Last week’s diplomatic trip to China, the bi-partisan congressional delegation led by the U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said that the government of China was very attentive to what the delegation had to say on the environmental issue and that they were eager to find common ground policies with the United States to resolve the climate change crisis, Pelosi said
“On our way to China, we visited Alaska. And in our own country, we saw the impact of climate change and of the global warming crisis. We saw that the polar cap is melting, the thermal control of the planet is affected... It is urgent to meet the issue of global warming crisis,” said Pelosi today at a press conference in the Capitol.
Pelosi pointed out that the Chinese have observed the same kind of effect in their own country with the melting of the glacier in Himalaya which made the finding of solutions more urgent between the two country.
The focus of the trip was “on climate change and what we can do between our two countries to help reach some agreement that will help serve us all well in the multilateral decision that will be made” in the United Nations - Climate Change Conference held in Copenhagen from December 7-18, Pelosi said.
The passing on May 21 by the Energy and Commerce Committee of the American Clean Energy and Security Act had equipped the U.S. delegation “with the assurance to the Chinese that action will be taken by the Congress of the United States on this subject” and that a significant movement is already underway said Pelosi.
Another issue that was dealt by the U.S. delegation was human rights and the twentieth anniversary’s of the Tiananmen Square protest. The memory of this event was raised by a great majority of Chinese during the trip said Pelosi.
The delegation delivered a letter to the President of the People’s Republic of China, Hu Jintao, and the Chinese government “for the release of prisoners of conscience in accordance with the principles of the Chinese constitution,” said Pelosi.
Pelosi recalled how, 18 years ago, she held a banner “in memory of those who were so brave and courageous” during the Tiananmen Square protest, and now as Speaker of the House, she was able to discuss directly to the President of China and “express to him the concern in Congress on a bi-partisan basis of concern for human rights in China and Tibet.”
On the issue of North Korea, the delegation has worked with the Chinese government to “help bring North Korea back to the six-party talks. In light of the tests that happened while” the delegation was in China, “it came even more urgent for them to exercise their good offices... and to get the six-party talk moving again,” said Pelosi.

OMG! Don't you remember Madam Speaker? It's now global cooling. Just like 40yrs. ago when we were forced to give up our freon. We were damaging the ozone. We had a hole in the atmosphere that was growing minute by minute. Of course, DuPont's patent on Freon expired and in the 70's they had a new coolant called R-134a ready to go. What to do? I know, get the newspapers, politicians, even celebrates to tell everyone how damaging Freon is to the atmosphere.
For the new century, let's just say, we remember. Go tell Al Gore to give speeches on something else. I'm sure he can make his standard $175,000/lecture. I am also sure that the newest product will make you and he millions as well.

Using our money, Pelosi goes to China not to talk about human rights, but to promote the climate change hoax! The Chinese will say whatever needed to convince us to swallow cap and trade, which will ensure we are even less able to compete with them, so our remaining companies are forced to close or move to China!
The Chinese, on the other hand, will continue producing several times the CO2 we are forced not to produce. It seems the Chinese are not "dumbed down" enough to believe that humans can change the earth's climate.
