HaHaHaHaHaHa…BREATHE…A HaHaHaHaHaHa

Financial Times is reporting that the UN has abandoned its “climate change deadline”:

The timetable to reach a global deal to tackle climate change lay in tatters on Wednesday after the UN waived the first deadline of the process laid out at last month’s fractious Copenhagen summit.

Nations agreed then to declare their emissions reduction targets by the end of this month. Developed countries would state their intended cuts by 2020: developing countries would outline how they would curb emissions growth.

But Yvo de Boer, the UN’s senior climate change official, admitted that the deadline had in effect been shelved.

“By [the end of] January, countries will have the opportunity to . . . indicate if they want to be associated with the accord,” he said. “[Governments could] indicate by the deadline, or they can also indicate later.”

Wonder if it has anything to do with how freaking COLD it is outside their window…the whole warming thing being debunked, now, as you know.

Really? How about this:

India, China, Brazil and South Africa, who meet this weekend, are likely to insist on deep cuts from developed nations but offer few concessions of their own.

The result of Tuesday’s Massachusetts senatorial election, which took away Barack Obama’s super-majority in the Senate, is likely to push climate change further down the US agenda. It was the latest in a series of setbacks that have caused efforts to push a cap-and-trade bill through the Senate to grind to a halt, making it harder for the White House to participate meaningfully in global climate negotiations.

Let me translate: Those guys doing the greatest among of harm want to keep doing so, and get paid for it. Those that are ALSO doing harm but have more money to throw at this phantom crisis, now have ZERO public support for doing so. Remedy?

World will survive ’til the checkbook wars get figured out.

Nothing to see here, move along.
