If you're going to call him out on being a hypocrite then you need to show where he instigated an ad hominem attack like you just did.
Otherwise, you are simply conceding the fact that you can't actually respond to the subject matter.

Wouldn't it be smart to read my post in response to you?
Are you not bright enough?
See post #360 .
So you can't backup your claim then.
Oh well.
China ahead of us on climate change. Let's not belittle its commitment

oh please! I don't pepper my posts with insults like you and the other usual suspects around here. What you quoted was my response to the insult member 'taxslave' threw at me. Ya see, I try to ignore most insults by simply highlighting them being made... when inclined I will certainly reply to one I take particular exception to... in this case, it's quite clear member 'taxslave' has absolutely no chops in being able to discuss anything related to GW/AGW/CC... he's just another one you cut & paste wizards drawing from denier blogs et al. When he presumes to chastise me, while adding multiple insults into that mix, yes... so I said to him, "hey genius". Compare that to what you've just recently tagged me with.
pfffft! Note: not an insult... just a reflection of what your nonsense post warrants.
China's commitment!
And we're back on track now.
*pats self on the back*
So are you going to provide evidence for China lolz?
Oh other people's insults are more harsh than your insults.
Such a hypocrite.
Correcting my spelling error... that blew up in your face eh? Embarrassing for you wasn't it?
You are just as idiotic as always Flossy. You weren't derailed at all.
What evidence?
You live in a fantasy world waldo, and it's clear that anyone that doesn't march lock-step with you is offsides... You make it clear in every one of your posts
Missed the photos that Petros offered, eh?
the U.S. will do as the U.S. has always done and that is act in it's own self interest. "China... their"... really? BOOM! :lol:
your revisionism is noted. I suggest you read up on the Kyoto Protocol... the rationale for the respective Annex country assignments is well documented and, in itself, reflects upon negotiated agreement.
no - the U.S. made commitments based on its signing of the treaty... it didn't follow through on those commitments by, as I said, refusing to ratify it internally. As for not being, as you say, "submitted for ratification", see the "Byrd-Hagel" Senate 95-0 voted resolution that killed the ratification attempt... one that would have required 67 U.S. Senators to flip on their "Byrd-Hagel" votes.
please, I hardly know you..... and I don't swing that way... not that there's anything wrong with that!

Just a few pages ago you guys were all so smug about how this was an easy defeat of the US by China because they got everything they wanted. Now, apparently China has no chance in hell of making any effort on its commitment.
Tsk tsk..
Tao Wang, climate scholar at the Tsinghua-Carnegie Center for Global Policy in Beijing, said: “It is a very good sign for both countries and injects strong momentum [into negotiations] but the targets are not ambitious enough and there is room for both countries to negotiate an improvement.
“That figure isn’t high because China aims to reach about 15% by 2020, so it is only a five percentage point increase in 10 years, and given the huge growth in renewables it should be higher.”
