AGW Today: Vultures At U.N. Talks, Carbon Credits, Dems And Nukes

How perfect is this?

Dozens of vultures landed on the grass the other day outside the building where U.N. climate talks are taking place in Ghana – and more were circling overhead. “They’ve been attracted by all the delegates falling asleep inside,” one official joked.

Surprising that more misquito’s do not show up at the conferences, since they are attracted by breathing, ie, hot air.

The Aug. 21-27 talks among 160 countries working on a new treaty to fight climate change move at a glacial pace even though the United Nations says they are making progress, for instance, in defining how to give tropical countries incentives to slow deforestation. Burning trees is a big source of greenhouse gas emissions.

Because it is mostly talk and feel good measure, many designed to enrich the very people who are whining about “climate change.” Think I’m kidding?

European carbon emissions prices hit a 1-month high on Wednesday on the back of rising oil prices and concerns over the Norwegian gas pipeline, traders said.

December-delivery European Union carbon permits were up 44 cents or 1.9 percent at 25.20 euros a tonne, the highest level seen since July 25.

Isn’t capitalism great? The very thing that many of the Climahysterics want to destroy. I mostly invest in long and medium term stuff. Might have to get in on this gig.

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal wonders if Democrats will finally embrace nuclear power in order to combat AGW

Will nuclear power get a Rocky Mountain high at the Democratic convention in Denver? Democrats are spending all week staring at the big issues, from health care to the energy crisis and climate change. There’s a radioactive elephant in the room.

Won’t happen. Dems aren’t interested in actual real world solutions to America’s energy needs, nor making us as energy independent as possible. Taking us back to the way we lived in the 1800’s is more their style.
