DURBAN, South Africa |
DURBAN, South Africa (Reuters) - U.N. climate change talks agreed a pact on Sunday that for the first time would force all the biggest polluters to take action to slow the pace of global warming.
The deal follows years of failed attempts to impose legally-binding, international cuts on emerging giants, such as China and India.

IS there anyone in the UN with the honesty to admit that man made global warming is a scam and the green house gas hoopla is fraudulent? The earth has been a LOT hotter in the past than it is now. The glaciers form and recede repeatedly throughout history. Man doesn’t have a thing to do with it. It’s happened before man came along, and has happened since. Proof of this is the bronze age man found BENEATH an alpine glacier that had receded enough to reveal his body being buried beneath the snow. The glacier had formed over top of him. For those who are less than adequately educated, that means the man was there BEFORE the glacier formed. Here’s the way that time line works for those who still are not getting it. Man dies, glacier forms on top of man, glacier recedes, man’s remains are discovered. Here comes the quiz at the end… Which came first the man or the glacier?
