Copenhagen is about to
become the successor to Kyoto as the synonym for the U.N.'s plan to control
climate change. The 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties
to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change will meet in Copenhagen
December 7-18. Until this meeting ends, expect to hear a growing number of
climate-related horror stories, presented by a wide array of so-called
environmentalists, at a rising decibel level that's sure to drive the sane quite
mad.
The Copenhagen meeting is
supposed to produce the successor to the Kyoto Protocol, which will expire in
2012. This new agreement is supposed to set new emissions reductions targets,
even more onerous than the Kyoto targets. The same arguments plague the
negotiations leading up to the Copenhagen meeting that plagued negotiations in
Kyoto: developing nations absolutely do not want any kind of reductions imposed
upon them, while insisting that developed nations, especially the United States,
be forced to drastically reduce carbon emissions.
Notice the absence of any
discussion about the validity of climate change science, or the need to control
it? Climate change has nothing to do with the negotiations or the meetings, or
the treaties. It never has. Climate change is simply an excuse to construct a
monstrous international bureaucracy that meets many times each year in exotic
venues around the world. Billions of dollars flow into and out of the climate
change industry. No one involved in the climate change business wants to hear
anything other than a new horror story to put the fear of catastrophe into
appropriators.
Watch the momentum mount as
the December meeting draws closer. Ice caps will melt faster, oceans will rise
higher, droughts will be more severe, snow falls will be deeper, ice storms will
be slicker, crops will fail more often, men will become impotent, and African
pygmies will be recruited by the Boston Celtics – all because of climate change
– with the only cure being enslavement by a new Copenhagen Protocol to the
Climate Change Treaty.
