At the weekly Tuesday meeting of the McLean Rotary Club, guest speaker John Theon will lead a discussion on global warming titled, "Is Global Climate Change Man Made?" Theon is a retired NASA atmospheric scientist who recently declared himself a global warming skeptic.de Boer on Copenhagen: Transcript: 03/05/2009
Monica Trauzzi: So, we don't necessarily need to have something signed?
Yvo de Boer: Well, I think we need to get something signed and agreed, but I think it will be very difficult to get every final, small detail of a whole new treaty done.
...
Monica Trauzzi: We'll need 67 votes in the Senate though in order to ratify the next global climate treaty. Looking at the makeup of the Senate right now, that seems like a long shot. It could be very difficult to get those votes. Is President Obama making promises that he can't necessarily keep at this point?
Yvo de Boer: Well, I don't think he's made any promises at this point except that he wants to engage and he wants to work towards the results. But I think the proof of the pudding is in what do we come back with some Copenhagen? Kyoto was rejected mainly for two reasons. It was rejected because it did not involve action on the part of major developing countries and it failed because it was felt that Kyoto would be harmful to the U.S. economy. So I think, for a start, those would be two points of attention in the negotiations as they move forward that would give whatever comes out a much better chance of making it.
