From Nopenhagen to Yes We Cancun

by Christopher Monckton

Thanks to Wikileaks, everyone here in the Mañana Republic of Mexico now knows just how much bullying and arm-twisting the administration of Barack Obama in the United States applied to various countries around the world so that they would (and did) sign up to the Copenhagen climate accord.

Without that pressure, nothing at all would have happened at Copenhagen this time last year, and “the Process” – the interminable round of flatulent annual climate conferences in exotic locations at taxpayers’ expense – would have tipped into the gulch forever.

The hard Left has learned the hard way that democracies do not welcome it and, in the end, will reject it. So the climate extremists have abandoned last year’s attempt, in the now-defunct September 15 Copenhagen Treaty draft, to install overnight an unelected world government consisting only of themselves, with unlimited powers of taxation, economic and environmental regulation without representation, as well as control of all formerly free markets worldwide, all in the name of Saving The Planet (which, of course, was triumphantly Saved 2000 years ago and does not need to be Saved again).

Instead, the Martini Marxists dancing the night away doing the Cancun Can-Can with the 25 pneumatic bunny girls in the newly-opened Playboy Casino on the ocean-front strip in Cancun have decided to copy the bureaucrats of the European Union, whose crafty, crabwise coup d’etat over the last three or four decades has transferred all real political power, little by little, treaty by treaty, to the dismal dictatorship of Brussels.

Though there is a toothless democratic fig-leaf in the shape of the European “Parliament”, all decisions in the EU are in fact taken by a couple of dozen faceless, overpaid Kommissars (that is the official German mot juste for them) – faceless because they meet behind closed doors and then emerge to promulgate their “Directives”: on average, one every three hours, day and night, Sundays and holidays included, 365 days a year, 366 days on leap-years.

In Europe, democracy has gone. Perma-Socialism has quietly supplanted it. If demolishing democracy worked there, the enviro-zombs’ reasoning goes, it will work on a worldwide scale, if only the crumbling pretext for global tyranny – the supposed need to prevent catastrophic “global warming” – can be kept going for long enough even though most ordinary voters (in those nations lucky enough to have them) have seen through the scam long since.

The Process works like this. A multitude of long, inspissate, obfuscatory, obnubilating, obscurantist draft agreements are circulated, always a day or two late for delegates to find out what they have actually agreed to. The daily timetables for the various “working” sessions of the conference are never available until breakfast-time on the day, allowing no scope for planning the day. By these means, most delegates are kept permanently and completely in the dark.

Here is a typical paragraph from one of these leaden documents:

“The SBSTA welcomed the report (FCCC/SBSTA/2010/INF.10) on the second workshop of the work programme on revising the “Guidelines for the preparation of national communications by Parties included in Annex I to the Convention Part I: UNFCCC reporting guidelines on annual inventories” (hereinafter referred to as the UNFCCC Annex I reporting guidelines), held in Bonn, Germany, from 3 to 4 November 2010, which was organized by the secretariat as requested by the SBSTA at its thirtieth session.”

Try to read several hundred pages of this stuff. It simply isn’t possible. And that, of course, is the idea. This is the Mushroom-Growers’ Management Method writ large: keep them in the dark and feed them plenty of sh*t.

What these ramblings conceal is the remarkably rapid rate at which dozens – no, hundreds – of new bureaucracies are being created as The Process grinds on. As anyone at the Playboy Casino will tell you, “somebody gotta pay for all those lights.” And that somebody is you, gentle taxpayer. No one has yet managed to discover just how much these hundreds of new supranational climate-change bureaucracies are costing us. That is an international state secret – until Wikileaks gets hold of the figures, of course.

OK, Monckton, you want some from WikiLeaks?

How about this…

WikiLeaks cables: US pressured UN climate chief to bar Iranian from job

Rajendra Pachauri denies helping Washington block scientist from senior post on intergovernmental climate body

• Cables reveal how US manipulated climate accord
• Lifting the lid on America’s secret climate tactics

…There now follows a detailed description on all the political backstabbing and not-so “diplomatic” maneuvering around who was appointed to which position at the IPCC you can read about here:

Hot hot hot Lord Monckton ping!

There is SO global warming.

Cancun schedule for all arriving climate change conference participants: Get drunk, get laid, get fed, gamble, sleep. The schedule remains the same for every day you are in Cancun. Welcome and thank you for your efforts to save the planet.

We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it.

The strange thing is, that even with the best of intentions and most transparent process, the iron law of unintended consequences always wins in the end.

[nina0113]

...inspissate, ... obnubilating,...

Always a couple of words I have to look up.

Inspissate: to thicken, as by evaporation; make or become dense.

obnubilate - make unclear, indistinct, or blurred;

from assorted online dictionaries, whose links I closed too soon to provide.

“And a refreshing bit it is, too !”

Had to go to the dictionary twice though!
“ inspissate, obnubilating”
And Spell Czech doesn’t like either word! But then Spell Czech is knot yore friend!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

ROFL!

Dammit. I'm stealing that. BTT.

LOL, Monckton, 2010:

Me, 2009:

This COP-15 document consists of a vast array of bracketed options to be decided upon by “the parties” and few have any idea what an appropriate term “parties” really is: When the thousands of delegates, mostly from “developing” and third whirled countries, show up in Copenhagen, they will be ensconced in fancy hotels, and showered with days of wining and dining, with a per-diem sufficient to supply the likely influx of hookers. These minor officials will gather in large rooms with UN staff scurrying back and forth telling them how to coordinate with what has been decided in another room pursuant to closed door meetings with no-one but the UN-paid staff present. Hence, NOBODY KNOWS what the final article is going to be other than the staff, but no matter what, the final product will be declared “a consensus.

And don't think he wasn't shown this article. I know who did.

[Tax-chick]

Aaaaah! Just what my freezing fingers needed! This is quite snarky and approachable for Lord Monckton: fewer compound-complex sentences than usual, although we did need the dictionary. He must have noticed that Mark Steyn is poorly and decided we needed some zingers.

Sounds like how the landgrabbers of yesteryear used to get the Indians to sign away their territories.

[Westbrook]

At the U.N, every day is Halloween.

The U.S. should de-fund the U.N. immediately.

All U.N. diplomats should be given 48 hours to vacate and return to their nations of origin, under military escort if necessary.

Not one dime of U.S. money should be invested in our own destruction.
