UN Backs Fossil Fuel Divestment Campaign
mdsolar sends this report from The Guardian:
The UN organization in charge of global climate change negotiations is backing the fast-growing campaign persuading investors to sell off their fossil fuel assets. It said it was lending its "moral authority" to the divestment campaign because it shared the ambition to get a strong deal to tackle global warming at a crunch UN summit in Paris in December.
The move is likely to be controversial as the economies of many nations at the negotiating table heavily rely on coal, oil and gas. In 2013, coal-reliant Poland hosted the UNFCCC summit and was castigated for arranging a global coal industry summit alongside. Now, the World Coal Association has criticized the UNFCCC's decision to back divestment, saying it threatened investment in cleaner coal technologies.

one, the US.
The Fucktarded USians want to keep using all three: Coal, natural gas, and oil. They don't want to give up their dirty methods because, as a whole, the US firmly stands against not only Global Climate Change but they are against all science as well because an overwhelming majority of USians are fucktarded religionists. Since the Fucktarded USians are against change the nations should turn from the USian dollar to the Euro for further trading then *poof* no more US and then the UN can concentrate on combating AGW.
Sincerely,
