Green knickers in a twist alert!

(Via Brazos de Dios Cantina) Over at The Edge of England's Sword, Iain Murray says those pesky Rooskies have put the hammer down on the tree huggers:

One of the reasons I've been so busy is the current World Climate Conference in Russia. It's probably the biggest story in the world right now, but is being ignored in favor of local ephemera. Basically, Kyoto is dead and the claim of 'scientific consensus' about anthropogenic climate change lies in ruins. BBC environment correspondent Tim Hirsch is one of the few reporters to realize its significance:

Taken together with a succession of Russian scientists using this conference to cast doubt on the science of global warming, the event is proving something of a nightmare for supporters of worldwide action to combat climate change.

Russians, chess players all, delight in outflanking maneuvers they term "the knight's move." They've completely bamboozled the enviros here, who thought that this would be another grim worryfest like the IPCC meetings

Dang, I was counting on a ring side seat when the Greenies started throwing virgins in the volcanoes to placate the earth gods!

Best line:

Instead, you have the spectacle of the head of the Russian Academy of Scientists ... saying that the only people who would be affected by the abandonment of Kyoto "would be several thousand people who make a living attending conferences on global warming"

Bwahahaha! But being a Russian, he forgot the professional Ecoweenies in the West.
