How Dumb Are the Enviro-Ninnines at the U.N.?

This dumb. They want to sway the rich countries by illustrating the problems of poor countries. However, the rich countries aren't the problem. Rich countries are the ones who can afford to entertain the apocalyptic nonsense that is global warming and they are attempting to force this self-indulgent speculation down the throats of poor countries. Poor countries, of course, yearn for higher living standards and see the climate change crusade as detrimental to their development. Any breakthrough on some sort of global action would have to come from poor countries acquiescing to rich countries' restrictions on carbon emissions. All that could really achieve that is the mother of all bribes, er subsidies, which the rich countries can't really afford right now. (And rich countries know that poor countries won't enforce their end of the bargain if they do agree to cut emissions. Rich countries would be hurting their economies while poor countries advance. Classic prisoner's dilemma stuff.) The U.N. is taking the wrong message to the wrong audience. This is actually encouraging. Idiocy on the part of these global busybodies means that we have less to fear in the way of damage emanating from their activities.
