UN climate talks end in giant hissy-fit walkout

UN climate talks end in giant hissy-fit walkout. Poor countries, led by China, want rich western countries to give them $100 billion annually as recompense for global warming. They want money and they’re gonna hold their breath and turn purple until they get it.

  • China is poor? A poor example of good government but not financially poor. Obama's selling out our tresury to these commiesdaily. As a result they have plenty of money to fritter away on AGW if they want. But - I can see how they believe they might intimidate Obama and shake him and the US down for more.

  • Looks like the give us money or we walk out form of extortion doesn't work. Me thinks theirs going to be some mighty pissed off dictators in those countries.

    We all know this is physically impossible, so I am willing to donate a large batch of plastic bags and duct tape to help them out.

  • Never mind that even if global warming was actually happening, which it is not, China would be one of the primary causes; and never mind that China owns a giant chunk of U.S. debt so they probably shouldn't be considered poor; and never mind that high carbon dioxide levels actually help subsistence farmers in poor countries. Never mind all that.
