Yvo de Boer, the top U.N. climate change official, is resigning after nearly four years -- mere months before 193 nations are due to reconvene in Mexico for another attempt to reach a worldwide agreement on controlling greenhouse gases.
Yvo De Boer, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change listens to comments during a session on climate change at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Top U.N. climate change official Yvo de Boer told The Associated Press Thursday that he was resigning after nearly four years, a period when governments struggled without success to agree on a new global warming deal. His departure takes effect July 1, five months before 193 nations are due to reconvene in Mexico for another attempt to reach a binding worldwide accord on controlling greenhouse gases.
De Boer is known to be deeply disappointed with outcome of the last summit in Copenhagen, which drew 120 world leaders but failed to reach more than a vague promise by several countries to limit carbon emissions -- and even that deal fell short of consensus.
But he denied to the AP that his decision to quit was a result of frustration with Copenhagen.

The hoax and scam is over. It didn’t work out.
AH
Good riddance. One down . . .
The fraud continues to fall apart...
Give John Bolton the job.
Waiting for the fraud charges on Al Gore!!!! But, I won’t hold my breath!
Hey Al Gore and Obama: no one wants to work with you anymore.
If they run, they’re guilty!
This one needs to be investigated. Where are his assets? How much is his net worth? Where did it all come from?
Don’t let the robbers escape justice!
Maybe it's frustration with East Anglia.
Maybe he actually finally read the damning emails.
“The hoax and scam is over. It didn’t work out.”
The timing couldn’t be more crucial: “mere months before 193 nations are due to reconvene in Mexico for another attempt to reach a worldwide agreement on controlling greenhouse gases.”
When is everyone going to “get it”. It doesn’t matter what the climate scientists decide about the need to conserve greenhouse gases or global warming, no nation on earth (except maybe China) can AFFORD to do ANYTHING about it!
Science doesn’t fit with Big Government(UN)consensus/control !
UN must not control scientists!
“Waiting for the fraud charges on Al Gore!!!! But, I won’t hold my breath!”
Just KNOWING Al Gore’s Convenient Lie has been exposed and he has “lost face” with the American people finally and for good, I find VERY satisfying.
I’m obviously not a linguist, but does his name mean ‘You The Pig’?
“Does De Boer rhyme with Algore???”
Yes, in fact, I do believe that Dr. Seuss could write a book, they rhyme so well (I KNOW Seuss died)....
“I’m obviously not a linguist, but does his name mean ‘You The Pig’?”
Hmmm....Yvo de Boer...yeah, I think it probably does!
Guy was probably getting about $300k a year compensation and allowances.
