The Greenies Get A Russian Boot Up Their Backsides

Samizdata.net presents:The Dead Protocol Sketch

Look, matey, I know a dead protocol when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now:
Russia says it will not ratify in its present form the Kyoto Protocol designed to mitigate global warming.

"The Kyoto protocol places significant limitations on the economic growth of Russia," presidential aide Andrei Illarionov told a conference in Milan.

The landmark environmental pact cannot now enter into legal force, especially since the US has also repudiated it.
It's not pinin'! It's passed on! This protocol is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet it's maker! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch it'd be pushing up the daisies! It's metabolic processes are now 'istory! It's off the twig! It's kicked the bucket, it's shuffled off it's mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PROTOCOL!!
There is no such thing as a "balance of nature." The Terrestrial Biosphere is a dynamic environment within a dynamic universe. The average planetary temperature varied from tropical to almost frozen over long before Man ever appeared on the scene and will continue to do so long after Man has conquered the stars.

No amount of gunplay (or other forms of coercive force) by the greens and their socialist allies will ever change those facts.
