India, China object to Bali U.N. climate draft
Reuters - 12 minutes ago
NUSA DUA, Indonesia (Reuters) - India and China objected on Saturday to a draft deal at U.N. talks in Bali to launch negotiations on a global pact by 2009 to fight climate change, saying rich nations should do more to lead the way.
After overnight talks lasting beyond a planned Friday deadline, India told a 190-nation meeting that it wanted changes to a final text to strengthen the role of rich nations in providing clean technology and finance to help them fight global warming.
"This is completely unacceptable", a source close to the Chinese delegation said. Soon after resuming on Saturday morning, the talks were suspended to try to resolve the tangle.
But Dutch Environment Minister Jacqueline Cramer told Reuters the European Union, which backed a draft text presented earlier, said the Indian demands were "unacceptable to the EU".
If approved, a draft decision would launch two years of talks on a sweeping new long-term treaty to involve all nations and succeed the U.N.'s Kyoto Protocol.
When we something something to the UN that I can’t talk about online.
?
After insulting the USA and that brave man, Steven Harper in Canada for calling them on their money grab and saying Canada won't sign any deal in which all nations must take part equally to reduce emissions of "green house gases?
I say screw you China, India, you are the worlds worst polluters, we do enough by buying your crap. When you expand your economy, do it in a CLEAN way, or else we will put tariffs on your dirty- made by polluting- garbage products.
“....changes to a final text to strengthen the role of rich nations in providing clean technology and finance to help them fight global warming.”
“finance” being the word I took most notice of. Typical. It always comes down to being given a handout with turd world countries. We are running a huge deficit, China has billions in dollars and STILL they think we should pay. Screw them.
Read that as "This doesn't hurt the economies of the west nearly enough to suit our agenda..."
"Canada won't sign any deal in which all nations are not required take part equally to reduce emissions of "green house" gases"
It’s no secret that India and China are opposed to any climate treaty that requires them to participate.
“The U.S., Australia, India and China are aware of the hoax.”
Australia has now been taken over by Gore-bots. Insanity is on the march.
They were aware from the beginning, but under Kyoto they had a free ride under "developing nation" status so they went along. I think this means the free ride might be threatened, and as I predicted they did a 180 on the subject.
As a former resident of the great (albeit, socialist) and glorious Garden State, I wish I know what you were referring to. I’m doing my best to relocate back to the state … and the smell of cordite might be wonderful to smell in the morning (to quote a famous movie line), I can’t, for the life of me, understand your reference?
Private mail is acceptable.
“The only people who would be hurt by abandoning the Kyoto Protocol would be several thousand people who make a living attending conferences on global warming.”
- Professor Kirill Kondratyev, Russian Academy of Sciences
Cordite? What are you going to do? Shell them with some old, leftover, WWI & II British munitions? Cordite...yeah, right. Your cordite smells like bravo sierra, to me.
In other words, give me free stuff and pay me. It's the kind of stuff I've come to expect from the homeland of Indra "middle finger" Nooyi.
That's all it boils down to. Money.
It has nothing to do with actually reducing so called "greenhouse gases". It\s about a massive transfer of wealth, which is why all these turd world dictators are so hungry for it.
Even though it's so painfully obvious, the media still will not acknowledge this. Shows where these elite media owners hang out- with those global government liberals at the UN.
