Where now for Obama's climate change [scam] strategy? - 25 Jan 2010 - BusinessGreen.com
Essentially, everything now rests on the Kerry-Lieberman-Graham proposals and their ability to scrape together 60 bi-partisan votes in the Senate. Experts on Capitol Hill reckon Murkowski's attempts to remove the EPA's right to regulate emissions are likely to fail, but with Obama' Super Majority gone and mid-term elections on the horizon it would be political Kryptonite for him to go over Congress' head and impose regulations.

In short, without US climate change legislation the chances of an international climate change treaty being agreed at the UN's Mexico Summit in December move from slim to negligible.

...
While admitting the Copenhagen conference was a ''fiasco,'' Professor Garnaut was more upbeat about the outcome than many commentators. The commitments by developing countries, including China, represented substantial changes, he said.
Amy Ridenour's National Center Blog: IPCC Breaking Scandals: Where to Get News
News is breaking fast and furiously in the breaking IPCC scandal. We'll have more to say about it shortly, but won't have time for a full roundup of links to news about all the breaking events.  For that, I strongly recommend visits to Climate Depot and Tom Nelson.

Don't go to one; go to both.
