President Obama has just returned from the U.N. Climate Conference in Copenhagen. He is taking credit for broking a "accord" with China to reduce carbon emissions. Now if this deal had some checks or accountability, this would be a real coup, since China has some of the most polluted cities in the world.

But this "accord" is non - binding. Does that mean they had their fingers crossed on their left hand as they shook on the agreement with their right? I agree, but you can't hold me to it? Huh?

The President is calling this "unprecedented and historic". Call me crazy, but this isn't much to brag about.

I personally found it ironic that the President landed in a blizzard as he returned from this climate conference.

I also found it ironic that the President landed in a blizzard as he returned from this global warming conference.

I find it amusing that people who find Global Warming to be such a howling joke are able to believe in the Rapture.
Greenhouse gases heating up the atmosphere is far fetched.
Twenty million overwe!ght, bucknekkid Republicans flying up into the clouds - that aint weird at all.

Tim - Glad to hear someone else noticed the irony in that.

Will - Can we spit shake and pinky swear?

Jane - Since the earth was entirely covered by ice, I guess there is no doubt it is warming. As for when & how the Good Lord chooses to call me home, I'll leave that to him. Merry Christmas.

Thats why its called climate change Greg, extremes in the weather. Might be hot, as was this year, the hottest on record, might produce massive blizzards, its climate change regardless of how anyone tries to down play it by saying Obama landed in a blizzard.

Terry - President landed in a snow storm(blizzard). Those happen every winter(nothing extreme). Also according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).2009 will rank in the top 10, possibly #5 on temperature list of all time,not the hottest on record.

Climate change is what the planet has done for billions of years. It's been doing if since before man and will continue to do it after man.

Natural evolution of the planet.

It's really no surprise that the king of politicians (the American president) will act like a politician. It was necessary to come away with 'something' even if that's not going to change anything. (Jane - Wow!)
