Doha climate talks: US faces dilemma over final text

There has been a historic shift in the UN climate talks in Qatar, with the prospect of rich nations having to compensate poor nations for losses due to climate change.

The US has fiercely opposed the measure - it says the cost could be unlimited.

Say what?

Yep, big dilemma.

If the US vetoes the text, President Barack Obama will be accused of hypocrisy and failure after re-committing himself to tackling climate change since his re-election.

No. No, he won't. Obama won't be accused of anything and even if he is accused of something, somewhere, somehow, it will all conveniently be pushed under a rug somewhere within 48 hours.

Maybe ... I do agree it is hard to find information on his past (even less then a year old).
