As the world waits on the US, a sense of déjà vu in Denmark? : Comments

By Bill McKibben, published 8/12/2009

In Kyoto the world was poised to act on a climate treaty but looked for a clear signal from the US. Once again, in Copenhagen, we are waiting on the US.

Well we know as of this morning that the United States is “prepared’ to declare green-house gases a ‘health hazard’; the necessary gas, CO2 is now a health hazard, which will allow US officials to act against whoever is emitting these gases without reference to the US Senate.

Lunacy at its best.

I made a mistake. It's not just the Senate that has been cut out of the loop: it is Congress. The USA's elected representatives have been cut out altogether.

Even if Congress rejects the nonsense of CO2 being a health hazard, US officials can still take draconian action against emitters of the necessary-to-life gas, CO2.

How's that from the 'Land of the Free'? Another blow to democracy and sovereignty encouraged by Orwellian World Government.

Leigh,

Obama like Rudd is a one termer and both are lame ducks. The Senates in both countries can cause the demise of both leaders. Obama through impreachment and Rudd by cutting supply.

Don't dispair the US founding fathers like ours were much much too clever for these two opportunistic mouthy yobbos/intellectual lightweights.

To All,
What is the time amd the season/ There is no honour left in the world
In the local shoping centre someone stole the baby Jesus from his cot in a chrismas desplay also stolen from a garden in town in another chrismas display where a dozen or so garden ornaments. Jesus went to the cross and defeated the devil for control of the world. IT IS FINISHED.Jesus gave us a new command. Put God first place in your life giving him honour and to love one another. The 10 comandments are locked up in the 2 new commands. The world government will come because the bible tells me so. BUT the timing will be Gods. One of Jesus warnings was to keep short account planing as if you had 1000 years to live and live as if you might die tonight for no one knows the hour or the day only God. Well if they go ahead and set up a world government in Copenhagen it will be a clear indication that it is harvest time and the harvest is almost finished. So which kingdom will you serve in the coming battle which the devil is waging for the heart and soul {mind, will. emotions} of man kind.

Keith,

I would like to thing that Rudd and Obama were one-term wonders, but I don't think voters are that smart.
