Poor may need to curb CO2 by 15 percent: U.N. | Reuters

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Developing nations may need to slow projected growth in their carbon emissions by 15 percent by 2020 if rich countries agree to reduce theirs by up to 40 percent for a new global deal, a top U.N. official said on Thursday.

As you can see, only the ignorant, briefly brainwashed left-wing people support the AGW orthodoxy and its plans for new kinds of regulation.

Whether that supports a tantrum by a fully grown man — if an environmental-studies teacher — is in the eye of the beholder.* His hasty retreat surely had more to do with a bristling Richard Lindzen sitting just over his shoulder than a fear that I would elaborate in response. In no indirect terms, Dr. Lindzen strode to the mike to express his impression of such behavior, likely not commonly experienced by a chaired Ivy League professor renowned in his field. But on the other hand, maybe such acting out is why he dropped out of the IPCC.
