Posted by: McQ on Friday, June 27, 2008 Of course you knew that the inevitable result of buying into the premise of AGW was going to be something called 'climate justice' didn't you: Former UN secretary general Kofi Annan on Tuesday called for 'climate justice', saying that it was polluters who should pay for the effects of climate change, and not the poorest and most vulnerable.Unfortunately we have two presidential candidates who are likely to be amenable to this nonsense in some monetary form or another. And, of course, this form of "justice" will see every country but first world countries classified as "poor and vulnerable". That, of course, means that controlling pollution isn't the real purpose of this - redistribution of income is instead. While the first world taxes itself into economic oblivion, "the poor and vulnerable" will be polluting to their hearth's content and, most likely, having it subsidized by those paying the tax. That's "justice" in today's world. |
