UN Climocrat Deserts the Sinking UNFCCC
Polar bears may be doing fine, but the climate commissars of the United Nations are feeling the heat, as their claims of scientific ”consensus” melt under them. Now we have the first big UN climocrat to desert the cooling/warming/sinking ship. Yvo de Boer, head of the UN’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, has announced he will be resigning as of July 1, 2010.
De Boer’s departure can’t come soon enough. For almost four years, this ramped-up Dutch bureaucrat has been one of the chief purveyors of climate alarmism, carbon-emitting his way around the globe from Bonn to Bali to Copenhagen, pushing UN plans for a global “climate change regime.”
Who is this guy? If you’ve tuned in to coverage of any of those grand UN pow-wows, where potentates gather around the cracked-crab buffets and Bali beach cabanas to determine your carbon rations, de Boer has been one of the stern faces at the podium — lecturing us all on the need to avert apocalypse by re-engineering the economy of the planet as he sees fit.
No one elected de Boer to his high-level perch. He was appointed in August, 2006 as one of the parting gifts to the world of the same former Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who presided as the UN’s chief administrator of the giant scam known as Oil-for-Food. De Boer is neither a scientist nor an economist. His UN bio tells us he has a “technical degree in social work for the Netherlands.” Just before Annan exalted him to climate chief of the world, de Boer held the job of — are you impressed yet? — Director of International Affairs of the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and Environment of the Netherlands. (That’s especially rich in light of de Boer’s apparent obliviousness that UN warnings about the impending deluge of Holland were, like the warnings about melting Himalayan glaciers, somewhat over-excited).
I wonder how many millions of dollars his bloated retirement package consists of. UN bereaucrats are famously liberal with the aid they provide to themselves.
Does anyone think that this fraudulent little drone of a man ever miss any meals?
I cannot wait for the American revolution.
Thank you, Ms. Rosett, for your reminder regarding the need for vigilance.
These climate fraudsters, and their political enablers, have finally figured out a way (quite literally) to tax everything that moves. They won’t give up easily.
The Liberal whores at AP completely ignore the FACT of the AGW hoaxes coming into play.

Yvo, buddy, let me tell you about working in private enterprise. In the first month, it’s a honeymoon as they help you find the bathroom. In the second month, they will rip you several new *ssh*l*s. You will be fired and in the dustbin of history in record time. It could not happen to a more deserving guy. The US should pull out of the UN and create an organization of states that are democratic and free.
How about having the UN experience some real warming by having it relocate to Dubai and having the US exit that corrupt organization.
Cya Yvo, don’t let the door hit you in the a$$ on your way out!
I was humored to see that his resignation had absolutely nothing to do with the exposure of climate fraud and UN incompetence. I found the ‘background’ spin he orchestrated, that it was due to the failure of copenhagen, rather unpersuasive.
Mr. De Boer: Good bye and good riddance.
Dr. Pachauri, you’re next.
Mexico City…November…UN Conference on Global Warming…
Anyone got the phone number of the Mayor, need to sell him some snowplows.
What’s the carbon footprint of melting tar and plucking chickens?
We’re gonna need a lot of each before this score is settled.
Thanks again Claudia;
Let me use a sinking ship/boat analogy. In order to sink decisively, a ship needs to be blown apart; with a direct hit from a large, powerful and effective piece of well aimed ordinance. With a less than stellar hit; everyone on the ship will grab a bucket and try to bail they’re hearts out to keep it afloat. Bailing every scrap of evidence that the ship is sinking…
As yet, I haven’t seen an effective hit. It’s a long time until November; the ship is still very much afloat:
1) It’s not the science or lack of it, that drives this particular ship.
2) It’s not unelected officials and useful idiots like Gore and de Boer that drive this either; they’re more like deck-scrubbers in training.
3) There is a Captain onboard that knows that there is enough fuel to sail the ship to any port he wishes to repair minor damage, Mexico as an example.
4) Meanwhile, the Patrons are sequestered in anonymity, free to continue full steam ahead with the real agenda.
5) All the patrons, the point men, and the useful idiots; know each other very well…wink…wink.
Thanks for the treasure of public information dissemination Claudia; please keep it up. I look frward to reading your next piece.

Yvo is that a name or a diease? Glad he is gone, and how do you pronounce Yvo?
Good, we don’t need any advice concerning the environment from the Dutch. They are a charter member, after all, of the ‘Wetland Destroyers’ Hall of Fame.
“A Man With A Briefcase Can Steal More Money Than Any Man With A Gun”…
Add a Ph.D. and you can steal bundles.
Tell me, how do we sue these thieves for all the money they’ve stolen?
Keep hammering away at these fraudsters!!!!
Great work!!!
