SOLO-International Press Release:

Clueless in Copenhagen

December 18, 2009

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key is the latest in an unedifying line-up of thugs and thieves to contribute to the life-threatening gases being emitted in Copenhagen, notes SOLO Principal Lindsay Perigo.

Capitulating completely to the hysterical superstition that man-made CO2 emissions are now causing the climate to do what it has always done—change—Key has told the Conference on Climate Change that any deal done must include everyone and be binding. "A clear and firm signal must be sent to the world. We must change attitudes, drive low-carbon development, spur innovation and deployment of technologies, and influence priorities for finance and investment." he said.

"In other words," says Perigo, "we must repudiate prosperity and turn our countries into green-fascist states where impoverished citizens are taxed to the hilt for the privilege of being ground down into even greater destitution.

"This will be music to the ears of Robert Mugabe, another of the thugs and thieves in attendance, whose economy is already a model of Green virtues. It will be music to the ears of Mugabe's fellow-Marxist Hugo Chavez who has already told the conference that capitalism is doing the planet in.

"Mr. Key would have been well-advised to avail himself of the wisdom of the many distinguished critics of this sackcloth-and-ashes hysteria who have placed themselves in the vicinity for the duration. He might have contemplated the impossibility of regulating the sun. He might have studied the way government-financed scientists have massaged the evidence to suit their parasitic agendas. Instead, he has distinguished himself by not distinguishing himself from this motley array of life-haters who have flown in on private jets and spouted their poison in halls whose warming is man-made—to man's eternal credit.

"Ironically, the most reluctant participants in this orgy of guilt and self-mortification would appear to be Russia and China. Perhaps they know something Mr. Key has yet to learn about controlled economies.

"Mr. Key assuredly deserves the destitution he seeks for the rest of us. We look forward to seeing him clambering ashore somewhere around the New Zealand coastline in a few months' time, having conscientiously sought to minimise his carbon footprint on his return from Copenhagen—the clueless clot," Perigo concludes contemptuously.
