#2 "Senator John Kerry has indicated that even though he does not think it will be feasible for the U.S. to adopt a domestic policy package in a year's time, he does believe it's possible for the United States to contribute to an international agreement in Copenhagen," Boer said.

So it sounds like even Jaaaawn thinks it's bullshit. But I suppose ya gotta put on a show. And it makes him look like a "statesman"...

#3 Ah, yes. "Leadership"...

UN climate talks to create 13,000 tonnes of carbon

Staging a global forum on climate change is a dilemma, as it adds to the very problem it is trying to solve.

Around 13,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) will be added to the Earth's greenhouse effect from the December 1-12 meeting of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the UNFCCC said.

That estimate is based on a turnout of 8,000 people, but as of Sunday 10,657 people had registered for the talks.
