"Brice Lalonde, France's ambassador to the climate change talks said, that while the Copenhagen accord was not ideal, it was not a failure either."
This sounds like echoes of the healthcare bill to me. At the very least, some limits were agreed to at Copenhagen, and I'm hopeful that something more stringent will be put forth in the future.
I know that the whole global warming thing has lost a lot of steam (pun intended), especially along the right wing within the past year (dropping 14 percent overall). People may cite the re-expansion of arctic ice as proof that global warming doesn't exist, ignoring other factors:
"Experts around the world believed the ice was recovering because satellite images showed it expanding. But David Barber says the thick, multi-year frozen sheets crucial to the northern ecosystem have been replaced by thin "rotten" ice that can't support weight..."
Regardless of whether or not it is human-caused, it is prudent to do something about it to ensure our continued existence on this planet. Even if you still don't believe that the icecaps are melting and that this is not a good thing, I think most Americans agree that finding an alternative to our current oil dependence is a good thing.
