“The U.N. Environment Program said greening the world’s economy would cost as little as a few tenths of global GDP annually over 30 years and would be a driving force for innovation, new businesses and employment.”

You better be right...’cause we’ll be calling you on that promise and heaven help you if you’re wrong.

Are we not carbon-based life forms? However, if General Ban wants to lead out by completely eliminating his CO2 emissions, I will be glad to see how it works and possibly follow his example if it doesn’t hurt his health.

“Our world is in the grip of a dangerous carbon habit,”

Deja vu all over again.

This is a replay of the criminalization of the tobacco industry. Carbon is still legal but lets increasingly tax its use until it’s unaffordable.

Is an SKS carbon neutral enough to stop the idiots from invading my country? Don't need them to decide what is good for me. Clue, it won't be a white flag, or surrender monkey, kiss the UN’s a$$, useful idiot, if that's what they're expecting. Somehow, I can't imagine America laying down for this BS!

...all plant life on Earth most affected. (Every hear of photosynthesis? ...as if every CO2 effort mankind could possibly do might modify things in a way that plants world-wide won’t compensate for in just a few years or less)

Says UN bigshot Ban Kaboom “let prohibit all industry and production and implement an unproven theory. By doing this we will not have unequal wealth between rich and poor. In our progessive future, everyone will be poor insuring equality. Uh, er that is except for the few fortunates, like me, who need to maintain a very high standard of living to show the poor how awful things would be with too many rich people.”

I believe it's an activity more commonly known as "breathing." I can't tell you how many times I've tried to kick the habit, but you'd be amazed how quickly withdrawal sets in.

“CO2 Kick the Habit.”

M’kay. And what will all the trees and vegetation live on? Does anyone ever ask that question?

What’s the old quip crap like this makes me think about: “Instead of a Fountain of Youth, could we focus on trying to find the Fountain of Smart?”

“CO2 Addiction” means you can have as many kids as you want, you are free to travel when and where you want, you can purchase nutritious food sufficient to feed you and your family to be healthy and grow, you are free to set comfortable temperatures in your home, you can enjoy leisure activities like sports and skiing, you can have a well-lit home at night with plenty of hot water for bathing and cleaning and you enjoy having products delivered to your door from all over the world.

All of this will come to an abrupt end if these radical kooks around the globe succeed in jamming their agenda down our throats.
