Now, the UN plan is revealed. They’re trying to set up a scam that will dwarf their “Iraqi Oil for Food” scam.

If the UN can convince the wealthy nations of the world that global warming is the fault of the wealthy; the victims of global warming are the poor; the wealthy should be taxed to pay the poor for their injury; and the UN will manage the program, the UN will have pulled off a scam of “Global” proportion.

Give the poor enough money to not be poor and most would find them back in the same shape, all over again.

Hope these politicians, I mean scientists, are young enough to live to witness their humiliation.

They'll be off pumping some other scan by then. You can't humiliate hustlers -- they just move on.

A good comparison for CO2 is:

a basketball is natural CO2.
a golf ball is man made CO2.

A hot air balloon is the entire earths atmosphere.

Add the golf ball to the hot air balloon. Thats mans contribution to manmade gorebull warming.

Earth's Grim Future : UN report says poor will suffer most

Translation to English: Earth's Rosy Future: UN report says poor will benefit the most

Global warming has been the greatest boon to the poor. It is the only reason there are 6 billion people on the Earth.

The US is going to suffer the most because it will be expected to pick up the tab to stop something that is a crock of excretement.

"Global warming is their biggest hoax to date though. Now they are trying to convince everyone that CO2, something that is so miniscule in the atmosphere that it barely registers, is going to kill us all."

The whackos might be insane but they are not stupid.

At .04%+/-, they have picked a molecule that is an easier percentage to affect than nitrogen at 70% or oxygen at 20%.

That's also why they have chosen methane (CH4)as the second worst atmospheric pollutant at 0.00017%.

lol! I forgot about Methane, is that what it is, 0.00017% ?? Damn, that`s practically ZERO! It IS zero to 4 digits, and this is what liberals were complaining about when talking about cow farts? That this is what they say is destroying the envoirnment? I remember that idiot Leonerdo DiCaprio doing a show on “methane poisoning of our atmosphere” and the concentration is ZERO! It`s unreal the BS they keep putting out there. I think out of that 0.00017% probably 99% of it comes out of Al Gores fat ass.

Ozone depletion, scientifically proven to be affected by the sun, and considered a successful campaign by greenie whacko socialists after banning CFC propulsion and converting air-conditioning refrigerants to something four times more expensive, is now off the table.

*Ozone O3 0.000004% of the atmosphere.

The greenie beanies are going up the atmospheric table from bottom to top. Ozone, methane, carbon dioxide.

There is too much Argon for them to complain about although they already made a mint with that scare about a decade ago.

Ozone has no carbon, nor does Argon, so I suppose those are worthless causes.

Trees are no good now because it was proven we plant more than we cut.

CO2 fits well with the anti-capitalist, anti-carbon ideology.

As with other so called pollutants, scrubbing CO2 will never end. Take out 90% of industrial CO2 and the green heads will want 90% taken out of the 10% left. And then 90% of the 1%. It will never end.

Remember when arsenic was measured in parts per million? Fixed that. The standard became parts per billion. Fixed that and the Clinton EPA standard changed to requirements too small to be measured.

Same with dirt pollution. Particulates. The size just became too small to measure.

Standards that can never be met unless manufacturing and building cease to exist.

"I am tired of "The Poor" being exploited by tyrants."

Please note that "The Poor" are no longer a national focus of the leftist leadership in the U.S.A.

The operative characterization is "The Lower Middle Class".

Don't hear much about "The Homeless" as a national issue anymore. Today it is a local issue.

Usually, the left will take credit for eradicating non-issues.

it's a bad idea to be on high mountains with glaciers melting

What is this genius talking about? This makes no sense at all.

Tbis is a continuation of slogans of the past. Sometimes they get their stated goal and sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they get what they say only to find out it causes even worse problems—Prohibition had to be repealed. Just because they might have been onto something of value one time they think whatever they dream up is just as valid.

What will really hurt the poor are those carbon offsets that the likes of Al Gore use to salve their consciences. They involve buying up land in the third world and removing it from the affected nations' economies as potential for development.

BINGO
