Review & Outlook: Global Warming Wash Out - WSJ.com
The Kyoto Protocol can now be ignored for another five years.
Durban failed: Relax, everyone • The Register
Having given their populations a glimpse of modern life, no Indian or Chinese political leader can be expected to send their population back to the Stone Age.
This means UN CO2 treaties now look like a massive vanity exercise for European policy-makers, bureaucrats and activists - a venue to talk amongst themselves. While they're busy talking about saving the world, the BRICS nations are actually creating a new one.
John Broder had this remarkable sentence in his Sunday New York Times dispatch from Durban:
Effectively addressing climate change will require over the coming decades a fundamental remaking of energy production, transportation and agriculture around the world — the sinews of modern life.
In the Climategate and Climategate 2.0 emails they're shown time and again fudging data, breaching FOI requests, lying to outsiders who've requested to see the raw data on which they've based their dubious prognostications, grossly exaggerating their degree of certainty about the threat of AGW, tweaking their Assessment Reports to make them look more scary, pretending those Assessment Reports are the work of divers hands when really the people doing all the legwork and rewriting comprise a relatively small core of committed activists.
Yet for all this, Michael Jacobs has apparently never stopped to ask himself whether this might not suggest something ever so slightly dubious about the quality of the science underpinning his cherished theories. So certain is he of the unimpeachable virtuousness of his cause, it seems, that he has no need to respond to sceptics with facts or arguments. All he has to do is call them liars and the problem will go away.
Except it won't.

Yeah, and how much of this new world is from the help of the World Bank? Last I read, the World Bank spent something like $30 billion in China alone on development projects (which I'm sure businesses like).
Interestingly, the WOrld Bank was created by Harry Dexter White, a communist according to the NSA's VENONA project. I'd like to know what the World Bank does that strengthens this country in the ways of the founding fathers...
