The problem is the world is divided in two; the first world whose democracies have allowed Greenies and smoked salmon socialists to thrive within society. For me if they had their way completely, we would all live in tree huts, be riding bikes and eating walnuts, cabbage and apples for breakfast, lunch and dinner! But back to the real world. Many, in fact most environmentalists’ arguments about what we are doing to this planet happen to be right on the money. The world is quickly going to hell in a hand basket and the fear is can the trend be reversed? My answer is no. I say no, because the other half of the world led by China, India and enemies of Europe and America will never be able to be contained. This get together in Copenhagen proved it. Even with the biggest crawler of a President ever elected, a British Prime Minister who should have chosen a career path of a local parish vicar and a bunch of weak kneed followers, China and their buddies had a field day rubbishing every point made by the free world.

What came out of all the hot air ended up not surprisingly being about three fifths of five eighths of very little. President Obama jumped on Air Force One with his tail between his legs, but probably still believing that sucking up to the enemy was the best method of diplomacy while the Cheshire cat Chinese leader gloated to his entourage “Just hammered another nail into America’s coffin!” Even that fat little midget from Venezuela was able to garner an additional hour of fame in Sweden. The United Nations were there in force I might add, which added to the farce as they are really only spokesman for all the so-called non-aligned nations.

My view is the nations who care should create new rules for their own countries on how they wish to counter global warming, stop trading with the polluters and definitely don’t embarrass themselves again by inviting the enemy to the table. China was better off under Chairman Mao where most Chinamen made a living off the land. The sooner the factories close down and people return to their shacks in the country, the better off they and the world would be. Russia, Venezuela and other nasty countries have no interest in restoring the world to being a better place because until their peoples win their freedom, greenies, smoke salmon socialists and tree-huggers will never be able to emerge. For the Western world we owe a huge debt of gratitude to organizations like Greenpeace, who once looked like a bunch of university drop out, anti-Vietnam protesters but who for forty years have fought diligently to make the intelligent ones amongst us see sense.
