LE BOURGET, France (AP) -- Talks on a universal climate pact shifted to a higher gear Monday, with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urging governments to set off an "energy revolution" to rein in heat-trapping carbon emissions and avert disastrous global warming.

The European Union appeared to be softening its position on its demand that emissions targets in an eventual Paris climate accord need to be legally binding. And U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said that even if it's not legally binding, a deal could still change the way world business thinks about energy.

Do these morons even realize the planet would be uninhabitable without heat trapping gases ? No one ever tell them the world Oceans trap most of the heat.

Doomed if we do, and doomed if we don’t.

It has never been clear to me how extreme self-abnegation reverses the “damage” one whit.

The only “solution” that seems to make sense to these big thinkers is to reduce the human population of the planet to some small percentage of its current level.

That is so wrong, on so many levels.

Egads, hopefully the Algorinimum, already in progress, will offset this warming...

I sort of figure the ONLY climate change WE have to worry about is the number of JOKERS that get to put their hand on the ‘button’.

Of course all climate change in this effect isn’t completely wrong.

Look at pictures of Hiroshima in 1946 and today.
Look at pictures of Detroit in 1964 and today.

Tell me who the worse LONG RANGE threat is-

Nuclear Weapons/Power or LIBERALISM?

Old Chinese Proverbs:

“We can always fool the foreigner.”

“It’s when the contract is signed that the real negotiations begin.”

The upshot is that the Chinese don’t feel bound to honor any deal they reach with smelly, hairy barbarians.

I’d say let’s postpone any deals or requirements on this until we have scientific consensus and a 10 year track record of China and others abiding by the standards we already are held to.

The hardcore Maoists wave their Little Red Book and march in lock step.

Meanwhile, governments all over the world exact tribute on behalf of all scientist cadres lined up with their hands out.

A scam by any other name....

I have a smart-ass suggestion.
Eliminate the possibility of any government in the world, or international Agency of any sort, or large companies or One World Government, or criminal opportunists, or individuals to make a profit of any kind, directly or indirectly from the "mythical unicorn" of energy credits of any sort, manner or shape, and...

*POOF*

The entire scam goes away.

And it has not ever been PROVEN that anthropogenic global warming exists.

And, until it is, no parasites flying off in private jets all over the world, trying to get their filthy paws on the American taxpayers' wallet.

Doomsday can wait a few years before it grabs us all in our sleep.
Without destroying the countries that matter, and wipe out the countries that waits patiently forsomeone else to make them worthwhile in any sort of way.

Finally who we are, as a country, is for the citizens of the U.S.A. to decide. Ignorant, delusional arrogant Megalomaniacs need not apply.

So, I’m guessin’ the IQ level in gay paris has dropped to an all time low with the arrival of this gaggle of scammers?

Look at the bright side. In the United states the average IQ has risen by a significant amount.

I would so love to see the next president give the U.N. a 90 days eviction notice.

30 days.
We can ship their furniture to Uganda later.
