The deal reiterates a goal that eight leading industrialized nations set earlier this year on long-term emission cuts and provides a mechanism to help poor countries prepare for climate change, the official said.
But it falls far short of committing any nation to emissions reductions beyond a general acknowledgment that the effort should contain global temperatures along the lines agreed to by the leading economic nations in July.
In other words despite all that carbon was spewed from all those airplanes and limos and the world pretty much ran in place. They should have done this whole thing via teleconference and put it on CSPAN. I guess you can count the days until that "mechanism to help poor countries" is:1. Stolen by sticky fingered UN diplomats like Oil For Food. I bet Kofi Annan's son has already applied for a job with this group.
2. Misappropriated by Third World kleptocrats. I wonder if the Sudan already has this money earmarked for for "cleansing the carbon signatures" of various ethnic groups in Darfur? I'm sure the money will be used for hundreds of "moving windmills." IE Mi-24 Hind Helicopter Gunships. The new Sudanese "Miniguns for the Earth" program.
3. Disappear into "The President for Life's Special Governmental Fund" located in a Swiss Bank. I mean what Third World dictator wouldn't want a few extra billion to reduce his countries carbon footprint by buying a Swiss Chalet instead of yet another massive palace? Well most dictators will probably buy both so luckily we we are giving them enough money so that they can reach those goals. You no longer need oil wealth to raise giant statues of yourself anymore. The UN "climate change" reparations will do that for you.
