Earth to John Christy: Misleading for free is wrong, too. « Climate Progress
Climate scientists do not “assume” that humans are warming up the planet “from models,” as Christy claimed.

Mirroring similar demonstrations being held worldwide, police estimated that 25,000 gathered in Copenhagen on Saturday to make their voice heard on the Global Day of Action, although event organisers claimed the figure was closer to 100,000.

And much of that increase would be due to the ETS (if it were implemented). Even the Energy Minister is shocked.
American Thinker: The Surprise at Copenhagen
It is only logical that President Obama will sign the Copenhagen Climate Change Treaty if one results from this week's negotiations. His worldview demands it. His past statements and ongoing actions presage it.

Obama believes in the AGW (anthropogenic or man-made global warming) theory. He believes in "economic and social justice" and that logically leads to "climate justice." He may believe that the US owes a "climate debt" to the rest of the world. What better way to lead the charge than to carry the ultimate banner of the radical left -- wealth redistribution -- under the auspices of the "crises of climate change." AGW even has victims: "climate refugees."
Climate Feedback: If this is UN efficiency...
I arrived at COP15 bright and early yesterday morning with the hope of getting registration out of the way fairly swiftly so that I could get on with more pressing matters. No such luck. Instead, I spent nine hours witnessing an organizational disaster of collosal proportions. Having accredited three times the number of attendees for COP15 than the Bella Centre could handle, organizers at the UN decided - well - to ignore the problem. The upshot was that hundreds were left waiting in the freezing cold for hours while UN officials deliberated over whether to let those who were already officially accredited into the conference, or not.

According to one source, Lord Nicholas Stern was also outside at one point, unable to gain access.

Outside in the cold, people joked that if this is representative of UN
efficiency, it’s no wonder we don’t yet have a deal on climate change.
At one point in the afternoon as we waited for further announcements,
several members of the African delegation walked out
of the Copenhagen meeting, owing to a perceived lack of progress. I got
in after seven hours outside, after which I queued for a further two
hours inside (and that was with a fast-tracking system for press once
inside).
