Planet Gore on National Review Online
Today’s news confirms that Wimpy Weatherby has been installed in at least two governments as climate minister, offering to gladly pay us Tuesday — rather, beginning in 2025 — for a hamburger today — which means, that we keep the largesse flowing in a Kyoto II running from 2012-2020.
Specifically, ClimateWire (subscription required) breathlessly touts a story today with the lead, “South Korea is poised to become the second developing country to set greenhouse gas emissions targets.” Ummm . . . no. Look, South Korea, the 13th-largest economy in the world and the ninth-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, is muttering something about promising to peak their emissions in 2025.
Yes, that’s five years after the successor pact would expire and so far in the future as to be both substantively and politically meaningless. Then, without any more detail or reason to believe this is possible than our own homegrown green sages, they’ll radically slash emissions in half by 2050! Ah, but they mention “renewable energy” a few times for a tinge of green credibility. They ought to read up a little more.
