Nobody said climate does not change.
the inconvenient part is that for the past 10 years we have been cooling.... its totally screwing up their models.
So does that mean we are cleaner? Could be, we don't throw lead in the air like we used to, our cars are cleaner today, with less smog like emissions out the tail pipe. The Amazon has been reclaiming clear cut lands because of farm failures. Oh yeah, and the sun has been quiet.
I would be happy if we stopped throwing waste into our waterways, stop buring garbage and burn it (low emissions with plasma), I wold be happy to have all the coal fired gen stations get scrubbers installed. There are lots of things we could be doing to clean up our act.
Copenhagen is about money. The developing countries claim they should be paid for the privilege of not making smoke because the West had 150 years freestart. BS, they benefit from the 150 years with new clean tech that we developed so they get to spring board over the hard times. The benefit from the drugs we developed, the Internet, and new systems that make life better than the rural stone-age many are emerging from. this is another attempt at white mans guilt, nothing more nothing less.
If these developing countries would use thier own resources, to buy new tech instead of buying weapons and killing off thier own people (Africa) they would be better off. I hate to say it but many were better off under colonial rule than they are now as independent countries. We gave them schools, a public service, infrastructure, and they pissed it all away. Now they want money, no questions asked. Sorry, not from me
