More fear mongering greets UN reality check

Reuters today has an article entitled "Industrial nations shy away from stiff 2020 goals" which reveals that many nations at U.N. talks don't want to bind themselves to drasticly reducing their CO2 emissions.

This entirely reasonable decision given the economic drawbacks (and negative impact on people) was met with these kinds of quotations from global warming fear mongerers:

"This is voting for the apocalypse," said Stephanie Tunmore of environmental group Greenpeace. "The 25-40 percent range is needed to help avert dangerous climate change" such as more powerful storms, rising seas and melting glaciers, she said.

"Japan is willing to let the typhoons roll in and the water flow onto its coastal land. Switzerland is committed to melt all its remaining glaciers," environmentalists said in a newsletter.

The U.S. so far has not signed on to the Kyoto treaty. Bush, however, is calling a meeting of "major emitters" here in DC September 27-28th. It's amazing to read about what the EU is intending to do about emissions.

If you want an excellent, one-article thorough debunking of the global warming agenda (and which includes a discussion of its fanatical persecution of dissenting viewpoints), Thomas Derr offers it at First Things.

I applaud him for making the point that global warming alarmists are experiencing serious historical amnesia.
