		<description>These fucking assholes really piss me off.  They want to sanitize the UN from all western culture influences.... except for the wealth producing ones of course.  Fuck them.</description>

		<description>&quot;...as the centre then becomes UN territory,...&quot;

Do they have some sort of unilateral power to seize a nation&#039;s sovereign territory once they set foot on it that I&#039;m not aware of? Perhaps this is simply an oversight on my part with respect to my failure to recognize the all encompassing authority given to the UN by themselves in their own disturbing state of elitism ad nauseam.</description>

		<description>thought they were banning the tress cause of their lights...
while all thosde guys jet in to Copenhagen

Anyway,
These kind of gatherings seem to serve to generate a mass-hysteria for a common cause.

Like George Orwellâ€™s Animal Farm book, where mass hysteria meant one pig
overtrumping another in self-sacrificial willingness
- except here itâ€™s always someone else (not the politicians) who has
to make the sacrificeâ€¦
â€œWe must all cut down to save the planetâ€

There is no energy shortage
(given renewable/nuclear development possibilities, with CO2 emission
limits set as deemed necessary)
and consumers â€“ not politicians â€“ PAY for energy and how they wish to use it.
Notice: If there WAS an energy shortage, its price rise would
â€“ limit people using it anyway, and make renewable energy more attractive
â€“ make energy efficient products more attractive to buy.
No need to legislate for it.
http://www.ceolas.net/#cc2x

And since when do light bulbs, TV sets etc give out any CO2 gas?
Not like cars.
And cars are taxed.
They could of course tax the bulbs etc, and lower the tax on energy
efficient alternatives.
Governments make money on the reduced sales, they can pay for CO2
emission processing and renewable energy, and consumers keep choice.
Taxes are unjustified, but better for all than bans.

Few seem to know about the industrial politics behind the supposedly environmentally justified bans
