UN conference calls for economic “contraction” to combat climate change

UN conference calls for economic “contraction” to combat climate change. One of these geniuses noted that “because conservatives reject the notion global warming, ‘We don’t use the term climate change anymore. It’s sustainable development.’” Yep, folks don’t lose money at 3-card monte anymore, it’s now “random bus-station exterior performance art” or something. It’s the UN that needs to contract – and then disappear completely.

  • I've had enough contracting already. Time to vote Obama out and get the economy moving again, and the US out of the UN.

  • Let's test this idea!! We'll reduce the UN budget by 50 % and ban all large carbon footprint travel - jets. planes, limos, etc for all UN diplomats. Travel to NY by ancient wind powered sailing ships only. Once they arrive they can use clean bicycles to get from port to the UN building. No taxis. We will turn off the air conditioning in the UN building as it is too polluting. Lighting by solar cells and wind turbines only. Waterless toilets, one-sheet max toilet paper per diplomat. Yeah, let's test this idea on them first.

  • It would seem that Obama is going along and getting along withi all these radicals... gee the UN thinks we should cut back on our economy....everything Obama does is destroying our economy... Everyone should do everything possible to make certain this man never gets a 2nd term... I fear for voter fraud ... I doubt there will be further elections if he has 4 more years to sell out, destroy and undermine this nation

  • I call for a For Sale sign on the whole damn place. If it weren't for the dollars from us, the Americans. The whole place would be gone any way. It's time to get out and send the house of cards called the UN packing.

  • Lets combat climate change by not having a United Nations at all. It has a massive carbon footprint, & is worthless. It is a home for people who could never earn an honest dollar if they had to, & they cause way more trouble then they are worth.

    • Just alleviating all the hot air that spews forth from the UN would start a new Ice Age!

  • Just when we think we have heard all the stupid crap known to mankind coming from libs they surprise us and come up with another one.

    I hope President Romney pulls us out of that cesspool.

  • That building could be converted into some major condos! I'm tellin' ya!

    The UN has zero credibility!
