BALI, Indonesia - The human race faces oblivion if it fails to confront global warming, the U.N. secretary-general said Tuesday, as delegates to the U.N. climate conference haggled over a new document strengthening a call for deeper cuts in greenhouse gas emissions by rich nations.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon arrived on the resort island of Bali to preside over the final days of the two-week conference, which aims to set an agenda and deadline for talks that will lead to a climate change pact to succeed the Kyoto Protocol in 2012.
Ban urged quick action as negotiators worked on a final conference decision document. A version obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday included guidelines for industrialized countries to cut their emissions overall by 2020 by between 25 percent and 40 percent.
"The situation is so desperately serious that any delay could push us past the tipping point, beyond which the ecological, financial and human costs would increase dramatically," Ban said in a speech to delegates.
"We are at a crossroad," he added. "One path leads to a comprehensive climate change agreement, the other to oblivion. The choice is clear."

UN Chief: We see $$$ in this for us, and we will stop at nothing to get it.

Ping me if you find one I've missed.
Yes and the solution is to give billions to them.
Now you know why they support it.
Translation: "Do it our way or else...."
Translation: No one will listen to me if I don't convince them that GW is a crisis!
Whenever I say something like: “Oh! We’re all gonna die!” to a GW alarmist, they’ve gotten really mad (can’t stand sarcasm, I guess). Maybe if I just said: “Oh! We’re all on the path to oblivion.”, they’d just nod in agreement. (Of course, if they did nod, a loud rattling noise would ensue.)
“World risks oblivion without deal to battle global warming”
Translation,
“UN faces profit losses if no longer paid to “verify” Chinese carbon credits.”
this is like a cult. I’ll now call Gorebull warmers “ki-moonies”
The UN faces extinction without selling alarmist AGW.
Well, the UN oughta get nice and comfy with the term ‘oblivion’ because they are sliding toward it warp speed!
In addition to that, if they can get protocols in place before the natural cycle begins to cool, they’ll then take credit for the cooling and cement their control over the world economy.
Kyoto... the day that science died!!!
The planet is about to explode. Load the children into space capsules and launch them into space so they land on a farm in Kansas.
The ultimate phony crisis to justify the ultimate power grab.
If the world continues to support and respect the corrupt and anti America U.N — then the world deserves to be burned alive in the global warming inferno...
Why does the MSM ignore all the valid scientific studies showing GW to be a normal, cyclical phenomenon? Hmmm, aganda anyone. Tell that SOB to EAT ME!
So if we it DOES kill us off, who would be here to care after it happens?
Besides, isn't killing off mankind the purpose of some of these Gaia worshipers anyway?
[The planet is about to explode. Load the children into space capsules and launch them into space so they land on a farm in Kansas.]
I was watching the Science Channel this afternoon and some dweeb stated as FACT that we had to introduce pollution onto the surface of Mars to heat it so it will be a home for us when the earth heats too much (in a couple years).
This is NONSENSE!!!! Are we all going crazy?
No, but those who are not find this insanity disquieting. It's like WW I. They weren't sure who they should fight or why, and when it was over they wondered what that was about.
Ya know, the world's been around here for about 5,000,000,000 years, I seriously doubt that it's in any jeopardy.
Not all of us. There are a few logical minds hanging around. Unfortunately we are considered heretics by the GW cultists.
—that’s exactly the way I see it—they’ll claim success either way—if disaster doesn’t occur—”see, what we did helped” and if cooling takes place, again—”we did it”—
NVA: World risks oblivion without deal to battle Middle Eastern nuclear proliferation. Nuclear winter is going to set in well before any profound effects of “glo-ball warming” are experienced.
The Population Bomb
Global Cooling
Nuclear Winter
Florida submerged by 2000...
If its global warming from global nuclear war, than I agree one hundred percent. That is the ONLY capability of mankind that can indeed destroy all life on this planet.
Can’t you see? Gas prices up, SUVs off the roads, we are freezing our butts off.
Algore Bearmanpig has overdunit!
Get UN out of US, let them extort the Chinkyneese.

I hope a Freeper is keeping a collection of quotes from all the warming morons.
Once we enter global cooling, it’ll be fun to reflect on the current insanity.
The oblivion should start with the UN.
Remember Edmund Muskie? Was really strong on Club of Rome, drank the kool-aid, one of the first big names to do so.
That would be an interesting hobby for somebody, and not only for this topic. A lot of oil pricing prophecy has crossed the wires the past couple years, and all of it was either a little or a lot off. Take names.
“Are we all going crazy?”
Nope...I was born that way, but even my dumb, southern redneck arse can see the stupidity...
Wow, the commies and socialists and one-worlders really need the USA’s money to fulfill their grand plans. They are going hysterical.
Personally I want to see the hype increase and start watching heads explode. Too bad that doesn’t actually happen. At least they wouldn’t be so worried by nothing anymore.
Dearest Secretary-General: Is this multiple choice? Oblivion will be fine, thanks.
No surprise - Gorby admitted socialism would take root and work from the environmental movement.
If “oblivion” doesn’t work, try apocalypse.
Stewpid.
Indeed! I think we face oblivion if we don't dump the UN.

I remember Muskie - but not that he fell for "The Club". Thanks for reminding me.
Fact is that if the industrialized countries cut their overall emissions by 40% by 2020 the increased output by the developing world will insure that CO2 concentrations will continue to increase. They know this of course but it doesn't matter because the developed world will be crippled financially and that is all that matters.
