Obama taken by the word, US to join climate change protocol at Poznan Poland ?
Kyoto 2012: Poznan Poland Dec 1 - 12
The world meets for the Follow-up of the Kyoto protocol, limiting C02 at Poznan. Up to now Germany reached the Kyoto goal to reduce C02 20% 1990 - 2012. Already 2008 Germany achieved 23% CO2 reduction from 1990. The result of the effort a booming Green economy with $100 bn for Germany's Renewable Energy and Cleantech Industry. The Forecast for the next 5 years: $500 bn cleantech 70% export.
So cleantech works Obama
Obama sending probably M. Kerry to represent the US, has to give a strong Yes to his commitment to fight climate change and reduce CO2 greenhouse gases. Any tinkering with the old position, only if China is useless now. America has to go ahead for a Cleantech industrial revolution to restart dead Carbon-car industry.
Still Bush administration but:
If the US not joining the follow up Protocol of Kyoto starting 2012 and forcing China to do the same the planet has definetively gone to hell. Any unilateral US planet repair jobs, like throwing Iron in the Ocean or bomb the Chlorine in the Ozone layer will lead to climate war. The Pentagon bussy to win a war for a world without Oxygen may underestimate the crucial power of 150 nations sending the polluters instead to hell.
Vatikan the smallest state 5000 m² Solar PV
The pope of Rome Ratzinger covers the Roofs of the Vatikan state with solar. He is saying destroying polluting the world is sin. When do we see any Solar for LED lighting the White House, change for millions to see. Last year White house started with first time LED lighting Christmas tree, now get real light 110V LED Solar. People believe in acting people not in papers of good will
Good luck for green change Mr. president B. Obama
Kyoto, qui expire en 2012.
Le contexte a bien changé par rapport aux trois précédentes réunions de cette année, à Bangkok, Bonn et Accra. Si Barack Obama ni aucun membre de son équipe ne seront présents à Poznan, il devrait être beaucoup question du président-élu. Ses positions sur la lutte contre le changement climatique pourraient dynamiser un processus de négociations qui a pâti jusqu'ici de l'hostilité de l'administration Bush envers tout accord international limitant les émissions de GES.

Good piece - I've added the tag 'Environment' so that it shows up in my channel too.

This is good news on the environmental front. The US being the largest contributor of pollution needs to set an example by taking steps towards towards comabting climate change. Hopefully other countries such as China will make similar efforts in the future
