The Copenhagen climate summit was pretty much summed up in the high-level segment yesterday when Penny Wong’s (the Australian environment minister) speech was interrupted by whistles and chanting and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez got a standing ovation.
[…]
President Chavez brought the house down.When he said the process in Copenhagen was “not democratic, it is not inclusive, but isn’t that the reality of our world, the world is really and imperial dictatorship…down with imperial dictatorships” he got a rousing round of applause.
When he said there was a “silent and terrible ghost in the room” and that ghost was called capitalism, the applause was deafening.
But then he wound up to his grand conclusion – 20 minutes after his 5 minute speaking time was supposed to have ended and after quoting everyone from Karl Marx to Jesus Christ – “our revolution seeks to help all people…socialism, the other ghost that is probably wandering around this room, that’s the way to save the planet, capitalism is the road to hell….let’s fight against capitalism and make it obey us.” He won a standing ovation
…and what of Chavez’s own ‘road to hell’?
Chavez = typical AGW believer.
Climate changes. It was hotter in the past and it was colder in the past and now we have cooling trend that the scare mongers can’t explain so the obscure data to try and make facts look like the planet is warming when in fact it is cooling.
The planet also does not hold on to more heat when it warms up a tad. That has been established.
Under the circumstances forget cap and trade and the dog and pony show.
