Complete Wanker Spouts Rubbish!
...Man, I LOVE speaking British!
Since this guy is a Brit, I'll speak his language and call "Bollocks!" With a guy this zealous you can't argue that global warming (sorry, climate change) is a speculation and that the dread effects of climate change are the rankest form of computer-driven speculation. He's got the physical environment sussed and that's that, so you gotta go for the other flaws in his argument. There are many, but first, a nit to pick - I understand it is difficult for a Limey bloke to understand the finer points of us colonials' parliamentary machinations, but it was the US Senate that ripped up Kyoto. I know it is good for a pint at the pub on your editor's shilling to bash George W. Bush, but let's be prickly about the facts, justfor shits and giggles. Now to the nub, shall we? It would seem Freedland thinks that the US is somehow integral to Copenhagen's success and it would seem he thinks that the United States is somehow personified in Barack Obama. Barack Obama has little sway with world leaders (on top of his ever diminishing say with us 'mericanz) and it is not the US that is weighing the promise of Copenhagen down. The US is merely bowing to reality. Brazil is planning on spending $175 billion dollars over the next several years on hydrocarbon development. It's their space program. (Actually that number will go up given this recent find.) As we say here in America, "they are, like, sooooo NOT on board" with the whole restricting hydrocarbons thing. The Africans, too, are on the very brink of oil riches. Angola, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Madagascar, Egypt, Libya and a few others all have dreams of being the next Saudi Arabia. They'll only slow down if they get bribes, and frankly, no one expects that they'll honor any bribe. They'll take the money and drillbabydrill anyway. And then there are the Indians, who think this global warming stuff is a bunch of hogwash and wouldn't care even if it wasn't because they have a billion mouths to feed. Oh, and I almost forgot the Chinese! How could I forget the Chinese, who are traversing the globe, spending hundreds of billions and running entire African countries out of their back pockets if they have to just to get their Commie mits on the ungodly amount of hydrocarbons they'll need to feed and house their billions at a modest living standard. No rational and informed person thinks that these countries are going to vote to restrict the use of hydrocarbons, which is what Copenhagen is all about, but "Oh, but it's the big, mean United States that is dooming Copenhagen and thus us all! Save us Barack Obama! Save us!" says total wanker John Freedland. Have you ever heard such rubbish?
