Dramatic Irony
(Fox News) - The United Nations is conceding that its forum on climate change will likely contribute to global warming. The U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change began Monday in Poland.
The French Press Agency reports the U.N. estimates the 11-day conference will pump more than 13,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the earth's atmosphere. That estimate was based on an expected turnout of 8,000 people — but, so far almost 11,000 people have registered to discuss ways to stop global warming at the forum. Polish authorities say they are hoping to take steps to offset emissions resulting from the conference but no decisions have been made yet.
