The climate summit at Copenhagen is rapidly descending into farce. The African countries walked out in outrage over the one sided proposals put forward by the Danes who are presiding over the conference. The western countries want to tear up the Kyoto protocol and sign a treaty which would treat everyone the same, the rapists of mother earth and the victims of the rape who live in the third world. Now Hedegaard the presiding Danish minister has resigned claiming that it was decided beforehand because with heads of states arriving it was only proper that the prime minister chaired the conference. Everyone was taken by complete surprise but Gordon Brown provided the proverbial fig leaf by claiming that he knew all along. The most believable explanation would be that the lady was seen as a craven, racist and shameless tout for the western, read white, countries and lost any shred of credibility. Why would Denmark behave in this dishonorable and servile manner? Why would Norway award a Nobel prize to Obama for doing nothing? The answer usually lies in lucre, filthy though it may be. Is their something in their economic state that they are hiding? We remember Iceland. Maybe the divorce settlement of Tiger Woods will help.
