climate change copenhagen summit - Is a binding agreement possible?

I doubt it. The problem is, at least as far as the U.S. concerned, is many of these treaties that are developed at various summits for various things, is that most of them usualy contain things that blatently violate either our national consitution or laws and many of our state's individual constitutions and laws. In order for a treaty to become valid in the U.S. it must not only be signed by the president, but also aproved of by congress. Than GOD we have such a filter in place, I shudder to think about what we would have gotten ourselves in to over time if such safe guards weren't in place.

I doubt binding agreement on the original document that contain provision; quota and measures of success as wanted by UN climate scientist study group is going to take place; it is most likely some sorts of compromise and less tenable goal that cater to various interest groups will be reached among participating nations especially the top few big polluters. It is no doubt the forces of darkness among these big polluters are strong and able to derail much of the goal of UN by rubbing against each other sores and make many fools into believing this new climate treaty talk is about rich and poor nations instead of polluting and no polluting nations. It is quite predictable by just hearing and reading the talks of some of these world leaders before the arrival of Copenhagen's negotiation to know how this summit is going to end and the direction it is moving into. :-) :-) ;-)
