What I don't get is how the world's two biggest polluters - the US and China - are able to trade tokens like freaking Pokemon cards to allow them to produce *more* pollution each year, yet say they're producing less. They also manage to get away with conforming to regulations that they practically set themselves through political (ie. stubborn, but stubborn with nuclear weapons) by getting these tokens from nations that don't pollute as much as their "alloted" pollution max limit.
What's worse, is that there are these smarmy, sweating, wants-to-hump-your-leg slimey people who call themselves Brokers of this pollution credit scam. And, surprisingly enough, I know one of them.
He used to go out with an ex of mine from a few years ago. What. a. twat.
This guy says he believes that he is working to better the environment and all of mankind, that he is doing the world a big favour...
If he really believes that, then he is a fucking stupid, manicured and arse-crack-waxing nancy-boy. If he's lying then he's a fucking lying [as above].
Whenever I see him, he always brings it up.
I think that he likes seeing me get really pissed off at him and start bawling him out.
I think he likes to do that himself - defending himself using the people and the environment and the world as his fantasy shield...
Really, it is just because I can't stand the fact that he says he is right and it's obvious to everyone that he's either stupid, in which case he needs silencing before he does any damage, or he's a liar.
In which case he has to tell the truth and I'm not allowed to pin him down and put cigarettes out on his face, put something to his throat and immobilize him or put a rag over his face and water-board him. Not even allowed to spear vital parts of his anatomy with needles and, yes - not even put him in a nice warm bubble bath (after a freezing shower) and then slowly up the voltage on the power transformer wired to the bathtub...
I like snow and the cold (not too cold!) and the warmer winters and stuff.
Why'd they have to have the climate conference at a time when everyone's busy with xmas and enjoying the "climateshiftiscoming" snow..?
