The Worshipful Company of Carbon Dioxide Exhalers presents: A really bad horror flick:

Note: Abel Danger is 'seizing the opportunity' and picked up this latest Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) video which comes off like a bad disaster movie, or a desperately trashy horror flick – only scarier (and sillier). Feeling the heat, elitists?

Let's meet our cast of signally unappealing characters:

Paul Dickinson (sounds unctuous and patronizing: "I want to be Tony Blair")
Lord Adair Turner (sounds like a Bullingdon Club thug: "I want to be Boris Johnson")
Yvo de Boer (sounds sombre and humourless: "I want to be Darth Vader")

Go to this link to view this horror flick.

2010. CDP is 10 years old. What has 10 years achieved?

Paul Dickinson (Chief Executive, Carbon Disclosure Project): Over the last ten years, the Carbon Disclosure Project has seen a quite unprecedented coming together of investors, of responding corporations, in partnership with government. And the sheer scale of that collaboration is I think the great achievement of the Carbon Disclosure Project and all the people who've worked so hard to make it a success. [as Abel Danger has pointed out, 534 institutional investors, holding $64 trillion in assets under CDP management, can't be wrong – can they?!]

Lord Adair Turner (Chair, UK Committee on "Climate Change" [TM]): Over the last ten years, I think the Carbon Disclosure Project has played a great role in getting businesses and finance to focus on the issue of carbon emissions. And the great insight is to realize that what gets measured gets managed: that once you start actually measuring what your emissions are and disclosing them to the external world, that is a huge stimulus to say, "Okay, now that I've measured them, now that I've disclosed them [i.e. confessed my sins to the green priesthood], what am I going to do about them?" [answer: pay indulgences to keep the fraudulent finance carousel spinning, of course!]

Yvo de Boer (Former Executive Secretary, UN Convention on "Climate Change" [TM]): That very first critical step is for businesses to develop an understanding of what actually their relationship is with carbon and CO2. If you can't measure where you are at the moment, then how can you possibly define a sensible and meaningful way forward?

Paul Dickinson: We've launched the Climate Disclosure Standards Board coordinating the Big Four accountancy firms [Deloitte Touche Tomahtsu (UK); PricewaterhouseCoopers (UK); Ernst & Young (UK); KPMG (Netherlands)] in developing accounting standards for carbon. We've also launched the CDP Water Disclosure Program; and this critical new program will help us understand one of the most important parts of "climate change" (TM): the role of water. In the Supply Chain Initiative, great companies like Wal-Mart and fifty other corporations are working with us to gather data from their suppliers. And that's such a good idea: governments like the UK Government have been working with us to gather data from their suppliers. This whole change is driven by information: information allows investors and corporations to make rational decisions in response to the challenge of "climate change" (TM).

Our hopes for the next ten years?

Yvo de Boer: We fundamentally need to change the direction of global economic growth [downward]: I think that that recognition is now almost universally shared. Acting on "climate change" (TM) is actually an opportunity that can improve their competitive edge.

Lord Adair Turner: It is very important for us to keep working at [the] global international level for the global agreements, the political commitments. We have an area where purely free markets don't work: so governments have to intervene. [Note the dialectical sleight of hand: When these rhetorical reptiles are pushing a hidden agenda through government, they blame "free markets"; when they're out to "privatize" and steal a public asset, they blame "government mismanagement". This two-faced setup is win-win for the cabal, lose-lose for the commoners – until enough folks catch on to the game and end it!] But, we must not take setbacks like Copenhagen as reasons to say we can't do anything. There's an awful lot that we can continue to do with technology and with projects like the CDP; and there are other areas where we are making a lot of progress. We are making progress towards renewable energy: slowly across Europe the amount of renewable electricity is creeping up and up.

Paul Dickinson: If you think about it, this is the first predictable industrial revolution. And what's going to happen [in my psychotic fantasyland where my affirmations manifest global physical reality!] is that corporations, investors, are going to build a low-carbon future. That is going to increase efficiency of business processes; it is going to quite possibly create a better world, in fact.

...and if we fail to achieve?

Paul Dickinson: It's possible to say that within ten years – if we don't address this problem [the problem of the continued existence of the CDP extortion racket?] – we could begin to see changes in weather patterns that are so frightening that people became really very afraid. And people began to lose confidence that the problem perhaps could even be solved. [skewing verb tenses to conform to his fantasy – as loose with grammar as he is with truth!]

Lord Adair Turner: Pretty much all the models suggest that we've got to get beyond them [?] within the next ten years. Paul Dickinson: Or we can find ourselves in a situation we can't control. [him and his buddies in prison?] At stake is an absolutely unprecedented disaster: highly stressed migration which will inevitably result in regional conflict.

Yvo de Boer: What the scientific community has mapped out very clearly for us [thanks to his UN slush fund that steers their "climate change" (TM) "research"] is what the cascade of "climate change" (TM) impacts is likely to be if we fail to come to grips with this issue. The thing that I think worries me most, is if we reach some of the really more severe tipping points: if we really begin to see the disappearance of polar ice and severe sea level rise, that can really threaten some of the major economic powerhouses, if we really begin to see the Himalayan glaciers completely disappear. [video shows shots of Chicago, London, other cities: is he threatening more 9/11-style attacks, perhaps via weaponized weather warfare, if cities don't fork over citizens' hard-earned cash to his marauding gang of global pirates?]

Time to Decide?

Lord Adair Turner: What we do in the next ten years is very important not only to get us on the track of reducing emissions, but also to start creating the technologies and the mass application of technologies which will enable us to drive down emissions even further in subsequent decades. The longer we leave it to get the world on a clear downward path [!?], the more we subsequently have to do.

Paul Dickinson: We will have to act to reduce "greenhouse gas" (TM) emissions; that will provide tremendous opportunities for industry, for investors, and for governments to collaborate in a process. [a process designed to further fatten globalist fatcats]

Yvo de Boer: Basically, what industrialized countries need to be doing [according to my criminal syndicate's script] is reducing their emissions by 80 percent by the middle of the century – a fundamentally different economic future. And that's going to have huge impacts around the globe – not just in the industrialized countries.

Seize the opportunity. [Indeed, CDP-ers: Abel Danger is seizing it!]

The Crying Dutchman unexpectedly steps down as UN climate chief

Yvo de Boer illustrates what it would be like to stay on at the UN

Yvo de Boer, the UN official who oversaw four years of climate talks has suddenly quit his post. He claims disappointing Copenhagen outcome was unrelated to decision, but it doesn’t sound that way:

De Boer said that he was not quitting the key UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) post because the Copenhagen climate talks in December were widely seen as a failure. “We were about an inch away from a formal agreement. It was basically in our grasp, but it didn’t happen. So that was a pity,” he said.

But he was known to have been frustrated by the outcome, and doubtful whether anyone could steer through a major global agreement between wildly diverging rich and poor countries. Today he said that the talks were “on track,” but that he was uncertain that a full treaty could be finalised this year.

De Boer became known as “the crying Dutchman” after he broke down in tears at the end of the Bali UN climate conference in 2006. But he is the world’s most experienced climate change negotiator; and the UN faces a difficult task finding a replacement at this late stage in what have been called the most complex negotiations that have been attempted under the UN system.

Bye, bye. Now, who next?
