Bolivian President Evo Morales on Thursday proposed a world referendum on climate change during his speech at the 15th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change that is underway in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Speaking to the plenary of the summit, Morales said that discussing the effects of global warming and not the causes is hypocritical.
Prensa Latina news agency reports that the new initiative of the Bolivian leader includes five questions that all citizens of the world should answer to determine the steps that governments should take.
The questions suggested by Evo Morales are the following: Should the civil society be in harmony with nature? Should the excessive consumerist habits of today’s world be changed? Should the emission of polluting gases be reduced to 1%? Should today’s huge military budgets be earmarked for the fight against climate change? And, should there be an International Court of Justice to defend Mother Earth?
The Bolivian head of state, who said that rich countries should pay climate change reparations, added: “Our objective is to save humanity and not just half of humanity. We are here to save Mother Earth.” “The real cause of climate change is the capitalist system. If we want to save the earth then we must end that economic model. Capitalism wants to address climate change with carbon markets. We denounce those markets and the countries which [promote them]. It’s time to stop making money from the disgrace that they have perpetrated,” he continued.
“Let’s eradicate poverty and bring in climate justice. If capitalism resists we have to do battle with it. If we do not, then mankind, the greatest creation in the universe, will disappear,” he concluded.
Watermelon Environmentalism = Green outside but Commie Red to the Core.
And for his information I am a Texan and a US Patriot, NOT a CITIZEN OF THE WORLD!
Blaming Global Warming on Capitalism is as stupid as blaming Global Warming on Socialism, even if you’re a believer of AGW. This implies that socialist countries don’t emmit co2
“The Bolivian head of state, who said that rich countries should pay climate change reparations, added: “Our objective is to save humanity and not just half of humanity. We are here to save Mother Earth.”
- You just can’t make this stuff up. It honestly sounds like some wacky Woody Allen movie. I expect Groucho Marx to make an appearance very soon.
And..Bolivia! As the Sundance Kid said, “What could they have here..that you could possibly wanna buy!”
The fruit of capitalism is money. Honor the commies by never giving them any money.
This is all because we’ve got a commie president. That’s the only reason these mooks think they won’t get laughed off the stage. This is their big chance.
They’re overreaching. As usual.
How do these stupid fools get into such positions of power? They are no better than K Street pimps too stupid to tie their own shoes.
What?! Evo is a Cocaine dealer and farmer. How does his business thrive if not for capitalism?
These chumps will say anything for attention. “Send me money!” “For the children”.
[[Speaking to the plenary of the summit, Morales said that discussing the effects of global warming and not the causes is hypocritical.]]
And then he goes on to IGNORE the cause of warming, and continues to imply that man is invovled DESPITE al lthe scientific evidence that proves that we’re not to blame
He started off with his suggestion on the right foot- but then blam- right back to ‘busienss as usual’ for the scam artists- blaming man when hte facts show that nature causes warming
Morales = Baby Chavez.
I was born and raised in Alabama.I live in Texas and consider myself to be a Texan. I will not be told what to do by any world government these idiots are trying to create!!
What’s telling is that Russia is demanding hundreds of billions (some say trillions) of dollars in carbon credits (Because of the collapse of the USSR) to go along with the Copenhagen treaty as well as an exemption. China is asking for an exemption because of its population control scheme.
Well of course he wants a vote.
Corrupting elections is how dictators like him rise to power.
What unspeakable evil Al Gore hath wrought!
Man, these little tinpot losers in South America are feeling their oats with zero in office. Amazing!!!
He’s just another money-grubbing, lying little thief from a banana republic trying to shake down the west - mainly the U.S., of course.

Texas is not where you were born, but a State of Mind, Heart and Attitude.
Goes something like this>
“Leave us alone to live our lives in peace and we will get along fine, if that is not satisfactory, we will deal with it.”
We have some of the best neighbors in the world here, and most of them feel the same way.
Most of my ancestors were burned out of Alabama during Reconstruction. They went GTT.
Some of my ancestors were in Texas during the Republic.
