Oh sure, lots of luck in controlling the climate. Who does Obama think he is-----God? Or, is it his Muslim god of his youth. Not impressed as we brace for a snow storm of 1 to 2 feet in Virginia.

You are a hilarious buffoon! Why do you find it necessary to make such ridiculous comments? They didn't broker any deal. The Chinese, unlike Obama said it challenges their sovereignty. They made a non-binding suggestion lol

Kenneth said: "Obama just earned the Nobel prize by brokering an agreement on climate control." Kenneth, You can't be serious! Are you kidding or are you lying? Once someone has been shown to lie, everything they say is suspect. I now know not to believe anything you post. .

U.N. climate forum gives up on adopting accord brokered by Obama, others+ Dec 19 07:42 AM US/Eastern (AP) - COPENHAGEN, Dec. 19 (Kyodo)—A crucial U.N. climate conference on Saturday gave up on adopting a political accord brokered by U.S. President Barack Obama and other world leaders, and instead decided to just "take note of" the text after an all-night tug-of-war session between its supporters and opponents. More than 190 member nations of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change also decided to specify the parties that endorse the nonbinding Copenhagen Accord, which commits developed countries to introducing respective greenhouse gas emission targets for 2020 and developing countries to deciding on actions to mitigate climate change. Obama played a key role in the process of crafting the political accord with about 30 major players, including Japan and European countries, in the climate talks. The U.S. president managed to break the stalemate through a meeting with the leaders of four emerging economies -- China, Brazil, India and South Africa -- following intense negotiations. Some countries that were not involved in the closed-door drafting process of the Copenhagen Accord complained at the negotiation procedures and nonbinding nature of the pact. The pact says both developed and emerging countries will register their emission reduction target figures and voluntary mitigation pledges by Jan. 31. The climate accord also says the countries share the scientific view that the world should limit warming to no more than 2 C from pre- industrial levels. Some climate campaigners attack the document as being too weak in the global fight against climate change. U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon told a press conference that the Copenhagen Accord is operational immediately from next year and vowed to do his best to turn the pact into a legally binding treaty, possibly before the next round of the U.N. climate conference slated in Mexico between late November and early December in 2010. Observers say the accord will stand as voluntary commitments and only cover the listed countries before decisions are made at the upcoming U.N. talks on whether to turn it into a legal text. The agreement also stipulates $30 billion in aid for developing countries to help them grapple with the impact of climate change for the period 2010-2012. As long-term assistance, the pact supports the goal of mobilizing $100 billion a year by 2020. The accord also calls for an assessment of its implementation to be completed by 2015 and exploring strengthening the long-term goal to limit the rise in the global average temperature to 1.5 C.
