From Cancun to Los Cabos, tourists scared off Mexico’s beaches. Mexico is getting to be a larger shithole every day yet ex-presidente Vicente Fox thinks nothing of ragging on Trump about everything and anything. He should worry about his own catbox.
.@realDonaldTrump, you getting this? Actions solve crisis, not tweets or speeches. Congrats to @Tesla and @elonmusk. https://t.co/H2956ORtBZ

We’re pretty confident that U.N. corruptocrats will fly home from Cancún and produce a stack of reports thick enough to kill off every tree in Bavaria, but all you really need to know can be found in the following four quotes.
We’re pretty confident that U.N. corruptocrats will fly home from Cancún and produce a stack of reports thick enough to kill off every tree in Bavaria, but all you really need to know can be found in the following four quotes.
Ben Webster in The Times UK:
The climate change conference in Cancún has ended with failure to set a target date for the reduction of carbon emissions. The Mexican hosts persuaded 192 out of 193 countries to accept the “Cancún agreement” by the simple trick of aiming for the lowest common denominator — the agreement was secured by deferring decisions on all of the most contentious issues.
Nitin Sethi in The Economic Times of India:
Under the new Cancun deal, each country will be allowed to offer whatever it wishes to pledge for emission reductions on its own volition. There shall be no cumulative target to reach. No one shall ask if the individual targets are collectively adequate or not. The new regime will only check if the pledges have been acted upon or not. Rich countries, including the US, will offer emission reduction targets and others, such as India, will offer their mitigation actions as part of a new deal which can be said to be defined by the bottoms up approach. Under the agreement India will get off easy. Because it let others off easy as well.
Walter Russell Mead in The American Interest:
That is the big news out of Cancun; the green agenda has fallen into a UN black hole and for now at least it cannot get out. The “success” of Cancun is a best case scenario from the skeptic’s point of view. The cost of funding endless UN gabfests in exotic tourist locations (next up: South Africa in 2012) is trivial compared to the cost of any serious efforts to deal with carbon emissions on the scale current scientific theory suggests would be needed. Bureaucrats will dance, journalists will spin and carbon will spew, and the greens will be unable to escape this dysfunctional UN process for years and maybe decades to come.
Ronald Bailey in Reason Online:
The United Nation’s climate change conference here in Cancun came to an end at around 4 a.m. this morning. It would be cynical to call it a bribe, but the Cancun agreements were largely reached because the rich countries continued their vague promises to hand over $100 billion in climate aid annually to poor countries beginning in 2020.
Game. Set. Match. Let’s go sit in the shade and have a beer.
Or for those of you in Europe or the Midwest and eastern United States, stay inside, put another log on the fire, fix yourself a nice hot cocoa, then sit back and watch the snow fall.

Last year’s global warming conference in Copenhagen was hit by a huge blizzard, so the UN’s powers that be wised up and moved the conference to a tropical locale this year. Naturally, the Gore Effect strikes again in Cancun.

Ice Age Now has the story of record low temperatures at the UN’s Mexican hideaway:
“With the UN Climate Change Conference underway in Cancun to discuss the dangers of Global Warming, the resort host location is experiencing its third straight day of record cold temperatures,” says reader Richard Nathan.
Today the mercury fell to 53F in Cancun. The record for this date – 57F – was set in 2000.
Yesterday, the temperature in Cancun fell to 53F, a new record, and on Dec 5th it fell to 51F, yet another new record.
When will the eco-wackos give up this absurd global warming scam? When Hell freezes over. Or maybe when Cancun freezes over. Whichever comes first.

Vicky Pope, head of the climate predictions programme at the Met Office’s Hadley Centre, was stuck at Gatwick airport this week, a victim of Britain’s brutal cold snap.
No, not that Pope. In this case we’re talking about Vicky Pope, the head of Great Britain’s global warming religion.
The Guardian UK has the ironic info:
Vicky Pope, head of the climate predictions programme at the Met Office’s Hadley Centre, was stuck at Gatwick airport this week, a victim of Britain’s brutal cold snap. Ironically, she was on her way to Cancún to announce, together with the UN’s World Meteorological Organisation, that 2010 had provisionally tied with 1998 as the hottest year on record.
Imagine the delegates rising as one and chanting, “Yes we Cancun. Yes we Cancun. Yes we Cancun.”

The current United Nations’ Cancun global warming conference is an embarrassing failure. And Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe, who has been one of the most vocal critics of the entire global warming scam, is dancing on its grave.
We love this story. The current United Nations’ Cancun global warming conference is an embarrassing failure. Instead of the world’s leaders gathering as they did last year in Copenhagen, this year’s waste-a-thon attracted nothing but lower level flunkies. People who built their reputations on global warming are now avoiding it like it has herpes.
Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe, who has been one of the most vocal critics of the entire global warming scam, is dancing on its grave. He started by doing the Watusi, followed that by doing the Twist, then did the Hully Gully, and finished up with a wild rendition of the Monkey.
Dance, Jimmy, dance. You were right all along and never gave an inch when you were standing out there fighting the good fight all alone.
We have come a long way since the last UN Climate meeting last year when President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Lisa Jackson, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry and dozens of lawmakers made their way to Copenhagen to tell the world that cap-and-trade was going to pass the United States Senate. Yet the truth was it had no chance of passing. To deliver that message, I traveled to Copenhagen as a one-man truth squad. I was only on the ground for about 2 hours, perhaps the most enjoyable 2 hours of my life, but the message I delivered was clear; under no circumstances will Global Warming Cap and Trade legislation ever pass the United States Senate. The reporters and diplomats didn’t like it. They hated me for telling the truth. But here we are: I was right and they were wrong.
The fact is, nothing is going to happen in Cancun this year and everyone knows it. I couldn’t be happier and poor Al Gore couldn’t be more upset: it has been widely reported that he is “depressed” about Cancun.
But let me be clear: despite our success over the past year, global warming alarmists will continue to push their agenda. For example, some leaders in Cancun are stepping up their attacks on capitalism and United Nations officials are saying they need to do more to “spread the wealth around.” All of this is more of the same.Remember it was French President Jacques Chirac, who said in 2000 that Kyoto Protocol was the “first component of an authentic global governance.” And Margot Wallstrom, the European Union’s former Environment Commissioner, who said in 2001 that Kyoto is about “trying to create a level playing field for big businesses throughout the world.”
Good work, Senator Inhofe. To paraphrase Barack Obama, “You won.”
Yvo de Boer, a former United Nations corruptocrat and global warming scaremonger, has come up with a realistic scenario that will scare the bejeezus out of the delegates at the upcoming conference in Cancun.

The Associated Press reports:
De Boer said climate negotiators in Cancun should focus on “small steps” toward slowing climate change, warning that if there is another failure such as took place in Copenhagen last year, ”no one will take us seriously anymore.”
We believe the actual quote was, “NO ONE WILL TAKE US SERIOUSLY ANYMORE!!!!!!! AND OUR FUNDING WILL BE CUT OFF!!!!!! AND WE’LL STOP HAVING THESE POSH ANNUAL OUTINGS AT FANCY INTERNATIONAL RESORTS!!!!!!”
But let’s not quibble. The AP’s paraphrase was close enough.
