Integrity of the head of the UN IPCC is called into question.

UN IPCC Head Not Qualified for Post; Has Huge Conflict of Interest Issue.

Although Dr. Pachauri is often presented as a scientist (he was even once described by the BBC as “the world’s top climate scientist”), as a former railway engineer with a PhD in economics he has no qualifications in climate science at all.

What has also almost entirely escaped attention, however, is how Dr. Pachauri has established an astonishing worldwide portfolio of business interests with bodies which have been investing billions of dollars in organizations dependent on the IPCC’s policy recommendations.

These outfits include banks, oil and energy companies and investment funds heavily involved in ‘carbon trading’ and ‘sustainable technologies’, which together make up the fastest-growing commodity market in the world, estimated soon to be worth trillions of dollars a year.

Integrity and U.N. have never went together.

integrity and the cult of AGW have never walked hand in hand either. What Algore calls "consensus" and "settled science" is really a collection of disparate disciplines that have found a cash cow in global warming theology.

COP15 was a failure.

This "accord," as it's being termed, is not quite what the Greens ordered. Before looking closer, we'll consider what Copenhagen was supposed to produce.

A total reorganization of the world's economy based on "sustainable" principles.

A new Green bureaucracy with supranational powers, almost blatantly presented as the template of a world government to oversee all matters of climate and energy.

The promise of hundreds of billions in payoffs to third-world states, most of it at the expense of the American taxpayer.

An open-ended commitment of unlimited international resources and effort for the purpose of overcoming a natural phenomenon that has been occurring and recurring for billions of years.

The subjection of every last human being, both living and yet unborn, to all the above for an undefined and possibly endless period.

Now how much of this did they get?

None of it, really.

What they got was a nonbinding agreement stating that further discussion and negotiation will take place at some time or other.

Teleprompter in chief called this an "unprecedented breakthrough."

Do you know Presidents talk to the country the way men talk to women? They say, "Trust me, go all the way with me, and everything will be all right." And what happens? Nine months later, you're in trouble!

Of course they will hold another meeting in Mexico next year but nothing is going to happen, any binding agreement isn't likely to happen before at least 2015 or 16 and even then the US Congress would have to ratify such a treaty and that isn't going to happen most likely but then why take the chance??

Clinton signed the Kyoto Protocols but never submitted it to congress.

Of course CO2munists have found a way to get around the Constitution by having federal agencies such as the EPA issue regulations that are sometimes enforced. (but not usually enforced on the huge international corporations who apply for and usually get exemptions if anyone brings it up.)

I once said to my dad; "Dad, did you know that federal agencies issue an average of 500 new regulations every day?"

He replied; "Yes, but son you don't have to go by those regulations if you don't want to"
