France + UN =

French President Jacques Chiraq Proposes a United Nations Environmental Office. Heres what he had to say:

"The planet is sick. The symptoms are its increasingly frequent extreme reactions - hurricanes, floods and droughts. Nature is sick. Species are dying out at an alarming rate. We have proof that human activity is causing these disorders. The day is fast approaching when runaway climate change will spin out of control. We have almost reached the historic point of no return."

I agree.

Here is what he wants to do about it:

"This United Nations Environment Organization will act as the world's ecological conscience. It will carry out impartial and scientific assessment of environmental dangers. It will have policy-making terms of reference giving it the legitimacy to implement action jointly decided. It will lend greater weight and greater cohesion to our collective endeavours."

To Quote Dennis Mangan:

"One can only hope that they're as inefficient as the real French police."

I certainly don't hope they're so inefficient. I know they will be. Simply look at the equation:

French Police + United Nations

Don't worry major poluters, you've got the French AND the UN on your back.... And yet for some reason, I don't think they need to worry.
