United Nations climate chief Christiana Figueres said that democracy
is a poor political system for fighting global warming. Communist China,
she says, is the best model. China may be the world’s top emitter of carbon dioxide and struggling
with major pollution problems of their own, but the country is “doing
it right” when it comes to fighting global warming says Figueres. “They actually want to breathe air that they don’t have to look at,” she said. “They’re not doing this because they want to save the planet. They’re doing it because it’s in their national interest.” Figueres added that the deep partisan divide in the U.S. Congress is
“very detrimental” to passing any sort of legislation to fight global
warming. The Chinese Communist Party, on the other hand, can push key
policies and reforms all on its own. The country’s national legislature
largely enforces the decisions made by the party’s Central Committee and
other executive offices...more
That pesky, inefficient democracy makes the envirocrats wait for the people to vote. How inconvenient.
In fact, the best model for a clean environment is based on free markets and property rights.
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.
