The success of the major Anglosphere nations at last week's United Nations climate conference in Bali marks the beginning of the end of the age of climate hysteria.

This makes my year complete :-).

Yet on assorted threads posted about multiple articles clearly showing the Bali conference failure, the broad FR response was to wail how spineless Bush had sold out to the forces of Kyoto. Barf alerts and all.

Demands that the rest of the world comply first doesn’t make for a victory. It’s a stalemate. A victory says: “No way ever will we sign a CO2 accord.”

As declared elsewhere recently, we must have the courage to do nothing!

This makes sense because there is nothing we can do to effect climate change one way or another. Of course we could send a spaceship with a delegation (led by Nobel prize winners) to the Sun to effect change at that location, the actual source of climate variation in our solar system.

We have an early Christmas present then, do we not? For me, I plan to use the money set aside to pay for carbon credits to instead purchase Christmas presents for my loved ones!

Since the true goal of environmentalists is not to protect the environment but to wreck western economies, they won’t give a hoot whether or not Asian countries go along with these treaties.

Our environmental Stalins and Lenins will continue trying to wreck the west with or without treaties. They’ll find some other way.

Every waking moment, of every day of all their lives is completely and totally devoted to this economic wrecking.

Secretly, amongst themselves, they are saying: “Treaties? We don’t need no stinking treaties.”

This entire "human control over planetary phenomena" movement is SO absurd, I would laugh out loud - except that the people behind it are very, very dangerous.

It's really their first shot at global propaganda to create, and then manipulate, a worldwide politics (which has never existed) - with the purpose of pulling down the state created by the Founders in 1787-89.

When you see how far they've gotten, based on nothing but lies and fearmongering - it's not funny at all.

I don't think their motives are primarily economic.

Their main wish is to erase national borders and to create planetary government - the economic stuff is just a means to an end.

well, something has to be done....here’s my proposal....

I PROPOSE:

a ban on the use of that carbon spewing atmospheric world poisoner...the AUTOMOBILE.....we do away with it for say 20..no 30 ok 50 years.

BOOM, problem solved...

and if none of the rest of the nations of the world want to throw in with us...i say that we, the citizens of the United suckers of america provide the earth with the global example it needs...

only the U.S. bans IT’S cars for the fifty years.

This will also allow the third world countrys whose cheap labor made the u.s. great in the first place to catch up with us economically....thus providing them with a level playing field which will be good for them until which time we again be begin to opress them....

BHWHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAAH

not to mention..

BLEECHHHHHH

No, it’s only funny in my worst of cynicism. I really had to laugh at the TV commercials asking me to fight CO2 emissions. I kept imagining walking into my home one day and Cato( from Pink Panther, Peter Sellers Inspector Clousseau movies)the diabolical house servant/ secret green environmental nutcase was going to choke me out after the night befores methane/CO2 over the top flatuence emissions. Cue, Blazing Saddles campfire scene please.

My thoughts as well. Our position should be, not now, not ever, regardless of what any other country does.

You don't get it.

Once UN authority over "global" climate (there probably is no such thing) is established, there won't be any more "we" to have "our" position.

The model is the EPA. I live on a lake in New Hampshire. My property has, over the past 20 years, become subject to such a complex web of local, state, and Federal regulation that what "we" think here in town has NOTHING to do with what happens.

It's literally the case that cutting down a fricking TREE (MY fricking tree, BTW) creates a Federal case.

THAT'S what these people are after, on a planetary scale.

The death of the Anglosphere has been greatly exaggerated.

It’s a stalemate.

Democratic U.S. Senator John Kerry. Speaking to reporters at the Bali meeting, he notified the international community that a rejection by China and other emerging economies to cut their own greenhouse gases would make it almost impossible for any U.S. administration to get a new global climate treaty through the U.S. Senate — “even under a Democratic president.”

.
Can’t get much more stale. Wonder what other stalemates are there thinking they represent the US? Lead by example Democrat supporters, stop buying gasoline.
