About 40 world leaders plan to go to Copenhagen next month to improve the chances of clinching a U.N. climate deal, the United Nations said on Friday as preparatory talks ended with scant progress.

Already world leaders are trying to find ways to get out of a climate deal, All the leaders need to go, and to stay there until a positive agreement is reached.

A "positive" agreement would be for them to drop the nonsense. How many times and in how many ways does it have to be demonstrated that CO2 can't cause climate to change. Even Gore gets it now. He just pretends that it doesn't matter...that somehow it will be good for out "spirituality" to starve and freeze in the dark.

"This is big. Al Gore is now saying carbon dioxide isn’t actually to blame for most of the warming we saw until 2001:

Gore explored new studies - published only last week - that show methane and black carbon or soot had a far greater impact on global warming than previously thought. Carbon dioxide – while the focus of the politics of climate change – produces around 40% of the actual warming. Gore acknowledged to Newsweek that the findings could complicate efforts to build a political consensus around the need to limit carbon emissions.

Which suggests not only that was Gore wrong to claim the science was “settled”, but that the hugely expensive schemes to “stop” warming by slashing carbon dixoide emissions will be less than half as effective as claimed."

"How many times and in how many ways does it have to be demonstrated that CO2 can't cause climate to change."

Just once, by showing experimental data that it is not a greenhouse gas. So WHERE IS IT?

"Even Gore gets it now."

Oh, really? Sounds like quite a bit of misrepresentation. Even in his book An Inconvinent Truth, Gore said there were other greenhouse gases besides CO2. And he mentioned methane as one of them.
