“Copenhagen never made sense.”

Of course it did. Don’t you think it was set up with malice aforethought as a money-making opportunity on the part of Yurp, Africa and the rest of the UN’s starving-to-death-in-splendor denizens? Forget the drowning polar bears. It was *always* about “taking from the rich (America) and giving to the poor (everyone else)”. The only problem is that it’s only now becoming obvious that “the rich” (America) isn’t any more, and both the drowning polar bears and the starving Africans will have to fend for themselves, because Joe Sixpack is unemployed and scrambling himself.

The question now becomes whether or not China is rich just on paper, or whether it really does have the resources to allow itself to be Robin Hood’ed to death by the UN and EU like America has been for the last 70 years (since the end of WW2).
