Copenhagen Accord — Is There Anything Beside The Money Grab?

Here are the key "achievements", as listed by the CTV:
Obama's last-minute plan resulted in a three-page document that pledges:
  • US$30 billion over the next three years for developing nations.
  • A goal of pumping US$100 billion each year into the fund by 2020.
  • Aims to limit global warming to a change of 2 degrees Celsius, which is stronger than previous declarations.
Something that the article doesn't mention - those developing nations will only get the money if they agree to open their books to international scrutiny. In other words, all those who kept saying that this gathering in Copenhagen was nothing but a step towards a global climate tax and a global government, were right: The agreement does in fact tax industrialized nations, while setting the stage for another supranational body that will interfere into individual nations' internal affairs under the guise of transparency (at first). As for the environmental goals - considering that global temperatures are actually going down, they might as well have pledged to prevent the CN Tower from getting 2 meters taller.

So, unlike all those radical environmentalists, I'm glad that Canada is no longer taking an active role in sustaining the global warming hysteria. If anything, I'd rather see my nation ignoring those "climate talks" altogether, rather than merely being a backseat driver. Because when you're in the back seat - that means someone else is driving. And, with the eco-crooks still in the driver seat, nobody can promise that we're going to like the place where they take us. I wish our leaders were courageous enough to say an outright no to the Earth-worshipers and their misanthropic beliefs:
Contrary to what you may have heard, the science of “man-made Global Warming” was never settled. Now that these e-mails have exposed the duplicity of that theory’s chief backers, perhaps we can begin trying to understand what, if anything, is really happening with the earth’s climate.
...
The e-mails do prove one thing, however. They make abundantly clear that much of what was presented as objective “scientific research” by the Global Warmers was nothing more than cleverly disguised advocacy for the radical environmentalist, radical anti-people belief that man is slowly destroying his planet.
