Hillary Clinton, not wanting to be marginalized by President Obama, has starting apologizing for America now. While she was in India, she apologized for global warming. No, really:
“We acknowledge now with President Obama that we have made mistakes in the United States, and we along with other developed countries have contributed most significantly to the problem that we face with climate change,” she said. “We are hoping a great country like India will not make the same mistakes.”
So, India is leading by example by not having the telephone infrastructure America has, but having 500 million cell phones. Let’s look at that a different way. According to the latest estimates, India has over 1.1 billion people. That means, that more than half of the people in India have not way of communicating via telephone, because India is progressive enough to “leap frog” over home phone lines.
Brilliant.
I don’t know which is more repugnant, the apology tour continuing or that climate change is now what I’m supposed to feel guilty about.
India, though, isn’t buying it:
At a photo op to highlight green building technology that could reduce energy consumption, India’s Environmental Minister Jairam Ramesh said his country would never agree to cap its carbon emissions. The United States wants such a move from the world’s largest developing economies in order to curb global warming, but India and others argue it would stunt their economic growth.
“India’s position, let me be clear, is that we are simply not in the position to take legally binding emissions targets,” Ramesh said.
So while our administration is taking action that will stunt our economic growth, countries like India are refusing to buy into the same plans. This should end will for us.
For the record, the temperature still hasn’t risen above 0 in the Arctic. It wasn’t too long ago that the eco-Marxists were using the melting sea ice to ush their environmental agenda. Remember, all the polar bears were going to drown. In 2007, there was a 9 percent increase in ice. This year it’s likely to be greater.
Here’s a graph showing the increase in CO2 globally in relation to global temperatures:
