Environmental activists demonstrate near the venue of the UN Climate Change Conference in Nusa Dua. UN chief Ban Ki-moon was to embark on a four-nation Asian tour Saturday highlighted by his attendance at the climate change conference in Bali, Indonesia, his spokeswoman said Friday.

Indigenous people from around the globe said they were being excluded from key international climate change talks, when it was their homes, livelihoods and culture at risk from global warming.

A 190-nation climate meeting in Bali took small steps towards a new global deal to fight global warming by 2009 amid disputes about how far China and India should curb rising greenhouse gas emissions.

Australian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in a bid to cut the emission of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming, researchers say.

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on Thursday denied his government would support deep carbon emission cuts for developing nations by 2020 aimed at curbing global warming.

Like Red China has no wealth?

[Red_Devil 232]

I wonder how much they paid the protesters? Looks like diversity day at Disney Land.

[SteamShovel]

China ....... rejected mandatory emission cuts for its own developing industries.

What more evidence do we need that AGW and the world wide drum beat for "action" and $ is an attempt to bury the west?

My only question is, why are the Rat voters, most of whom are basic hard working class types, in favor of crippling their own economy to the advantage of their Chinese - low income slave labor - competitors?

China insisted Friday the U.S. and other wealthy nations should bear the burden of curbing global warming, saying the problem was created by their lavish way of life.

Perhaps the Chinese are right. We should curb our "lavish way of life" by stopping all imports from China. Of course, then the Chinese would suffer mass unemployment and possibly another revolution.

If you pronounce that phonetically it doesn't sound very nice.

"I think there is much room for the United States to think whether it's possible to change (its) lifestyle and consumption patterns in order to contribute to the protection of the global climate," he said.

OK, we'll think about it.

(Think. Think. Think.)

Done.

Uh, no. We thought about it and decided not to change.

It just occurred to me why they are having this important conference in Bali. (Click here, and here for reason.)

China knows the problem is bogus and was invented by Western politicians and other parasites on the oil industry. The West should resolve the problem themselves.

I always enjoy that protest signs anywhere in the world, are always printed in perfect English

[Always Right]

There is no such thing as “indiginous people”. We all came from Africa.

Yep, and likewise we should all be able to claim we are African-Americans.

[exit82]

I just turned all the lights on in my house. Screw ‘em.

Maybe Krakatoa will erupt during the conference.

That would be a fitting end to these bozos.

What makes Kyoto a dead letter is China and India's refusal to accept binding CO2 targets. They are not going to accept a second class economy just to ease the guilty consciences of affluent Western environmentalists.

In U.S. News and World Report awhile ago they had a little tiny blurb on coal mine fires in China. (The coal catches fire underground and will burn forever - well tens of years at least). Anyway, the CO2 from coal mine fires in China (no doubt poor mining and fire-fightined techniques) is more than the amount of C02 put out by U.S. vehicle and industrial sources combined!!!
