"Unprecedented:" Breakthrough Claimed; Non-Binding "Accord" Reached at Cophenhagen
— Ace

"Unprecedented," Obama says of himself. Gee, didn't see that one coming.

President Barack Obama announced Friday a "meaningful and unprecedented breakthrough" on a global effort to curb climate change. But Obama said, "It is going to be very hard, and it's going to take some time" to get to a legally binding treaty.

An accord which is non-binding is also known as "dudes blowing smoke up each other's asses," and also, sometimes, "not an accord," but that doesn't mean this is harmless.

There is no binding part of this deal. That's why China, India, etc., have agreed to it. It doesn't require them to do anything.

Instead, it asks countries that are stupid enough to slit their economic throats to do so, so that India and China and so on can reap the rewards.

Guess which country is foremost among those currently headed by a man stupid enough to do this?

A senior administration official, speaking to ABC News, heralded what he called a "significant breakthrough" at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen this afternoon.

The president faces pressure to salvage an agreement on climate change.
President Barack Obama, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and South African President Jacob Zuma have agreed to a political "accord" that the official said will "provide the foundation for an eventual legally binding treaty."
In the accord, the official said, "nations will list their actions and stand behind them."
World leaders were looking to President Obama to help break a deadlock at the climate conference in Copenhagen, but prospects had looked bleak as White House officials indicated that Chinese officials were refusing to budge on their refusal to allow a transparent verification system, a stance that would have made a deal difficult to achieve.

Now, Obama will take this meaningless piece of paper and claim that by signing his name to it the US is morally obligated to live up its commitments (commitments we haven't actually made, given that there is no treaty, and further, given the Constitution is rather specific on the point of what makes a binding treaty, and it's not just Captain Wonderful's scribbling) and will pressure the Congress -- and crucially, the EPA -- into shooting more bullets into an already bleeding-out economy.

And oh yeah -- as a coblogger noted today, he's also promising a mere $33 billion of your money every year to pay undeveloped countries to plant tries and develop solar power and a bunch of other things they won't do anyway. Since, in case Obama hasn't noticed (and I guess he hasn't), undeveloped countries already take money meant for food and medicine and spend them mostly on tanks and guns and buying off tribes to keep their ruling class in power, and the rest of the money goes into their own stock of CDs and T-bills and, of course, hookers.

[Update PA]
It appears the "warmist in chief" will be greeted with around a foot of global warming as he returns from Bizarrohagen. Scheduled to return tonight, its looking ugly for the east coast, and D.C.is predicted to get a foot or more of paralyzing global warming over the next 36 hours. God just emailed me to say: "I just love tweaking pinheads like this".

Can he do any of this; the money or the agreement, without congressional approval? The executive branch is empowered to enforce laws made by congress not make laws (although that hasn't stopped the Supreme Court). It's not constitutional for him to make any sort of binding agreement.

52 Obama to India: You need to stop polluting the world and sign this.

India: You're global warming is a pack of lies.

Obama: Maybe so but lies many believe. If you don't sign it will look bad for you in the world community.

India: We cannot make a commitment like that.

Obama: No problem I didn't care about you anyway, we'll make it non binding, we'll say you need a little more time to catch up industrially. (To China) Your turn.

China: China laughs at your pathetic fake science. If you expect China to slow its industrialization for your made up problem, you will be very disappointed.

Obama: Common China, I need this to help make the US socialist, more like China, make a single happy one world communist government. You can believe in that right?

China: China will not slow industrialization for your political agenda, no matter how noble it may be. We are here to represent China's best interests not yours.

Obama: But I NEED this thing for legitimacy. OK I'll make it non-binding for you too. So the US will be the only one bound by this.

China: I am afraid we cannot agree. You move could very likely destroy your economy, something that we have invested heavily in. It would be against China's best long term investment interests if you were bound by this agreement.

Obama: No I need this....

China: THEN NO MORE MONEY!

Obama: O-o-o-k we'll make it non binding all around. Can I at least have that just to save face?

China: China agrees to allow you to have this compromise.

Meh. Captain BS has "promised" lots of stuff before. But I doubt he "promised promised". Does his word really mean anything? His words are worth less. In fact, looking at his track record, it probably means there's no chance in hell these buffoons are going to get a single American dollar. More significantly, this was an EPIC FAIL for the alarmists. With the media boycott of skeptic opinions now impossible to ignore (thanks to ClimateGate), more and more people are going to see that AGW is BS. Let's hope ObamaCare suffers the same fate.

102 Since, in case Obama hasn't noticed (and I guess he hasn't), undeveloped countries already take money meant for food and medicine and spend them mostly on tanks and guns and buying off tribes to keep their ruling class in power, and the rest of the money goes into their own stock of CDs and T-bills and, of course, hookers.

Many of those tanks and guns are made in the US. It's the only thing we manufacture anymore. We sure as hell can't compete with the Russian hookers.

This was to be the Grand Finale, ObamAyres and the world "leaders" were to fly in for the photo ops, sign a economic suicide pact to replace Kyoto, shake hands, and fly away. Didn't happen.

There will be no $33 billion per year in Danegeld.
There will be no cap and trade.
ObamAyres might have promised them, but when have his promises ever meant anything? He was only saying "Nice doggie! Nice doggie!" while running for his plane.

You'll see. The "agreement" or "framework", or whatever ObamAyres and his Warmermelon cronies choose to spin it, doesn't even rank as a "hollow victory". They can call it anything they want, but it's still a stunningly brilliant abysmal failure.

Mark this date in history -- the day the Great Global Warming Hoax died. It'll take some time for it to finally rot away, but it's already stinking to high heaven.

116 Veteran Cuban leader Fidel Castro on Friday dismissed US President Barack Obama's trip to UN climate change talks in Copenhagen as a "show," and complained that the world's poor will shoulder the burden of any summit agreement.

"Obama is not ignorant. Like (Al) Gore, he knows the grave danger that threatens everyone, but he vacillates and is weak in the face of a blind and irresponsible oligarchy in that country," Castro wrote in an editorial published December 9.

Obama suggested Friday's agreement among the five key countries would be adopted by the larger summit in its closing hours.

"I am leaving before the final vote," he said. "We feel confident we are moving in the direction of a final accord."

That's our Barry cutting out early.

China's resistance to a verification mechanism had been one of the major sticking points for the U.S. during the two weeks of climate negotiations here.

"We're in this together, and we'll know who is meeting and not meeting the mutual obligations that are set forth," Obama said.

Sure you will.

I don't think the reiteration of "unprecedented" is lazy speech-writing or crude self-promotion. It's a poker tell about just how extreme this guy's worldview is.

He's so far to the left that he doesn't think anything that has come before—even including the excesses of FDR and LBJ—has truly been "progressive." To Obama, the social welfare state, the massive regulatory bodies, the destruction of federalism, the tax regime, and so on, are just initial steps but cannot be considered truly revolutionary as he envisions it. That's scary.

149 Our unprecedented president needs to be un-presidented. 2012 can't come soon enough.

We needn't wait until 2012. Barack Obama has committed the assassinations of people in Pakistan - which is illegal. He could be impeached in 2010 by Republicans if they so choose.

Now, whether Republicans actually really believe we should get rid of Obama ... that is the true question. They act like they want to keep him around despite all the damage he's doing to the country because it's in their interests that he be kept around fucking up the country.

So, I doubt Republicans would impeach him. Tea Party would impeach, I'm guessing ... so they get my vote.

Can we get D.C. to try this next week? I mean, they're clearly better than us, and know lots more about CO2 cutting and they're so far ahead with what they've spent greening federal offices. So lets see an 80% cut next week throughout D.C.
