UN ambassador Susan Rice blasted China and Russia for blocking a UN vote on Climate Change. Both nations know this whole global warming theory is just a scam. Both nations are focused one economic growth and not experimenting on some unproven academic theory.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice this week issued a blistering rebuke of Russia, China and other countries that blocked the Security Council from adopting a statement linking the threat of climate change to international peace and security.

During the Security Council’s first formal debate in four years on the environment Wednesday, Russia was not swayed by Western nations led by Germany, this month’s council president, insisting that the 15-nation panel needs to respond to the effects that climate change has had on Sudan’s Darfur region and in Somalia, where the United Nations say famine had struck two areas.

[….]

We believe that involving the Security Council in a regular review of the issue of climate change will not bring any added value whatsoever and will merely lead to further increased politicization of this issue and increased disagreements between countries,” Reuters quoted him as saying. India and Brazil, both temporary members of the council, also express reservations about getting the body involved.

I salute Russia and China for not going along with this nonsense.
