Copenhagen Fiasco

E-mail to Congress:

EIN New says, "Copenhagen Summit Urged to Take Climate Change Action. Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen has described the UN climate summit in Copenhagen as an "opportunity the world cannot afford to miss". Opening the two-week conference in the Danish capital, he told delegates from 192 countries a "strong and ambitious climate change agreement" was needed. About 100 leaders are to attend the meeting, which aims to reach agreement on supplanting the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The UN says an unprecedented number of countries have promised emissions cuts. (bbc.co.uk)".

Lars Rasmussen sounds like a sideshow barker. "Step right up folks and see the greatest sensation you will ever ........ I could afford a quarter for that or even a dollar, but billions of dollars?.

It doesn't say how many unprecedented number of countries have promised emission cuts or what those emission cuts will be. The most significant aspect is will they cut anything if you don't put up the money? They previously said the cash would have to be contributed first by the US, before they would sign on.
