Outta the park. Here's a great article on the Johannesburg "summit." Apparently, it's such a farce even the eco-Left can't spin their way out of it.
Great article that you linked.
"But at the same time the Greens have also become more sophisticated. They have massive influence in the halls of the United Nations. This isn't because they are right, but because their power agenda fits in with the agenda of the Third World despots that dominate that world body. This alone is a good reason for the US getting out of the UN immediately. I'm still inclined to think the UN should be relocated to some suitable African city like Harare so they can see first hand the results of their policies."
