You read the words spoken by Barack Obama’s official “negotiator” at the “climate talks” and figure out which verb applies:
The head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has rejected suggestions that the United States has adopted too soft a stance on climate change negotiations with China.IPCC Chairman Rajendra Pachauri has told CNN that the U.S. is right to absolve China from setting firm caps for national cuts in carbon emissions.
His comments came after U.S. climate change negotiator Todd Stern was quoted in China Daily as saying, “We don’t expect China to take a national cap at this stage.”
“I feel that’s a very pragmatic view,” Pachauri told CNN. “I don’t think you’d expect any of the emerging markets to take an actual cut or even a commitment to reduce the rate of growth.”
China just told the world ”bite me” on any carbon controls. The US just submitted to that stance.
That is not negotiating. This is committing economic suicide. Welcome to Hopenchange.
