China and India back out of Copenhagen Conferance




Silly western nations of course China and India are not on board, but The Won, will do it for our own good ....


Quote:
EDITORIAL EXEGESIS

“With less than two months to go before the big Copenhagen
Conference on global warming, two major nations have said ‘no thanks’ to the no-growth agenda. For that reason alone, so should we. Following a deal signed late Thursday between China and India, anything we might agree to do in Copenhagen is likely moot anyway. The two mega-nations -- which together account for nearly a third of the world’s population -- said they won’t go along with a new climate treaty being drafted in Copenhagen to replace the Kyoto Protocol that expires in 2012. They’re basically saying no to anything that forces them to impose mandatory limits on their output of greenhouse gas emissions.
Other developing nations, including Mexico, Brazil and South Africa, will likely reject any proposals as well. The deal was already in trouble. Three weeks ago, the Group of 77 developing nations met in Thailand to discuss what they wanted to do about global warming. Their answer:
nothing. William Hawkins, writing in the American Thinker, quotes a piece in China’s Science Times journal that sums up how China -- and other developing nations -- feel: ‘Why do the developed countries put an arguable scientific problem on the international negotiations table?’ the article’s author, Wang Jin, asks. ‘The real intention is not for the global temperature increase, but for the restriction of the economic development of the developing countries.’
They see clearly what the rest of us seem to miss -- that, for all its bad science, the Copenhagen Conference is about the world’s Lilliputians tying down its Gullivers, not about global warming at all. So, thanks to China and India, Copenhagen is dead -- just as Kyoto was when it was signed in 1992, though no one knew it at the time. Without them, no global treaty on climate change will be workable.” --Investor’s Business Daily

I guess that just means that the won will be charging the american citiz,,, subjects more to make up for the Chinese.

That's because man made global warming/climate change is nothing more than a theory, unsupported by science, at all.

Forget about China and India. What I want to know is, has the Sun decided whether or not it was gonna show up in Copenhagen. I mean, do we have any idea whether or not it intends to sign on to any deal that gets worked out?

Now, THAT is a good question.
