The guide continues, "Developed countries have an obligation to fund adaptation among poor nations that are victims of climate change. International law, based on the well-established 'polluter-pays' principle, suggests there is a legal duty on major carbon dioxide emitters to protect such countries."

But how much will the rich nations pay?

"Notwithstanding the cost of necessary lifestyle changes and some more expensive technologies," the guide estimates, "the total worldwide cost for most of the technologies and actions investigated would be in the region of 200-350 billion Euros annually for the next two decades."

At today's exchange rate, that amounts to a total bill over the next 20 years of between $6 trillion and roughly $10.5 trillion.

Additionally, the WWF insists industrialized countries should quickly this year release $2 billion into a fund to help developing nations as a good-faith gesture to the international community meeting in Copenhagen.

More drivel for your daily dose of crazy from World Nut Daily!!!!

Don't crowd your fellow pants-pissers. There's plenty for all, fools!!!

A former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher says the real purpose of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen on Dec. 7-18 is to use global warming hype as a pretext to lay the foundation for a one-world government.

"At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed," Lord Christopher Monckton told a Minnesota Free Market Institute audience on Thursday at Bethel University in St. Paul.

"Your president will sign it. Most of the Third World countries will sign it, because they think they're going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regimes from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won't sign it," he told the audience of some 700 attendees.

Ice melt on the world's coldest continent was the lowest in 30 years during the 2008-2009 melt season, according to new research.

The finding was published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters last month by Marco Tedesco, a research scientist at the Joint Center for Earth Systems Technology, cooperatively managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center; and Andrew Monaghan, National Center for Atmospheric Research scientist.

"A 30-year minimum Antarctic snowmelt record occurred during austral summer 20082009 according to spaceborne microwave observations for 1980-2009," their abstract states. "Strong positive phases of both the El-Nio Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Southern Hemisphere Annular Mode (SAM) were recorded during the months leading up to and including the 20082009 melt season."

Drivel but accurate drivel:

Thanks KBM.....another definition for the DR: Deranged Retards dictionary.

Accurate Drivel: When a good little Leftist knows it is true but cannot read or think beyond a 3rd grade level or get up off his knees at the Obama Altar.
