The Chinese were yanking the chains. They would like to see USA shoot herself in the foot. The goal of China is to become the superpower of this century. They are on their way to achieving the goal. Having their major competitors hamstrung would help them achieve their goal. I think it is a good thing for countries to come together to talk about a global problem. Unfortunately Copenhagen was not about that. It was a sideshow. I am a little less enthused by the idea of the US signing up to a deal, unless we can see how it will benefit our economy. Then we agree. Having Gore getting rich off peddling a hoax is embarrassing. No binding deals. The only blemish on the talks was that we're putting up $10B to fund developing countries. That should be spent on our own US of A to rebuild our economy, starting with renewable energy. Or we could start with a hundred years worth of natural gas we could easily extract if we are willing to. Regardless of what direction, investing in USA is smarter than propping up petty dictators. Make no mistake, bribes paid into a global warming fund will mostly go to petty dictators.
