Bismarck Tribune - DON HANNU  - Global warming just a great farce

With all the hoopla about "carbon footprints" and "cap and trade," we have allowed ourselves to be part of the biggest con game ever perpetuated on the people of the world. We have scared our kids half to death about something that is never going to happen. Now even the EPAhas said something to the effect that CO2 is a harmful gas. Let's see any of you live without CO2 that makes the plants grow.

Bonn Blog: [You put carbon dioxide in my limited atmospheric space; therefore, you must cough up sacks of money in an amount calculated by me]

Bolivia has done more than anyone else to work out what’s required and has elaborated an easy-to-grasp, yet sophisticated concept of ‘climate debt.’

‘Climate debt’ consists of two components: ‘emissions debt’ and ‘adaptation debt.’

Rich countries have amassed an emissions debt through their excessive consumption of the limited atmospheric space: they have left almost no space for developing countries to increase their greenhouse gas emissions (and there is no example to date of a poor country that has developed without increasing their emissions).

Repayment of that debt requires them to make deeper emissions cuts than those they are currently considering so that developing countries have some space to grow their emissions, without destroying the planet.

But rich countries have also contributed disproportionately to the impacts of climate change being felt by developing countries because of their emissions.

They have therefore run up an ‘adaptation debt’ which can be repaid only by providing substantial financial resources to enable developing countries to adapt.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier if the underlying science wasn't fraudulent?
