    2012 UN climate summit to be hosted by oil churning Qatar

    So, it was confirmed today that Qatar will host the 2012 UN climate summit (COP18). At first I thought it was just an ironic tweet when I saw it. However, it is true: Qatar, the largest per capita producer of petroleum products in the world, will host and chair COP18.

    Guess it shows how bad things have got in the UN climate talks.
    Thanks to the poster who taught me to use the ignore list!

    I see the flat earthers are having another winter sojourn in warmers climes down South Africa way at present. Funny how they never seem to meet in a location like Bangladesh or a threathened pacific island. Two more weeks of spouting nonsense. What's the point in this?

    Kicking cans down the road is best enjoyed with dry feet and good food
