[Chanting "Shame on you, Obama"]: Angry activists gather outside Bella Center to protest Copenhagen accord

Ignoring the bitter cold, several hundred angry activists gathered outside the Bella Center in the middle of the night after news broke that the United States, Brazil, South Africa, India, and China had brokered a non-binding climate deal that they say excluded the interests of smaller countries and lacked necessary ambition in carbon reduction targets.

Wikipedia's climate doctor

All told, Connolley created or rewrote 5,428 unique Wikipedia articles. His control over Wikipedia was greater still, however, through the role he obtained at Wikipedia as a website administrator, which allowed him to act with virtual impunity. When Connolley didn't like the subject of a certain article, he removed it -- more than 500 articles of various descriptions disappeared at his hand. When he disapproved of the arguments that others were making, he often had them barred -- over 2,000 Wikipedia contributors who ran afoul of him found themselves blocked from making further contributions. Acolytes whose writing conformed to Connolley's global warming views, in contrast, were rewarded with Wikipedia's blessings. In these ways, Connolley turned Wikipedia into the missionary wing of the global warming movement.

Republican Skeptics Among the Climate Change Believers - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine

While a lot of activist groups were disappointed, to say the least, about the "non-deal" reached here at the Copenhagen climate change conference, there was at least one group whose hopes that the whole Copenhagen conference would collapse appeared to be fulfilled, a delegation of six Republicans from the U.S. House of Representatives.
...Upton made this bold prediction: “This Waxman-Markey bill would lose by 50 votes if it were up for a vote now. This bill is dead in the water as it is and that’s why it’s DOA in the Senate.”

Prior to the collapse, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) had declared at the Copenhagen conference that getting climate change legislation passed in the U.S. this spring, “can be enormously assisted by what happens here.” Once the non-deal was announced, the Massachusetts senator as a team player was still gamely peddling the same line, saying, "With this in hand, we can work to pass domestic legislation early next year to bring us across the finish line." We'll all find out this spring who is the better political prognosticator, Kerry or Upton. After the diplomatic debacle here in Copenhagen, my bet is on Upton.
