China blasts claim it 'hijacked' climate talks
The Associated Press (hosted on Google) ^ | December 22, 2009

BEIJING — China dismissed Tuesday a British editorial accusing it of "hijacking" the U.N.-sponsored climate talks in Copenhagen as baseless and politically motivated.

British climate change minister Edward Miliband's editorial singled out Beijing as the culprit behind the talks' near collapse.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said the piece seemed designed to sow discord among developing nations.

She said the comments by an individual British politician — not mentioning Miliband by name — were an attempt to "shirk the obligations of developed countries to their developing counterparts and foment discord among developing countries, but the attempt was doomed to fail."

Edward Miliband has the audacity to accuse the Chicoms of 'hijacking' the 'climate change summit' for 'their own purposes'. He's so politically motivated.

At the same time, China is full of BS, as well. China is an economic powerhouse and is simply soaking the UN and those "developed nations" for all the perks they can get while claiming they are a "developing nation". Hell, according to the WTO, the definition of a "developing nation" is both unclear and dependent upon the member countries to announce themselves whether they are a "developed" or "developing". So I suppose, according to China, especially given how they continually flaunted how how modern and advanced a society they were, they consider themselves to be a developed nation still developing.....how quaint.

Have to blame someone, so might as well blame the Chinese.

Reality is the conference was dead upon arrival. It was only when Hillary offered to mobilize some 100 billion a year to help fight “climate change” did some folks wake from their naps.

China could make the case that Zero and Hillary are the two that tried to hijack the talks.

“China could make the case that Zero and Hillary are the two that tried to hijack the talks.”

Indeed, they could and would have great validity, as well.

They all are and they know it too.

This whole post Copenhagen thing is a diversion.

Look, weeks before the Hopenfrauden Summit, the Secretary General of the UN stated the summit was doomed because the principals could not agree in advance. The ChiComs and India were never on board and everyone knew it.

The Rooskies weren't on board and released the climate fraud material.

UK's climate minister, Miliband, in advance of the summit said it would be a failure.

Before Hussein Obama got on the plane, speculation was "would it be worth it" knowing there would be little accomplished.

Everything transpiring post Climate Unchange Summit is bogus.

The Climate Change Hoax is certain, the debate is over.

Indeed! Everything we have seen for the past two weeks is an effort to divert attention from the real story, International Socialist Climate Change Hoax.

Two governments are on record exposing the hoax, Australia and Czech Republic.

Russian clandestine services are suspected of identifying and exposing bogus international climate change science data.

After its bogus science was exposed UN has initiated sweeping reforms concerning climate change. .

"Our" leaders like BO and Hillary are still determined to force us to commit economic suicide. China's and India's leaders are not that crazy.

One thing didn’t fail - Hillary offered on behalf of Obama more US dollars to the World in support of this fraud. The bankrupting of America continues.

The illustration captures the true reality of the Climate Change Religion.

With our unemployment level and our plummeting dollar, we’re also a developing nation. I mean, sheesh, we don’t even have national healthcare! THAT is downright primitive! ;)

Its kinda hilarious that the Globalists cannot agree on this Global Warming/Climate Change fraud. At least the ChiComs know that Global Warming is a Hoax.

Even more telling.....is that all the other nations had to do to get China, India, and others to comply with the Global Warming Hoax was to slap tariffs on countries that do not “comply”. But, since all the Global Warming Hoaxsters are also Free Trader Globalists....that will not happen.

Now...I wonder who took advantage of the discounted hookers? Inquiring minds want to know ;-)

It wasn’t the Chinese who burst into a room to interrupt a private meeting.
