I disliked the speech immensely. The President did not try to sign or put down the layout for any agreement. All of the ideas about what should the countries do to stop Global Warming was for nought. The very idea that this problem should be put off for another year is horrible. If we have waited 200 years and still not come to an agreement how long do they think the Earth can wait. Never before in Human history have we delayed so much based on the principles of energy producers and users. When our President decides to decide on the will of a few energy producers and some very questionable scientific ideals and not the safety of our globe which we do indeed share with other species which did not contribute to this catastrophe. We will be signing their death warrant as well as ours. We are following the truths that few hold self evident and are doing that not on the basis of science but on the basis of the other forces that be. Can anything be done without a trillion dollar price tag in this country. He exclaims that we will raise money for the cause but did money make the Earth? Is Ford or GM more important then the habitat they are destroying? Is an overhaul of the healthcare system that funds nothing obvious, more important then the world. It appears it is. We are not the ones who will suffer immediately. That was taken care of we will find out after the indigenous, and the poor what this can do to us. But by then it will be to late. Already they are cleaning the snow from a snowstorm, probably one of the last we will have. When it rains we adapt but when it snow we put out salt hire people to clean our sidewalks and destroy any remains of winters last gasp. Is cold really so bad?
