"This is not charity, it is an investment in our collective future," said British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Spoken like a true collectivist.

Since we (the US) are so wonderful, we should propose to forgive 220 billion in foreign loans to all of our former USA colonies in Africa, Asia, and South America.

Oh yea, we did not have colonies that stole their wealth and insured poverty like Spain, Great Britain, Holland, Portugal, France, Germany, etc…..

But, doesn't it sound Good! It is a liberal idea to sound wonderful, say you care about the poor, while you gorge on a huge banquet (as in what is taking place in South Africa right now) but actually do nothing to solve anything. This way you can keep saying how much you care while accomplishing nothing. Makes you feel good inside as you eat the lobsters, drink the wine, and partake in the pastries.

My understanding is that any electrical generation that requires the use of super-batteries for storage is actually not clean. They hide the environmental dirtiness that comes from production, maintenance, and disposal of toxic battery components.

Anyone know if that's true? And how dirty are the batteries? (It's a given that they're dirty; we're not allowed to put them in landfills.)

"No country should be allowed to take the law into their own hands," especially the United States, "because they are the only super power in the world today, and they must be exemplary in everything they do," he said

Maybe it's just me, but this UN creepshow is really getting vocal, and annoying, and I don't recall it being like this during Clinton's reign, wonder why.

Yikes! When I read the title, "World Leaders Throw Their Weight Behind Push to Fight Poverty," thought I was about to read a story about Jesse Jackson and his shakedown coalition.

Hmmmm....anybody know where the reverend is these days anyway?

[Trteamer]

I just bought a U.N. flag to wipe my boots on.

The enviro-wacko's are supposed to sound pissed off after this conference. That way they can solicit more money. They are in the BUSINESS of crying. This is a multi-billion dollar business they are in.

"World Leaders Throw Their Weight Behind Push to Fight Poverty, Preserve Environment."

What weight?

[Kaslin]

World Leaders Throw Their Weight Behind Push to Fight Poverty

This is a joke isn't it?

[Valin]

And blah blah blah.

They also committed to reducing the number of people living without sanitation from 2 billion to 1 billion by 2015, diplomats said.

Are the diplomats are going to kill a billion people to achieve this goal?

[After more than a week of bargaining, the European Union lost its push for targets on the use of wind and solar energy - the last major sticking point in the summit's action plan. ]

I don't recall anyone saying that the European Union could not use as much wind and solar energy as they desired.

[Stultis]

Good. The global nannys' bid to intefere with, and thereby hamper, trends such as poverty reduction, environmental improvement, the move to cleaner energy sources, etc, that are happening anyway, incidental to economic growth and development, have been nuetered for the most part.

A key to this was developing countries speaking up and saying that they want free trade, more efficient agriculture, and a modern energy infrastructure. Americans can be proud that our representatives were there to stand up to the econazis and other elements of the poverty lobby, the hypocrites who want to keep the little brown people in their mud huts and save them from the horrors of "overconsumption".

[Kermit]

Reading the media is like reading the old Pravda, the opposite of what they say is the truth. Here's the truth:

World Leaders Throw Their Weight Behind Push to Fight Environment, Preserve Poverty

[anymouse]

World Leaders Throw Their Weight Behind Push to Fight Poverty, Preserve Environment.

Well after dining on lobster and prime rib they probably have considerable weight to throw around. :)

Maybe they count fighting their way through the Johannasberg slums to the oppulance of the resort hosting this sham conference.

I guess there idea of preserving the environment is adding tons of garbage and litter to those same slums to deal with.

The debachery and hypocracy of this conference is only lost on these losers and the fools that follow them. The rest of the World sees it as a farce of epic proportions.
