At the recent summit on climate change in Copenhagen, Hugo Chavez gave a brilliant speech on the root causes of global warming. He focused on the problems of global inequality and unsustainable development, both problems that are inherent to the capitalist system. He then proposed that the world take a different path, an alternative to capitalism, and suggested socialism as a possible solution. Here's video of the speech with English translation:
So what was the response from our chronically clueless friends among the Venezuelan opposition? In a nutshell, it was this: "But Venezuela also pollutes the environment, and they export oil, so Chavez has no room to talk!!"
I'm not making this up. It really was that stupid.
With this logic, no one could EVER discuss the cause of global warming and climate change, because EVERYONE contributes to polluting the environment in one way or another, and no country has a perfect record (especially the rich countries).
But not only that, their response is the definition of ad-hominem. Instead of responding to the actual arguments Chavez makes, they attack the PERSON who is making them. And, in fact, the clueless gang over at Caracas Chronicles has shown that they are entirely incapable of even engaging any of Chavez' key arguments.
Once again, our chronically clueless friends have outdone themselves.

Is that all you have been able to come up with during all that time? It leaves me speeeeeeeeechless.
Thanks for proving my point Charly...
The pleasure is all mine.
point well taken, cc. the oppos are useless, nay, entropic. speechless entropy is always better.
btw. over at oilwars some sensible chavistas, other than yourself, have happily taken the bleak and defeatist ow to task.
"Sensible Chavista"???????? What the fuck is that? An oxymoron?
Oilwars has become a cesspool of idiotic ramblings, both anti-Chavista and Chavista. OW is so full of contradictions that no one takes him seriously. The only ones left over there are those who are too stupid to see what a waste of time it is.
"With this logic, no one could EVER discuss the cause of global warming and climate change"
Clueless c*nt, since you are on this subject, recent lab work from H. Svensmark et al indicates that the sun is the main driver of the climate, not anthropogenic CO2 release. Since the sun shines through Chavez's ass then this scoundrel ought to be the main culprit for global warming.
Hahaha, that's funny Charly. So you better go tell Quico that his whole argument about Venezuela polluting is bogus, since pollution doesn't have anything to do with global warming!
I love you oppo guys. You never fail to be dumber than anyone could imagine.
Hey clueless cuca, lots is happening in vnzla right now and your blog is about as dead as Chavez's brain. What is going on?
Charly (aka Anonymous)
Write something on the devaluation. I need the entertainment.
Well, OW´s lack of cogent analysis about Cuba and US imperialism kind of clues me into his blindspots.
It used to be a place to debate myriad issues, but it has become a place where OW merely grandstands and hopes for a Venezuela that is just like the Asian tigers.
He used to actually say something about Oil Wars, imperialism, ect. But he has devolved into giving hand-jobs to rightwing psuedo-intellectuals.
Chris, do you believe in earthquake machines?
Some advice JSB, grow a brain, and don't believe everything you read in the news. Much of it is lies, such as this news that Chavez said something about earthquake machines. He never said anything of the sort.
But thanks anyway for commenting! Your idiocy is what this blog is all about!!! Keep it up!
