The Lost Decade: Bolivian Pablo Solon Decries Climate Deal Postponing Emissions Cuts to 2020

DemocracyNow.org - In 2010, then Ambassador Pablo Solon headed Bolivia's climate negotiating team for the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Cancún, Mexico. However, for this year's climate summit he joined climate justice activists outside the official conference in the streets of Durban demanding the United States, and other historically large greenhouse gas emitters, agree to legally binding emissions cuts. "Developed countries -- like the U.S., Europe, Japan, Russia -- are just trying to avoid their responsibility when it comes to greenhouse emissions cuts. So that is the real outcome out of Durban, and that is why there is so much concern around the world because especially the developing countries -- the poor nations and the poor people around the world, even in the United States -- are going to be those ones that are going to suffer the consequences of this. That is why we call it a climate apartheid," Solon tells Democracy Now! Dec. 12.

Personally, This is just a way to TAX the countries who pollute instead of the individual companies who do the polluting. So, climate "change" is not really in danger, due to falsified scienctific "evidence", is just not truthfully the culprit. YouTube and other academia resources indicate there is no firm basis in fact for the globalists to support this assertion. In fact China is heading toward ...becoming the main polluter in the coming years.

Thank you DemocracyNow for the report and your website.
Large companies and shareholder representatives do not care about the climate.
As long as corporate action did not radically change, nobody will care about the earth.
Human life is limited but the universe hopefully not.
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." (Albert Einstein)
