CNSNews.com - Inhofe: It’s ‘Dishonest’ for Obama to Attend Global Warming Summit and Say America Will Cap Carbon Emissions: "(Update: The White House now says President Obama will attend the U.N. climate change conference on Dec. 18, the final day, when most other heads of state are expected to show up.)

(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, ranking Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, says it is “dishonest” for President Barack Obama to announce at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen that the United States will cap its carbon emissions because legislation to do so has no chance of passing in Congress.

The White House announced on November 26 that Obama will personally attend the climate summit on December 9 (the date was later changed to December 18). While he's there, the president will announce that the U.S. intends to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by the year 2020 to 17 percent below what they were in 2005."
