Climate conference approves “landmark” deal – to have more meetings

Climate conference approves “landmark” deal – for more negotiations. “The 194-party conference agreed to start negotiations on a new accord that would ensure that countries will be legally bound to carry out any pledges they make. It would take effect by 2020 at the latest.” Climate change exists because college educated leftists are above falling for 3-card monte or shell games. But the good thing about it is it keeps idiot diplomats and media-ocrities off the streets and puts them 10,000 miles away in Durban.

  • They complain about CO2 emissions while they sit there guzzling Coke and Pepsi, burping out more CO2 than a tractor trailer pulling 40,000 lbs uphill.
    Ban soft drinks and see what the CO2 levels are then!

    • No! Because then the next step would be beer... And that's the day my patience wears out and the revolution begins! :)

        • Not all unfortunately, my brother-in-law brews his own beer and it's the most delicious micro brew you have ever tried... You ever get a chance to try Hoppin' Frog brew from Ohio, jump on it! 1 bottle and you will never look back at that Swiss company ever again.

  • We do not appreciate even a small proportion of the deception and social re-engineering that is being dumped on the US and the West.

    From the “Background Paper” entitled: “INVESTMENT AND FINANCIAL FLOWS UNFCCC TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE”. (1) as referenced in the main UNIPCC Rev 4 Report.

    The alarm bell rang after reading the section within the Background paper that established (along with a load of other tax payer monies sink holes) the Resource Allocation Framework (RAF) together with “Additional Funding Components.

    (i) A RESOURCE ALLOCATION FRAMEWORK (RAF)
    “Where by: China, India and the Russian Federation are likely to receive the most under the RAF formula, followed by Brazil, Mexico and South Africa, followed by a group of countries that includes Argentina, Egypt, Indonesia, Islamic Republic of Iran, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Romania, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine and Venezuela.”

    (ii) ADDITIONAL FUNDING COMPONENTS
    “Two (2) funding components: (A) "GHG Emissions" mitigation at an estimated cost of 380Billion by 2030 and (B) "Adverse Impact" mitigation at an estimated cost of USD171Billion by 2030 of which "Coastal Zones" (Increasing Sea Level) is $11Billion.”

    The Background Paper goes on to describe, as a means of sourcing additional funding, “Governments establish(ing) indirect levy’s” with Cap and Trade being named as such a levy vehicle. So there you have it: Governments now in play as the collection agency for tax payer’s monies (contributing) to be handed over for the UN to run their "Adaption Fund" and to be distributed as described within the RAF.

    And all under the control of the UN (you can also research and verify the Soros link from within the Background papers) with its Global Governance aspirations.

  • So basically it's a big FAIL. The couldn't come up with any real agreement so they agreed to agree to try and find something they can agree on.

  • Cap-n-trade , global warming , carbon reduction , etc , etc, etc, , has been in my opinion nothing more than an attempt to set up a funding mechinism for a global government .

    You get together a bunch of mush headed , ill taught , miss informed zealots that believe what they're told , inspite of all the damming evidence that proves them wrong and you have a religious movement with the masters getting most , if not all the rewards.

    Throw in heavy campaign contributions , to keep the hitters in your camp and what we end up having is corruption beyond our wildest dreams.

    DEATH TO THE DENIERS , or so they say . Are we going to leave this problem for our children or their children ? The only thing that evil men need to succeed is for good men to do nothing.

      My Dear Sweet Oliva! We have a job opening for you!

  • Charging full steam ahead with one foot nailed to the floor!

    With all the smoking gun emails leaked recently, why are they still at it? And skeptics call religious people fools for believing in things unseen... sheesh!
