Not really...the last time people worked was when many countries were colonized...when they chased the Brits and other Europeans out...that’s when it became the sh*t hole it is today. And at one time those countries were becoming a civilized society.

climate change was already triggering widespread migration in Africa

Somewhere, Sam Kinison is smiling.

uncertainty about the future of Kyoto was "creating a lot of mistrust and resentment within these negotiations"

Translation: Gimme gimme gimme.

The term “developing” is an interesting one.

Look at Nigeria, a country vastly rich in oil and other natural resources. They only reason they are a “developing” country, lots of poor people, is because of gross mismanagement and corruption over the years. They’d be filthy rich if they’d had a stable, western-style democracy.

So we’re supposed to award corruption with exemption from the treaty? That sounds bass ackwards. Maybe after a couple terms of Chicago-style corruption this country can qualify as “developing” too.

The Western world has for decades poured buckets and buckets of money into Africa and nothing much constructive came of it. Pouring more money into it won’t help under whatever guise, climate or otherwise.

The African countries are looking for handouts and the US (via the crooks at the UN) are the easiest marks for their climate change gambit. It won’t cost them anything other than to send some people to the UN to collect our tax dollars. No wonder they are frustrated.

LOL
Yea, has to be galling as all get-out.

BUT, doesn't mean there won't be [many] other opportunities, either. LOL

The Nigerians are in it for what they are always in it for ...a scam.”

The Nigerians are world class scammers. On ebay they’re in a league all by themselves.

IT’S NOT ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING FOLKS.

It never has been. It has always been about control (and, of course, Al Gore making lots and lots of cash).

You can cite as many statistics as you like, it won't matter because GW is a religion; and, no amount of actual facts or science will get in the way of their belief system.

agreed. it may sound heartless but the so called “western” world has now flushed trillions of $ into the African toilet in the last 50 years. did it change anything? No! they still blame every of their problems on us.
Did they improve (like every nation has done after we really helped them?) No they havn´t. i say if they want it so desperate let them starve.at least this will stop the constant blaming.

So it does. I did not see her when I posted it, was wearing my sunglasses (they are lightly tinted but I find they help relieve my eyestrain i get sometimes).

I don’t recall what her position is on that exactly but I don’t think she is calling for regulations to solve any problem. I won’t post it again because I don’t think she accurately fits in with that bunch. Thank you for the heads up.

And this is the worthless bunch that Pres. Bush gave $22 billion tax dollars to to combat AIDS. If 1/100th of that ever provided medical care for AIDS patients, I’d be surprised.

Africa has to built from the ground up. Any climate-guilt payments will be gobbled up by the insane dictators that rule most African nations. Why should I give those demons a dime of my tax money?

Where do you think all that 'foreign aid' cash went? They were funneled straight into the hands of the crackpot dictators, their loyal cronies, their Swiss bank accounts and their military-industrial complexes.

They are all going home, to author a new set of emails which begin "Dear Sir,

You have seen the man-made global warming talks collapse, and I am pleased to inform you that we have chosen you to be the Nigerian Global Warming account intermediary which will cause us to give you a cap and trade deposit of $30 million..."

The third world has liberalism figured out.

They want to be with the group making the rules. Not the group living under those rules.

The first thing all the African countries will do with all the money is buy new Toyota Land Cruisers for all the members of the govt and legislature and their wives(multiple). Those will replace the ones that are burnt out because they have never changed the oil..
