Bali: Story Behind the Story
Filed Under: World
Interesting piece by Peter Foster in the Financial Post called Road to Bali.
The fate of the Earth hangs in the balance in Bali, but the issue is not whether humanity will succumb to a “climate crisis,” or how the international community might craft a successor to the tattered Kyoto Accord (Let’s call it KyoTwo). The real theme of this United Nations gabfest - like that of its 12 predecessors, and of the hundreds, if not thousands, of related meetings - is whether globalization and trade liberalization will be allowed to continue, with a corresponding increase in wealth, health and welfare, or whether the authoritarian enemies of freedom (who rarely if ever recognize themselves as such) will succeed in using environmental hysteria to undermine capitalism and increase their Majesterium.

Good article. This is exactly what Patrick Moore has been saying for years and it’s still exactly correct. It’s about the world’s left wing and money. It’s not about climate. That’s just the cover.

Hi Bill,
I’ve written much about this as well. But that is a very good piece by Foster.

It is good to know that the left has competition when it comes to wild-eyed conspiracy theories.
