The Arabs are already pouring those billions into other businesses that will sustain their income stream if/when oil is less lucrative. Airlines and aircraft leasing are two of them. Travel between the West and Far East, is another.

I dont see anything wrong the verbiage:

President Obama will vow to cut US carbon emissions by 17% by 2020, when he attends the climate summit in Copenhagen.

But I dont have radar....just a bullshit detector and I dont detect bullshit in the verbiage, assuming Obama can get a climate bill through Congress next year

Doesn't just about every president make treaties, pacts and agreements with other countries, that will extend past his term?
