COPENHAGEN: AFRICAN DICTATORS DEMAND “DEMOCRACY” at DickMorris.com: "The Copenhagen conference on climate change, held amid record low freezing temperatures that are blanketing Europe, was shattered by a walkout by the G-77 nations, the bloc of “developing” countries that spans from China to Chad. Their demand? More “democracy and transparency” in the negotiations! They also want massive American and European aid under the guise of helping them adjust to climate change.

Dictators from Bejing to Africa are united in their demand for more “democracy” at the conference and are all deeply disturbed that Copenhagen may not turn out to be payday for which they had all hoped.

Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton has called the climate change issue, a “pretext for a massive redistribution of wealth from the developed nations to the less developed ones.” That’s what the African and Asian dictators are hoping for.

Like anti-poverty storefronts in Harlem that change to drug rehab projects and then morph into stimulus programs, the less developed nations are now hanging out the climate change sign in the hopes of getting aid.

The fact is that almost all the increase in greenhouse gases over the next two decades is going to come from developing countries, principally China and India. As noted in an earlier column, the United States is doing quite well, without a new treaty and without cap and trade, on lowering its emissions to the level demanded by the Kyoto Agreement and the goal set by President Obama. It is about halfway toward each."
