The head UN official in charge of fooling people that industry is responsible for global warming, and that wealth redistribution through carbon credits and climate impact funds is the way to save us from ourselves, is feeling "helpless" that his agency and the media haven't totally fooled a world leader enough to galvanize the worldwide hoax. Was that characterization a little strong? The media has bought into the hoax, according to Yvo de Boer:
"Just opening a newspaper" shows evidence of this sea change in people's attitudes toward climate change, de Boer told The Associated Press during a visit to Paris, where he was attending a conference on illegal logging. He noted that global warming has become a key campaign issue in elections from Australia to Canada.
And he adds this:
"We are at the stage where we need a mandate from the level of heads of state to get the climate change negotiations moving again," de Boer said.
So, fooling the media and activist groups isn't enough, since no world leader has taken the time to push for stopping global industry in its tracks. Maybe that global war on terrorism and security issues might be taking up most of the G-8's leaders' attention? You know, a real problem, and something they can do something about, instead of fanciful notions of stopping people from breathing, cutting back on cattle farts, and preventing forests from composting.
