Here it is, the "20-20-20" climate deal put together by all those concerned with that evil menace global warming. And, as usual,
no one is pleased with the agreement except those that brought it together...politicians.
"It is quite historic what has happened here," French President Nicolas Sarkozy told a press conference at the conclusion of a two-day E.U. summit in Brussels.
"No continent has given itself such binding rules that we have adopted with unanimity," added Sarkozy, who chaired the gathering as head of the French E.U. presidency.
The greenies had a different take on the deal...
...Greenpeace, WWF, and other environmental groups denounced the agreement as "a dark day for European climate policy."
"European heads of state and government have reneged on their promises and turned their backs on global efforts to fight climate change," they said in a joint statement.
They accused the German, Italian, and Polish leaders plus Sarkozy of choosing "private profits of polluting industry over the will of European citizens, the future of their children and the plight of millions of people around the world."
The green groups called on the European Parliament, which must also approve the deal, to "amend the worst parts."
Just wait until Obama gets his turn! An administration that sees climate change as one of the top issues it wants to address in it's first 100 days. A congress controlled by the likes of Nancy Pelosi, and the installation of a cap and trade program that even Senator McCain would support, we will have a climate trifecta in place that will dwarf the cowardly Europeans panzy attempts at greening up.
We, as Americans, will once again show them who is the leader in this world!
God help us!
