— Open Blog By way of WUWT, an article on the excesses of Copenhagen.
The who's who of the church of AGW are embarking on their pilgrimage, and you don't actually expect their eminences to fly with the peons do you?
The airport says it is expecting up to 140 extra private jets during the peak period alone, so far over its capacity that the planes will have to fly off to regional airports – or to Sweden – to park, returning to Copenhagen to pick up their VIP passengers.
Or carpool?
"We haven't got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand," [Majken Friss Jorgensen, managing director of Copenhagen's biggest limousine company] says. "We're having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden."
Well, at least they'll drive hybrid or electric limos, right? You've got to have dozens of those yes?
"Five," says Ms Jorgensen. "The government has some alternative fuel cars but the rest will be petrol or diesel. We don't have any hybrids in Denmark, unfortunately, due to the extreme taxes on those cars. It makes no sense at all, but it's very Danish."
More fun stuff at the article, including the free sex for card-carrying delegates, while protesters get climbing walls, bowling alleys, temporary jail cells & a shiny new water cannon!
And Yurts. Very Danish indeed.

As high-ranking members of the Church of Climate Change, they only need to give lip-service to their "ideals" and that absolves them from having to do what they would force the rest of us to do.
Too bad for them that in the end, there will be only chaos.

I'll believe it's a crisis when the people who keep telling me it's a crisis start acting like it's a crisis. Like, you know, substituting videoconferences for tropical-island junkets.

6 What about the children?
Cronus Al Gore ate them. They were delicious.
Because a life of pure service to Gaia is most strenuous...Al builds up quite an appetite. We must not deny the high priest his wants. And anyway, we always hear how over-population is destroying the planet. St. Albert is just trying to do his part...

Extreme taxes on petrol/diesel. Extreme taxes on on hybrids.
Why it's almost as if the statist motive to permit use of energy is merely as a taxation vehicle.

Man, I would love to see photos of all those arriving jets, the Limo's, and the expensive hotels that these people are staying at.
Didn't Rolling Stone magazine used to do expose that shit back in the day?
Or do I just have memories of a better rag?

Wow. People from around the world are leaving messages.
Please help prepare for warming. People in my village wish to live long life with no global warming monsoon. Help us.

In a 1996 email to a large number of scientists in the CRU circle, Tom Wigley, a top climatologist working at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, cautioned: “I support the continued collection of such data, but I am disturbed by how some people in the paleo community try to oversell their product.” Mann and his colleagues made use of some of the CRU data, but some of the CRU scientists weren’t comfortable with the way Mann represented it and also seemed to find Mann more than a bit insufferable.
Why is CRU actually pointing something up from those awful hacked emails?
To slap back at Mann for dissing Jones of course.
Rowr!

When it comes to socialists, I do have little faith.
I understand. But I have supreme faith in the creativity and underhanded deviousness of us knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, inbred, Val-U-Rite swilling, hobo-skinning, squeekhole-dorking, Gaia-raping morons.
Use their own prejudices against them, in service of our own snark. I think that's a quote from Leroy "Bubba" Alinsky.

Two things:
1. When I clicked on this page, my antivirus software (Avast) detected a virus.
2. Washington Post, today: "The Obama administration will formally declare Monday that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions pose a danger to the public's health and welfare, a move that lays the groundwork for an economy-wide carbon cap even if Congress fails to enact climate legislation, sources familiar with the process said."

As well 15,000 delegates and officials, 5,000 journalists and 98 world leaders, the Danish capital will be blessed by the presence of Leonardo DiCaprio, Daryl Hannah, Helena Christensen, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Prince Charles.
At least they're there to lend some real credibility to the event.

A couple years ago, that story would have made my blood boil. Nowadays (thank you anonymous whistleblower!) they don't bother me at all. Whatever nonsense Obama and his brain dead supporters put in writing just further implicates them in the CO2/GW scam. Eventually (probably soon) they will no longer be able to foist off their fraudulent data on the masses. When that happens, and people realize just how huge the lie has been, I want the trail to lead directly to Obama and his cronies.
Bring it on Barry!

Hey, hey, hey. I had Darryl Hannah in my quantum mechanics and thermodynamics classes. Man, was she ever sharp. Leonardo, not so much.

You're mistaken. Hypocrisy is only possible for conservatives, and it must involve sex, or at least gambling.

I sent my "greetings" and then read through some of the ones already posted. I now have no desire for lunch - thanks for helping me lose weight

Or building nuclear power plants. You can tell that carbon isn't the WORST THING EVER because if it were, they would be talking about building nuke plants starting yesterday.

This isn't "I know it's wrong, but I have sinned." hypocrisy, it's "I am going to impose rules on you, but I'm not one of the rabble, I'm better than you. So, I can do this, but you can't." hypocrisy.
It's not that they can't live up to high standards that they set, it's that they simply refuse to.

Well, of course. One has to pay for one's socialism somehow. This is the country that 16 years ago when I was their, my friend was complaining that he was being income taxed at 70%. Of course, most of his family was sitting on the socialist hammock, not that I could blame them.
Who want's to take home 30% after taxes?
