Utterly shocking (:
Developing countries were today shocked by new UN data showing that rich nations will be able to increase their carbon emissions by up to 8% if they take advantage of a series of major loopholes in their pledges.
Instead of reducing emissions by a minimum of 30-40% by 2020 and holding temperatures to a rise of 2C – as many campaigners hoped the Copenhagen climate summit in December would achieve – many rich countries would not need to make any domestic cuts to stay within the legal limits of a new global climate deal being negotiated at resumed UN talks in Bonn this week.
The figures, which are far higher than expected, could be achieved by a series of carbon accountancy tricks and devices including:
Just like the scientific skulduggery that went into “proving” the existence of AGW, similar accounting tricks will be employed by western nations to stick to the letter of any carbon treaty, without beggaring their respective economies.
It’s all political theatre at this point. I’m only discouraged only 8% worth of loopholes has been discovered so far.
Well, that’s a surprise.
Like a giant, real-life monopoly game with real billions, isn’t it? Designed so that the world’s losers can be perpetual winners.
The climate has been changing for countless millions of years and will continue to do so with or without the socialist AGW fraud.
“Only fools and imbiciles rant against climate change.”
It’s spelled imbeciles, fool.
And the only ones who are ranting against climate change, which is a normal cycle every 800 years, are the environmentalists.
If it weren’t for the environmental hysteric ranting and absurd unproven claims of imminent catastrophe, climate wouldn’t even be an issue with normal people in the first place.
The next one the chicken littles are setting us up for is an active vs. inactive sun. We are going into a period of solar storms that will devastate our electrical grid, shut down communications, send us all back to the dark ages, etc.,etc., etc.,
How are they going to tax this, I wonder?
Some dubf*ck – I think we know who – is posting as me. I have in fact developed two blogs denouncing AGW. Kate, kindly remove these posts as they have nothing to do with me.
All can be achieved if we go back to 1850.
The difference between guys like al gore and david suzuki and snake oil salesmen is that snake oil salesmen have panache.
First there were “poor countries”.
Then there were “undeveloped countries”.
Then there were “developing countries”.
Next there will be “emerging countries”.
Followed by: “emerging with difficulty countries”.
Followed by: “about to emerge countries”.
Followed by: “about to take off kleptocracies”.
Followed by: “never had a chance countries and its all Bush’s fault”.
Deceptive accounting tricks indeed.
The same accounting wizardry that enabled the ‘PIGS’ to conceal their deficits and red ink for so long.
The accounting wizardry comes from America’s pros…
GoldmanSachs and friends like AIG.
I am shocked, shocked!
A scam wrapped in a hoax surrounded by a lie.
“Instead of reducing emissions by a minimum of 30-40% by 2020 and holding temperatures to a rise of 2C”?!?! Hasn’t anyone noticed that the globe is NOT warming? I would like to bet $10,000 that the globe does not warm two degrees c by 2020 even if carbon emissions go up by 50%. Any takers? Al? Come on Al. Put yer money where yer mouth is Al!…. Anyone?
“Only fools and imbeciles rant against climate change.”
–
These same climate change idiots ranted against Nuclear Power and now the off shore deep oil companies have laughed all the way to the Wall Street banks.
Even their internet rants use oil for power to generate their wasted broadband.
The keyboard, mouse and computer screen use oil based products.
I blame environ-mentalists for the black oil mess in our Gulf.
A nuclear disaster would have been better regulated and killed/moved humans.
This oil disaster has wiped out thousands/millions of their Greenpeace birds, fish, and snails.
I guess when Obama realized his Blackberry was made out of oil based products he decided to reopen most offshore drilling.
