Copenhagen.
Where now they believe they can implement no action, but hopefully reach an agreement. All that effort to fly 115 representatives (and relevant/non-relevant staff who want a trip to Denmark), and the pollution to agree to something not binding anyway. Kev's reason for going maybe because we dont have fast enough internets speed to videoconfernce?
*facepalm
smells of 'hollowmen', maybe Kev watched it, got some pointers

15,000 official delegates, over 45,000 present in the city, says Copenhagen officials.
It's nuts.
But uh, last I paid any attention to it, I heard Kevin was going there early, so he might of been there =P

Amusing how when Obama announced he would dash to the early stages of the summit, Rudd announced he too was going early. Then Obama decided he would wait till later in the summit and whaddaya know Rudd reconsidered and will now go later as well.
And they said Howard brown-nosed the Yanks!

45000 folk. ******** me.
Will they make this junket carbon neutral? I think KRudd has a copy of 'Being a popular president for idiots', it is getting embarrassing. I think Kev must have taken the Howard years as 'If you can brownnose a president, I can do better'
'No you can't'
'Yes I can'...etc.
I had thought that Australia was going to change from trading purely in rhetoric (except for workchoices, asylum seeker policies), Howard got voted out, and now it looks like we got another.
*sigh.
I was all for Obama too, as a man of action, but throwing another 30k at Afghanistan, where now it looks like we are just funding a civil war, which is just what a corrupt govt wants to go on forever.
*sigh

I pray for civil war. I never got to go to combat in the Marines, not that I believed in killing the middle eastern people, I was strongly and am strongly against it, thinking the whole 9/11 bogusness is a fabrication of American society to give them a non reproachable reason to go to war, which they would've done anyways. I pray for civil way, I want to take my country with each bullet, each street corner, and every blood thirsty day, afterall, it IS always a good day to die. (seeing how no day is more desirable than another)

I heard on the news coming home from work that our fair country is trying to wriggle out of our obligations KRudd so proudly threw on the table at Copenhagen, only to discover (me, bet Penny knew), that in the last 20 years our emmissions (through natural and manmade) have risen by 82%, and the targets proposed are really pissweak in comparison.
No wonder Howard didnt ******** sign Kyoto.
Having protestors banging their cowhide drums howling outside, I almost thought I was at a G20 summit, not one where govts are trying to control the s**t we spew forth, so I guess the only people thinking they are doing any good are those in the conference, not outside in the real world.
Yay for voting.
Not that there really is much that can be done until the last drop of petrol has been spent, and I suppose a 'committee' addressing emmissions is a good thing, but if I wanted to hear anymore bullshit, I would have run for parliment myself.

......so. They finally agreed. To meet up again somewhere warmer, and do all this s**t again.
Their actions to fly all around the world suggests that noone really believes in climate change, or don't really give a s**t.
Just to look like they do.

I was getting the impression they just couldn't agree on stupid semantic s**t. One of the diplomats was being interviewed and he said that they were arguing over the purpose of the negotiations or some s**t for the whole damn day.
Well, I think that hearts are in the right places, anyways.

The Curse I was getting the impression they just couldn't agree on stupid semantic s**t. One of the diplomats was being interviewed and he said that they were arguing over the purpose of the negotiations or some s**t for the whole damn day. Well, I think that hearts are in the right places, anyways. I sincerely hope so, but i am becoming increasingly more sceptical. And the leader-o-the-opposition may be *shudder* on the right track. Maybe PM was trying to hide a tax with climate change bullshit. It doesn't help that the govt is still trying to push thru some ******** law on carbon trading. Why? He couldn't ******** do it at Copenhagen, and possibly that it was never intended as such, but why market it the way they did. Like it was some meeting of the bloody Superfriends? Now, no politician like bad press, I'd say we won't hear much about the Climate from the govt for a while. Penny says they are still going to belt out a target goddammit, but why not just start doing s**t, rather than just forming another commitee. I am funding this junket through my taxes, and I don't mind how they choose to spend it, but I do if it is going to pay for the bullshit to go on. Now, today, the focus is on health. i mean you gotta start on what hits the voters personally, not this wizardry about the climatechange. Because they have a pledge to take over state health if it isn't meeting standards. Could have funded it with a carbon tax. And we'd have been none the wiser. I mean, those scary ads of a kid hanging off a tree did diddly squat around the negotiation table.
