[climate pact] disquietening political aspects

Amidst the spin over the latest global agreement, one paragraph stuck out in my mind:

The informal meeting also agreed that a global market should be formed to cap and trade carbon dioxide emissions. The non-binding declaration is seen as vital in influencing a replacement for the Kyoto Protocol, correspondents say. The forum's closing statement said man-made climate change was now "beyond doubt".

I don’t believe they’d have made their move unless it had been based on sound science. These are very calculating people and they’ve obviously factored in the backlash and its ability to prove there is no climate change. Their ‘beyond doubt’ is seriously worrying.

The other worrying aspect is ‘global market’. Clear to see where that is leading.

  1. Unkindly no doubt, I have just thought: Hitler and Stalin were also very serious men. With hindsight, we do not consider them to have used sound judgement.

    I think more serious arguments are in order on anthropogenic global warming, difficult though that actually is.

    [Oh, and who are these men and with whose authority are they doing what they are doing? It's not well stated in all the press/spin.]

    Best regards
