Britain Joins Australia In Rejecting Climate Compsensation
Canada Free Press ^ | 11/21/2013 | Dr. Benny Peiser

Posted on 11/21/2013 8:28:54 AM PST by rktman

Britain sent a blunt message to developing countries yesterday that it would not give in to their demands for compensation for weather-related disasters, which, many scientists say, climate change has worsened. A group of 130 countries, including China, India and Brazil, are demanding that a new UN institution be created to measure “loss and damage” from storms, such as the typhoon in the Philippines that killed several thousand and destroyed or damaged more than 700,000 homes.—Ben Webster, The Times, 21 November 2013

China produces far more "greenhouse" gases than any other country, but they want to be on the receiving end of the extortion.

That alone tells you everything you need to know about the "climate change" con.

Rather interesting developments taking place on this issue, as the Brits finally are waking up as the Australians did recently as the new prime minister assumed office.
Ernest. I'm sure your keeping up on the AGW issues, but just in case this new Brit revelation has not come by your eyes. No response required.

Probably Russia, India and Brazil too. I am glad they told the rest of the world to stuff it. I wish we could get the Obungler to do the same, but I suspect he won't do it.

Could it possibly be that some sanity has been injected back into governmental type brains?

Won’t happen here, of course.

Typhoons and other natural phenomena are acts of God but the poor economies of Brazil India and China are due to the willful acts of man. Each one of these countries, every one of them, has been set back by their experiments in socialism. Now they expect the capitalist countries (relatively speaking) to save them from their own folly by summoning up the global warming hoax.

There is no end to the wonderful uses a liberal can find for climate change.

Send them a note that reads:

“Sorry, we no longer believe your scam.
We in the developed countries know too much about Science for this to have been believed for very long.

Try a new hoax.”
