Presidential staff say America remains determined to play a leadership role at the climate talks in Copenhagen, but downplay prospects of taking steps to curb its own carbon emissions first.

Someone must of told him what it’s gonna really cost ……… in dollars , not skittles .
Paul Martin No. 2 coming up.
Obama, meet Reality. Reality, Obama.
Progressive-leaning Americans are beginning to realize that their man from the land of Rainbows and Lolipops is not actually a miracle worker. Obama The Chosen must deal with same brutal facts that Darth Bush did, and often come to the same brutal realizations.
I can really see Obama going ahead with this Climate Change (four seasons) bullshit on top of the worst economic crisis since the depression. SURE!
Meanwhile Moses parts the Red Sea, and the Ezralites escape from the Egyptians.
Hey, I think I saw this movie.
But the 40 years wandering in the desert, eating Dan Quayle and Manna a Mano, now that takes patience.
Okay a little more sack cloth and ashes, and we’ll get to the promised land. But no money changers in the temple, cause we did that already.

I think I’m going to be sick.
And LORD send me snowplow as I have another six inches of AGW coming to my driveway this evening.
I knew I went to Ash Wednesday service for a reason.

Ah yes its CARBON emissions that come from Anthropogenic sources. So the Anthropogenic sources need to be eliminated right?
That’s the Paul Watson Sea Shepard plan isn’t it?

I believe he has a bridge for sale as well promising to save the planet.
This is going to be very sad, but very funny at the same time.
Paul Martin 2 ? Ya man, great description.
Hey! He’s wrecking the American economy as fast as he can, cut the guy some frickin’ slack whydontcha?!
/.sarc
Short memories in the press eh? 8 years of Clinton, zero talk about actual reductions, just lots of “concern” and “leadership”. Republican in the White House? Oh, all targets all the time.
Now we’re back to “concern” and “leadership”. The Guardian hasn’t finished switching to the Dem president boilerplate. Media, they don’t move too quick some times.
the man’s a buffoon. He should be replaced. All he’s carry in his pickup is YARN. That’s all he speaks, yarn.
If you cut your emissions, revenue from your carbon tax drops.
That’s a very bad thing when you have just been on a trillion and half spending spree.
There are two reasons for the backpedalling:
1. Public opinion is running more and more against AGW theory in the US. Barack will never ever run against a strong current of public opinion and thus is trying to deflect away from the main current and stick to rhetoric rather than action.
2. There is now zero chance of a cap and trade passing through congress (see public opinion comment above). BO doesn’t want to get on the bad side of pelosi (is there a good side?) since he sold his political soul to her on the porkulus package.
Expect him to do a similar headfake on healthcare the closer we get to it being put forward especially if the markets and the economy continue to struggle.
evidence that my last theory is already unfolding:

Time to start referring to the “Chosen One” as “O-for”. I’m thinking that by the time his first (and last) term is up he will be called:
“O-for on the economy”
“O-for on global warming”
“O-for on the fight against terrorism”
“O-for on medicare”
“O-for on education”
“O-for on rebuilding infrastructure”
The true meaning of “O” will be a whole lot different than it is today.
He will go down in history as the “Great O-for”
And then you have loons like the father of Gaia still getting print:

C’mon you guys, “technically” a moment can be any amount of time. So the messiah has not “technically” lied to you. It all depends on the definition. Isn’t that what Clinton said?
I read to-day the EU Carbon market is in the outhouse. Something to do with not spending money you don’t have I think. So many dreams and so few trillions.
From the article:
The rescue plan ran into concerted Republican opposition, preventing Obama from making good on an election promise to end partisan bickering in Washington.
Ohhhh, don’t you just hate it when your god falls afoul of some pesky little termites. Damn republicans, it’s all their fault – it’s always their fault!!
Oh well, it is in the guardian after all, the paper of choice for dictators round the world (or at least the Isle)!
Realistically, Obama might have meant the moment the rise of the seas slowed due to natural variance. Maybe he’s a smarter cookie than we give him credit for.
Will Japan have a different approach to the Copenhagen talks, now that a new report refutes the connection between CO2 and Global Warming? The report, by Japanese scientists, also casts doubt about the climate change being a warming or cooling event or just typical fluctuations as in: no event at all. As far as the eco-fascists citing the cap and trade of the EU, rest assured that Europe has in no way lowered CO2 emmissions overall in the GAP and SPLAYED scheme of wealth redistribution in the name of GREEN. Could be the jig is up.
