Compensation, reparations, redistribution…gimme, gimme, gimme…
“Saudis Seek Payments for any Drop in Revenue,” By Jad Mouawad and Andrew C. Revkin – New York Times
Saudi Arabia is trying to enlist other oil-producing countries to support a provocative idea: if wealthy countries reduce their oil consumption to combat global warming, they should pay compensation to oil producers. *** The oil-rich kingdom has pushed this position for years in earlier climate-treaty negotiations. While it has not succeeded, its efforts have sometimes delayed or disrupted discussions. The kingdom is once again gearing up to take a hard line on the issue at international negotiations scheduled for Copenhagen in December.
Ever notice how the push to micro-manage all aspects of life through governmental fiat results in long lines of people, companies, unions, organizations, and nations with their hands out? Get out of the way BIG government progressives and let the market work!
