"I heard President Sarkozy talk about hypocrisy. I'm trying to avoid such words," He said. "People tend to forget where this is from. In the past 200 years of industrialization, developed countries caused 80 percent of all greenhouse gas emission," he said.

"Whoever created this problem is responsible for the catastrophe we are facing."

Obama blames the West, with the biggest power being the US. In doing so, he weakens his own position of attainibg a binding treaty.

That's how much he hates The United States of America.

Greenhouse theory is pure bunkum.

” In the past 200 years of industrialization, developed countries caused 80 percent of all greenhouse gas emission,” he said. Whoever created this problem is responsible for the catastrophe we are facing.”

It sounds like a meeting of morons. They’re mad at the industrial revolution?

Officials said they doubt that a comprehensive and legally binding treaty can emerge from Cancun.

No treaty should be base on a total LIE! Any POL who still tries to explain away this BIG LIE is a fraud and a Traitor.

There is no catastrophe. Global warming is a fable invented by totalitarians who want to destroy western civilization. Western civilization has improved the standard of living for the whole world based on access to petroleum and coal based fuels. Demonizing carbon and CO2 is the big lie aimed at destroying the energy underpinnings of western civilization. Wipe it out and billions starve and return to subsistence farming.

America has truly reached its lowest point when the populace elects a CEO, (not to mention Commander in Chief), who despises the very entity, for which he is supposed to be the staunchest advocate.

Gee, and here I thought that the leaked emails described how much of a fraud and waste the AGW claims were .....

{{China’s negotiator replied that he was speaking for his government and his country. He also rebuffed Sarkozy.}}

{{”I heard President Sarkozy talk about hypocrisy. I’m trying to avoid such words,” He said. “People tend to forget where this is from. In the past 200 years of industrialization, developed countries caused 80 percent of all greenhouse gas emission,” he said.}}

{{”Whoever created this problem is responsible for the catastrophe we are facing.”}}

This was seemingly attributed to Obama by you, Berlin Freeper, in your posting. I don’t trust Obama one bit, but misquoting him makes you appear churlish.

[loreldan]

Not to argue that Obama likes the West. (I do think he blames us for a lot.) But what you put in quotes was not Obama speaking. It was the Chinese negotiater. The sentence before says:

China's negotiator replied that he was speaking for his government and his country. He also rebuffed Sarkozy.

"I heard President Sarkozy talk about hypocrisy. I'm trying to avoid such words," He said. "People tend to forget where this is from. In the past 200 years of industrialization, developed countries caused 80 percent of all greenhouse gas emission," he said. "Whoever created this problem is responsible for the catastrophe we are facing."

” ...developed countries caused 80 percent of all greenhouse gas emission,” he said.

Our president said THAT? Hahahaha!

” ...developed countries caused 80 percent of all greenhouse gas emission,” he said.

And maybe Guam will tip over?

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Good grief! This reminds me of when Obama claimed that proper tire inflation would do as much as drilling for oil.

[Aria]

I suppose he thinks most of us should go back to living in huts like his brother in Kenya.

Of course that isn’t for the likes of himself and his favored people, the ones who consider themselves important.

This really is the end of “all men are created equal”.

If we can’t get rid of this man and his enablers in the next election I’m afraid the US as we knew it is completely kaput.

“Fannie Mae Chief Executive Officer Franklin Raines, two of his top underlings and select
individuals in the "green" movement were inventing a patented system to trade residential carbon credits.
Patent No. 6904336 was approved by the U.S. Patent and Trade Office on Nov. 7, 2006 --
the day after Democrats took control of Congress. Former Sen. John Sununu, R-N.H.,
criticized the award at the time, pointing out that it had "nothing to do with Fannie Mae's charter, nothing to do with making mortgages more affordable."

"It wasn't about mortgages. It was about greenbacks. The patent, which Fannie Mae confirmed it still owns with Cantor Fitzgerald subsidiary CO2e.com, gives the mortgage giant a lock on the fledgling carbon trading market, thus also giving it a major financial stake in the success of cap-and-trade legislation."

“Here comes the next bubble -- carbon trading
Forget CDOs and other inventions of the great credit bubble. That’s all old hat.
Investment bankers are moving on to an area of securities trading that is potentially even
more lucrative, and what’s more, even has a social value – saving the planet.
….According to Mr Schapiro, carbon trading is now the fastest growing commodities
market on earth. Since Kyoto signatories bought in to the cap and trade concept in 2005,
there have been more than $300bn carbon transactions, prompting several investment
banks, including Goldman Sachs and Barclays, to set up their own carbon trading desks.
But that’s just the start. If President Obama and his supporters can institute a cap-and-
trade system in the United States – and that’s a big if for this increasingly marooned
presidency – demand could explode into a $2 to $3 trillion market.

And here’s the great thing about it. Unlike traditional commodities markets, which will
eventually involve delivery to someone in physical form, the carbon market is based on
lack of delivery of an invisible substance to no-one. Since the market revolves around
creating carbon credits, or finding carbon reduction projects whose benefits can then be
sold to those with a surplus of emissions, it is entirely intangible.

“Carbon developers”, many of them employed by large multinationals, travel the world
in search of carbon reduction projects to sell, while firms of carbon accountants have been
established to verify on the United Nations’ behalf that those reductions are real.
The whole thing, though well intentioned, looks wide open to abuse and scams. “

"...developed countries caused 80 percent of all greenhouse gas emission,"

Greenhouse effect

Total human greenhouse gas contributions add up to about 0.28% of the greenhouse effect. There is such a gap between elected officials and scientific knowledge. Scary, really.
