Approaching the climax of the Copenhagen conference, I offer you this pictures from a Spiegel article and slideshow questioning U.S. resolve on climate change.

The take-away is that burning oil, and consumption in general, is simply the American way.

    stunningly unabashed in its vulgarity. the photo as well.
    to round off his aholeocity, lieberman has been working hard to fock this up too:

    Sen. Joe Lieberman alienated a lot of Democrats last year when he campaigned for John McCain and dismissed Barack Obama as a “talker” rather than a leader.
    He may be on the verge of doing it again.
    In an effort to resuscitate some version of the House climate change bill in the Senate, the Connecticut independent is trying to get Republicans and moderate Democrats on board by adding money for coal power and nuclear plants — changes that would infuriate many of the bill’s liberal supporters.

    the same man railing against the cost of healthcare bill – despite the cbo demonstrating that previous proposals with a public option would reduce the deficit – wants to throw money at polluters.
