Climate Change–Impotent

Everybody for the last week has been watching Denmark and the issues coming out on climate change conference…….many leaders and lots of protesters have descended onto the capital…….even Obam has returned to the scene of one of his biggest screw ups…..the Olympics…….and what did he get this time?

Not much……it has been called a limp penis of a deal……

The agreement between the US, China, Brazil, India and South Africa is limited to lip service to the goal of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050. It reportedly drops any reference to a 2010 deadline for a legally binding climate accord, which had been the centerpiece of earlier drafts, in favor of a pledge to continue discussions when the conference reconvenes in Mexico City next year, and to make progress by 2016.

While a draft communique reportedly proposes several numerical goals, such as an 80 percent reduction in emissions by 2050, compared to a baseline of 1990, these are merely aspirational, with no actual targets for specific countries or groups of countries, and no concrete mechanisms for either verification or enforcement. The target of limiting the rise in world temperatures to 2 degrees Centigrade has been widely condemned by environmental activists and scientists, because it means the effective desertification of much of Africa. Even this “limit” is expressed only as a wish, an acknowledgment of the scientific consensus, and not translated into specific policies to achieve that goal.

Okay, I watched……what did these people accomplish?  Yet another waste of time chasing some Quixotic tilting of windmills………and they will do it all again and again….and the result will be the same…..wasted days and wasted nights……and the song remains the same……

  1. They achieved quite a lot! It cost enough money to run a small country; it’s carbon footprint was enough for a LARGE country; and yet again we all paid for these jerks to go jetting around the world to no useful purpose whatsover.

    I’d say that’s quite a lot to manage in one week – oh, and they also agreed to carry on screwing up the planet – pretty good for a bunch of morons, I’d have thought… 😈

    1. This all sounds like the crap from G7 or G20 or whatever G it is……these summits are juyst that…wasted days and wasted nights and our money crapped down the drain……

      BTW, Quin watch for my post on artificial trees in the next day or so…..

  2. I think they just went there for the hookers.

    Seems to me that it was mostly about economics. A country that does not have restrictions would have a competitive advantage. So, most of them was trying to get restrictions on their neighbors and they keep on polluting as normal.

    1. If we equate economics with financial clout…then I have to agree….it would be Tiger’s country of choice…lots of blondes
