Evo Morales, Bolivian President, said, "The budget of the United States is 687 billion dollars for defense. And they want to, for climate change -- to save life, to save humanity -- they want to put up 10 billion dollars. This is shameful."

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has also blasted the actions of industrialized countries.

Hugo Chavez, Venezuelan President, said, "In the streets they are saying the following: if the climate was a bank, you would have already saved it. And I think that's true. If the climate was a big capitalist bank, you would have already saved it. You, the rich governments."

Yeah... That's good enough for me.. Here's my $3000.

I rank this right up there with Durban-2. A total BS-fest.
Canada and Harper was flogged over that and it turned out to be the right thing to do. With more and more leaks, I'm sure we'll see this is just a huge scam too and be thankfull we didn't join the long line of useful idiots.

Its time to invite Lord Christopher Monckton to Canada and spend a few million on a "uncensored" CBC televised debate regarding climate change. Time for Suzuki to shine, he owes us that much.

Hec, throw Elizabeth May in there too..

Actually they tried that one time. Suzuki refused the challenge, but there's this guy named, I think it's James Hoggan...he runs a Public Relations firm. He's big in the Suzuki foundation. He also has connections with the site DesmogBlog which runs attack stories against skeptics. Suzuki was too smart to face Monckton and risk almost certain disgrace, so Hoggan fed Monckton the editor of DesmogBlog.

Poor guy. You can see what happened to him here.

Yeah, I know about that. But its time for something more. Something meant directly for the Canadian public, after all. What they are talking about is something that's going to impact us the most, financially.


I'd like to see a debate with the same type of hype that televised election debates carry. Get a few of the best and the brightest fromboth sides, moderated by someone like Paikin. And let them go at it for two hours, uncensored. We deserve at least that. The government has the CBC time to put it to good use for once.

[sandorski]

Well, China and India, at least in principle, have agreed to limitations. Seems to me this addresses at least one issue that many Anti-Kyoto people had. Not much happened beyond that, but it's a start.

[gigs]

Copenhagen = FAIL

[N_Fiddledog]

I don't always agree with Mark Steyn, but even I think he's dead on the money with this one.

Mark Steyn: It's settled; climate circus was a fairy tale

or...

I have a bridge to sell you.

[commanderkai]

Awesome. Absolutely nothing happened and nothing was really agreed to, except that they'll spend millions of dollars to have nice meals and hotels in some fancy Western city somewhere. Brilliant use of taxpayer dollars.

How would that change the radiative properties of a carbon dioxide molecule?

All you get in these debates is the biggest blowhards, the most intractable partisans, who just go at each other. It would resolve the technical issues around global warming the same way a UFC match would.

What chance do you think a scientist--a real scientists, one whose job day in and day out is conducting research--what chance would guy like that have against a Rush Limbaugh? None.

The entire strategy of the AGW so-called "skeptics" is that people won't bother to figure out the facts for themselves, and that they'll listen instead to loud mouth demagogues. So far it's working.

Agreed. This isn't a Popularity contest, as much as Deniers want to make it out to be.

Glad I read the article, I wasn't able to hear it on the news due to my 1977 Buick Skylark backfiring and throwing a cloud of blue smoke into the air...

I can understand being careful, but i mean they should be a role model for the world and give maybe 5 times that. Better than it going to where it was intended

Uh ohhh, you'll get taxed for that, or else you better buy carbon offsets cuz burning wood releases CO2
