If I promise not to build and operate a Besemer converter, will they pay me money?

[SlowBoat407]

I was going to open an auto manufacturing plant and not make any cars. I’ll make billions!!!!

[Daryl L.Hunter]

The reason it has been so cold in America recently is because our biggest hot air spewers and dangerous CO2 emitters are in Copenhagen giving speeches.

[Thrownatbirth]

It doesn’t take Climategate to destroy this lunacy. Sheer greed will suffice.

Ha ha.

And I promise not to build a huge coal fired electricity plant ... so no electricity for everyone! Yay !!!

And I’ll ride to work on my electric skateboard!

Or my free government $6,400 electric golf cart!!!!

BTW where do I line up to get my carbon $$$ check???

[GeronL]

Are they still exempting China and countries with open sewers?

lol.

This has never been about the environment.

[Godwin1]

Goodbye deadbeats! Time to wrap this conference up and return home. A bullet dodged.

IMHO God does indeed love traditional America. Third World dingbats remind of the 60’s riots in Newark, NJ. The idiots ran out and burned down their own neighborhoods. In this case, the idiots are killing the golden goose of Tax and Cap America because they would be required to improve their industrial emissions as well. They don’t seem to understand there would be no meaningful plan—let alone will—to enforce the nonsense. Just look at all the so-called tough sanctions have done to curb N. Korean and Iranian nuclear ambitions.

You’re right, of course, this was never about the environment. It’s always been about punishing American success.

Thirty years ago, I participated in a UN group to write international brake standards. Herding a thousand cats would have been easier. For example, one of the most rational participants was a communist professor from Yugoslavia. I can’t imagine that the Copenhagen participants could even agree on what time it is.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Thirty years ago, I participated in a UN group to write international brake standards."

And to think, this was originally the brainchild of one of our idiot Presidents. The stupid UN coming out of the ashes of WW II and the League of Nations.

FOX: LUNTZ WHITE WASH UNDERWAY on GW/CC Fraud.

Luntz has nassage the numbers breaking them down in a way that is a rival to MIKE’S NATURE TRICK

Herding a thousand cats is easy. Just get in front of them with a nice fish. The problem with COP15 is that they sense the fish is being taken away, with reduced prospects for Cap&Trade passage in the US.

Heavily influenced by the traitor and Soviet spy Alger Hiss.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Heavily influenced by the traitor and Soviet spy Alger Hiss."

Oh, didn't you know. That was all lies. Them and the Rosenburgs were all framed by those mean old congressmen on HUAC. They were doing terrible things to our citizens. It's free speech to work for the overthrow of your country.

[Heliand]

I’m promising not to build the worlds largest Coking plant on our family’s property north of Pittsburgh. That must be worth something, right?

[Marty62]

I agree.
When Soros crawls out from under his rock to demand more money. IT’S ABOUT THE MONEY!

[NaughtiusMaximus]

I would buy all the coke you promise not to produce for my Besemer converter that I promise not to build. That means we've both passed up a million dollar deal in the name of ecological responsibility. That ought to get us a generous settlement.

[Heliand]

We need somebody to not open up a limestone quarry to feed our non-existant besemer converter, and also someone to not open an iron ore mine.

I’m also promising not to build a railroad to any of these facilties to not move the materials around to ensure we meet our cap-n-trade goal of not producing steel and coke.

Mamadou Honadia...was still unhappy that industrialized countries weren't giving longer-term financial commitments to poorer states.

"We need to see developed nations give us a plan of what (financial) transfers will come in five years, ten years and how much over the years ahead, and we aren't seeing that," he said. A Nigerian delegation official said earlier Monday that a key reason for the walkout was under funding from rich nations. He said the EU offer for just over €7 billion in short-term funding was "pathetic."

They are not even trying to hide this scam anymore. This is like an all out smash and grab robbery.
