Copenhagen climate [swindle] talks: Time to change, no time to waste | Environment | The Guardian
The world's first global treaty to combat climate change, the Kyoto Protocol, was agreed in December 1997 after exhausting, all-night negotiations in Japan that saw arguments, desperate phone calls back to leaders in capital cities and inspired diplomacy.

The Guardian reported: "A more bizarre way of reaching agreement to tackle global warming cannot be imagined. Half of those involved were asleep on the floor, unaware that history was being made."

Firm targets to reduce greenhouse gases would surely force governments to introduce policies to steer their people away from their extravagantly polluting lifestyles and livelihoods.

Charles and spouse Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, will finally board a Canadian taxpayers' Airbus on Thursday for the flight back to their regular royal lifestyle, leaving behind only a few planted trees and some faint public impressions.
Thomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene
My first column, more than 30 years ago, was titled "The Profits of Doom." Recent news stories about the millions of dollars that Al Gore has made out of his "global warming" hysteria suggest that some things haven't changed much in three decades.
