ZP outdid himself at the XVI Ibero-American Summit. He said what, at first glance, only an idiot would express. In truth, it revealed his complete lack of ethical principles. Rodríguez claimed that "climate change has caused more deaths than international terrorism."

It is official. Kyoto is dead. It wants to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere through mandates and regulations. This week in Montreal, the 11 conference on Climate Change came to an end and the only thing the 10,000 delegates from 189 countries were able to agree on is the need to keep negotiating.

The context for the Bonn meeting is as follows: Kyoto’s utter failure. Not for its dreadful economic consequences and invisible environmental benefits, about which Europe’s politicians are unconcerned and knew beforehand. The reason for the failure is that only 33 countries have committed to reducing emissions in agreement with the conditions laid out in the Kyoto Protocol and of these fewer still seem capable of complying with the conditions they signed.
