The raid on the Western treasuries is on again, but today with a new rationale to fit current ideological fashion. With socialism dead, the gigantic heist is now proposed as a sacred service of the newest religion: environmentalism.
Socialism is dead?? WTF is Kraut talking about -- too much ouzo? C'mon, this whole shebang is socialism in sheep's clothing. Well, duh.
One of the major goals of the Copenhagen climate summit is another NIEO shakedown [..] Politically it's an idea of genius, engaging at once every left-wing erogenous zone: rich man's guilt, post-colonial guilt, environmental guilt.
This naked assertion of vast executive power in the name of the environment is the perfect fulfillment of the prediction of Czech President (and economist) Vaclav Klaus that environmentalism is becoming the new socialism, i.e., the totemic ideal in the name of which government seizes the commanding heights of the economy and society.
OK, OK, finally Kraut gets it. Anyone else, besides some random knuckledragging Neanderthals?
Reaction: Lumumba Stanislaus-Kaw Di-Aping, representing the G77 bloc of developing nations and China at the Copenhagen talks, described the EU pledges as "insignificant".
"I believe [the funds] are not only insignificant, they actually breed even more distrust on the intentions of European leaders on climate change," he said.

I was commenting as I was reading the article. Fyi, it's called a "running commentary", Herr Rott.
I was commenting as I was reading your comments. FYI, it's called a meta-running commentary.
