Just what we need (Via Insty)
Emissions of hot air at international meetings designed to prevent Earth from warming are rising. Just last week, more than 80 heads of state convened in New York under the aegis of the United Nations to decide how to tackle climate change.
Yippee yahoo! How ’bout that, meeting after meeting after meeting, all designed to allow politicians, blowhards, and those looking to make some cash, as well as enjoy some vaction time around the world, to discuss how they are going to f*ck up your paycheck.
More meetings are scheduled. In December, ministers are off to Bali, Indonesia, for further discussions to prepare for still another meeting in Denmark in 2009. There, the nations hope to agree to a successor to the Kyoto Protocol, due to expire in 2012. One shudders at the thought of the size of the combined economic footprints of these globe-trotters
Ah, the jet set lifestlye. Sipping champagne in the lovely gettaway destination of Bali, looking out over the beautiful sea, eating exotic seafood, and only a stones throw away from an actual issue, otherwise known as Islamic extremists. But the ice sculpture will certainly be gorgeous!
You want my ideas? We need to turn the thormostat down on that pesky Sun thing. I mean, we can do it with our boilers at home, right? Maybe a big mirror to block out 40% of the rays. Oops, that was Futurama. Maybe we can limit the amount of methane, sulfer, and heat released allong the mid-Atlantic Ridge. What? We can’t? Crap.
Or, how about this, based strictly on the last IPCC report, which blamed the majority of Man’s influence on agriculture, most particularly America’s. We simply stop producing more food then is needed to feed the U.S.A. The rest of the world is on their own. That way, we limit our methane and CO2 (snicker) output, which should make the rest of the world thrilled and love us again.
Huh? Climahysterics will not like that idea? But, we are addressing the main cause as stated by the U.N.’s IPCC report. I mean, they want to fix the problem, don’t they? What’s that? They do not want us to do it that way, but seriously degrade our economy instead, putting draconian measures in place that will bring us back to the 1910’s? No! You can’t be serious. Oh, yes, I forgot, instead, we can spend all our money on "carbon credits" instead. OK. I wonder who has a vested interest in all those companies.
Or how about this? We stop worrying about this whole absurd notion that it is all, or mostly, Man’s fault, and get back to dealing with real environmental issues? I like that one.
