Be very afraid of the UN...

...as the world wakes up to the reality of overblown, oversold green/left disinformation on climate change, the post Kyoto conference looms on the horizon...Remember Kyoto? It would have required us (the USA) to reduce our national emissions of carbon dioxide to 7 percent below 1990 levels. Europe, Canada, and pretty much the rest of the developed world had similar “obligations.” Kyoto failed because, simply put, it was too costly, both politically and economically. It would have had no detectable effect on global warming, anyway — “preventing” about seven-hundredths of a degree Celsius by 2050. (Although New Zealand under Helen Clark couldn't wait to jump on board.) The Earth’s surface temperature bounces around about twice that amount naturally from year-to-year, so it would have been impossible to determine Kyoto’s “benefit.”What’s the response of the U.N. and the Obama administration to this failure? The meeting in Bonn proposes even more drastic cuts in emissions. The legislation currently being discussed in the House of Representatives, and supported by the president, would reduce U.S. emissions to 83 percent below 2005 levels. If implemented, this would allow the average American in 2050 to emit only as much carbon dioxide as the average American emitted in 1867. No one has any idea how this would be accomplished. The president supports the Waxman-Markey “cap and trade” bill renamed the Obama Energy Tax in this space, since it would amount to the largest tax increase ever instituted by any government in history...All this will have minimal effect on global warming. Using standard scientific models (such as they are), we can estimate that, if every nation in the world that has obligations under the current Kyoto Protocol begins to reduce emissions soon and reaches the 83 percent target by 2050, the amount of warming prevented by then is a mere 0.08 degrees Celsius by 2050 and 0.22 degrees by 2100, compared with what the United Nations calls “business-as-usual...more from Patrick Michaels here...
...and be very afraid of Iran...President Ahmadinejad has pledged his life to the ‘liberation of Palestine’, and he now has four more years to fulfil the divine will.This is Iran’s final solution.And the world’s Obamageddon...more from Cranmer here...
