The Man Who Sold The World

So, as widely expected, the Copenhagen conference on climate change ended in complete disaster with no binding deal in place. As with Iraq, the US once again side-stepped the UN and the democratic process. Obama was supposed to give hope to the world, but clearly he is a fraud who has effectively sold the world's environment to the World Bank.
As Environmentalist and activist George Monbiot put it:
"Well, I can hardly express my disappointment with Mr. Obama.....I feel incredibly let down and betrayed. What Obama and the US delegation have done this time round is very similar to what George Bush did over Iraq, which was to bypass the United Nations, to go behind the backs of the majority of nations, and try to create a coalition of the willing. And in doing so, he effectively trashed the talks.
And we all assumed that—those of us who are environmentalists, who have been following this process, assumed that the dreadful US negotiating position was just an opening bid, that the very poor target and very poor timetable offered by the United States was just the bargaining position and that it would open up from there on. But it soon became clear that there was nothing else on the table and that Obama was not going to raise that bid, and that while he was demanding that the rest of the world take action, he was not prepared to take any further action himself."

I love your Blog for informing a lot of people, it’s just sometimes people seem to get themselves tied up in unnecessary knots over something that’s very simple .
