First ... let's start with this. If you don't read anything else today .. anywhere .. read this. It's a column from the Canadian Financial Post. I heard the Godfather talking about it yesterday .. and Peter Foster says what a lot of the more aware among us have been saying for years (The Godfather and my humble self included) .. that the environmental movement has been occupied by cast-off Commies and assorted anti-capitalist radicals.

At the Bali conference on global warming, more than 200 climate scientists issued a declaration to agree on strong targets for tackling climate change. The declaration says that global greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced by at least 50% below 1990 levels by 2050. The goal "must be to limit global warming to no more than 2 ºC above the pre-industrial temperature."

And developing nations demanded rapid transfers of technology to help them combat climate change. Poor counties are demanding that they need more scientific know-how to reduce pollution and improve energy efficiency. Where do they get this technology? From wealthy nations. Who pays for it? Wealthy nations; evil, nasty, oppressive, horrible wealth nations. In the meantime those wealthy nations at the conference are focusing on making big countries like China setting goals for cutting pollution emissions.

Meanwhile, the government officials and activists that have flown to Bali will cause as much pollution as 20,000 cars in one year. Each delegate with produce an average of 4.07 metric tons of carbon dioxide. This total is the equivalent of 20,350 mid-sized cars. Some of the nations' delegates promise to offset their carbon footprint by planting trees or buying emissions credits. But scientists say that these symbolic actions won't do squat.

Another great column about the global warming mob hysteria. It's by Andrew Bolt. He tells of the nightmare he experiences being on the outside watching the mob self-destruct.
