[Aug 1:] Brrr…It’s Cold in Here! « On The Scene « FOXNews.com
Early last month, someone wrote:ME: Quick question, Secretary General. I notice this room is warm, but the room next door, the conference room, felt like an icebox. Why is the room next to this one so cold?
BAN: I have been feeling at times very warm in this room. So I had to move sometimes to my next door conference room.
ME: It’s like a meat locker in there.
BAN: Next door will be set at 77 degrees.
ME: But why is it so much colder in there now?
BAN: Because of this particular situation in this room the temperature may be a little bit warmer than normal, but conference will be set at 77 degrees.
...Turning up the heat in a work environment, so that concentration becomes difficult, workers cant wait to leave the office, and morale sinks to the point where the best employees start looking elsewhere for a job, is not the way to inspire folks to think about dealing with global warming. People need to see some results if they are asked to make sacrifices of this nature, and that is clearly not going to happen at the UN.
...We don't need to turn into a nation of masochists. We need to become a nation of problem solvers, as we have been in the past. Lets not let this truly stupid example of the UN influence us to go in the wrong, futile, and ultimately counter productive direction.
