Climate Conference Generates Nothing But Hot Air ….. continued …

I read someplace but really can not confirm, that the millionaire gas bags at this get together has over a thousand limos for their use. They also had like 34 thousand ppl with em. Aids, secretaries etc.  Then some (Like Tony Blair) flew in on private jets to make speeches.  What. They couldn’t use buses? Share planes?
Personally, I wouldn’t either if the folks footing the bill were happy enuff with how I was spending their money.

Turn down the heat on warming

By Peter McKay

Half of the world’s population - probably more - don’t believe our carbon emissions damage the planet anyway. Far more haven’t even given consideration to the matter.

Even those who do believe we’re responsible for global warming are hopelessly divided. Some think we contribute to it while not being the real cause. Others think we’re the real cause but it’s already too late to do anything about it.

The BBC tells us the science is clear about the dangers, but there were plenty of reasons to doubt this, even before we saw the emails indicating that the experts responsible were tailoring their reports to fit the ‘we’re all doomed’ scenario.

What is clear is the opportunity ‘global warming’ presents for posturing by politicians. Desperate to be elected PM before he’s put out to grass, Gordon Brown said: ‘I came here wanting the most ambitious deal possible. We have made a start.’

He ‘showed great leadership at Copenhagen’ say his supporters. But, according to The Observer, it was Energy Secretary Ed Miliband who salvaged the deal ‘just as it appeared on the verge of being rejected’.

‘Even those who do believe we’re responsible for global warming are hopelessly divided’

President Barack Obama’s spin doctors were talking up his performance, but in Europe it was seen to have been poor.

As long as I mentioned Hot Air, here’s the Brit PM who has the answer that’s gonna save us all.  His own country is in the crapper but he’s got the answer for saving the world.  Read All About It! paper,paper ... whoops. get lost in nostalgia from time to time.

Copenhagen climate summit: plan for EU to police countries’ emissions

Gordon Brown is drawing up plans for the European Union to become a global warming “policeman”, monitoring individual countries’ compliance with carbon-cutting targets.

By James Kirkup, and Louise Gray

The plan emerged from the chaotic Copenhagen conference on climate change, which ended in acrimony and mistrust between world leaders.

The summit was unable to reach a substantive deal on cutting greenhouse gases because of a row over how countries would prove that they are honouring promises to cut their carbon emissions. China in particular objected to any external monitoring of its actions.

NUTS!  Must restart puter ... problems.  see link above for whole article.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
