How could he know someone would be aiming a camera at him at the exact moment when he starts checking out some woman.

And the look on Sarkozy’s face is priceless.

* Don’t make it harder for American businesses to compete in the world marketplace by adding to their costs.
* Won’t saddle your children and grandchildren with trillions of dollars of debt.
* Should be enacted this year at a pace that lets us do it right.

Unreal:

For the first time, America and the other seven richest economies agreed to the goal of keeping the world’s average temperature from rising more than 2C (3.6F).

They also agreed to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent by 2050 as they strove for a worldwide deal at Copenhagen in December.

The moves were designed to put the squeeze on the world’s developing nations, most of whose leaders will join the G8 for a debate chaired by President Obama today.

You want to see how dedicated Obama is to lowering greenhouse gases? Look and see how much he is pushing nuclear power. It’s nil.

Now look at how the redistribution of wealth factors into the plan.

Also, you have to realize they know the temperatures are already dropping, even while the CO2 emissions keep rising:

It was the 15th coldest June in the 31 years of satellite record keeping since 1979. The first half of the month was extremely cold and even snowy in south Central Canada and the northern United States. In snowed in North Dakota and in California and northern New England in early June. It was also unusually cold in the southwest – well below the normal (often 10-20 degrees) in places like Palm Springs, CA. In general, the desert southwest was unusually mild. Phoenix had 15 straight days with highs below 100F, the first time in June since 1913.

In contrast feeding off the dry soils from two years of La Nina, June, especially the second half was very hot in the southern plains and the heat expanded north and east a bit after mid-month before being suppressed again by months end.

In the northeast, the month was unusually cold, cloudy and wet. In Boston it was 4.7F below normal in a tie for 6th coldest June (with 1982) in 138 years of record keeping, all the other years were before 1916. It was just short of two standard deviations colder then normal. The NWS spot checked the average maximum temp at Boston for the month and it appears this is the second coldest average high temp since 1872. 1903 is the record. A trace or more of rain fell on 22 days of the month. Measurable (0.01 inches or more) occurred on 16 days just short of the record of 18 set in 1942.

At Blue Hill Observatory in Milton, MA, just southwest of Boston, the month of June had between 26 and 27% of the possible bright sunshine. Normal for June is 55% and the gloomiest June in 1903 had just 25% of the possible sunshine. Second place had been June, 1998, with 36%. So, this month has taken over 2nd place, not an enviable distinction for vacationers. So little sunshine and so much cool temperatures that we have heard some reports that swamp maples in parts of Maine showing fall colors!

New York City’s Central Park was also cool, cloudy and wet. The month averaged 3.7F below normal and tied with 1897 as the 8th coldest since 1869 (151 years). It rained in 23 days of the month and ended up as the second wettest June ever falling short of 1927. Recall Joe Romm of Climate Progress had blamed the rains at the US Open on global warming and chuckled the heat waves would make the climate debate in DC all that much more exciting.

Global temperatures have even dropped .74 of a degree since Al Gore’s crockumentary hit the big screens.

So what is this all about? Leveling the economic playing field and global governance. Not my words, but the words of EU Environment Commissioner Margot Wallstroem and then French President Jacques Chirac:

EU Environment Commissioner Margot Wallstroem says Kyoto “is not a simple environmental issue, where you can say scientists are not unanimous. This is about international relations, this is about the economy, about trying to create a level playing field for big businesses throughout the world. You have to understand what is at stake and that is why it is serious,” she declaimed. And French President Jacques Chirac has termed the Kyoto Protocol “the first component of authentic global governance.”

I hope you will excuse me if I take them at their word.

The project will be paid completely with federal funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, according to the Alabama Department of Transportation.

The city will not be required to provide any matching funds for the project.

I am guessing this is one of those “green” jobs the president is always talking about, because it isn’t creating any jobs. The job was already bid by a group Forestry Environmental Services. They said they could do it for $229,514.

Now you know why people bribe politicians to get those government contracts. It isn’t tough to spend money that isn’t yours.

“Recovery.gov 2.0 will use innovative and interactive technologies to help taxpayers see where their dollars are being spent,” James A. Williams, commissioner of GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service, says in a press release announcing the contract awarded to Maryland-based Smartronix Inc. “Armed with easy access to this information, taxpayers can make government more accountable for its decisions.”

The contract calls for spending $9.5 million through January, and as much as $18 million through 2014, according to the GSA press release.

In five years, they are going to spend $18 million to update a website they claim tells the taxpayer see where their dollars are being spent. For $5 million and some change a year, I could go to college, double major in economics and computer programming, hire some people to help me collect and input all the information and still have some loot left over for a Mountain Dew and Crunchy Cheetos celebration party for me and all my Twitter followers (go ahead and follow me now, space is limited).

Un. Be. Lievable.

The RNC thinks it’s a bit over the top also:

I never thought they would forget how to spell the President of the United States’:

In a release touting an agreement between Obama and President Dmitry Medvedev over how to craft a follow-up to the START arms reduction treaty, the White House claimed the document had been signed by one “Barak Obama.”

This administration keeps making Bush look like a homeschool kid at a national spelling bee.

Now it seems that House Democrats want to take that global:

Senior Democrat senators said on Wednesday they would change a provision that imposes carbon taxes on imports following warnings that the clause in the House’s cap-and-trade bill could spark a global trade war.

The House’s bill contained tough provisions to impose carbon tariffs, aimed at protecting American companies’ competitiveness against imports from countries without equivalent carbon emission controls to those in the US.

So who’s fighting to keep the provision out of the Senate bill? John Kerry.

This should end well.
