Canadians Not Blinded by Science

I love sarcasm, especially when it's aimed a self-righteous busybodies whose schemes rely on fleecing the gullible...

Canada's National Post skewers the International Socialist Plenary Conclave going on in Copenhagen:

... stop worrying. These extravagant UN get-togethers always produce some sort of a final accord. Witness Kyoto in 1997, where an all-night session produced a compromise deal -- even if all the signatories have spent the last 12 years ignoring it.

As for those who are stressed by the possibility that negotiators will reach a last-minute agreement containing bona fide emission caps that will beggar industrialized nations for the benefit of developing ones, we also say stop worrying.

While delegates might sign away the moon amid the giddy glitter of Copenhagen, the realities of domestic politics they face when they return home-- recession, unemployment, budget deficits --mean their pledges will quickly fade to nothingness.

The editors unmask this charade as the scam that it is:  A transfer of wealth from rich, productive countries to poor, kleptocratic ones (and to upcoming countries like Brazil, China and India who should be ashamed of themselves participating in this cash grab.)

I didn't do anything to any of these beggar countries, so I owe them nothing.  In fact, Papa Silverfiddle spent a lot of time in Mexico and Brazil helping them improve their manufacturing processes. 

These countries should stop begging and start producing things other people want to buy.

They've blinded us with science!
