THANKS.
It still boggles my mind that there are so many folks--evidently even on here--who are utterly clueless about how factual the OP is.
Why else would we be burdened with traffic circles in North Dakota?
No matter which way the wind blows, there will be snowdrifts. Going in circles on ice? Really? Now try to plow snow out of that thing! Insanity. No one here will take the bike path or walk very far for 6 months out of the year (well, except for kids who have to be called in).
Insanity imposed by idiots.
Part of the same garbage:
ICLEI to be imposed on the locals...
The organization promotes the following programs for local-level adoption and implementation as described on their website.
the Rio Conventions:
The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change,
The UN Convention on Biological Diversity,
The UN Convention to Combat Desertification
Agenda 21
the Habitat Agenda
the Millennium Development Goals
the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation
ICLEI also provides oversight for the Compact of Mayors, a global coalition of city leaders founded to address climate change at the local level.[12]
