Obama To Copenhagen For Climate Talks (BREAKING)
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009Make sure you read the entire intro to this news post, and then do some research about what is being said about copenhagen ,not only from those termed wack jobs but from the President of the EU as well as others. Somehow its ok for a world puppet leader to declare global governance but condemnatory when we say the same thing because were smart enough to realize that its bad for mankind. I realize I can be harsh about this but what would you prefer; Harsh words or harsher realities? When you swat a child on the ass or an animal for that matter, you wake them up to the err of what they are doing. None are exempt from that model.
I want to be very clear , with the emails that were exposed, if our elected officials and military allow the signing of that document , they are officially enemies of the constitution and traitors to american sovereignty. i dont say this lightly, the emails exposed what lord monkton and alex jones as well as 30k scientists have been saying all along’; global warming is a scam of epic proportions and the copenhagen treaty as admitted by the current president of the eu is the dawning of the first year of global governance.
I dont know about the average american, but I think id rather die battling the one world order than allow my freedoms to be usurped by a couple of greedy bastards who control banking and commerce. In my honest opinion if you think global governance is good youre a fool and dont deserve to live a decent life,
beause youd sacrifice liberty for security and in the end be deprived of both. his reign will be 42 months and then americans will start the war with this institution.

WASHINGTON — A White House official says President Barack Obama will travel to Copenhagen next month for a global climate conference.
The official says the president will be in Copenhagen on Dec. 9 before heading to Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize. Obama’s attendance had been in question until now.
At least 65 world leaders will attend and seek to lay out the framework for a new global warming treaty. Obama has said the goal at the Copenhagen meeting should be an agreement that has “immediate operational effect,” not just a political declaration. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the formal announcement has not been made.
Under pressure from other nations as one of the world’s largest greenhouse-gas polluters, the Obama administration said the United States plans to present a target for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in Copenhagen.
The development came as the European Union urged the United States and China to deliver greenhouse gas emissions targets at the long-anticipated summit, saying their delays were hindering global efforts to curb climate change.
For nearly a year the Obama administration has indicated it would eventually come up with specific targets for quick reductions in pollution that causes global warming, as part of international negotiations. Those targets will soon be made public, officials said.
A senior administration official, briefing reporters only on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the administration’s thinking, said that all countries, including the U.S., “will need to put their emissions targets on the table.”
The Obama administration has resisted talking specific numbers without the backing of Congress, which is not expected to pass climate legislation until next year at the soonest. The official would not offer details about the U.S. targets but said any U.S. goal will reflect the unfinished state of legislation on Capitol Hill and would not seek to get ahead of it.

A House-passed bill would slash heat-trapping pollution by 17 percent from 2005 levels by 2020. A Senate bill seeks a 20 percent reduction over the next decade, but that number is likely to come down to win the votes of moderate Democrats.
The United States has historically been the world’s largest greenhouse gas-polluter until China zoomed ahead in 2006.
Two weeks before the U.N.-sponsored conference, the world’s two biggest polluters have not put any firm bids, or proposals, on the table.
“Without a bid from the U.S. or China, only half of emissions are covered,” Sweden’s environment minister, Andreas Carlgren, said after he led talks with other EU nations. He said an agreement was “totally dependent” on both countries promising cuts.
Chinese President Hu Jintao said last week that nations would each do what they were able — referring to China’s view that developing nations should not be required to make cuts. China has promised to curb emissions but has not said by how much.
Carlgren said any agreement also had to include pledges from developing countries — especially major economies such as China — to curb emissions.
World leaders are no longer expected to reach a legally binding agreement in Copenhagen, and are aiming instead for a political deal that includes commitments on reducing emissions and financing for developing countries to deal with climate change.
The EU’s environment commissioner, Stavros Dimas, said nations still had a lot of work to do in Copenhagen because they have to set new emission targets and agree on other actions to curb global warming — such as how they plan to prevent widespread deforestation.
He said the talks should also set a timetable for 2010 meetings to work toward a full, binding global treaty.
A panel of U.N. scientists has recommended that developed countries cut between 25 percent and 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 to avoid a catastrophic rise in sea levels, harsher storms and droughts, and climate disruptions.
The EU aims for deeper cuts than most other industrialized nations — pledging to move from a 20 percent cut below 1990 levels to 30 percent if others follow suit. By 2050, it wants to eliminate most emissions, with a target of up to 95 percent.
The U.S. is considering a far lower cut — 17 percent from 2005 levels or about 3.5 percent from 1990. Japan has promised a 25 percent reduction from 1990 levels. Per head, Americans account for twice the emissions compared to Europeans and Japanese.
While the EU sees itself as a trailblazer, it has delayed promising cash to poorer nations to help them tackle global warming. EU leaders have pledged to pay their “fair share” into an annual global fund but gave no amount.
They estimated that $148 billion a year is needed and that half should come from governments. The EU’s executive suggested that the 27 EU governments should give up to $22 billion a year from 2013 to 2020.
