When it comes to dealing with climate change—and reducing carbon emissions, the top man-made cause of warming—the international community is doing a crap job. The U.N. process is bogged down, with ambitions that seem to shrink each year even as the summits themselves grow longer and longer.
So with the front door locked on climate action, it might be time to try the back. That’s why the U.S.—as well as representatives from the U.N. and several other countries—is getting behind a new initiative to reduce black carbon, methane and other “short-lived” greenhouse gases, so called because they remain in the atmosphere for a much shorter time than CO2. Rather than focusing only on carbon dioxide—which has proven stubbornly difficult to reduce, given that CO2 is part of nearly every major source of energy—working to cut the secondary gases opens up new ways to slow down warming and get side benefits to public health and agriculture. Better yet, focusing on black carbon and methane can help the international community bypass the developed vs. developing world impasse that has essentially frozen action on climate change. “You can’t [deal with climate change] without taking on CO2, but you can have a very positive impact by tackling the short-term gases,” said a senior Administration official who spoke on background to reporters before the announcement. “This helps us reduce emissions.”

This is all about control in shutting down industry and capitalism.

The only thing remaining for us, the victims, to do is keep track of the scammers continuing to promote the scam. Continue to collect names.
Maurice Strong is proud of their persistence.

If it ain’t working going through the front door the fraud doesn’t have a prayer of being revived going through the back door. It’s not hard to fool people that the sun is going to disappear during an eclispe. The problem for the scammers is when the sun starts to reappear. The release of the emails caused the sun to reappear big time.
The American poeple have been taking it up the back door on Green Initiatives for year. It has to stop! From phony carbon credits to fraudulently piping tax dollars to Obama bundlers - IT HAS TO STOP!
"..a senior Administration official" huh? Why is he nameless?
Maybe Mr. Canute can tell us next time, how he is proposing to deal with a much more serious problem : the tides. Damned tides are eroding all the continental coasts worldwide!
The horror!
If I were a mindless bureaucrat, pitching snake oil, I would want to remain anonymous too.
OK. I totally misinterpreted that headline when I first saw it.
Europe and North Africa could use a little global warming about now.
Give me $12,000,000,000.00 and three months and I can solve that problem, yep sure can.
LOL!
It’s dead Jim......but the body is still twitching.
