    Wow. You mean that the UN is again central to a multi-billion dollar boondoggle?
    Well, no shit, Shelock. Didn't all of us Anti-Kyoto folks already say this?

    There was never any proof that this money would be used for legitimate purpose and this shows why we should stop funding this fiasco.

    And to think of all the money wasted on this scam when it could have been used for something worth while...

    Because you are too accustomed to falsehood, perhaps.

    Leading academics and watchdog groups allege that the UN's main offset fund is being routinely abused by chemical, wind, gas and hydro companies who are claiming emission reduction credits for projects that should not qualify.

    Let's put the blame where it belongs - on the thieving corporations.

    Actually, somebody should tell me when something in the UN (except some bullshit Israel sanction) that they do efficiently.

    If "additionality" is impossible to prove then abuse is also impossible to prove.

    Kyoto, carbon trading and global warming have nothing to do about pollution and all about the UN's globalist, leftist, liberal fascist political agenda for an one world government...

    Even so, global wealth redistribution is not sheer waste.

    Yup. It's always those greedy western companies?

    The Stanford paper, by Victor and his colleague Michael Wara, found that nearly every new hydro, wind and natural gas-fired plant expected to be built in China in the next four years is applying for CDM credits, even though it is Chinese policy to encourage these industries


    This is proof that the Kyoto Accord is simply taking money from western countries to build Chinese inferstructure. Why would we help possibly the second strongest economy to build their projects.
    This is a scam.
