The U.N. climate conference narrowly escaped collapse Saturday as bitterly divided delegates agreed after all-night talks to recognize a political compromise that President Barack Obama brokered with China and other emerging powers.
The Copenhagen Accord was bogged down for hours by protests from delegates who felt they were excluded from the process or said the deal didn't go far enough in cutting the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming.
After a break, the conference president gaveled a decision to "take note" of the agreement instead of formally approving it. Experts said that clears the way for the accord to begin even though it was not formally approved by the conference.
"We have a deal in Copenhagen," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said, adding "this is just the beginning" of a process to craft a binding pact to reduce emissions. He said the agreement "will have an immediate operational effect."
Disputes between rich and poor countries and between the world's biggest carbon polluters -- China and the U.S. -- dominated the two-week conference in Copenhagen, the largest and most important U.N. meeting ever on fighting global warming.

So we paid them hush money? instead of accomplishing real, concrete terms and conditions?
If I wasn’t happily retired, I do believe I’d start some sort of methane monitoring business. I have no clue how to do it, but how hard could it be? After all, I did drive by a cow once.

Hopefully he won't be as successful getting our stupid Senate to accept this POS.
The thick blanket of snow covering much of the country threatens to wipe tens of millions of pounds off the £1.1 billion spending spree that retailers had been hoping for this weekend. The disappointment closes one of the toughest years in decades.
Some supermarkets were left with gaps on their shelves after lorries were unable to leave depots. Neil Saunders, lead analyst at Verdict, a retail consultancy, said: “It’s the worst possible timing. These two days are peak shopping.
“Most people will have done some shopping, but would have banked on leaving this weekend free.”
Even if shoppers find time to shop next week, they are less likely to make the impulse purchases on which retailers thrive during the vital Christmas period. Many lose money throughout the year until December.
But, but what about the unemployed, poor and starving in Detroit?
Oh, they voted for him. Big Gotcha Detroiters!

Unbelievable! Obama saved Europe too from that evil Global Warmer.
It’s clear where the money will come from. The IRS now accepts Visa and Mastercard.
A lot of hot air with a weasel worded unenforceable agreement which will be quickly ignored. And, that’s the good news.
The Third World has already rejected the agreement
100 billion dollars, to buy limos, villas, private jets and megayachts for third world dictators.
What a deal!
Lets see borrow money from China to give to places like China. Worse than the Mafia.
