Addis Abeba — The committee of ten African Heads of States and Government on climate change (CAHOSCC) disclosed that Africa has identified priorities on strategies and institutional mechanisms to make firm the continent's common position on climate change in the run up to the Copenhagen summit next month.
"It is high time that the group of ten, mandated by the African Union Summit of Heads of State and Government to speak on behalf of Africa during the Copenhagen Summit on Climate Change, work out a common position for Africa," Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, who coordinates the committee gathered yesterday for its second meeting, declared.
"We have identified our priorities and put institutional mechanisms ... we have ironed out issues today," Meles told the press after concluding about two and half hours long closed session deliberation of the committee at the AU Headquarters here in Addis Ababa.
Responding a question on how firm and common was the stand of the states and government of the continent, the premier said no one would be left out in talks on the basis of the position and priorities identified adding that the circle of agreements would soon be expanded thus maintaining the continent's solidarity on the issue ahead of the summit.
"We will engage every one and any one on the basis of our positions... we have identified... we will expand the circle of agreements... we will maintain that solidarity." Calling for a fair practical agreement to be arrived at where the continent will strongly push for its interest, Meles retreated that Africa prefers a full pledged treaty agreed in Copenhagen.
"Africa has contributed nothing to the global warming but the continent will be hardest hit by climate change effects as compared to other continents," he told the gathering earlier in the day while opening the meeting.
Backing the Prime Minister, AU Commission chairperson, Jean Ping, on his part expressed his wish for an all inclusive agreement to be arrived at during next months Summit.
"Africa should be given the necessary support in terms of technology and capacity building to overcome the threat of global warming, given that Africa produces less gas but is greatly impacted by the effect of climate change," Ping said.
Last week the premier made it bold that it was unlikely the world was serious about tackling global warming.
"It is highly improbable ... the world is serious about climate change and (will decide) to take effective measures to tackle it," Meles told an economic conference here in Addis last Thursday. "But no one can say such an outcome is completely impossible." Meles, who also represented Africa at G8 and G20 summits of rich nations this year, was firm yesterday saying that indications on the issue were not encouraging, however he urged the heads collaborate to speak with one voice.
"Nice to speak with one voice," he resonance.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, and Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki joined Meles to attend the meeting while the remaining committee member heads of states and government sent their respective ministers.
The CAHOSCC are Algeria, Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mauritius, Mozambique, Nigeria, Malawi, Uganda and South Africa as well as the African Union (AU).
The Committee of ten was established to represent Africa at the up coming Copenhagen World Climate Change Summit (COP15) to be held on 7-18 December.
The United Nations summit in Denmark is said to try to agree on how to counter climate change and come up with a post-Kyoto treaty protocol to curb harmful emissions.
Poor nations want rich countries to cut emissions by 40 percent from 1990 levels by 2020 to avert the worst effects of climate change. But many industrialised nations fear such cuts are out of reach, especially in an economic downturn.

This Global Warming Stuff Is A Complete Hoax . Man has so arrogantly told
God, by inference, that God the Creator didnt Create things quite right. The United
Nations is just another attempt by Satan to build another Tower of Babel .
If you want to know some real truth tune in to broadcasts like Living In Black

Heres a link to articles on the Hoax of Global Warming.

What is this hype of Global warming for ? Its designed to give these phony
scientists ( who actually act like they were taking part in the Creation itself ) and the
organizations they represent control of the worlds natural resources. The GEORGIA
GUIDESTONES is consistent with United Nations goals for the world.
Here is a synopsis of the GEORGIA GUIDESTONES :
[The Agenda Of The Antichrist aka The Georgia Guidestones (GG) ]
10 POINTS LIKE THE 10 HORNS OR RELIGIONS OF THE BEAST
[Revelations 13:1]
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having 7
heads (Kings) and 10 HORNS (Religious Kingdoms), and upon his horns ten crowns, and
upon his heads the name of blasphemy
THE GEORGIA GUIDESTONES
1) MAINTAIN HUMANITY'S POPULATION UNDER 500 MILLION IN
PERPETUAL BALANCE WITH NATURE
2) GUIDE REPRODUCTION WISELY IMPROVING FITNESS AND DIVERSITY
3) UNITE HUMANITY WITH A LIVING NEW LANGUAGE
4) RULE PASSION FAITH TRADITION AND ALL THINGS WITH
TEMPERED REASON
5) PROTECT PEOPLE AND NATIONS WITH FAIR LAWS AND JUST COURTS
6) LET ALL NATIONS RULE INTERNALLY RESOLVING EXTERNAL DISPUTES
IN A WORLD COURT
7) AVOID PETTY LAWS AND USELESS OFFICIALS
8) BALANCE PERSONAL RIGHTS WITH SOCIAL DUTIES.
9) PRIZE TRUTH BEAUTY LOVE SEEKING HARMONY WITH THE
INFINITE
10) BE NOT A CANCER ON THE EARTH LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE
LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE
In conclusion the directives for these GEORGIA GUIDESTONES call for : a) b) c) Elimination of around 7 billion residents d) e) f) Control of how many people are born g) h) i) The return of the system of ONE LANGUAGE as it was during the construction j) k) of the TOWER OF BABEL l) m) n) The other goals seem to infer that there isnt currently a choice available to us that o) p) can help us to be better people. And there is a choice. q) r) s) But as the prophecy said in Daniel , The Beast/Antichrist will not allow any other t) u) worship, but of himself.
Global Warming and all this false human-directed unity is designed to appeal to our
personal pride , our lustful flesh and our unsatisfied eyes. But we cant save our
selves. We children need OUR FATHER GOD to fight for us against our evil older
brethren Satan (formerly known as Lucifer) and His Fallen Followers.

Revelations 11:18
And the nations were angry, and your wrath is here, and the time of the dead, that they
should be judged, and that you should give reward to your servants the prophets, and to
the saints, and them that fear your name, small and great; AND SHOULD DESTROY
THEM WHICH DESTROY THE EARTH.
