The conference, the largest of its kind, attracted scientists, activists and human rights supporters from every corner of the globe, who believe that without a climate accord limiting greenhouse gases, glaciers will melt, oceans will rise and the weather will go so warm it could wipe out 50 percent of the Earth's species. Until Friday, they saw Copenhagen as their last chance to stop it.
"You can scapegoat the process. That wasn't it. It was the unwillingness of people to move around big issues: China on verification, the U.S. on deeper emission cuts," said the head of an NGO that does relief work in Africa.

Another Scandinavian failure for “The 0ne”. GOOD!!! All those greedy tin-horn marxist looters were all crying that Hillary’s pot of free money wasn’t enough. NOW CHOKE ON IT!!! You get NOTHING from the US taxpayer.
snowed out
Sniveling, polar ice cap prostitutes, posing as Greenware, when all they really want is America’s wealth and for us to drop to our knees and hand it over.
Anti-capitalist, lying busterds can crawl back to their palaces and huts and start planning for their next enviro-global BS/hot-air session.
Other than that-—its a great day!
I believe the line after what you posted said something about his country working hard to get to the point (oe some such).
I was thinking..yep..real hard. Ok, boys..we are gonna have all of these prosperous countries pay us big bucks..all in favor?
Hard work my butt.
It's criminal what these people have been led to believe. Talk about crimes against humanity....
Africa could care less about climate. All they want is the money for their leaders. This whole thing is a scam for money that we, as American tax payers, would pay for.
His reason for promoting this farce was exactly the same as his reason for wanting the Olympics in Chicago.
Money to be made for his cronies.
We can only pray for a republican takeover of congress and the senate in 2010 or this country is DOOMED.
There is no doubt that we cannot afford another congressional session with these evil people in charge.
WATERLOO MOMENT!!!...bawahhahaha...DON'T MESS with mother nature!! LOL
Zero gets zero, improves man’s life zero, and warms Copenhagen zero degrees
May heathcare and cap&tax also be zeros!
This will be reported by the media as a rousing success for Mr. Obama. He will be shown as working very hard to achieve an agreement.
Makes me want to throw up.
“This will be reported by the media as a rousing success for Mr. Obama. He will be shown as working very hard to achieve an agreement.”
I just heard that very same thing on the radio a short while ago.
The plan has always been to ‘spread the wealth around’
Just on a much larger scale than anyone could ever imagine.
Dmitry Medvedev has left the building

“This is a sad day for my country,” said Mama Konate, chief delegate from the West African nation of Mali.
If what I’ve heard of Mali (and Africa as whole) is true, they have a lot more important things to worry about than global warming.
"ROVE, YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!"
Mama was looking for some dough.
No need for them to do that...the HildeBeast saved them the hassle.
