Good morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas celebration. I'm browsing audible.com, listening to book samples.

Disturbing themes from the U.N. Climate Change Summit
Comment: I just find it odd that out of one side of his mouth Chavez demonizes capitalism, but then demands capitalism pay up. Outside on the streets demonstrators were chanting, "Save the planet. Smash the system. Stop global warming. Give us socialism".
Excerpt: Though world leaders [...] failed to meet their objective [...] to reduce global carbon emissions, the summit did produce two very disturbing themes: that capitalism is evil and that reducing the global population would be an effective means for saving the planet.
