states is footing the bill, the idea to control the temperature rise across the planet two degrees zellous, 3-point -- celsius, but to bring it down, easier said than done. >> we had one u.k. scientist who said there are hundreds of factors gloverring global climate. for the united nations to pick one factor and then try to tweak at the margins and then come up with some temperature goal, 50 to 100 years in into the future, is akin to scientific nonsense. you can call it modern day witchcraft. we know from the climate gate emisdemeanor this two-degree limit the u.n. has been par arresting was plucked from thin air, unquote, aquoterring to a u.n. scientist. that was revealed in the e-mails released in 2009. so we know that even u.n. scientists don't by this two-degree limit. it's not based on science. it's political goal to get countries to join in so they can
