Shocked Lefties Realize the UN is Utterly iNeffectual

So, the lefties took one of their pet problems to the UN. Result?


barely productive wrangling among thousands of negotiators, and the threat of a complete breakdown in talks

It's hard to find anything that 193 countries agree on, and it's downright impossible to negotiate when all those parties must have their say.

the United Nations climate negotiations will never quite work

Indeed, the logo for the Copenhagen conference shows circle of 192 crisscrossing lines. This pattern is meant to symbolize how interconnected we are. Instead, it looks like a ball of tangled string.


As if any of this is new. As if this hasn't been obvious for the past, oh, 40-50 years.
