UN Global Warming Bash

The United Nations is sponsoring a big global warming party in Montreal. About 10,000 celebrants are partying down while no doubt indulging in the favorite pastimes of useless elitists: bloviating and bashing the USA. One of our many sins in their eyes is not having consented to slitting our own wrists by signing the Kyoto Protocol, which would have no significant effect on the possibly fictional phenomenon of global warming, but a very severe effect on our economy.
Among those sipping champagne and nibbling caviar that American taxpayers probably helped finance (we pay 22% of the UN's extravagant bills), you will be unlikely to find any of the over 17,000 signatories of the Global Warming Review Petition Project, scientists who have affirmed the following:
A review of the research literature concerning the environmental consequences of increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to the conclusion that increases during the 20th Century have produced no deleterious effects upon global weather, climate, or temperature. Increased carbon dioxide has, however, markedly increased plant growth rates. Predictions of harmful climatic effects due to future increases in minor greenhouse gases like CO2 are in error and do not conform to current experimental knowledge.
Whether anyone other than Al Gore seriously believes that the Kyoto Protocol could have a significant beneficial effect on the Earth's climate is doubtful, but as WorldNetDaily observes, there are other reasons for the corrupt Lilliputians who make up the UN to support it:
The U.N. and the rest of the world want to bring the United States under the control of an international authority. The Kyoto Protocol was thought to be just the treaty to do it. The International Criminal Court was also expected to bring the U.S. further under U.N. authority, but President Bush said no to both.
Fortunately there are very few in the US Government nutty enough to support Kyoto (the Senate voted 95–0 to nix it). We would hardly want our economic future in the hands of the same sleazy UN nincompoops who covertly sided with Saddam Hussein in order to suck in Oil-for-Food loot, and who not so covertly hate America and everything it stands for.
