Global Warmists Getting Hot Under the Collar in Copenhagen

The little countries are trying to force more money out of the big countries:

U.N. climate talks were thrown into disarray Monday as developing countries blocked negotiations, demanding that rich countries raise their pledges for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Representatives from developing countries said they refused to participate in any working groups at the 192-nation summit until the issue was resolved.

The move was a setback for the Copenhagen talks, which were already faltering over long-running disputes between rich and poor nations over emissions cuts and financing for developing countries to deal with climate change.

“Nothing is happening at this moment,” Zia Hoque Mukta, a delegate from Bangladesh, told The Associated Press. He said developing countries have demanded that conference president Connie Hedegaard bring the industrial nations’ emissions targets to the top of the agenda before talks can resume.

As Don Surber points out in his post, the whole set-up in Copenhagen is ridiculous.

They accused the developed world of being undemocratic because of a refusal to allow every tinhorn dictator in some itty-bitty state to have the same voice as nations representing tens and hundreds of millions of people.

Tuvalu, population 11,000, gets the same vote as China, population 1.3 billion? That is cuckoo.

That is the United Nations.

You can poke the big dog just so many times before the big dog bites, and right now the big dogs are getting a little tired of the yappy little toy poodles who have been given far more authority than they deserve at this conference.
