Leaders, Activists Throwing in the Towel in Copenhagen

COPENHAGEN — Has Copenhagen collapsed?

That seems to be the growing sentiment inside the city's Bella Conference Center, where officials, environmentalists and even delegates to the international climate conference began streaming out Friday evening. What began with excitement and anticipation two weeks ago ended Friday night with disappointment and anger for thousands.

"This is a sad day for my country," said Mama Konate, chief delegate from the West African nation of Mali. "We have worked very hard to reach this agreement. And now it seems over. Without a deadline, I don't know if we will ever finish."

The conference, the largest of its kind, attracted scientists, activists and human rights supporters from every corner of the globe, who believe that without a climate accord limiting greenhouse gases, glaciers will melt, oceans will rise and the weather will go so warm it could wipe out 50 percent of the Earth's species. Until Friday, they saw Copenhagen as their last chance to stop it.

"You can scapegoat the process. That wasn't it. It was the unwillingness of people to move around big issues: China on verification, the U.S. on deeper emission cuts," said the head of an NGO that does relief work in Africa.

This will be reported by the media as a rousing success for Mr. Obama. He will be shown as working very hard to achieve an agreement.

Well, to be honest, the Emperor's New Clothes ARE something special.

Translation: We had hoped to plunder the west for millions of dollars but it looks like that won't happen now!

Leave it to an idiot like Obama to be the last Rat to leave a ship that not only hit an icebert, but then got torpedoed, has a plague, has been set afire and is already completely submerged.

This was the best the Democrats had to offer? His only qualification for the office of POTUS is, has been and forever will be that he is half-black. And even at that level of qualification, is woefully inadequate among his peers.”

I heard that the amount of carbon involved for all of these “leaders” to fly there in their private jets and limos is the equivalent of what 2000 Americans would have used in a year. Way to set an example!

I mean, I agree with Castro, and I’m rooting for Russia and China. I mean this truly is Bizarro World I’ve stumbled into.

At least the state-run media isn't blaming Copehagen's collapse on Bush!

Give them time. Obama will try to explain away his failure by saying that Bush has built up so much international bad will, that it is impossible for even the Anointed One to overcome. That seems to be his pattern. Remember that even after campaigning on the economy being "the worst since the Great Depression", he tried to explain away the failures of his "solutions" by saying that his administration had no idea how bad it was (i.e. "My predecessor blah blah blah").
