Despite repeated attempts over the past decades to create a plan to curb carbon emissions on a global scale, international efforts to stymie the growing threat of climate change have largely fallen short, Brookings Institution Fellow Joshua Meltzer said during a lecture at UNLV Tuesday night. Treaties like the Kyoto Protocol and international summits like the 2009 climate change conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, have largely failed to address the problem of global warming, Meltzer said, while a carbon cap and trade system in the European Union has had mixed success.

My BS meter is pegged again.
Pure BS. China is building new coal plants by the hundreds, India isn't far behind, South American and African countries are burning forests so fast it creates thermals.
Talk about deniers, when those countries sign on and actually take action, give me a call. In the meantime the UN and Washington should stop trying to reach into my pocket and take all they can grab to redistribute. That's what this is really all about and the purveyors of this theft have admitted it repeatedly.
Puleeeze! "Climate change" has been with the Earth since it's inception and will be until the sun finally burns out. The notion that we can change that is ludicrous. Only swelled-head eggheads, Luddites and leftists would have the bravado to think mankind can alter what occurs naturally in nature. For a country where its politicans cannot even cobble together a federal budget over the past 4 years to think it is clever enough to thwart Mother Nature shows just how prideful it is and, as we all know, "pride can lead to a fall." "Climate change" claptrap is merely a different way for leftists to create a crisis that will necessitate higher taxes, more regulation and increased power for those who want to run every aspect of our lives. A pox on that plan & a pox on those people!

Watched a show last night about the sun and the solar storms. The Myans predicted it. Happened 25000 years ago and seems its happening again.
And you're correct Mr. Fink. They can't pass a budget but yet they think they can control nature.
Ummm ..can any of u commenters discuss how long the earth's been here, how long man has been making fires, when Industrialization began, AND THEN CAN U PLEASEEE try to spell GLOBAL WARMING? it's really not that difficult if u sound it out!
MAN HAS UPSET THE natural balance OF NATURE w his physical (warmth, cooked food) & capitalistic (chopping down massive forests, gasoline & Industrialized emmisions)desires.
NOW, is that REALLY soooo hard TO DIGEST??!
2 more points..brass, didn't ur mother ever tell u that just cos Susie's doing it doesn't mean u can, or, so, if ur friends all want to jump off a bridge u shouldtoo, yeah?
& the Mayans ...weren't they so smart they all ended up killing each other?
Faux news, huh?
