"Leaked agreement throws Copenhagen into crisis

The Copenhagen climate talks has been rocked by the leak of a draft final agreement which weakens the role of the United Nations in climate change negotiations and abandons the Kyoto Protocol.

The "Danish text" draft agreement, published by the UK's Guardian newspaper, has been described as a dangerous document for developing countries.

Over the past week, parts of Denmark's proposal have leaked into the public domain, but this is the first time it has been published in its entirety.

According to the Guardian, the secret agreement has been worked on by a group of individuals known as the 'circle of commitment'.

It is understood to include Australia, the US, the UK and Denmark, which are all said to have finalised the deal in the past two days.

The document abandons the Kyoto Protocol, sidelines the United Nations in future climate change negotiations, and hands most of the power to rich countries. ..."

There is a certain irony that we might be saved from Obama's bad global warming treaty by some country like Kenya being outraged over it.

Don't buy it for a minute. They are not going to be "out" of our wallets but the countries in this agreement will be. And, they will get to decide who gets what. It's a quantum leap forward for power. It coalesces this power grab to a few instead of all of the members of the UN.

My guess is that it’s a giant left-wing scam. Typical of these thugs to invent something classified as “terrible”, “unthinkable”, “horrific”, all the while knowing full well that it is a pure invention and utterly meaningless. But then the WHITE KNIGHTS will magically ride to the “rescue” with a “truly fine” piece of work which will be immediately presented to we the suckers in the public as something which will save us all from a fate worse than death. It will be adopted with much fanfare and leftists will tell us how lucky we were to have been SAVED from that original, awful bit of legislation which could have destroyed us. Naturally, they will have passed what they intended to pass in the first place.

Yeah, interesting. Thanks.

What I'm not getting at this point, though, is that this "leaked" agreement...if approved, would remove the U.N. from the "process" as well as "allow" the developed (read, rich) countries to emit more CO2. I guess they want to push this Danish proposal because it transfers the "power" to the World Bank.

That, and more power to the World Bank. Making a lot more sense now why they would try to do that.

Crazy Bast@#$s.
