U.S. affirms support for U.N. climate goal after criticism
Reuters ^ | 8/8/2012

The United States reaffirmed support for a U.N. goal of limiting global warming after criticism from the European Union and small island states that Washington seemed to be backing away.

"The U.S. continues to support this goal. We have not changed our policy," U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern said in a statement on Wednesday.

Almost 200 nations, including the United States, have agreed to limit rising temperatures to below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 F) above pre-industrial times to avoid dangerous changes such as floods, droughts and rising sea levels.

While you sleep, the Marxist monkeys at reuters cook their daily ration of lies for fools and useful idiots to consume. Neither I nor my congresscritter have agreed to “limit rising temperatures to below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 F).”

The knuckle-dragging, anti-semitic apes at reuters are direct descendents of Goebbels’ Ministry of Propaganda.

Superstition and apostasy.

Man has nothing to do with climate change. Climate change is here to stay as it has for the past million years. Climate change is caused by the Sun.

Most, if not all, UN policies will result in chaos.

What kind of damned fool promises to limit the temperature change of the earth to below 2 degrees celsius.

The earth doesn’t have a thermostat that man can turn up or down.

Any person who thinks man can just adjust the earth’s temperature is an insane fool.

We cannot even create a shower in a drought,we cannot stop a hurricane or a tornado,and we damned sure cannot agree to not allow the earth to get hotter or colder.

What kind of stupid chits are running the UN to think we can?

[. . .limit rising temperatures to below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 F) above pre-industrial times. . .]

While you’re at it, make it rain in the Midwest and save the corn.

Why stop there? I think things were even better when mile-high glaciers were parked where Chicago is today.

If the Democrats could just pass a law forbidding any further temperature rise, I’m sure the sun would cooperate.

Morons, dregs, Democrats, Communists, Socialists, Atheists, Marxists, dictators, and the like, are the kinds of fools that promise to limit the temperature change of the Earth.

These are the same people who claim that men and women are 100% interchangeable, and that it is okay to kill the unborn even if they are born but were unwanted.

Those people are certifiable nuts and ought to be locked in institutions and treated for their mental illness.
