Bali Summary: If Monbiot is Upset, it Was Productive

Hardcore lefty George Monbiot is upset that the US negotiated a deal that was in our best interest. To people like Moonbat, the only thing that should be negotiated is what he thinks is best for the world, not individual nations.

Well guess who Moonbat blames for the failures he perceives? That's right, the Goracle:

Most of the other governments insisted that the cuts be made at home. But Gore demanded a series of loopholes big enough to drive a Hummer through. The rich nations, he said, should be allowed to buy their cuts from other countries. When he won, the protocol created an exuberant global market in fake emissions cuts. The western nations could buy "hot air" from the former Soviet Union. Because the cuts were made against emissions in 1990, and because industry in that bloc had subsequently collapsed, the former Soviet Union countries would pass well below the bar. Gore's scam allowed them to sell the gases they weren't producing to other nations. He also insisted that rich nations could buy nominal cuts from poor ones. Entrepreneurs in India and China have made billions by building factories whose primary purpose is to produce greenhouse gases, so that carbon traders in the rich world will pay to clean them up.

Now how sweet is this? Moonbat takes his swipes at Bush, which is to be expected. However, he saves his real venom for Al Gore and unloads with both barrels. I love when liberals fight amongst themselves, it's so...laughable.

Moonbat can't understand that not only are his proposals unattainable, but they would also be rejected by every major nation. In defense of Gore (it's kind of like a brother thing, I can smack Gore around all I want but no one outside the family can), he's trying to hammer out something realistic, something he can say to the country that we can achieve. Moonbat's plans would have been laughed out of Washington just as the Kyoto Protocols were.
