Climate Deal Going as Well as Health Care

Lets see. crazy leftists on the outside, and kleptocrats on the inside. Sounds like the leftist utopia has formed on earth! Anyway the big takeaway from "hopenhagan" appears to be paying developing countries money to look after their forests and lakes. Of course this means the money will likely be stolen and many of those forests will be logged and developed anyway, but its the thought that counts.

COPENHAGEN — With just two days remaining in historic and contentious climate talks here, China signaled overnight that it sees virtually no possibility that the nearly 200 nations gathered would find agreement by Friday.

An official in the American delegation said that China would agree only to a brief political declaration that left unresolved virtually all the major issues.The conference has deadlocked over emissions cuts by, and financing for, developing nations, including China, who say they will bear the brunt of a planetary problem they did little to create. Leaders had hoped to conclude an interim agreement on the major issues that would have “immediate operational effect.” The Chinese, it appears, are not willing to go that far at this meeting.

Whether the Chinese position represents political brinkmanship as senior ministers and heads of state begin arriving in Copenhagen for the final 48 hours of negotiations, or a genuine signal that Chinese officials are not inclined to settle the wide differences separating it and developed nations, was unclear on Thursday morning.

Got to it hand it to China, Western Liberals handed them a ready made excuse in warming hysteria and now they are playing it to the hilt. Of course China has spread tyranny and genocide internally and around the globe since the communists took over, but somehow that gets overlooked when questions of Mother Earth arise.
