Chicken Little Bull

What is emerging in the climate hoax summit in Copenhagen is utterly predictable but dangerous dribble with First World nations employing environmental regulation as a mechanism of control over their citizens, Third World nations demanding compensation for the environmental damage the First World nations have supposedly wrought on them and for the development that they claim they will now have to eschew to protect the atmosphere (which development I must say never happened in these backwards places before the global warming hysteria anyway). The elites at this summit comprise a bunch of self-serving scientists whose grants have been contingent on them advancing the notion that man is destroying the earth, power-hungry politicians and their bureaucratic minions who seek one more way to grab from your wallets and intrude into your lives, Leo DiCaprio and Ted Danson-type celebrities who will ignore the very regulation that they are advocating and continue to live large in their own lives with their beaches and ski slopes less crowded with the riffraff like me who will no longer either be permitted to travel or will not be able to buy the thousands of dollars in carbon offsets that will eventually have to be purchased to buy an airplane ticket. Little things like private aviation and plasma TVs will be out of reach of ordinary people under the coming "green tyranny". And all this to protect the privilege of the Western elites and Third World kleptocrats (borrowed with grateful acknowledgement from George Will) who corrupt the United Nations and stymie decency around the world. Save the earth- preserve human progress- reject Copenhagen.
