Redistribution to tyrants   31/10/2009

So we combat global warming by stuffing billions into the pockets of thugs like Mugabe, Chavez and the Burma junta.

At a meeting in Brussels the European prime ministers and presidents agreed richer countries would have to subsidise poorer nations to the tune of 160 billion dollars a year by 2020.
Gordon Brown says an agreement is now more likely at Copenhagen as it commits wealthier countries to pay for the effects of climate change on developing nations.

And that’s after we pay billions in ETS compensation to power plants and the like as well as financial offsets to battlers who’ll struggle against a 10 per cent hike – at least – in household costs .
Yeah, that’ll work.
How on earth can socialists pretend to the higher intellectual ground when they think every problem can be solved by drawing from a bottomless well of money?

UPDATE:
Marc Sheppard has some fun with Al Gore’s Halloween Week scary story.

Such thaw, cautioned Gore, “could increase sea levels by 67 metres” and that “each one metre of sea level rise (SLR) is associated with 100 million climate refugees in the world.” That’s up a full 47 meters from the already horrifying predictions he’s made previously.

You’d laugh your backside off if it weren’t for the fact that some fools in powerful positions take him seriously.
