Clowns at COP15
Quotes from Hugo Chavez:
"The rich countries of the north helped bankers, the big banks. I've forgotten the figure, but it's astronomical.
"What they're saying on the streets is that 'if the climate was a bank they would already have saved it'. I think it's true. if the climate was a capitalist bank, a capitalist bank, one of the biggest ones, they would have saved it.
"I think (U.S. President Barack) Obama isn't here yet. He got the Nobel Peace Prize almost the same day as he sent 30,000 soldiers to kill innocent people in Afghanistan."
"There is an imperial dictatorship in this world, and we continue to denounce it. There is no democracy in the world. The destructive model of capitalism is eradicating life".
"We need to consume less and distribute more. Climate change is certainly the most devastating environmental problem of the last century -- droughts, hurricanes, floods the rising sea level, heatwaves and so on."
People laugh at Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez (there were few applauses) at the U.N. climate talks in Copenhagen (COP15) on Wednesday. Nothing to add, he is just a clown, what can you do but to laugh at its imbecility.
