Hopenhagen Hopes to Set its Global Agenda

Waning U.S. Influence

The US House of Representatives passed its first incarnation of a climate bill this past June but it is unlikely that this will make it to the Senate for a serious debate any time soon. One U.S. Official who asked not to be named so as to speak more freely, said that the focus on Copenhagen has been set back by the current domestic debate dominating Capitol Hill- Healthcare Reform.

With the lowest approval rating at home of any US President at this juncture in his young tenure and with his recent defeat in getting the 2016 Summer Olympics to his home-town Chicago, Obama will likely want to return to Washington with some version of a victory.


Supporters of a Climate Change Treaty say Obama is determined to sign something despite recent set-back in the run up to COP 15. Mainstream media pundits still contend that the US is the worlds economic superpower and that an American signature to the Copenhagen Treaty will position the country to lead the world in Climate Change policy. Some might say that this overlooks the reality of the worlds economic league table where the USs economic clout is not what it used to be. With the current continual slide of the once mighty US dollar, the debt on its balance sheet, and the prolonged recession being forecast across the board, China and the Eurozone are each set to surpass the US in total GDP output and productivity. Still, news agencies like AFP claim in their opening news release from Copenhagen, US President Barack Obama is hoping to push through a new deal after the United States — the worlds biggest economy — rejected Kyoto under his predecessor, George W. Bush. Before it takes any action and makes a firm commitment, the US Congress will likely expect to see other major players but China, India and Brazil make real commitments but the reality is that those emerging economies are likely to deliver little beyond promises.

More Climate Theatre

Apocalyptic scientific projections countered by lofty emissions targets and their treaties, most of which are not even remotely anchored in reality, is fast coming to be known as Climate Theatre. The stage is set for even more celebrity drama, as delegates and observers anticipates the arrival on Friday of President Barrack Obama, who plans to announce an 85% emissions cut by 2050 pushing US emissions back to levels not seen since the year 1900. Even the ultimate salesman will have trouble selling that one. In short, it will not happen unless the US can manage to wipe out 4/5 of its population. Eugenicists can argue amongst themselves over the logistics of that particular scenario.

Globally, 56 newspapers published an identical editorial telling their leaders to agree on action to limit temperature rises to 2.0 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) or watch climate change ravage our planet. How the political delegates from 192 countries here are planning to control the Earths temperature is yet one of many outrageous scenarios which have become part and parcel of global climate conferences.

With the science behind global warming now under the gun, end game policies like Cap and Trade may soon be dissected in similar fashion, bringing the whole conversation of climate change alarmism out of its current theatre and into a new phase of rigorous public debate.
