Brand New Climate Leaks – Copenhagen Summit now in disarray
Developing countries react furiously to leaked draft agreement that would hand more power to rich nations, sideline the UN’s negotiating role and abandon the Kyoto protocol.
Guardian
The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents that show world leaders will next week be asked to sign an agreement that hands more power to rich countries and sidelines the UN’s role in all future climate change negotiations.
The document also sets unequal limits on per capita carbon emissions for developed and developing countries.
The Danish text, a secret draft agreement worked on by a group of individuals known as “the circle of commitment” – but understood to include the UK, US and Denmark – has only been shown to a handful of countries since it was finalised this week.
The agreement, leaked to the Guardian, is a departure from the Kyoto protocol’s principle that rich nations, which have emitted the bulk of the CO2, should take on firm and binding commitments to reduce greenhouse gases, while poorer nations were not compelled to act. The draft hands effective control of climate change finance to the World Bank; would abandon the Kyoto protocol – the only legally binding treaty that the world has on emissions reductions; and would make any money to help poor countries adapt to climate change dependent on them taking a range of actions.
The document was described last night by one senior diplomat as “a very dangerous document for developing countries. It is a fundamental reworking of the UN balance of obligations. It is to be superimposed without discussion on the talks”.
It effectively is the end of the UN process," said one diplomat, who asked to remain nameless.

Now my question is, this is what the "rich" nations will do to the "developing" nations, not what makes anybody think Obama and the rest of the lot care about the poor and middle class. This leak and document is so telling on so many levels.
It also sounds like there are forces actively working against the New Age Church of Climatology Cabal.
1619 CET: Something of a buzz going around the centre now, as the Guardian's estimable environment editor John Vidal reveals the so-called "Danish text".
It's a document drawn up by the Danish hosts and distributed around a select group of 40 countries last week, apparently as their preferred basis for a political outcome here.
The whole exercise has the potential to disrupt things hugely as - according to John Vidal's analysis - it removes lots of power from the UN climate convention and legitimises a long-term inequality between developed and developing countries.
Developing countries have already found plenty in it to hate.
I'll file a news story at some point once various radio commitments are out of the way.
In the meantime, the Guardian has posted the text here.
Sounds like that translates to the "Builderburgs"
Circle of Commitment

But the "rich" nations aren't really "doing" anything to (or for) such "developing" nations as China , India (both of which can send rockets to the moon), Indonesia and Malaysia, all of which are directly responsible for local destruction of the environment and its consequences.
The "IndoChina Haze," melting Tibetan and Himalayan glaciers, and the poisoning of major rivers and marine environments are 100% attributable to the very same nations whining about being "left out."
Aren't they the same ones who, this Spring and Summer, defied the talks preliminary to Copenhagen, and refused to adopt the more-stringent measures being proposed at the time?
It seems to me that when it's time to "walk the walk," no one is ready to commit to junk science as the basis for self-destruction. If everyone doesn't join the suicide pact, it is only the timid faithful who end up dead (see: Jonestown).
It's about time people woke up from the dream.

However, they wouldn't be pumping out so much pollution in the first place if the western nations hadn't been so quick to outsource so much manufacturing to them in the first place. Their rapid growth and development, and subsequent pollution levels is a direct result of western corporate greed and the mighty dollar craving. Cheap labour and thus cheap production costs led much of this outsourcing, whilst western factories closed, workers were laid off and the economy suffered.
Bring back a lot of those manufacturing jobs to our own shores. This will create jobs again for many of those who lost jobs when the corporations outsourced abroad, and also help the economy. Ok, the corporate bottom line may suffer, but long term it's a winner for all, just not a get rich quick short term gain for bankers and the board room boys.

If CO2 is directly responsible for climate change, it doesn't take a genius to work out that there are too many buildings and too many people.... too many people trying to live on a small Island will create too much CO2 and too many problems.... too many people living on a big Island (a developing Island i might add) will contribute even more CO2 with all the erecting buildings.... so, what does this sequence tell you?

Is there anyone who has a copy of this document, that they can post for download, or know where one can download it with out having to be a member of some site? It might be wise that a couple of copies be had, incase they are taken off of the different websites!

And I thought Copenhagen would be a waste of time.
I hope Obama or the Nobel committee have the sense to give the Danish author the peace prize for this courageous attempt to steal independence from the jaws of NWO.
