Saudi Says No Need to Cut Oil Use to Fight Warming
http://www.planetark.org/dailynewsstory.cfm/newsid/45986/story.htm

NUSA DUA, Indonesia - Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia said on Wednesday the world does not need to shift away from fossil fuels to combat global warming, suggesting pilot technology and greater efficiency as better options.


Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi told UN-led climate talks that the world should focus on research to cut emissions while continuing to use its "huge reserves" of crude, gas and coal.

Riyadh is traditionally wary of anything that might undermine demand for the vast reserves of oil that have transformed it from a small desert kingdom to a powerful international player, and is currently earning near-record prices for its crude.

1. And Colonel Saunders says our chickens are safe with him!
Honestly, I don't know which is worse: that the assholes come up with crap like this, or that they think we're stupid enough to believe it.
