This is a re-post from one year ago:
Well, the United Nations has its Intergovernmental ... its Interglobal... its Climatological...
Oh, why even bother getting the title right. We all know what it is. It's a global taxation system tarted up with a graph and a chart or two. The United Nations has never accomplished anything. Let me retract that. The United Nations has never accomplished anything beneficial to mankind. Every once in a while, you can shove it aside if you bribe enough of its members and get something done. You can put a UN patch on a US uniform and kick North Korean ass, for instance. But let's not pretend the UN did anything. It's a talking shop for the worst kind of people, representing mostly venal or totalitarian governments. The only successful program run by the UN was Saddam's Oil for Food scam. And by "successful," I mean Kofi Annan's and Saddam Hussein's kids got theirs. It took the US military to give Saddam's kids what they deserved.
People like our friend the Screamin' Inconvenient Truth Volunteer have lost their faith in god and in progress, and need something to fill the void in their psyche. Global Warming is not their laboratory. It is their tent meeting. Mmm mmm. Preach it, brother. Amen. Praise the lord and pass the carbon tax plate.
The global warming schtick lets everybody dumb off the hook. If you're French, your failed state didn't let tens of thousands of senior citizens die in substandard housing; no, global warming killed them. If you're European of any stripe, instead of trying to cobble together some Fischer-Price Soviet Union out of the debris of the multitude of wrecked economies you've presided over, you can wave your magic Climate Change wand and stick your hand in Uncle Sam's pocket. Why be a French farmer being paid not to farm by other Frenchmen, when the whole damn country can be paid to do nothing by Americans? And you can give yourself a medal for refusing to do anything too; we'd be productive but we'd ruin everything for everybody. The Prius as a clown car for whole continents.
They say they had to "work on the language" of a scientific report. They likewise say that now all discussion must stop. Hmmm. It would seem to me that if you're gauging what you say, you're angling for a result, not presenting facts.
But it's science. The United Nations told me so.
