Negotiations at the UN climate summit have been suspended after developing countries withdrew their co-operation.
Well, I could see that coming.
Developing countries fear they would lose many of the gains they made when the Kyoto agreement was signed in 1997.
Losing out on the gravy train then, are we?
Update: It looks like they won't be able to make a decision for six years!
This blogger is all shopped out. I need the night off.
Move along now, nothing to see here.
Abnormal service will resume tommorrow.
I see from the news that Brussels have agreed to hand over £6.5 billion to from the EU to the third world to help it to overcome so called "Climate Change".
EU leaders ended a summit in Brussels having agreed to pay 7.2bn euros (£6.5bn; $10.6bn) over three years to help poorer nations cope with climate change.
What's worse is that Brown has pledged the poor British taxpayer to stump up £1.5 billion of it. (From the BBC 6 O'clock news). He obviously believes his delusion that we are better equipped to ride out this recession.
I very much doubt that the money will go to good use, but instead line the pockets in velvet of half the tinpot dictators out there.
And the greed is already there.
But leaders of poorer nations described the sum as inadequate.
When will Scumbag Brown realise the Legacy of debt we have bestowed on our children and grandchildren.
Old Holborn puts the blame on the middle classes. Yes, you at the back, this is your fault. Read that post and weep.
I seriously think that I may take my money and run. Surprisingly my wife agrees.
If you read this article it would appear that they are making an assertion that they can't quite be as positive about their "Global Warming" stance as they would like you to believe.
Forecasters predict that the annual figure for 2010 will be 14.58C (58.24F), 0.58C (1.04F) above the long-term average of 14.0C (58.2F).
They say the combination of climate change and a moderate warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean are set to drive up temperatures next year.
The next line is interesting:
The current record record is 14.52C (58.14F), which was set in 1998.
We haven't cooled then?
Here's the caveat:
However it added: "A record warm year in 2010 is not a certainty, especially if the current El Nino was to unexpectedly decline rapidly near the start of 2010, or if there was a large volcanic eruption.
And where do they get their data from? Yes you've guessed it , CRU at the University of East Anglia.
