The Crying Dutchman: Yvo de Boer Bursts Into Tears At Climate Change Conference
This global warming hysteria is really over the top at this point. According to the Daily Mail, after 12 days of trying to reach a worldwide agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it was suddenly all too much for Yvo de Boer.
As the 200-nation Bali conference wrangled over a minor procedural matter, the Dutch diplomat in charge of the talks burst into tears and had to be led away by colleagues. All this global warming was just too much for the Dutchman to bare.
Moments earlier, Mr de Boer had been warning delegates that failure to reach an agreement on global warming could “plunge the world into conflict”.
Officials from China, which feels Western countries should do more to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, accused UN negotiators of ignoring conference protocol.
Mr de Boer, distinctively dressed in a floral shirt, stepped up to the microphone to defend his staff – only to find that the words would no longer come.
“Three colleagues – one of them a woman – formed a protective group around him and escorted him out of the hall. It was all very dramatic.”
More people would probably attend global warming conferences if they were promised a comedy show like that.
All this dramatic talk about global warming as if the world is gonna come to a fiery end tomorrow if we don’t listen to Al Gore and the climate nuts, is not helping the cause.
That kind of over the top rhetoric only serves to turn people off and even illicit a chuckle or two as in my case.
