One Year On - In the Wake of Copenhagen

"Once again the “rich countries” have managed to take prosperity away from the Third World. And at Christmas too. We’d promised them billions in guilt payments for something called “global warming.” They don’t pay that much attention to thermometers, and weather is something they mostly live with rather than forecast.

But we ourselves had warned them their islands were about to sink beneath the waves. It hasn’t happened yet, but the computer models say it will be so. We warned them their food crops would begin to fail—though crop yields around the earth have so far continued to increase. We told them that wild species like the polar bear would go extinct—if not yet then sometime soon.

“The heaviest burden of global warming will fall on the poorest countries,” said the best and brightest of our thinkers and climate modelers. “We must pay billions to the third world to finance greener energy systems so they won’t chop down the trees or burn coal or kerosene.”

Then, at Copenhagen—as the “last chance” for humans to save the world—we decided not to save it. Can we blame the Third World for being angry and mystified?"

Global warming ??? Someone let the cat out of the bag, its Global cooling, yes scientific fact, the global warming scam has been put to bed. They now call it climate change after having their last scam totally discredited. It was always about TAXATION, money out of your pocket and straight into the pockets of international Bankers.

For those really concerned about the planet the major issue that needs to be addressed is uncontrolled population growth and its potential disastrous effect on this planet. Third world counties need to address this issue as their population growth rates are out of control.

The United Nations already have these fast breeders well and truly in their sights with plans for negative population growth at an advanced stage, no need to worry.

Sorry but you have been taken for a ride, for a start, "they" dont call it Global Warming any more, that myth has been debunked, its actually Global Cooling, fact, so now the same clowns calling the scam GW have had to re-name it "climate change".  To enter into this debate without any serious consideration about global population control is pure stupidity.

No need to worry however, other's have already considered that aspect of the problem and programs for depopulation of the planet are already well underway with third world countries well and truly in focus.

The entire scam was always about tax revenues, only the misinformed fell for the trap.
