"This is a very significant package. None of us likes everything in it. Believe me, there is plenty the United States is not thrilled about," said U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern. But the package captured important advances that would be undone if it is rejected, he told the delegates.

Yes, thank you, so let us all reject the "package" so that we can undo these "important advances."

China and other developing countries had launched ambitious green programs. “We are doing whatever we should do. We are doing things you are not doing. What qualifies you to say things like this,” he said, raising his voice and waving his arm.

ROR! Those Chinese are such kidders!!

Advances in the amount of cash from the U.S. would be my guess.

Who pays for all those folks to have a nice vacation in South Africa?

The UN is advancing their Agenda 21 plan to completely demolish America’s economy.

“Who pays for all those folks to have a nice vacation in South Africa?”

You should know that we are lavishly providing $6 to 7 billion annually to the UN.

So, it's fairly easy for them to travel to Durban, Rio or anywhere else they may please to plot the continued destruction of America.

Why do we tolerate their presence on our soil?

I was stationed in Berlin when the Wall fell. After the reunification I "got" to drive autobahns in East Germany that were previously forbidden to us.

I'd never seen such environmental devastation as I did driving from Berlin down to Munich. All along the East German part of the autobahn trees were dead. Stripped as if they had acid poured on them. It was really quite a sight.

Thanks for your personal account. I was unaware of this. Back then West Germany had a large and influential Green Party that took part in the anti-American protest against Germany getting missiles from us that would be pointed at Russia. Kind of ironic they never protested against the pollution done by the East Germans.

Greenies were communist dupes even back then.

Exactly. If they ever did whine before reunification, I never heard of it.

I think part of the problem was the coal they used. Since not much was upgraded post-WWII many, many apartment buildings still used coal. Coal that was dropped off in front of the apt building for residents to shovel in.

And the coal itself was this soft, nasty stuff that would clog your breathing passages. In the winter time even for those of us that would go over to East Berlin for just a few hours, would return to West Berlin blowing huge chunks of black, congealed coal particles out of our noses. I have no idea how folks lived like that full-time.
