Goracles to the core....

The leftoid AssPress doesn't even try to hide their politics these days.

They're reporting on the Bali Horsepuckey Conference, Global Warming and Beach Blanket Bingo Party Climate Change Conference in Bali. Consider:

"Those gathering on the resort island of Bali were charged with launching negotiations to replace the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012. What they decide in the next two years will help determine how much the world warms in the decades to come."

(Emphasis mine)

I guess I could accept that explanation, but ONLY if it means that if they decided to just STFU, as opposed to their penchant for generating heat with billions of words, the Earth would be a cooler place by some amount.

The explanation that AssPress WANTS us to read into that paragraph is that only us can save us from a fate worse than death (when the sky itself falls on us). With ever-increasing evidence that global warming is NOT occurring due to man's activities, it's unlikely that advanced nations of ANY political stripe are going to risk their economies and their position in the world's economic pecking order just to suck up to Pope AlGore.

I'll put Realpolitik up against Gaiapolitik any day, and give you odds that reality will win, because in the end, even the Socialists realize that they aren't going to oversee the tanking of their economies for this cause.

By 2012, when Kyoto sunsets, "Global Warming" will be sooo last decade.

OK, here's a new contest for the readers of Rivrdog: What is the next "global disaster"? Of course the contest will be long term, but hey.

My vote is for "global equalization" the next new terror to hit the envirowhackoes. Since "Global cooling" (did you know the FIRST "Earth Day" was to rally to help prevent the next ice age from coming?) didn't pan out, and we know Global Warming is a shibboleth of the uninformed, the next manufactured disaster will be the eventual equalization of earth temperatures so every place will be 65 degrees F. No more polar icecaps, no more hot sandy beaches.
