Delegates at Cancun “climate” (—wink!) summit sign petition to ban “dihydrous monoxide” (water)

YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK:

Not only does this show that most government “climate” nobs are, well, “ill-informed”….  no let me start again.  I’m trying extremely hard to be diplomatic and avoid my usual hyper-adjective-a-palooza, but they make it impossible, so I’m going to go ahead and call them total idiots, in the interest of being pithy yet honest.  And not mere idiots either — idiots to the point of being dangerous, given the powers we have allowed them to have over us and our lives. 

UN delegates sign petition to ban water
… A group of college students called Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, or CFACT, circulated the fake petition at the conference this week.

“It was designed to show that if official UN delegates could be duped by college students into banning water, that they could essentially fall for anything,” the group wrote on its website.

“Almost every delegate that collegian students approached signed their petition to ban that all-too dangerous substance.”…

It also helps proves that the “man-made global warming” debate is rooted in left-wing, progressive ideology rather than any knowledge or respect for science — or even due process, such as actually reading the thing and carefully considering it before signing it (as per Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and their “healthcare”  (—wink!) bill which nobody read or remotely understood before voting YES).  For example also see how most delegates also signed a petition ”…that called for the U.N. to destabilize the U.S. economy, including imposing trade restrictions and sanctions, as a means of punishing the U.S. for its stance on the Kyoto Protocol.”

And by the way it also proves that they’re such elitists and so out of touch with popular culture that they don’t even know what’s going on around them.  They haven’t even heard of this now almost stale trick of getting people to sign a petition against “dihydrous monoxide” ….water, as it turns out?  I first saw this about four years ago on TV, and have seen it being done by two or three groups now. 

Buffoons. 

Vote liberal.

EXTRA SENSIBLE (All you “climate” delegates can go ahead and simply ignore this just as you ignore all common sense):  famed columnist Phyllis Schlafly writes today:

… It had little to do with any science about climate change and everything to do with trying to get the United States and other industrialized nations to redistribute their wealth to the poorer nations under the supervision of eager United Nations bureaucrats.

Like previous climate change conferences, COP 16 deliberately pitted the poor countries against the rich countries, encouraging the poor countries to demand what the rich countries have without earning or paying for it.

This is the internationalist version of the basic Marxist tactic called the class war. …

…  The poor nations at COP 16 presented a document called “Declaration From the South-South Summit on Climate Justice and Finance.”

It claimed that climate change is “an economic and social crisis, a political crisis, a food and energy crisis, and an ecological crisis.”

This diatribe called for “climate justice, ecological justice, economic justice, gender justice and historical justice.” Its presenters concluded by chanting, “Let’s globalize the struggle!” …
