Obama - "China's useful green idiot"
James Delingpole:
... Republican senators Roy Blunt (Missouri) and Jim Inhofe (Oklahoma) ... have just launched a challenge to the bilateral climate change “agreement” reached by President Obama with China last year ...Happy Earth Hour!
... Under this “agreement”, the US will cut its emissions by 26 per cent by 2025 while China will increase its “non-fossil-fuel share of energy to around 20 per cent” by 2030.
... An “agreement” in diplomacy-speak is legally or politically binding. ... That is why both negotiating parties took care in the finished document never to use that word. Instead they chose the much vaguer word “announcement”...
... By 2030, China will be producing more CO2 than Japan, the US and the EU combined. In this context, America’s carbon reductions emission targets can properly seen for the meaningless gesture politics they really are. ... So Senators Blunt and Inhofe are absolutely right to challenge this plan ...

... The universities, under the banner of hollow diversity and the even more hollow and self-contradictory banner of tolerance, are mutating into thought-suppressing machines.
... The universities are running a risky race. The more they quiver before the onslaught of the cause-mongers, refuse to take clear and bold stands against protest intimidation tactics, the more they lose their centuries-old prestige. It is a situation that should concern everybody.

Not unpredictably, the government's public summary for the Ottawa event completely ignored that testimony. So Tom Harris wrote a complaint to the Environment Ministry closing with:

"... Given that the Ottawa "Public Summary" has been sanitized in this way, how can the public trust the government to accurately reflect the public input given in other town hall meetings across Ontario?"Good question.

Political correctness has important Christian issues being stifled while minor Muslim issues get undue attention
