There are high expectations for the next UN climate summit taking place in Paris in late November and early December. Obama is determined to get a “binding” international treaty to succeed the failed Kyoto Protocol. One of the major sticking points all along has been the reluctance of developing nations, especially China and India, to commit to significant emissions reductions which would reduce their economic growth. So China, India, and other nations were exempted from the Kyoto Protocol, and now China is the top emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. The strategy for the next treaty will be not to try to impose uniform emissions reduction targets like Kyoto, but to ask what every nation could do (sort of like a pot luck, or stone soup), wrap it with a bow, and call it a “treaty” (though Obama will certainly call it another “executive agreement” so he can get around Congress). This is thought to make it harder for China and India to say No.
Developing nations have said that they might be willing to accept emissions reductions—if the wealthy developed nations coughed up lots of foreign aid to pay for it. Here’s a short squib from the Cooler Heads Coalition that notices India’s price tag for going along:
On 1st October, India submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (or INDC) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The 38-page document recounts India’s climate policies to date and lays out its plans to reduce emissions 33-35% by 2030. According to the INDC, India will need $2.5 trillion of foreign aid in order to take the appropriate steps. For reference, that is slightly less than a year and a half of India’s current GDP. Of this $2.5 trillion, only $883 billion would be used to reduce emissions. The rest would be used to fund “adaptation action” designed to reduce the effects of climate change on Indians. While there has been much said in the mainstream media about how ambitious India’s goals are, very little has been said about how much it will cost taxpayers in developed countries to achieve those goals.
I hope India will demand this in writing, with binding language that forces rich nations to cough up the cash. Yeah, that’s going to happen. What are other developing nations going to charge for going along with this farce?
What a farce!!! India doesn’t have that kind of money to blow on this nonsense. Same for China and they are top emitters of that evil CO2
Starving billions accross the world... Just to make a stupid liberal in an American University not feel butt hurt
Maybe Pol Pot was right to kill all those lawyers and intellectuals....
There is no global warming at all— ZERO. In fact the Earth has been cooling since 1999!! Absolute truth. Never spend a penny on “Global Warming”!! IT DOES NOT EXIST!! Sun SPOTS!!! Not CO2!!

So, foreign aid $$$ will help reduce their pollution, so that they can retain their competitive advantage of low-cost production.
How about tariffs on goods produced by highly polluting countries?
Let’s try this:
“Global Climate Change,” and the procedures it demands, is a savagely racist, and oppressive progrom to destroy the world’s less fortunate peoples — meaning anyone not white European, or current elements of the global British Commonwealth.
“Global Climate Change” is a racist and murderous trick, clothed in deceptive and speculative faux-”Science,” to cull the Earth’s population to levels the Ruling Elite consider optimal. The world’s less fortunate have NOT been consulted on this.
The great deception of “Global Climate Change” is a product of racist, elitist promoters of a single, global oppressive world government, run by themselves, and for their exclusive benefit.
“Global Climate Change” is born of the Ruling Elites’ attitude of, “We’ve got ours, and now we’re locking the door to keep everybody else in the world poor and miserable so we can retain and expand our comfort, control, wealth, and power.”
(Let’s see if that flies anywhere...)
a pogrom program = a progrom?
Yeah. A typo. Sorry. Did you also see the content? Or did you miss that part?
This is like a bunch of kids who have pulled off a prank that has succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
And so now they are riding the tiger and have no way to get off without being eaten.
Hmm...let’s see. $2.5 trillion on climate change BS which would cripple their economies or $2.5 trillion on their own development. Decisions, decisions.
I wonder where the $2.5 billion “ foreign aid” will come from?
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Kyoto was the “send your factory to China” treaty. It succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.
Obama is going to try and top it. Congress is getting its rubber stamp ready. No need to send over a copy for them to read, they’re sure its fine.
Exactly why China produces so much CO2 that we used to produce. The idiots in DC and their corporate masters sent our industries and good paying jobs there. Ross Perot and Pat Buchanan were correct 23 years ago! They predicted our de- industrialization.
There are 300 million people in India without electricity.
I can’t imagine that conservation is going to play a large part in the immediate future.

Look at spain
India imports a lot of it's oil from Mozzie countries. Yet it has a lot of sun, a lot of rain and there is a lot of breeze on the coasts -- they should be able to generate a lot of power this way.
They should top it up with electricity generated from nuclear power
It's better for their economy and will give them cleaner air than if they burn coal.
