Strengthening Constitutional Self-Government

No Left Turns

Shameless Self-Promotion

Okay, I Give In . . .

. . . to Peter's taunt below.  I've been getting prepared for testimony this afternoon at 2:30 to a hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations on the subject of the UN climate negotiations.  Here's my opening:

The international diplomacy of climate change is the most implausible and unpromising initiative since the disarmament talks of the 1930s, and for many of the same reasons. . .  the Kyoto Protocol and its progeny are the climate diplomacy equivalent of the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928 that promised to end war (a treaty that is still on the books, by the way), and finally, future historians are going to look back on this whole period as the climate policy equivalent of wage and price controls to fight inflation in the 1970s.  

And it'll get better from there.  (I'll post the whole thing after it's all over.)

"The international diplomacy of climate change is the most implausible and unpromising initiative since the disarmament talks of the 1930s, and for many of the same reasons"

So be it truth (Amen)!
