I laughed. I forgot about it. There is only one date that we should take seriously on climate politics. That is January 20, 2009. When we finally get rid of the prick. And god help us, and the planet if we get another GOP president in office. If that happens, then I will reconsider my scepticism regarding the Book of Revelations, because the anti-Christ will truly be on the throne.

How effective do you think continuing to call those who deny climate change jackasses or whatever will be in finding a solution?

If you care about fixing this impending disaster, you take a seat at the table, even if it's with the ecological equivalent of the devil.  Otherwise, you're just fodder for the fire.

the devil admits there is a problem, and that something should be done about it. Otherwise there are a few hundred other things you could be doing that would be more effective. But, what the hell, we are talking about a bunch of diplomats and they are used to spinning their wheels, sitting across the table from people who haven't the slightest intention of doing anything about the problem on the agenda. See Darfur. Ask the Iranians. Look at all the problems these stupid world summits have not solved.

There is one reason that Bush is doing this. His name is Arnold and his office is in Sacramento. The Terminator is at the vanguard of a whole class of Republican governors and other local officials who have not drunk the denier Kool Aid that has always been in the White House refrigerator under this administration. They are not former oil or coal men. That is why the devil is at the table.
