How does the U.N. expect to run the world’s climate if it can’t manage a queue?

Ron Bailey reports from the U.N. climate change conference in Copenhagen:

I spent the day waiting with thousands of others in subfreezing cold to try to get into the proper building to obtain our credentials for the official United Nations Climate Change Conference. I clocked about 5 hours in line while my housemate, in town representing a Colorado NGO, waited 10.5 hours and was also turned away. The conference chaos makes one wonder how anyone expects the U.N. to run the world’s climate if it can’t manage a queue?

It turns out the U.N. accredited three times as many non-governmental organization delegates for the conference as the conference center could hold.
