    Well you know it's a bunch of crap.

    Do you really think China or India will stop ignoring the environment & lose billions of dollars in business? Both those countries depend on the rest of the world that has laws that make manufacturing in their own countries financially out of reach. Nobody is giving up their toxic iphone battery for clear skies in China.

    There's a reason China is a hazardous waste dump, THEY DON'T CARE.

    The Paris meeting was nothing more than a bunch of old fogies blowing smoke.

    • Each country would p***, ahem, contribute what they could, so we can keep this load,....life threatening subject in the forefrount of the Flouride and tv numbed su,.....concerned public.

      You have to remember that there is still enough heat stored in the planet, to kill us off,....well, somewhere?


      But l do agree, even if Australia was 100% green, we would only reduce greenhouse emissions by 4%, and China churns out 30% and growing.

      Without China and the US, (not sure about Russia) on board, it is pretty useless, in global terms.

      In ten years time when oil starts to run out, then we will finally get serious change, not the dodgy green BS we currently get!

  • WHAT is it about the number 21? Are they trying to just make it clear these are part of a whole? I mean the UNs plan to basically destroy the planet as we know it is AGENDA21. One of their singularly(BOTH meanings) hypocritical documents is COP21! I mean they have ALL these people FLY OVER to that place? Let;s see! FOR the ONE us guy to go down there, though he had NO business being there, required the effort of no less than 3 747s, so the fuel cost was well over a million dollars. How much pollution must it have produced? And that is just for STARTERS! Don't forget the large cars driving around for so long, etc...

    And they CLAIM they want to help the poor with the internet and computers, but HOW will they be powered? I mean if you are going to:

  • Over 190 countries agreeing to do something about this big problem is definitely a step in the right direction.

    But will it be the start of a process that will eventually be enough to overcome the deniers and their enablers - before they eventually kill us all and/or help turn life on this planet into something from a horror movie?

    I am constantly amazed at the brazenness of the (insulting to our intelligence) denials from some the folks at national leadership positions and even more amazed at the callous indifference of their enablers.

    The enablers with their small picture, childish admonitions, naysaying, infantile cherry picking along with they're not doing it - so we shouldn't do it logic, and snarkiness (the Eyore - from Winnie the Pooh - complex) on this oh so important issue will spell doom for the rest of us and our posterity - if they are allowed to continue to gum up the works. But alas, that is the role they have consciously decided to play with this critical issue on planet Earth circa 2015.

    It is almost as if they are the last of their line and are trying to take everyone else down with them. LOL!

    And...

    It is surely a crying shame that it will not be only they, and they alone who reap the whirlwind of their very dangerous mindsets.


    Wow.

    • But they ******AREN'T***** agreeing to do something! The FIRST step in such a thing would be collecting relevant things they can contribute. Have they done that? ***************NO*************!
      The SECOND STEP would be a central database that ALL could and would contribute to! Have they done THAT? ***************NO*************!

      NOW, lets' go to scam mode! The first step is to widely advertise an elite meeting, or the fact that that has happened. DID IT? YEP! NOTE, an ELITE meeting means a lot of info will NOT be presented, so they have FAILED!

      The SECOND step is to plan a great vacation getaway, and plan it for the week! Did they do THAT? YEP! NOTE, this means an INCREASE in waste and CO2. #44 HIMSELF put out more CO2 than I have likely put out for EVERYTHING I have done in the past DECADE before he even got there!

      The THIRD step is to have everyone go down primarily to enjoy whatever. Did they do THAT? YEP!
      Did I say #44 HIMSELF? OK, add in all those OTHERS and the support staff and the media and all the other things!

      It could take them over a year of 100% success to undo all the harm they did with that meeting. And it WILL take probably over a decade to meet that point if they are 100% serious. I ASSURE you, they are NOT serious! They just want the control and taxes.

    • What a second..... That theory sounds FAMILIAR! I KNOW! I KNOW!!!!!!! It is EXACTLY the same kind of thinking that THE FOLLOWING guy would come up with!

      YEP! You react to too much light, and things just go DARK! So OF COURSE, if you put too much weight on a mountain(which probably weighs more than we would ever put on it ANYWAY), it will, of course, capsize and all the people will DROWN!

      BTW my ASTOUNDING appreciation for how Admiral Willard could hear this and react without missing a beat or die laughing.

  • I wouldn't cheer yet. That 100 bil for "developing countries" .....um............that's tax on the citizens of the good ole US.

    And yet Monsanto, Syngenta, Dow, and Dupont are still given top biling with their environmentally disastrous poisons instead of building an empire of regenerative agriculture. Those taxes won't clean up our environement, and those corps won't either - but the corps will get their bitds because it's money in personal pockets of politicians.
