Why can't we simply remove *all* their access to fossil fuels? - every last damned bit of it?
Joanna Deplege - t-wittering about her new electric car
Gummer - 'nuff said
Juniper - ditto
Farhana Yamin - career parasite
In all, Oxygen larcenists of the first order and should be in the First Class compartment when the "B Ark" is launched.

Does anyone know what the evidence was in 1997? Does any of it survive?
Mann did not fabricate his Hockey Stick until 1998, so were those at Kyoto promised something "dramatic" the following year?

who fought fossil fuel industry lobbyists to secure the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol..w hich, for the first time, committed 38 developed countries to collectively cut their greenhouse gas emissions, took a gruelling diplomatic struggle to reach agreement in December 1997.
After ten days of intense negotiations in Japan's ancient capital of Kyoto, the Argentinian diplomat overseeing efforts to strike the world's first legally binding climate agreement suspended the committee session and huddled with key players in an attempt to prevent the collapse of the talks.
"We were making public policy on probably the defining issue of our time at three in the morning amongst people who hadn't slept for 48 hours," recalls Joanna Depledge, who gained a close-up view of the Kyoto Protocols's make or break moment as a member of the United Nations Climate Secretariat. At about 5am, the morning after the official end of the conference, there was an agreement. When Chairman Estrada declared the so-called committee of the whole was recommending the adoption of the protocol "by unanimity", the conference floor erupted in cheers.
Featuring : Joanna Depledge formerly part of the the UN's Climate Secretariat,
former British Environment Minster John Gummer (Lord Deben),
campaigner Tony Juniper of Friends of The Earth,
and lawyer Farhana Yamin, who was then policy advisor to the Alliance of Small Island Nations.

.... Strangely marked as "updated 14 Feb 2018".. why update such a page 1 year later?
I wonder if their carbon counter went over 100% so they've tweaked it ?

Secondly all this hyperventilating is pretty pathetic. I guarantee you not one of these red little traitors so much as raised an eye lid as the Clinton led State Department killed Gidaffi (sp??), destabilized Libya and plunged the entire region in to chaos!!
And yet these clowns are falling over themselves to condemn war longer Trump.

Gidaffi? What is wrong with Go Daffy?
Someone has been busy updating Syria's entry at Wikipedia. The number of different combatants, parties, interests etc is substantial, but the history of failures by the International political community don't go back more than a few years, allegedly.
