Tough Line at Copenhagen Conference?

E-mail to Congress:

EIN News says, "In Copenhagen, U.S. Pushes for Emissions Cuts From China, Developing Nations. Two top Obama administration officials arrived Wednesday at the U.N.-sponsored climate talks that opened this week offering both diplomacy and a tough line: The United States is willing to be a full partner in fighting climate change, but the real problem is with China and the developing world. The day began with Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson detailing the many measures President Obama has taken to cut greenhouse gases in the United States, telling a packed audience at the U.S. pavilion in the Bella Center, "We are seeking robust engagement with all of our partners around the world." (washingtonpost.com)".

"Tough line" sounds good, but is it realistic? It's a competitive world and the people who will lead as the top economic nation will be those having the highest energy usage per capita, with the highest emissions of CO2. The US is apparently willing to give up any attempt at economic superiority, by taking the initiative in cutting greenhouse gases (CO2) as described by EPA's Jackson. If I were China, Japan, Russia, or the EU, I would be ecstatic. Here is the US going into the fray with one hand tied behind its back, and we, the other major countries, don't have to do anything, because it's already being done.

Notice that there is also no reference to handouts to so-called "undeveloped countries". Has that need disappeared or is it a foregone conclusion that the US will put itself further into debt to satisfy those countries in their pursuit of a hoax?
