China, India, Three Other Nations, Threaten Copenhagen Walkout
December 1 2009 (LPAC)--China, India, South Africa, and Brazil have signed a draft declaration which includes these nations' non-negotiable demands for the Copenhagen climate summit in December, and they threaten to walk out together, along with Sudan, if they are not met. The declaration was drafted by Beijing, and Prime Minister Wen Jiabao called a previously unannounced meeting in Beijing Nov. 27 with the outspoken Indian Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh, Brazilian Presidential Advisor Marcel Fortuna Biato, South African Environment Minister Buyelwa Sonjica, and the Sudanese representative of the G77 nations, who were in China for consultations.
After the meeting, Ramesh emphasized that the draft declaration includes agreement to walk out of Copenhagen, if necessary, to protect their national interests. "We will not exit in isolation. We will co-ordinate our exit if any of our non-negotiable terms is violated. Our entry and exit will be collective," Ramesh said. "This BASIC draft fully meets India's goals and aspirations. We hope it is made the basis of discussions at the conference." The "non-negotiables," he said, are that countries would never accept legally binding emissions cuts, unsupported mitigation actions, international measurement, reporting and verification of unsupported mitigation actions, or the use of climate change as a trade barrier, The Hindu reported Nov 29.
A Capitol Hill office told us accurately Tuesday, "This could make the whole thing a dead letter!"
My list of reasons to move to India semi-permanently keeps getting longer. At this point, the only thing really keeping me here is the child custody arrangement with my daughter. I don’t want to give her up.
Flush Copenhagen!!
SHAZAAAMMMM!!!
—if I was twenty years younger, Columbia would be my choice-—
Brazil, China, and India represent 40% of the world’s population.
They know Zero must accede to all their demands, else Cap’n’Tax will die.
I dunno. With Venezuela that close, I’m not sure I’d want to risk that, no matter what my age.
As an aside, has anyone ever noticed that Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana are never mentioned, anywhere, yet every other country in South America is in the news regularly?
How far we've fallen. Yet another humiliation by following these lemmings over the cliff, compliments of our pretender-in-chief.
legally binding There goes 0bamas single world Government idea.
unsupported mitigation actions Like cap and trade?
use of climate change as a trade barrier There goes the administrations enforcement clause.
If they were at all serious, they wouldn’t even consider being there at all. After all the only reason for going is to take part in the vast scam.
I cant believe I am going to say this....as an Economic American I got to hand it to the ChiComs and India for the stand they are taking against the Global Warming Hoax.
Lets hope other nations join in with them
It is odd that we have to rely on these countries to protect our interests. I am thankful that someone is protecting our interests. The rats are determined to sell out our interests. These are the same type of conditions that a Bush administration would have demanded. Unfortunately, Obama will agree to these conditions for these countries but bind us to the yoke of international Marxism.
Has anyone ever told that the entire inhabitable area of India has an overwhelming stench of raw sewage? They're more than a century behind us in sanitation and sewage treatment standards. Most of the 3rd world countries are, but India has a enormous population.
IOW—the economy-killing “rules” shouldn’t apply to the biggest polluters on the planet. How convenient.
My wife’s family is from there, and I have been there. It’s not as bad as you say (at least, I never noticed any overwhelming stench, and I was in New Delhi and a smaller city on the east coast). And even if it isn’t common, I can still get a proper septic system put in if I want one (and can pay). I do have an edge, in that my wife’s family is politically connected, so I have access that the average person might not get. Plus, having been in the military, I have had to cope with more adversity in living conditions than many ordinary citizens.
Now I’m wondering who from our Country is going to go over
and apologize, because this is one time and one time only
that an apology is needed. This is so embarrassing. Paging Sarah Palin - tell them we will be better in 3 more years!!
