I’m sure glad that rude, crude cowboy isn’t in office alienating the other leaders of the world anymore. The smooth, calm, erudite manner of Obama in action…

US President Barack Obama at about 11 PM, had impatiently asked to speak with Wen Jiabao in order to advance the discussion. But Obama had to wait. Wen, who, it was rumored, had rarely left his hotel room, could not be found. Finally, the US delegation located him in a room set aside for negotiations. A visibly furious Obama, according to reports, stormed into the room. “Are you now ready to talk with me, Premier Wen?” he was reported to have shouted. “Are you now ready? Premier Wen, are you now ready to talk with me?” What a scene for a US president.

Wen was not alone in the room at the time when Obama quite literally burst into the room, according to participants. At the time, the Premier was in a conversation with India’s head of state, Mammohan Singh and South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma. Suddenly the group saw itself forced into a conversation with the US president.

At the insistence of the impatient Obama, this unplanned and coincidentally-assembled negotiating round and participants, agreed on a minimal compromise.

Obama should have discussed, coordinated with and agreed to this compromise with his closest partners: the European Union or the G77 Developing Nations. Instead, at about 10:25 PM, he called together a number of American journalists for an impromptu press conference. There he announced, the “Copenhagen Accord” as the conclusion and product of the two-week long conference. He was aware, that many countries would consider the result as insufficient and unsatisfactory. More, however, was not achievable.

He thought it a significant achievement and milestone that large developing countries like India and China had, for the first time, recognized the necessity of reducing emissions and accepted to limit warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius.

With that, he packed his bags and flew home. Chancellor Angela Merkel also left and went back to Berlin. Both left Copenhagen without having achieved a clear result. And, what is even more serious, without having bothered about a follow-on to what had been announced as an historic conference. Dealing with climate was left to others. It was a serious mistake that would soon make itself manifest.

Even while Obama and Merkel were on their way home, late during the night, the EU Commission, even as they gnashed their teeth, declared themselves prepared to accept Obama’s minimum compromise. Unlike the Europeans, many African nations were not prepared to follow. At the plenary session, Sudan’s head, Lumumba Di-Aping was beside himself. No one is entitled to destroy Africa said the Sudanese who was the spokesman for the G77 Developing Nations. He said the document would mean the death of millions. Finally, Di-Aping aroused outrage in the main meeting hall by comparing the accord to the Holocaust.

Jeez. What an anal orifice.

China also took note of the corruption endemic in Europe’s [cap-and-trade] system

It has long been considered that the US was the target of this massive redistribution of wealth, but for a moment, consider the case that over time the biggest “target” of this scheme turned out to be China … and China wanted no part of it.
The irony of communist China being against “wealth redistribution” is just so far out there.

“COPENHAGEN WAS A SUCCESS” — CHICOMS SAY

But it didn’t address “Climate Change,” aka “Anthropogenic Global Warming.” What gives?

It was NEVER about AGW, at all. That was just the ruse they used to slip their hijack of the world past us, as Lord Monkton explains.
(there are 4 parts, and they are dynamite)

I wonder if the Chinese are in on giving themselves over to the UN? I doubt it, because I can’t see them submitting to either the UN, or it’s Islamist faction. Perhaps they are just using this to undermine everybody else? I don’t know, but if worse comes to worst, and I had to choose between being ruled by the Chinese or by the UN, the lesser of those to evils is by far the Chinese. (Not that I want that if it can at all be avoided, but if the UN wins over the US, then I’ll be rooting for the Chinese.)

Maybe now would be a good time to dig out those Chinese grammar books and pick up where I left off 30 years ago, when I had some Chinese friends whom I worked with?

I will not be shocked if certain Milita States will resort to a form of physical backlash on their own Citizens or Neighboring Nations to express dissatisfaction of not recieving large sums of money from those who have, “wronged them” and give a crisis that artificaly justifies Global Climate Change policies. What was that one rule for radicals again? Do not let go a good crisis to manipulate the populations?… Hmm..

Population control is one of the biggest things on the UN’s / OWG’s list. 250,000 kids are gonna die? These people would say (in private) that wasn’t even a good beginning!
