The Latest: Palestinians to Join Climate Change Convention
The New York Slimes ^ | DEC. 12, 2015 | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LE BOURGET, France — With the sudden bang of a gavel Saturday night, representatives of 195 countries reached a landmark climate accord that will, for the first time, commit nearly every country to lowering planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions to help stave off the most drastic effects of climate change.

Delegates who have been negotiating intensely in this Paris suburb for two weeks gathered for the final plenary session, where Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius of France asked for opposition to the deal and, hearing none, declared it approved.

With that, the delegates achieved what had been unreachable for two decades: a consensus on the need to shift from carbon-based fuels and a road map for the 195 nations to do so.

Let me guess: Jews cause global warming so Israel must be pushed into the Mediterranean, right?

Can you imagine the vast quantities of wine and cheese consumed by these weirdos? How many hookers were brought in to ‘reach an agreement’? Who brought the best drugs?

Well yeah....they’re marxist/Islamofacists. They need to get on the BS bandwagon too. It’s the destroy freedom paradigm. That and kill Jews and white European types...or at least make them part of the 3rd world.

This sounds quite exclusionary!

It’s not going to be settled science unless ISIS attends... and it’s little dog ISIL too.

Exactly what I have wondered.

What was the carbon footprint of this conference?

How many people were wining and dining and partying on someone else’s dime for two whole weeks?? All of these people had either their governments or employers paying for their expenses to eat gourmet meals and stay at 5 star hotels. Undoubtedly some with the Bill Clinton problem were able to charge off the expense of a girl for the night on their expense reports. Maybe even drugs were involved and reimbursed. Maybe all these attendees charged off carbon credits for attending, with the carbon credits paid by their governments or employers. These elitist types would never pay for their own carbon credits out of their own pockets.

To reduce carbon emissions, the palestinians should limit their suicide bombers to either one or two per week.

This could be a good development. The so-called “pAlestinians” (sic) savages have blown up, killed, or murdered everything they’ve ever been able to get their hands on. Now these Satanic basturds can kill off the “climate change” BS, too!!

Did the Palestinians pledge to stop launching rockets at Israel, to reduce their carbon footprint? Hmm?

So the Palis will refrain from doing what? Clearing fields by burning? Burning plastic garbage? Throwing firebombs?
