A complete and utter rort to be paid for by us, the inhabitants of a surviving Western economy.

While the world struggles with economic survival, we are asked to part with 100 billion dollars PER YEAR for loony regimes such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo which has a Corruption Index approaching zero.

The organisations at Durban included the Girl Guides Association and various unknown church and 'green' organisations as well as vested political and financial interests. So much for a conference with 'World Leaders'

We lack a leader with the integrity to stand up for the country against the demands for us to be a world citizen i.e. cash cow for dysfunctional regimes.

Well sung Maestro Michael ... now let the chorus begin.

Oh, I see it has.

And now we have newly released satellite based research showing that the excess CO2 is coming not from the the developed world, but from the very third world countries, that demand this money. The developed world is the carbon sink of the planet.

So now I'm sure bonmot & company will not only demand reparations from the third world be paid to the developed world, to enable us to continue disposing of all their CO2, but will also demand all that research money, wasted on a fools gold errand, be returned to it's rightful owners, the taxpayer.

Heard a good one yesterday, at our community bar B que.

Question, Why are climate scientists demanding that they be buried only 6 inches down?

Answer, Because it's too hard holding your hand out from six feet down!

Example of Confirmation Bias:

>> And now we have newly released satellite based research showing that the excess CO2 is coming not from the the developed world <<

Hasbeen, care to provide a link Hasbeen to this "excess CO2", or are you just blowing smoke?

Example of Motivational Reasoning:

>> The developed world is the carbon sink of the planet <<

ROFLWT, a much better joke if it were not so sad.

Incidently oh great one that has gone before; if one includes China and India, one is not surprised - is one?

Hopefully once the money transfers are actually tied to tangible events rather than being disguised as 'research', it will be easier to insist on some objective proof that these events are actually occurring. Woe betide the first activist who tries to demonstrate 'global warming' in the International Court of Justice!
