If only ...
Delingpole writes at length about the Chinese view of the Carbon Cult.
This isn't new, and doesn't really need all the detail. Anyone who's been following the treaties (Rio, Kyoto, Copenhagen) knows that the prime purpose of the treaties is to destroy commerce and industry in the West while granting China and India a free hand to generate pollution.
Or in even simpler terms: Maurice Strong defected to Peking. Really all you need to know.
Toward the end Delingpole makes one of those odd British misreadings of America:
Bad bet. It would be wonderful, but it ain't gonna happen.
Delingpole seems to believe that the Republican organization is an opposition party. In fact the Republicans in DC support the Carbon Cult even more enthusiastically than the Dems. Cap-n-trade is McCain's legislation, not Obama's legislation. It's true that the heroic James Inhofe, the ONLY member of Congress who opposes the Carbon Cult on basic principles, is a Republican, but the rest of the chickenshit party refuses to support him. The Wall Street Mafia wants cap-n-trade, so the Repooflicans want cap-n-trade. ¶ 7:00 AM

This truth hasn’t hit home yet: not in the EU; not in the Cleggeron Coalition; not in Obama’s USA. Here’s my bet. The first to see sense on this will be whichever Republican administration takes over from Obama’s one-term presidency in 2012. From that point on – by which time we’ll have had two more exceptionally cold winters to concentrate our minds – British and European environmental policy will look increasingly foolish and irrelevant.
Bad bet. It would be wonderful, but it ain't gonna happen.
