WikiLeaks Cables Reveal How US Manipulated Climate Accord
( If this has been posted in the last couple days, i missed it.
Counter Currents is a good "alternative" source, btw....)


The US diplomatic cables reveal how the US seeks dirt on nations opposed to its approach to tackling global warming; how financial and other aid is used by countries to gain political backing; how distrust, broken promises and creative accounting dog negotiations; and how the US mounted a secret global diplomatic offensive to overwhelm opposition to the controversial "Copenhagen accord", the unofficial document that emerged from the ruins of the Copenhagen climate change summit in 2009.

1. It's be interesting to know Al Gore's take on this.

were rumored then.

4. Thank you, dixiegrrrl. Our 'free press' here has chosen to push the meme that there's nothing...
beyond idle gossip in this recent release. So, no, I had not seen this.

Likewise, I've seen nothing in the MSM regarding the evidence that State knew the Honduran coup was illegal from the get go.
