After years of planning, backers of a new climate change treaty see disaster looming early next month in Copenhagen.
The main reason: There's no leadership from two major polluters -- America and China -- to establish tougher limits on harmful greenhouse emissions that are causing global warming.
That could turn the United Nations Climate Change Conference into a public relations disaster for scientists, environmentalists and others pushing for needed changes on how industry pollutes the air.
President Barack Obama, once thought to be a strong supporter of needed limits, has backed away from that position. The obvious reason is his concern about how new requirements on industry could affect the economy.
And China seems determined to press ahead full-speed with its construction of coal plants to power the nation, with those coal plants not nearly as efficient as they could be.
As a sidelight, conservatives have hopped all over some stolen e-mails from scientists, which they say indicate global warming may not be as big a problem as those scientists claim.
All in all, the Copenhagen talks could fail in their original mission, big time.

Dear Yael
You are a tool for the alarmists.
http://bishophill.squarespace.com/blog/2009/11/20/climate-cuttings-33.html
Looks like your buddies are going down. I'd take this opportunity and reevaluate how stupid the AGW theory is and what an idiot you are for believing it.
AGW is dead.
Question
Does Yael really buy this BS, or is he just spouting off to create traffic on the blog? I can't believe a grown man still swallows this bilge. Seriously?
Disaster Averted is what it should say!!
The best part about all of this is the fact that I thought the global warmists would be able to stave off the facts until after I was dead, but instead, I am still alive to laugh heartily at the ones who still believe this junk science that's been proven bogus by computer hackers...
Thank you Wally Winch for your surrogates report
Yael.....Why are truth and reality seemingly so hard to grasp?
What you characterize as a disaster many (if not most) believe to be a prudent "deep breath" pause before we give away, unilaterally, our economic strength.
Not only has the scientific community as a whole begun moderating their "sky is falling" and "let's change the world now" mantras perpetrated and exaggeraated by the Goracle and his minions.....but now we find out that outright fraud and lies were primary components for much of the base line data on which most of the statistial fear mongering is predicated.
Many besides me have been ranting for years to "follow the money" regarding the scientific community and the politics surrounding research grants and AGW research.
I believe that the climate/enviro Nazi's like wally winch will take their appropriately ignominious places in American history......as little, laughable anecdotal footnotes of the absurdity of the fraudulence of the extremists.
The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.
Global Warming Scam
Al Gore admits he lies about Global Warming and the effects of Global Warming.
Al Gore's business "Silver Springs" received $560 million in Global Warming Stimulus Funds from the USA Government. Improper?
The former leader of GreenPeace recently admitted that he lied about Global Warming and the effects of Global Warming.
Obama Science Czar Holdren is involved in the latest e-mail scandal involving the Global Warming Scam.
From the Washington Times on the emails:
Among his e-mails, Mr. Jones talked to Mr. Mann about the "trick of adding in the real temps to each series ... to hide the decline [in temperature]." Mr. Mann admitted that he was party to this conversation and lamely explained to the New York Times that "scientists often used the word 'trick' to refer to a good way to solve a problem 'and not something secret.' " Though the liberal New York newspaper apparently buys this explanation, we have seen no benign explanation that justifies efforts by researchers to skew data on so-called global-warming "to hide the decline."
.
Isn't is surprising that the New York Times would accept their explanation without concern?
.
We (well, not conservatives) have been duped!
Or maybe it's because
people are starting to see how the gw scientists get their funding from sources with a vested interest in saying it's man made. Just like a doctor who runs a study on a new medication paid for by the manufacturer. Or mabey they are beginning to recognize "chicken little".
Intellegent steps to increase efficiancy and recycling is going on right now. The cap and trade and kyoto are designed to hamstring the US and allow other countries to take more from our economy. Just put an ice pack on your bump, take two asprin and go away.
The REAL Disaster YT
is the junk science that big Al and the ecofreaks have tried to pass as fact. Luckily the recently hacked letters show what "scientists" have been doing to hide the real facts.
the big 0, the messiah, the signer of porkulous, to his credit, realizes that trying to pass this hurtful legislation will seal his doom and is backing-off. However, the libs in the Congress don't want to admit the junk science but would rather have more govt. control and will continue to press for passage.
less then 12 months of this insanity, less then 36 months of Jimmy II
Yael is a "polluter"
because he emits CO2.
...two major polluters...
.
"Polluters is not the correct term, Yael, since CO2 is not pollution. "Pollution" is putting something in the environment that contaminates. Breathing is not contamination!
