I’m glad that they had a good time deciding the fate of the world
Experts at a major UN climate change conference in Bangkok have reached a deal on the best ways to combat global warming, delegates say.
It follows marathon talks with strong reservations voiced by China.
Areas of dispute included language regarding the Kyoto protocol, the costs of cutting emissions and nuclear power.
Then they all went out for a night on the town in their limo’s, had a few cigars, then flew home. And, before it is even mentioned, I’d like to see a show of hands for who thinks that most of the delegates drove or took a boat home.
That’s what I thought 
From the Bangkok Post
"The naysayers have always said that this will wreck our economies," said Hans Verolme, director of the World Wildlife Fund for Nature’s (WWF’s) Global Climate Change Programme.
Verolme added that the cost of doing nothing is 20 times worse than paying for technologies today. "This is a no brainer," he said, adding that 40 cent of the solution is better efficiency of existing infrastructure.
Yup, it is a no brainer for those who are using hyperbole rather then science.
"It’s a great report and the conclusions are quite strong," said Greenpeace’s Bill Hare, one of the lead authors of report. Though he admitted that it’s "a little hard to read."
Yes, it is hard to read when you are laughing at the inconsistencies, overblown rhetoric, and a failure to have actual scientific conclusings. Science is fact, not "likely" and "most likely." Expect to see lots of those words in the report when it is released today.
Now, in case you weren’t aware, the conference was held behind closed doors. I wonder why they would do that, when they come out with gems like this
"It came out much better than we thought," the WWF’s Singer said. "This is a victory of science over the fossil fuel industry (and) economic sceptics."
Ah, the old slam the fuel industry, which just happened to provide the means to get everyone to the conference. Quite frankly, whenever anyone starts with that silly talk, it makes me suspicious of their motives.
The IPCC report also said individuals could do their part through lifestyle changes, with the co-chairs of the panel saying even discarding the tie at work so the air conditioner could be turned down in summer would help.
Great, that should solve global warming.
