My problem with you Mr Huckabee is not so much the issue at hand, though your commutation history needs to be addressed more closely.
My problem with you is that you are a fake conservative. Your stated advisors are admitted globalists. My question to you: With globalist advice, how would you have done things differently heading into Copenhagen?
Huckabee Takes Some Heat
Candidate turns to globalist Richard Haass for foreign policy advice

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is getting more heat both online and in person from critics who scold the former governor for consulting the president of the Council on Foreign Relations on issues of international affairs.
Last month, Huckabee confirmed to CNN's Wolf Blitzer that he consults CFR President Richard Haass on foreign affairs matters a fact that has circulated among bloggers and anti-globalism activists.
"Who are your principal foreign policy advisers, Governor," asked Blitzer.
Huckabee responded: "Well, I have a number of people from whom I get policy. I'm talking to Frank Gaffney. I talk to Richard Haass."
The National Expositor website pointed out Haass penned a column in the Taipei Times that called on sovereign nations to cede power to global bodies.
"States must be prepared to cede some sovereignty to world bodies if the international system is to function," Haass wrote. "This is already taking place in the trade realm. Governments agree to accept the rulings of the WTO because on balance they benefit from an international trading order even if a particular decision requires that they alter a practice that is their sovereign right to carry out.
" [S]overeignty must be redefined if states are to cope with globalization. At its core, globalization entails the increasing volume, velocity, and importance of flows within and across borders of people, ideas, greenhouse gases, goods, dollars, drugs, viruses, e-mails, weapons and a good deal else, challenging one of sovereignty's fundamental principles: the ability to control what crosses borders in either direction. Sovereign states increasingly measure their vulnerability not to one another, but to forces beyond their control."
Haas then argues that sovereignty "needs to become weaker."
