| Kyoto Junk Science Meet Fails To Scam US |
| 2004-12-18 |
| Put on your waders... BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) - A U.N. conference ended early Saturday with a vague plan for informal new talks on how to slow global warming but without a U.S. commitment to multilateral negotiations on next steps, including emissions controls. How vague, you ask? Between fits of laughter, we agreed to come to another "The Americans reached a good agreement with the Europeans," Argentine diplomat Raul Estrada Oyuela said of the plan, which he helped broker in long hours of late-night talks. See? The pig, she has lipstick! Others described it as at best a small step to keep the multilateral process moving on climate change. "It's a finger-hold, like hanging on by your nails," said Michael Zammit Cutajar of Malta, a veteran climate negotiator. ... Too bad, so sad, damnit, er Zammit. When will the PoopScience wankers buzz off? Never! This is all they have. They can't cut it in real universities doing real science so, sans peddling this tripe to Gov'ts, no one would employ them. We really should apply some sense here and quit sending representatives on these fool's errands. Utter waste just to humor some moonbats. |

| #20 ROTFLMAO Frank G Where they may take place over several various days in a given month, maybe, if we kinda feel like it, maybe. What it is .com is that Beeb has to keep up the Green/World Socialist world view no matter how plainly full of pure crap they are. The victorious forces of world socialism/green powern win again because we the Beeb say so. |

| #17 sounds like a general consensus on the shape of the entry rug to the room where discussions may take place |

| #16 Lol! It's lipstick on the pig, alright: Yeah, we'll come to another of your "meetings". That's it. Beeb is trying to make it look like the US gave in or compromised, but there's no "there" there, heh. |

| #13 Yup, they'll be back to camel racing. Then they'll be really pissed we invaded Iraq instead of them. |

| #12 I'm wondering if, when there's no more oil, if we could harness and channel the energy the Arab world generates in seething? Think about it! The more we take, the more they'd seethe. It could violate the laws of thermodynamics and physics, possibly an unlimited source! |

| #11 phil_b - ROFL!!! How very Arab of them, lol! That's just phriggin' priceless. |

| #10 The NYT report had this gem - But the issue was complicated by Saudi Arabia's insistence that the aid include compensation to oil-producing countries for any fall in revenues that may result from the reduction in the use of carbon fuels. |

| #9 several people at conference saying Kyoto was dead - Hallelujah! I've been railing against this nonsense for years. It's gratifying to see the tide turning and even the MSM turning sceptical. Otherwise .com nailed it. A veteran climate negotiator said "My well-paid and undemanding job is on the line here." |

| #8 AP spin. Read on another blog couple days ago quotes from several people at conference saying Kyoto was dead and when it expires in 2012,no country will try to sign new version. That most agreed,reluctantly or not,that Kyoto-type emission quotas was failure w/only Europe trying it. |

| #7 Frank---you stole my thunder: Michael Zammit Cutajar of Malta, a veteran climate negotiator. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Dammit, Zammit! Haven't you finished those climate negotiations yet? We are almost out of funds earmarked for your project, and going back to the trough is so embarassing for me. |

| #4 A U.N. conference ended early Saturday with a vague plan for informal new talks... Is it just me, or shouldn't every story I read about the UN begin with those words? |

| #3 a "veteran climate negotiator"? Just how many climates has he changed? Jeez, what a bunch of tools..... |
