Official: Leaders may join Obama at climate summit
By JULIE PACE
, AP
WASHINGTON -An administration official says some world leaders may change their schedules so they can attend an upcoming climate conference the same day as President Barack Obama.
Obama will attend the Copenhagen summit on Dec. 9 before heading to Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize. At least 90 other world leaders will also attend the conference, though most are expected to arrive the following week.
Obama will personally commit the U.S. to a goal of substantially cutting greenhouse gases. He will insist America is ready to tackle global warming despite resistance in Congress over higher costs for businesses and homeowners.
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because final decisions on the leaders' schedules have not been made.

Gee the hacked CRU e-mails prove the CRU covered up global cooling data (scientists have no clue why the earth is now cooling and not warming like these bone-heads original predicted), gee maybe what I breathe out is not a pollutant after all, gee maybe God- did not -after all -create man with a natural desire to improve his living conditions while assuring his own destruction, gee maybe this whole damn thing is a hoax to make Al I invented the internet Gore rich and scam the rest of us. And maybe the enviro-marxists--who don't know **** from shinola or how to create anything-just want to use this scam to control all of us. After all-many of the enviro-maxists-did cut their teeth in the former Communist Party! Dumb-ass -gullible Americans! Proof--that a whole lot of suckers are born every day!

It's all about control of our lives and a new tax for politicians to spend to buy votes. Scam and corruption. I know that God will bring justice. Just ******* were in this world and not the next.

Obama is a joke! He bends over and takes a bow at world leaders. Tell me, have you ever seen a world leader take a bow for Obama? Ofcourse not!
