Well, well, cause much of the problem and then complain (set up for more bucks to share?)
It was this very world body (decayed as it is)that structured the great big hoax of global warming that caused/allowed the eco-freaks and the politicians they control to start with the ethanol and its related environmental destruction.

Better the precious rain forest fall than our "pristine" ANWAR?

And now the EU is threatening to kick off a tariff war (think depression) if we don't capitulate and sign "Son of Kyoto"

Not to worry about that though, all three of our potential illustrious leaders have already pulled their Lord Chamberlain imitation on this phoney issue (son of Kyoto)- this time the headline for history to mock is "We have green in our time"

What fools we mortals be, to be led by such destructive but noisy forces. Is there no sanity left?

Tlaloc,

Have heart. I am sure that it is just the case of the stopped clock. No portent of an impending apocalypse.

OMG!

Two posts in a row where I agree with YAJ. This is getting scary.

That’s always been the conundrum in the “no blood for oil” dictum. For most us here in the U. S. a doubling in the price of oil is an inconvenience or, at most, causes us to tighten our belts a little (some of us could use it). In many countries a doubling in the price of oil brings starvation and disaster.

How is that a conundrum? It's not like us spilling our blood keeps their oil prices down...

Just a thought, but given that the western economies are hurt by the increase in fuel costs (thus making them harder to provide the charity), wouldn't it make sense to go to the people who are benefiting from the increase in fuel costs?

For those who think the UN is the answer to all questions, what is the UN doing to get the energy exporters to pony up the money?
