Musings of the Technical Bard

The upcoming “negotiations” in Copenhagen will be the downfall of civilization if the so-called “Green” movement is successful and nations are foolish enough to sign on to the son of Kyoto treaty.  Kevin Libin writes at length in the National Post on the details of the draft Copenhagen Treaty that would take sovereignty out of the hands of nation states at place it in the hands of the UN bureaucracy.  It would demand massive transfers of wealth from rich nations to poor, in effect “climate reparations” to help the poor countries “reduce their emissions”.  It would also give poor nations the power to dictate terms of world trade, especially with rich nations who do not reduce their emissions to the levels prescribed by the UN…

One of my friends described many years ago that the whole Global Warming scenario was a plot by communists, derived as the Soviet Union collapsed and socialism was facing the doom it deserved and earned.  He believed that the communists looked at the free world and said “how do will kill them with their own actions” and that recognized that if they could convince the west that CO2 was destroying the world, they could cripple the capitalist economies.  I didn’t believe him then. I do now.

I think that the warmists can be divided into three groups:

• True environmentalists, who earnestly believe that human activity is affecting the climate negatively and that action should be taken to limit the damage or even rectify the situation.  Arguing with these people can be effective if they are willing to recognize contrary scientific data.
• Bandwagon hoppers, who are pulling the party line because they think it is the popular or “right” thing to do, or it will gain them political power in some way.  These people are not worth your time to fight.
• Communists and socialists, who could care less whether the climate is changing or not.  They see this solely as a way to transfer wealth to the poor nations, to destroy western civilization and to create the “workers paradise” that Marx envisioned in the 19th century.  These ar the most dangerous of the “warmists”, and the ones the most effort should be focussed on unveiling and defeating.

Write to the Prime Minister of Canada and and your member of Parliament, explaining to them why they should simply skip Copenhagen and maintain Canada’s sovereignty.
