"The abdication of the West

I usually add some gentle humor to these reports. Not today. Read this and weep.

... the decisions to be made here this week signal nothing less than the abdication of the West. The governing class in what was once proudly known as the Free World is silently, casually letting go of liberty, prosperity, and even democracy itself. No one in the mainstream media will tell you this, not
so much because they do not see as because they do not bl**dy care.

 All UN FCCC documents at the Cancun conference ... are drafted with what is called "transparent impenetrability". The intention is that the documents should not be understood, but that later we shall be told they were in the public domain all the time, so what are we complaining about?

...

Finance: Western countries will jointly provide $100 billion a year by 2020 to an unnamed new UN Fund.
...

The world-government Secretariat: In all but name, the UN Convention's Secretariat will become a world government directly controlling hundreds of global, supranational, regional, national and sub-national bureaucracies. It will receive the vast sum of taxpayers' money ostensibly paid by the West to the Third World for adaptation to the supposed adverse consequences of imagined (and imaginary) "global warming".
