All countries seem to agree that their government should impose carbon caps, but no binding agreement has come out of the conference. The more-developed nations are still supposedly going to create a 100 billion dollar fund for the poorer countries to combat global warming.

NEWS!!!… Just in!…
President Chavez unloading 20,000 Caps with CARBON embroidered on the front.
Full story at 11.
Lets see, he shows up at the last minute to speak on behalf of the US for the Olympics and fails. Flys over to speak on behalf of the US on the issue of “global warming” and fails.
Seems to be a pattern… He’s looking more and more like GWB…
All countries agree that OTHER governments should impose carbon caps.
I can’t stand it any longer. I just can’t. SHUT UP!
Al Gore, Obama and all the other climate change con men just can’t get a break. Now the Russians’ are pulling the rug out from under their feet . “The Russians confirm that UK climate scientists manipulated data to exaggerate global warming”.
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100020126/climategate-goes-serial-now-the-russians-confirm-that-uk-climate-scientists-manipulated-data-to-exaggerate-global-warming/
Look! I showed up. I gave a speech. It’s all I’ve ever done. It used to work, but I guess that’s over.
“All countries seem to agree that their government should impose carbon caps”
– really? when did this happen?
Did you catch the shots of him getting off the plane over there? It was blowing snow, and he was brushing it off as he headed from the plane to the warming conference. This will take a little media spin…
(but boy, I wouldn’t want to be the spinner caught in that kind of breeze!).
Another bullet dodged.
Unfortunately, Obama and his EPA has reloaded with dumdums and is ready to shoot more rounds into American business.
This result is proof there exists God, who gently guides us from doing the utterly stupid and destructive despite the consensus of our collective leaders.
LOL… #11 just may have a point! (and this comment is coming from an agnostic)
As for Mr. O -he didn’t believe a word he said. His facial language was squirming like a worm on the wrong side of a hook. Though I think his favorite part was when he said “litigation” -as the only solution to “climate change” any lawyer (or Pol) will ever have is to sue the pants off of anyone who does not comply.
******
We should ALL send thank you cards to Russia for striking huge blows against the bankster/climate/global gov cabal/cartels by leaking all the data and dropping tons of
snow recently where ever a climate scam was gathering.
Russia has been covertly helping us since the 80’s in fighting the cabal that has taken over our government.. it’s all in hidden plain sight.
******
Learn to read mainly 16km Water Vapour satellite data combined with magnetosphere animations and LASCO2 and LASCO3 solar satellite data and you will be able to tell whenever someone is using ionospheric heaters to manipulate the weather.
(look for dark-red, almost black “couds” in 16km.
–for a real treat: try and find archival 16km IR3 data of the recent hurricane bill. you will see this storm obviously “steered” to the mid-atlantic which was used to both, send a message then cover a naval Op that was going underneath it.
There are even some at the data centers who will flip/insert radar data from blatant manipulations a week or month prior into the daily loops to shove it in your face if your too stupid figure it out yourself.
(the solar/magnetic data correlation is too complex to describe and requires prior knowledge of “the baseline” to instruct here.)
There are people all over government data leaking all sorts of obvious stuff since about March 2009 into public data.
There must be a huge storm brewing behind the scenes in government..
Esp pay attention to the feeds on this sat-data site.
If you have a knack for spotting subtle patterns it will be very easy.

That was fun. Let’s do this again some time.
Fantastic news! Better Xmas present than I dared to hope for!
There’s the truth. And there’s what the evening news is only willing to report. And I’m certain that this little tidbit, they WON’T be telling us about. Just like the Tv news didn’t say a thing about the secret treaty between the US, UK, and Demark, that got the other nations hot. Instead the “news” merely said that the 3rd world nations walked out, without saying why. The news media industry has the same financial incentives to keep all the facts from getting out. They’ve only mentioned Climategate, after practically everyone had heard of it on the internet. So it would have looked odd if they hadn’t. But they still didn’t bother to report in detail. Basically dismissing it as nonsense. And hoping it would go away.
One of my area’s Tv weather forecaster is retiring, now. It could be for health reasons. Can’t say for sure. But perhaps he was having a problem keeping his AGW opinions to himself. And so the Tv station owner offered him a nice retirement package, if he left now. I can’t recall the last time anybody in Tv weather formally retired. And the recent “changing of the guard” at ABC-Tv, seems rather oddly timed.
Charles Gibson isn’t as old as Cronkite was, when he retired.
And another female moving to the network anchor spot? First CBS’s Couric. And not ABC’s Sawyer. Seems like the networks are trying to get us use to the idea of a woman leader in the White House, for 2012. By femming up the evening news. They REALLY want Hillary in there, don’t they. And I’m thinking Oprah’s retirement could be a move to get the VP spot, with her. If not for 2012, then in 2016. Maybe O. will run for Gov. of Ill. first. It nearly worked for Palin.
The only thing that will happen is that the Major polluters will ship their Manufacturing and production to SMALLER countries..
Just as the USA, Europe, and others already have.
Whats left to CUT?? Cars? HUMANS?? CATTLE FARTS??
So now all we have to do is wait and see what really happens. According to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, WG I, Chapter 10, Table 10.8, 450 PPM will “most likely” raise global temperatures 2.1 degrees from pre-industrial levels. The current increase is considered to be .74° C. So you might say AHA! Well catch them at their own game. Not so fast. They are not so sure of themselves as you might think. We are led to believe that CO2 has an indisputable cause and effect, so damning that 2000-10000 scientists (there is no way of proving the numbers that float around) have a consensus that man made CO2 is the sole cause of earth warming.
So when I look at the chart I wonder…. WHY is there such a huge range in those expected results? We are currently up 80 PPM which gave us .74°C. Apparently another 70 PPM (450 PPM total) will raise temps another 1.36°C but they cover themselves by saying that there is a greater than 66% chance the “range” will be
+.30°C to +2.36°C from todays global average temperature. So we can only assume that, at less than 66% chance, nothing will happen (way less than .3° C change or more than 2.36°C)
So can we say AHA? Nope they’ve covered themselves for every eventuality…. from 0 increase to infinity.

#6 Thank you a lot. There is nothing like looking at real data and the real data says the Brits cooked the books. Even just running the numbers including that from the heat island city stations shows they cooked the books by over a quarter.
If you excluded those urban stations because the data from them is known to be artificially high and should not be used for climate research, it would be even worse.
#12 If these bleeps could control the weather we’d be having major weather disasters all over the place.
Gotta love it.
