Copenhagen Crash: Danish Text Has Socialists at Each Other’s Throats

The British newspaper the Guardian reported a bombshell from Copenhagen today as a leaked document known as the “Danish text” revealed plans by “rich” nations (i.e. those nations that were smart enough to adopt free-market democracies to produce tremendous wealth for themselves…before stupidly moving to embrace counterproductive socialism) to turn plans for a UN climate treaty on it’s head.

The Guardian now reports talks are in “disarray.”  What a shame (not).

The document is also being interpreted by developing countries as setting unequal limits on per capita carbon emissions for developed and developing countries in 2050; meaning that people in rich countries would be permitted to emit nearly twice as much under the proposals.

The so-called Danish text, a secret draft agreement worked on by a group of individuals known as “the circle of commitment” – but understood to include the UK, US and Denmark – has only been shown to a handful of countries since it was finalised this week.

The agreement, leaked to the Guardian, is a departure from the Kyoto protocol’s principle that rich nations, which have emitted the bulk of the CO2, should take on firm and binding commitments to reduce greenhouse gases, while poorer nations were not compelled to act.

Imagine that: “rich” countries don’t want to turn into Third-World cesspools.  Perhaps President Obama and other leaders in the West are slightly smarter than I’ve given them credit for (even if it was driven by the socialist elite nest-feathering instinct).  Although that “circle of commitment” business certainly sounds creepy enough to fit this Orwellian bunch (are secret handshakes in blood involved?).

If socialists really want equality as they claim, why shouldn’t the dirty nations–which have so far been given a pass–have to trade places and now toe the line?

Really, if we are to believe the silly hypothesis of anthropogenic global warming and accept that our emissions are about to cook our lovely planet, everybody should be cutting emissions, not just the evil “rich” countries.

But of course it isn’t about equality with socialists, is it?  It isn’t really about saving the planet with socialists, is it?

It’s about demonizing the free market, punishing capitalism, consolidating power over the masses, and securing as many creature comforts for the ruling elites as possible, isn’t it?

I just love it when their duplicitousness is exposed, don’t you?

I’ll love it even more in 2010 and 2012 when most of these socialists are gone from our government and our freedom is no longer in the gun sights of these people.
