Denmark Issues Greenhouse Gas Emissions Draft Proposal

Denmark, host of the forthcoming UN Global Climate Change conference, has issued draft proposals for halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2010.

The draft proposes that rich countries should be responsible for the bulk of the cuts, to account for a drop of 80% in global emission cuts by 2050.

It also suggests that 2020 should be the target year when global emissions will peak. However, there is no mention of any mid-term target for developed countries, a key demand from poorer nations.

Danish prime minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen has said that he wants a short and precise "politically binding" agreement, with annexes outlining each country's obligations, such as cuts in emissions by 2020 by developed nations.

He also wants to set a deadline in 2010 by when the deal has to be translated into a legal treaty.

Developing countries led by China and India are also expected to table texts that they would like to be turned into a basis for negotiations.

Hopes are growing that a substantive political pact can be agreed at the December meeting in Copenhagen, especially since both the US and China declared their draft targets during the past few days.

The imaginary science of man-made global warning can now be entered into the infamous history of politicized science. Those who hijack science, are not interested in truth.

Trofim Lysenko, the man who ruled the life sciences of Soviet Russia from the late 1920s until the early 1960s comes to mind. He had a theory which fit Marxism perfectly: acquired characteristics can be inherited. This is not true, of course, but Lysenko had the Politburo and Stalin behind him. It was science that fit the political needs of the Bolsheviks, and so it was science backed by the awful power of the party and the state.

Lysenko's experiments were heralded, although the experiments were never replicated. The Soviet Union was full of botanists, biologists, geneticists, and other life scientists, and it was obvious to anyone with a free mind that Lysenko was propounding nonsense. But it was not until 1962 that the Soviet government allowed a real critique of his cartoon science. Why?

Because in the Soviet Union, as in Nazi Germany, truth was never "objective." Science could literally be "Aryan," or "proletariat," or otherwise fit into some sort of sociopolitical mindset.

Fast forward to present day and Al Gore's politicizing the theory of global warming.

Honest scientists were imprisoned, tortured, and killed because they rested on the thin reed of the scientific method, which ill withstood the hurricane of politically correct science. Inconceivably, the life sciences of the largest nation in the world taught blatantly false "science" for decades. When criticism of Lysenko, an honored figure in Soviet "science" until 1964, was finally permitted, his acolytes realized that fear, bribes, lies, and false honors work much better than empiricism where science devoid of God is concerned. The ghosts spawned by Lysenko still haunt us today. The "science" of a modern Lysenko -- Albert Gore, Jr.-- is totalitarian nonsense. The only question is this: How many good men must be consigned to the gulag before the dulled consciences of the administrators of academic "learning" smell Lysenko's stench?

Things are really heating up in Copenhagen ahead of the UN climate summit there next week.

The city sent out postcards to area hotels, urging guests not to solicit sex from prostitutes while they’re in town, German magazine Der Spiegel reports.

They went so far as to come up with an eco-friendly tagline: “Be sustainable — don’t buy sex.â€

Copenhagen, it’s worth noting, is in Denmark, one of those European countries that gets very specific about its prostitution laws: The act is legal, but it’s not legal to run a brothel.

The girls didn't take the flyers lying down, if you will. They lashed back (whapisshhh!) at the city by offering free sex to anyone who flashes one of the warning post cards and their conference ID badge, the Web site avisen.dk reports.

And now, of course, it’s being called the “Gropenhagen Conference.â€

You know it’s only a matter of time before there are Gropenhagen post cards, T-shirts and coffee mugs.

Now that is how you stimulate an economy.

Is it hot in here — Or is it just the global warming talking?
