When Lunatics Run the Asylum
We can joke all day long about the Bali conference, but these people are cutting deals that can hurt our economy. And this is asample of the intelligence of these people.
He is known as the “hard man” of climate-change negotiation.
But after 12 exhausting days of trying to reach a worldwide agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it was suddenly all too much for Yvo de Boer.
As the 200-nation Bali conference wrangled over a minor procedural matter, the Dutch diplomat in charge of the talks burst into tears and had to be led away by colleagues.
Moments earlier, Mr de Boer had been warning delegates that failure to reach an agreement on global warming could “plunge the world into conflict”.
Officials from China, which feels Western countries should do more to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, accused UN negotiators of ignoring conference protocol.
Mr de Boer, distinctively dressed in a floral shirt, stepped up to the microphone to defend his staff - only to find that the words would no longer come.
As his unfinished sentences trailed away, he broke down and walked off the platform to supportive applause.
“He wasn’t just wiping his eyes, he was in floods of tears,” said one observer.
There’s going to be a conflict from the people if we have to put up with much more of this AGW nonsense. The fanatics are coming out the the woodwork.
More “BS at Bali” from the Luddites over at Friends of the Earth Indonesia.
“A common theme was that the “solutions” to
climate change that are being posed by many governments, such as nuclear
power, carbon capture and storage (CCS) and biofuels are false and are not
rooted in justice.”
“Another point was that as this current economic system got us here in the first place, a climate change response, must have at its heart, a redistribution of wealth and resources.”I can only point out that Socialism is not the answer for good environmental policies or issues.
