Climate change summit takes political twist
Buenos Aires Herald ^ | December 10, 2014 | By Fermín Koop

The real part of the climate change negotiations started yesterday in Lima.

Bolivian President Evo Morales took the spotlight at the United Nations summit as he pointed the finger at developed countries for their responsibility for climate change and suggested creating a world court to judge climate crimes.

“Developing countries are the ones that struggle the most because of climate change even though they are the least responsible for it,” Evo Morales said, speaking alongside UN heads and several ministers. “After 30 years of negotiations, we haven’t reached any important climate change agreement. We have failed and now we are on the verge of the destruction of the Earth and the disappearance of the human species.”

Morales criticized developed countries harshly for “stealing the future” of the Latin American people and “committing genocide” against the Earth.

“We don’t know when it’s winter and when it’s summer in Bolivia. We get up in the morning with really high temperatures and the rural families that don’t have air-conditioning don’t know what to do. I get calls from them every day,” Morales said.

Morales said Latin America should have its own version of the World Court with an area focused on environmental crimes in order to “free the region” from developed countries. Furthermore, he said current economic policies should be changed and asked to put an end to capitalism as the environment “can’t be saved” if people “keep running after the money.”

“I ask the world to draw an agreement based on the protection of the earth and not based on capitalism. World leaders have to listen to the indigenous communities and take decisions based on them,” Morales said. “Developed countries have been stealing from us since colonial times and now they want to steal our future. But we won’t let them.”

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

“I ask the world to draw an agreement based on the protection of the earth and not based on capitalism."

As if we needed more proof that "climate change" is not about "climate" at all, but about imposing international communism.

suggested creating a world court to judge climate crimes.

I suspect this criminal court will be like my local traffic court. "Crimes", both great and trivial, are all resolved by the payment of an outrageously large fine.

Let the political purging begin.

It appears the boy holding the sign longs for the good old Neanderthal days. “Progressive”. Yeah, right. There is nothing “progressive” about communism.

By changing the law of thermodynamics.

The Bolivian presidente has so little to do that he takes complaint calls from yokels in rural areas about not having A/C?

The Eugenicists do not want third world countries developing reliable energy sources.

That would include:
WHO
UN
State Dept.
Envirowhackos
EPA
etc...

57 degrees in Bolivia with a high of 61.
I thought he said they have really high temperatures when they get up?
