#1 He [Putty's advisor] called the accord âan anti-human document restricting economic growth,â hoping âcommon sense will prevail, and our country, together with other nations, will abandon this crazy idea.â

I like this guy.

#2 I think he's been against this for a long, long time.

#3 It was he that fought so long against it. He must have gotten the science right, because surely Russia could only benefit from global warming -- so much of their historical foreign policy has been based on the search for a warm water port.

#4 Putin is a snake. A pragmatic snake. A practical snake, but a snake nonetheless...
