As Predicted: Paris Climate Talks Deadlocked
India<’>s crucial role at the climate change talks in Paris has once again been underlined by a high-level outreach by the United States, including a call to Prime Minister Modi from President Barack Obama who hopes to cement his legacy with an ambitious global agreement on curbing global warming.
Obama reached out to Modi on Tuesday in an attempt to break the deadlock at the climate summit, where the responsibility of developing countries such as India in tackling rising global temperatures has been a sticking point.
He spoke to Modi hours before US Secretary for State John Kerry and environment minister Prakash Javadekar held a 45-minute meeting in Paris.
Sources said the meeting between Kerry and Javadekar failed to reach a compromise on a number of issues, including redefining the differentiation between the rich and the developing world in < “>changed circumstances<â€> and a proposed review and verification of climate action plans.
Obama<’>s move was apparently aimed at breaking the ice and resolving contentious issues before the first draft of the ministerial consultations was released on Wednesday. Sources said an agreement in Paris will not be possible without India and the US converging on a range of issues. A lot is at stake for both countries as the Paris climate agreement on limiting carbon emissions and financing cleaner energy will have a far reaching impact on their economies.
Obama, who faces opposition to his clean energy plan in the Republican-controlled US Congress – both chambers – and multiple states, wants to leave the White House next year with a <>climate legacy<â€> that protects American interests. This could mean India losing out on cheaper cleaner technologies, having to pay in future to the global climate fund and contending with an intrusive review mechanism for climate action plans.
“Both leaders underscored their strong commitment to address issues related to climate change being discussed in the Paris conference through constructive engagement, without impeding the progress of developing countries,†a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office said on the conversation between Modi and Obama.
The White House, in a statement, said both leaders emphasised their “personal commitment to secure a strong climate change agreement†and their interest in the two countries “working together to achieve a successful outcomeâ€.
The conversations between India and the US are important for forging a deal in Paris that is acceptable to all while maintaining a balance between the interests of the two countries. India and the US have taken divergent stands on key issues.
<">There was very little agreement on most issues,<â€> a negotiator from a developing country said.
fyi
A den of thieves planning a heist — and squabbling over how the loot will be divided.
Mais oui!
Exactly, there is no honor among thieves.
Barky will do anything to secure a deal.
Can’t wait until Obama saves us from the climate.
He’s done such a great job on everything else!!
If it Rains , Snows or the Wind Blows Obama will let you Sue the US for Damages
Interesting.
Will 0bama and the co2 Nazi’s shift the blame for all the worlds ills to India and China now.
The flooding in India happened because of Poor Drainage , Poor Planning and Poor Construction and nothing to do with the Myth Global Warming
I read all that and concluded that India is holding out for more money.
[[A den of thieves planning a heist — and squabbling over how the loot will be divided.]]
Bingo- that’s exactly what it is- NO greater scam has been perpetrated on the world than this colossal scam- The people meeting there are not even interested in hearing cold hard facts- they are only interested in highly manipulated computer model results that ‘predict’ what will happen 100 years into the future IF IF IF- That is their ‘science’ to back up this massive fraud and theft
It's like SCTV’s spoof of Ocean's 11
“What kinda talk is that? There's beatnicks around here!!”
The air is clear here today, thanks to rain&wind, not Obammy or China or India or jean Clod s’Cary or CARB.
Talk about blowing smoke up folks undies,, it never stops, does it?
Meanwhile, mosques and militants are plotting,planning .. and executing their own ‘climate change’ agenda.
He's done such a great job on everything else!!*
WOW!
If it turns out to be real (which it won't), a hundred years from now our great-grand children living in mud huts without electricity or jobs will be so grateful that he rescued us from the .000000007800001111 degree F increase in temperature and the 3/16’s of an inch rise of the ocean.
Obama, Sheldon “The Iron Claw” Whitehouse, Algore, Matt Damon, and Bill Nye the Anti-Science Guy come onto the stage dressed in purple velvet suits with ruffled shirts:
“I Can turn a gray sky blue.
I can make it rain, whenever I want it to.
I can make a mountain of false Climate data from a single grain of sand.
I can make the USA into a third world land.
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue. ‘Cause I can't Bravo Sierra you.”
It’s all about funding world government and killing the US economy. As Rev. Wright said “God D__n America!!” Obama might even want to be the new head of the UN if they can get a steady revenue stream. He could REALLY finish the job then.
Instead of telling the world to go f* itself, Barak and Kerry are kowtowing to the activists. Kerry, because he think his world standing will rise; Obama, because he hates the US and intends to knock us down a few rungs.
Exactly!
So many people, even a few on here, just don’y grasp the fact that it has NOTHING to do with CLIMATE, carbon, glaciers, surface temperatures, El Nino, coal, fracking, or walruses. It’s just money and power at the expense of the world’s former single superpower. Our enemies both domestic and foreign are quite transparent about their intentions. Alternative forms of media are the only way to communicate the truth.
