(CNN)—Negotiators from 195 countries agreed Saturday on a blueprint deal aimed at reducing global carbon emissions and limiting global warming, a significant but far from conclusive step in the multinational effort to keep climate change in check.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) posted on its website a copy of the draft agreement, which officials have been working on intensively for some time.
The document addresses deforestation, food security, poverty and a host of other issues, with chunks of the document focused on what developed countries can do to reduce carbon dioxide missions by a yet to be determined level by 2050.
This includes what they can do to help other countries. To this point, one line in the draft states, "Developed countries shall provide developing countries with long-term, scaled-up, predictable, new and additional finance, technology and capability-building."

Hmm, let's see one of the "Agreements".
"...one line in the draft states, "Developed countries shall provide developing countries with long-term, scaled-up, predictable, new and additional finance, technology and capability-building."
A shocking and unexpected development!
Hold on to your wallets. Barry and his foreign cronies are about to stick it to the American taxpayers again.
Yeah, too bad no one cares.
The proletariat is about to undergo a massive walletectomy.
and then in a few years they find out Carbon is the only things keeping the planet from EXPLODING ,oh my
I wonder what the carbon footprint of this conference is?
What a sight. Liberals from around the world gather to dine on lobster and caviar, stay at luxury hotels, party all night long and charge it on their expense reports, and claim to be fighting climate change.
I will be shocked if any lasting agreements or change comes out of this conference. But then everyone attending will have had a good time at someone else’s expense, as they charge all of their expenses on an expense report to be paid by their employers or other liberal feel good organizations.
How many of the hungry/thirsty gasbags arrived in Paris on a sailboat?
Car service, hotels, and accommodations for the president and other administration officials to attend climate change talks in Paris are costing taxpayers nearly $2 million, according to government contracts.
The COP21 meeting of global leaders, which President Obama said is a “powerful rebuke” to terrorists, began on Monday. Representatives from 195 countries traveled to Paris, burning 300,000 tons of carbon dioxide for the United Nations conference that is seeking to reduce global emissions.
The tab for Obama’s motorcade alone totals $784,825. The State Department issued a $407,868 contract to Biribin Limousines, an international chauffeur service, for vehicles for the president’s security detail.
“No Sustainability Included,” the document states under a section for contract clauses.
Numerous other contracts for passenger vehicle rentals, including $9,042 for accompanying press, totaled $376,957.
Taxpayers were also billed $100,216 to book hotel accommodations for the president’s stay. Hotel rooms and cell phones for the U.S. Secret Service traveling with the president cost $16,642 and $4,034, respectively.
A number of cabinet secretaries are also in Paris for the United Nations conference, including IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, whose car service tab is $5,400.
Secretary of State John Kerry’s car service totaled $76,435, with three separate contracts worth $38,684, $15,789, and $21,962.
Car service for Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz is costing $19,080, and two contracts worth $10,153 and $10,737 were issued for Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack’s chauffeur service.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell is also attending the conference, with hotel accommodations at the Tuileries Finances in Paris costing $36,091, and her car service totaling $13,903.
In all, costs associated with the climate change summit totaled $1,805,282.
The spending included $51,337 to rent a hangar for Marine One for the duration of the trip, $4,744 to rent office equipment, $12,478 for a hotel suite for a control room, and $7,239 hotels for the United States Agency for International Development.
The government also paid Decoral, an interior design agency running accommodations for COP21, $486,989 and $134,778.
Spending on the conference dates back to August, when the government paid $9,576 to rent a meeting room.
President Obama’s goals he proposed for the conference are estimated to cost up to $45 billion per year and would reduce global temperatures by less than two-tenths of one degree.
Internationalist one-world Marxists and their scientist grant holders rejoice at still more taxpayer expense.
Meanwhile, daft taxpayers remain too gormless to defund these clowns.
So what happens when -- as is GUARANTEED -- the globe cools very significantly for the next 50 to 100 years.
We are entering a Maunder Minimum, you motherless tools.
No. Refuse. Resist. Eff these assholes.
Summary of so-called agreement: Gather up your money and give it to us.

Global Warming on Free Republic here, here, and here
I'm surprised they didn't send USSC Justice Roberts to make sure the new climate taxes are constitutional.
That’s the whole reason for the urgency. More specifically after the current El Nino the La Nina will kick in and create some very cold and snowy winters across the northern US. With the solar decline that could start as soon as next winter but definitely the winter after next.
I’m guessing they probably just do what Microsoft did. Buy 520 acres of forest and give it to a Preserve, bank the carbon tax credits, and call it good.
Oh crap. I meant to mention how that joke about “prime real estate in the Florida Everglades” isn’t a joke anymore. Just think of how many acres of trees in the middle of nowhere can now be sold as carbon credits!
