		<description>Jeez Gitmo. 

I thought the mapping out of my thought process as a reaction to your comments on this thread was fairly explicit. If  you care to pinpoint which part you find hard to follow I&#039;ll endeavour to make it clearer for you. 

But Gitmo. In return, you care to explain how you came to your conclusions based on our exchange in this thread, &#039;cause I can&#039;t see any sign of logic whatsoever?</description>

		<description>There&#039;s no implicit assumption that our government present or past or future doesn&#039;t lie  ..&lt;i&gt;Yes there is. Otherwise you would not have stated that a trading scheme was doomed because of the characteristics you highlight but assign to the Chinese and only the Chinese&lt;/i&gt;....I think they lie all the time. &lt;i&gt;No you don&#039;t. You apparently think they would be honest on issues related to an ETS for one&lt;/i&gt;Fact China is the biggest CO2 emitter in the world. &lt;i&gt;true.&lt;/i&gt;Fact they are far more concerned about their economy and face than reducing CO2 emissions.&lt;i&gt;That&#039;s not a fact. Merely an opinion. Again, why single out China? The same can equally be said of European countries and of the US and Canada plus a whole pile of others&lt;/i&gt; Fact that they are are a government that&#039;s well known to bend the truth and fabricate data. &lt;i&gt;WMD, War on Terror/Drugs and so on and so on&lt;/i&gt;

Don&#039;t accuse me of being a racist again please you fucktard.

What would &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; term it Gitmo? You do see how I get from your initial comment to my response don&#039;t you? You follow the logic, yes?</description>

		<description>Bill are you completely fucking retarded ?

How do you get from

&quot;Ummmmm the Chinese leadership don&#039;t give a fuck about Key or NZ or anyone or anything outside of China unless there&#039;s something of benefit in it for them, this is why any global carbon trading ETS scheme is doomed even if the Chinese sign up to it they&#039;ll lie and obfuscate about their figures.&quot;

To

&quot;It&#039;s about your bald assertion that the Chinese government would lie and obfuscate; it&#039;s about that assertion being based on an implicit assumption that â€˜ours&#039; wouldn&#039;t.&quot;

&quot;It&#039;s about naive racism at best and cynical racism at worst&quot;

There&#039;s no implicit assumption that our government present or past or future doesn&#039;t lie ..... I think they lie all the time. Fact China is the biggest CO2 emitter in the world.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;There is just a sense, that when he is done with being PM .... he is out of here.&lt;/i&gt;

Hmmm, kinda like Miss Clark?

I wonder if John will increase donations to whatever organisation he wants to work for next in order to grease up the appointment committee...</description>

That article screams desperation...is he being serious, or expect to be taken seriously contending that the US had &quot;put serious cuts on the table for the first time (17% below 2005 levels by 2020), and was obviously prepared to up its offer.&quot;

Really? A (whatwasit...3%? ) reduction on 1990 levels is serious when the science demands 50%? And as they were &#039;obviously&#039; prepared to up the offer, we know what the upped offer was and the conditions surrounding it. Right? Oops. Apparently not. How strange.

Then again, perhaps I missed the intentional irony of that link appearing in a thread titled &quot;MSM: you supply the spin, we publish it.&quot;

Mr Mark omnipresent Lynas&#039;s interpretation is a clear country mile distant from anything actually said in any of the reproduced conference speeches, but strangely reflective of the spin being attempted by Messrs Brown and Obama.</description>

		<description>This just in, Anne Tolley has closed the second school of thought.  Typically closing a school would be done only after consultation and for good reason but Tolley decided to forget any sense of fairness, justice and common sense and close it anyway.  Bummer.</description>
