Remember before you say this will never happen....this was Obama's answer for global warming at the Copenhagen Summit...
The deal includes a pledge to limit the rise in global temperatures to 2C - seen as the cut-off point for averting catastrophe - and a pledge to spend £67 billion a year on helping poor countries tackle global warming by 2020.
The agreement said they had agreed to 'listing their national actions and commitments, a finance mechanism, to set a mitigation target of two degrees Celsius and to provide information on the implementation of their actions through national communications, with provisions for international consultations and analysis under clearly defined guidelines'.

Now from India for our very own little commie rebel of a president:
New Delhi: The Left may have staged protests during his visit but US President Barack Obama was "glad" to meet an Indian communist leader last evening.
"I am glad to meet an Indian communist. I am told that communists have been part of the (Indian) political mainstream," Obama told CPM Politburo member Sitaram Yechury at the Rashtrapati Bhawan banquet as they were introduced and both shook hands.
