Prices Up, Brits Humbled, Bush Spinning Climate Change

The feeling on prices is that after the opening of the Kyoto pact they have risen due to the European Union Commission's tough stance on the Brits attempt to recind their offer.

Cold weather? Maybe.

Bush saying he will discuss climate change, but not Kyoto? Perhaps.

The Brits, for their part are moving the dialogue past this "serious spat" to a new attempt to grab some limelight for Tony Blair saying he was responsible for the Russians joining Kyoto.

My favorite is the UK scientist boffin type, Sir David King's humbling comment regarding the spat: "we want the Commission to understand we made an honest mistake" in calculating emissions figures.
