Copenhagen, Denmark (CNN) -- President Obama announced what he called a "meaningful and unprecedented" climate change deal with China and other key nations that was expected to be sealed before the president heads home from the Copenhagen summit late Friday.

"For the first time in history, all major economies have come together to accept their responsibility to take action to confront the threat of climate change," Obama told reporters.

The president said he met with leaders from India, China, Brazil and South Africa, and "that's where we agreed ... to set a mitigation target to limit warming to no more than 2 degrees Celsius."

Obama earlier told participants at the two-week conference nearing its end that "there is no time to waste" in forging an agreement.

"Now, I believe, it's the time for the nations and the people of the world to come behind a common purpose," Obama said. "We are ready to get this done today, but there has to be movement on all sides."

Worse, in the fake deal he supplicated himself again to China, dumping verification for some idea Chinese emissions can be monitored by satellite.

This is a modern day Tower of Babel. They believe if mankind unites we can scale the heavens and wrest weather control from God Almighty. Total depravity.

Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves... -Genesis 11:4

Let them beat their chests, scrape the ice, and shovel the snow. In the end God is not mocked.

Yes, but is it “historic”? “Unprecedented” doesn’t do me any good unless it’s “historic,” too.

Go over to DU and note how even the Lefties see this for the BS it truly is -- more Obama spin.

This is simply another:

30 BILLION through 2012......Shall we all consider the O insane.....?

Heck no! Sheer genius on Obama's part.

Obama's going to borrow the $30 billion from the Chinese...the note is nonrecourse. He picked that trick up from Morgan Stanley.

Well we at least gave away 100 billion tax dollars to this farce.

There should be serious congressional inquiry into this. Not one more taxpayer dime to perpetuate the Hoax of man caused warming.

That's about $325 for every man, woman and child in this country. There goes Christmas.

Don’t even need to read the fine print:

“all major economies have come together to accept their responsibility”

Which means squat.
