If electricity bills “necessarily skyrocket” this will become more common:
from 1/29/09
Marvin Schur, a 93-year-old man from Bay City, Michigan has died after the electric company limited his electric use due to his failure to pay over $1,000 in past-due payments. Bay City Electric Light & Power installed a power-limiting device on his home on January 13….The autopsy performed on Schur’s body concluded that he had died “a slow, painful death” caused by hypothermia….It was less than 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 Centigrade) in Schur’s home when neighbors found Schur dead on January 17. Virani commented that it was his first time performing an autopsy on a body in which “the person froze to death indoors.”…

Zogby Poll: concern over global warming/climate change still waning in America
“…nearly half of Americans — 49% — say they are only slightly or not at all concerned about climate change, while 35% are somewhat or highly concerned…an increase in those who hold this view compared with 2007, when 39% said they were slightly or not at all concerned about climate change and 48% said they were somewhat or highly concerned.”
Also, issue divided along political lines
“This latest survey shows more than two-thirds of Republicans (68%) and 46% of political independents say they are “not at all concerned” about global climate change and global warming, compared to just 7% of Democrats.”

Update:
In Respect to money transfer to poorer nations, You might want to check my math, but wealth transfer will not work at today’s carbon price:
According to Environment Canada’s Website:
“Every year, Canada prepares a national inventory of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions from sources (eg. fuel combustion, industrial processes) and removals by sinks (e.g. growing plants and trees).”
http://www.ec.gc.ca/pdb/ghg/inventory_report/2006/som-sum_eng.cfm#s1
721 megatonnes or 721 000 000 tonnes of carbon at $0.15 tonne equals roughly $108 150 000 dollars on Tuesday’s carbon market.
Chicago Climate Exchange closed at $0.10 mt CO2
So to buy carbon offset today would cost 72.1 million a drop of 33% since the start of the “Copenhagen Conference.”
The price of carbon is also dropping on the Tianjin Climate Exchange (TCX, China) and the European Climate Exchange (ECX)
Basically you are looking at the carbon market crashing from a market high $7.40 in May of 2008 to $0.10 at today’s open. The value of 1 unit (per metric ton of CO2) is worth 1.3% if you bought in at the market high.
There are “Privately Negotiated Transactions” or under the table deals so it is unclear as to the total value of the market.
The World Bank Carbon Finance Unit ( http://www.carbonfinance.org) is quoted as estimating “that the size of the carbon market was 11 billion USD in 2005, 30 billion USD in 2006, and 64 billion in 2007.” Today that value might only be 832 million USD and falling.

Leadership change at Copenhagen
“…She said the move was procedural. Separately, Hedegaard has been criticised by African nations for favouring rich nations in the negotiations.”
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/LDE5BF0ZY.htm
“With the talks clearly deadlocked, Connie Hedegaard, former Danish climate minister, resigned from the conference presidency to allow her boss, Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen to preside as world leaders from 115 nations streamed into Copenhagen. She was to continue overseeing the closed-door negotiations.”

exactly !
May I suggest (or at least vote for) more articles on good alternative energy, real ideas that are good for the environment, and any topics that help expose the fake enviro-movement for global warming?.
Anything that exposes how much money is actually being wasted on lobbying/ legislature, when it could have been spent on real environmental issues.
Practical energy alternatives? Natural gas as a cleaner alternative? Nuclear energy?
How come we stand back and watch all of this money being spent on legislation, with no real world alternative solutions once we cut those emissions?
Expose the warmers and all of their hand-waving for what it is. I know Anthony drives an electric car. It would be great to hear what things Anthony is actually in to environmentally speaking. Start a new, REAL environmental movement.

The Climate Pool: NASA ends seven-year itch over carbon emissions
The Climate Pool’s Notes
NASA ends seven-year itch over carbon emissions
Today at 2:34am
The US space agency has just released seven years of carbon emissions data that link rapidly accelerated global warming to increased humidity, a move well-timed to quell growing controversy about data connected to global warming.
As world leaders prepared to meet Friday in Copenhagen at the end of two weeks of slow negotiations on climate change, NASA researchers in Pasadena, California, said late Tuesday that the data on carbon dioxide had been ”extensively validated”.
The data was collected by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument on NASA’s Aqua spacecraft. It measures carbon dioxide concentrations 5 to 12 kilometres above Earth’s surface and tracks its movement, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said.
Andrew Dessler, a climate scientist at Texas A&M University, said AIRS observations confirmed climate model predictions that as the climate warms, the atmosphere would become more humid, thus more than doubling the warming effect of increased carbon dioxide.
”The implication of these studies is that, should greenhouse gas emissions continue on their current course of increase, we are virtually certain to see Earth’s climate warm by several degrees Celsius in the next century unless some strong negative feedback mechanism emerges elsewhere in Earth’s climate system,” Dessler said in a NASA statement.
NASA did not say why it chose this particular time to release its seven years of data.
Russ Steele (09:50:56):
For the past 7 years the global climate has not been ‘rapidly accelerating’, it has been flat to cooling. Only NASA/GISS diverges from the direct satellite readings: click
Climate models, when fed all available past weather and climate data [hindcasting], can not predict today’s climate.
Why should anyone believe Dressler when he claims that models are able to predict the climate? The best that can be said is that there was a temporary coincidental correlation, which has broken down beginning around 2003. To say that “we are virtually certain to see Earth’s climate warm by several degrees Celsius in the next century” is flagrant alarmism, based on always inaccurate models that are unable to make accurate predictions.
Dressler speaks like a politician because he is on the public payroll, and he has his AGW marching orders. But like every other alarmist, his purported “evidence” is not empirical evidence at all, but simply computer projections. Computer models can be programmed to show anything.
When NASA provides verifiable, testable and reproducible real world [empirical] evidence based on actual raw data, fully and publicly archived to provide full transparency, they will begin to repair some of their lost credibility. The fact that they still refuse to do so shows that like the CRU crew, they have something to hide.
That a good video to show who’s who in this saga
This could do with a good video to go with it too – just like the original by QUEEN:

Attendees at Copenhagen reveal their true feeling with long applause. And I thought Copenhagen was about saving the world from global warming.
When he (i.e. Hugo Chavez) said the process in Copenhagen was “not democratic, it is not inclusive, but isn’t that the reality of our world, the world is really and imperial dictatorship…down with imperial dictatorships” he got a rousing round of applause.
When he said there was a “silent and terrible ghost in the room” and that ghost was called capitalism, the applause was deafening.
They are the most excited about pulling down America, and replacing ‘capitalism’ with Marxism.
Then back to the foie gras and caviar.

Where is global warming? Purchasing more snow plow blades to deal with global warming?
“After two harsh winters in a row” Spokane city “purchased an additional 11 plow blades in June to place on water and sewer department trucks.”
http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2009/oct/08/rules-clear-plows-path/
&
“To improve the snow removal process, the City (i.e. Spokane) purchased an additional 11 snowplows this year. All plow trucks will have chains for their tires, the de-icer is already purchased and private contractors are already lined up in the event the City needs to call them in to help.”

Well, even when the AGW scare is shown to be a hoax, the CO2 alarmists have the next big scare on deck. See the Yahoo article regarding CO2 caused “acid oceans”. There must be an innate human need to be scared about some catastrophe or another.

First of all , I wouldn’t consider Corporate Owned ‘ Yahoo ‘ as being any kind of legitimate information .
Secondly , your comment ” There must be an innate human need to be scared about some catastrophe or another ” . . . It should be ” There must be an innate Corporate need to make humans scared about some catastrophe or another “
