Gore: U.S. Obstructing Climate Talks
Dear Santa, for Christmas please get these fuckers out of our White House.

snip~ BALI, Indonesia, Dec. 13 -- As former Vice President Al Gore urged delegates here tonight to "go far, quickly" in reducing greenhouse gas emissions linked to global warming, international negotiators remained at an impasse over how to construct a road map leading to a worldwide climate agreement by the end of 2009.

"My country's been responsible for obstructing the process here in Bali, we know that," he said, to enthusiastic applause from the crowd. "Over the next two years the United States is going to be somewhere where it is not now. You must anticipate that."

1. I wonder who's listening
I hope Stephen Harper at least got the executive summary of this message. We've been accused of obstruction, too, but no one in our delegation in Bali is taking responsibility.

If we're the last ones standing in the way of fixing the mess we made, we'll be pariahs. Canada, a pariah. Excuse me while I go check to see if the sky is blue in this universe.
