OTOYK:

EU states lose grip on climate change targets (Mark Beunderman, 11/18/05, EU Observer)

Further efforts are needed to tackle climate change, the UN has warned in a fresh report, with greenhouse gas emissions in many EU states rising instead of decreasing.

The Bonn-based United Nations Climate Change secretariat in a report released on Thursday (17 November) warned that the western world is losing its grip on the climate change problem.


Gosh, we were sure it would work....

Hot air emissions from EU states are easily curtailed by mussling bureaucrats. That would set off global cooling pronto.

There is something very postmodern about feeling guilt and failure because you are losing your grip on a problem that probably doesn't exist and couldn't be gripped if it did.

I think we could solve this problem by running freon in our oil pipelines once a month.
