Environmentalists Cutting Off Their Noses to Spite…
This is Bjorn Lomborg in The Wall Street Journal:
Just last week, activists from the international aid agency Oxfam reported evidence that European countries were planning to “cannibalize” existing development aid budgets and repackage them as climate-change assistance. According to Oxfam, if rich nations diverted $50 billion to climate change, at least 4.5 million children could die and 8.6 million fewer people could have access to HIV/AIDS treatment. And what would we get for that $50 billion? Well, spending that much on Kyoto-style carbon-emissions cuts would reduce temperatures by all of one-thousandth of one degree Fahrenheit over the next hundred years.
This video was shown in the opening ceremony of the
climate change conference in Copenhagen.
Here is a CEI spoof on it:
These people are idiots.
Worse, Larry. They are giving idiots a bad name.
This is supposed to be a scholarly, rational meeting about a serious global problem?
This is like using children as weapons.
Shouldn’t there be a law against abusing children in this way? No doubt this video will also be shown in schools to scare children and give them real nightmares.
