AMSTERDAM (AP) - Top U.N. climate change official Yvo de Boer told The Associated Press on 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's resignation adds to the uncertainty that a full treaty can be finalized there.
De Boer is known to be deeply disappointed with the 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.

Why do they want to bring down a blizzard on Mexico in July?

The good Doctor’s resignation, should put a damn nail in the GW Coffin for ever. The jig is up, the hoax revealed for all to see. There will be no money in the UN coffers, or anyone else’s for that matter. The world court should be rounding up and indicting the usual suspects. After which we can expect a reasonable time of quiet and peace, before the next world wide scam is attempted.
Does anyone notice anything missing from this article? Climategate? Phil Jones? Emails? Was this story written by Yvo de Boer or the U.N.?
Excellent timing.

Bet he’s in line for a nice pension.
Can’t stand the heat? Get out of the kitchen. Haha.

I’m sure he is disappointed that he didn’t get to stay long enough to cash in on the big money like Kofi Annan did with the oil-for-food scam.
That brings up a very good point. Why would these supposedly smart people plan a gathering on global warming in a location and at a time of year that could yield these results?

D’oh. I meant to say December.
Bayh Bayh Bayh!
