U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon answers a question during a luncheon at Associated Press headquarters in New York, Wednesday Dec. 5, 2007. Ban said he is sending high-level envoys to press Sudan's president to accept non-Africans in the 26,000-strong peacekeeping force for Darfur and to get critically needed helicopters and heavy trucks for the new U.N.-African Union mission.

— and most problematically, its biggest polluter, the United States —

And its biggest producer.

I have a suggestion: Take all the money the U.S. taxpayers spend to fund the U.N., and use it to plant trees. That should solve two problems at the same time.

Wow, how lucky can we get....he’s asking for a change of climate....I guess I’d have to recommend Chile or Argentina this time of year...oh, and take the General Assembly with you, and don’t let the door hit you on the way out! Don’t call us, we’ll call you!

After climate change, Ban said he will focus on some of the most intractable political and humanitarian crises, along with fixing the scandal-plagued U.N. organization

WHat kind of world do we live in where this supposed 'head' of the global community doesn't have one DAMN thing to say about terrorism? Is he out of his freaking mind?

I thought China overtook the United States in CO2 emissions.

So what clowns like him want is for productive Western economies that spend trillions on anti pollution equipment to require their citizens to drive cars powered by lawnmower engines while China can put as much cr@p into the air as they want.

I'm sick of these carbophobes.

[Carbophobe and Carbophobia are terms coined by Jeff Chandler. Just now.]

Another communist shakedown artist in the top UN job, what a shock. If America is so guilty blah blah blah, what are all these freeloaders doing in New York, running up unpaid parking tickets while their limos idle outside the five star restaurants where they eat every day? They should move their headquarters to Mogadishu where they can rub elbows with those poor third worlders they claim to love so much. Fat chance.

It did this year. Now the new claim is ‘per capita.’

Yeah, but they prefer to use per capita ratings. China's population dilutes its ranking that way.

Shhh, don't say anything about the huge brown clouds that float to the west. Don't worry about the dumping of toxic materials into waterways.

I hope the Olympic athletes don't develop asthma or other severe respiratory illnesses during their stay.

Follow the money. That is all we are talking about here. The AIDS thing is running out steam. The Iraq scheme is over. What is left is Global Warming.

Of course, he thinks he’s finally going to get taxing authority.

I hate these weasely, chiseling lemmings.

And meanwhile, Iran is developing nuclear weapons and people are being slaughtered en masse in Darfur by Islamic extremists, and all the UN can think about is climate change.

They're caught up in a false phenomenon of man-made global warming while people are dying at the hands of Islam. Screw the UN.

Sure it is, a single UN study already demands $86 billion for the poor, coming UN studies will demand even more.

The UN's cronies graft of that $86 billion will put the Oil for Food fraud to shame.

Which is one of the reasons the Hill and Bill show want the Presidency back.

As largest ‘contributors’, the Queen and her Jester get the largest ‘kickbacks’.

Isn't the UN climate change committee at a luxurious resort in Bali right now?

Read something a week or two ago, that the local airport manager, was telling UN bureaucrats that there wasn't enough room at the local airport to park all the private jets there. That they'd have to park their jets at other area airports.

I wonder if they'd fly into the other airports, and then be transported to the resort in limo's and SUV's.
Or if all the airplanes would fly to the central airport, the bureaucrats would be taken to the resort in limo's and SUV's, and the planes would then fly to another area airport to park.

CO2 is not pollution, except in the minds of brainwashed Gore-bots.
