As has been discussed in this blog and elsewhere, the evidence that humans are causing global warming is scanty. So why do so many influential people buy this load of blarney? One of the motives may be discerned from a report from the UN, that debating society for third world despots:
The report says the rich nations will need to cough up $86 billion per year by 2015 to "strengthen the capacity of vulnerable people." Half the money, ostensibly, would go toward "climate-proofing" developing nations' infrastructure, whatever that means, while the other half would help the poor cope with related risks. Of course, the ambiguity is on purpose. You and I know that the bulk of this money will be skimmed off by tinhorn dictators, the same rabble that runs the U.N.
The report was conveniently released just a week before the world's nations gather in Bali to hammer out yet another Kyoto-style climate treaty. This will be another attempt to shame the developed world into turning over their hard-earned gold and silver to the rest of the world.
But shouldn't they include the Martians in this boondoggle? The polar icecaps on Mars have been shrinking. That must be Bush's fault.
