#1 Good. Hopefully by the next time one of these stupid conferences rolls around, the sham of anthropogenic global warming will be completely discredited.

#2 How many times does it happen that when you have Al Gore making a speech or there is a climate conference you get a blizzard in DC and NY? Gore effect?

I told a guy in NY yesterday to not worry about the snow and temps since as soon as Copenhagen is over, temps in the 50's will return to normal. Looks like I am right!

No worries Nash. Some new and exciting crisis, possibly even more dire, will have been developed by global politicians by then.

#5 The rest of us are praying that these idiots will accomplish nada because we know it will be on the backs of people who can't afford it--namely us. Jobs are in the dumper. Employment numbers are out of sight. Our debt to others is astronomical. We are spending far more than we are taking in. Our future is mortgaged to other countries. Our industries have been sent off-shore or outsourced to China and India. There's no money in the till for the airy fairy B.S. notions and socialistic pipe dreams of these liberal tax and spenders. We don't have a tax base for all this. And yet these politicians keep trying to increase the tax burden on individual Americans. The American people are bleeding and there is real pain out in flyover land. Get real and do something for the American people. Get off our backs. Just don't do anything. Forget about transforming this country into some kind of socialistic nightmare. It is not wanted.

Tipper, it's an Algorethm: a method of attracting liberals, private planes, and freezing conditions.*

#7 So it appears that with COP15 the industrialized nations have allowed humanity to kick the can down the road yet again regarding C02 emissions. Quite telling, really, as the alarmist leadership of these countries are no different from the alarmist individuals they represent.

Even though world leaders claim we're fast approaching the tipping point that will throw us into calamity, they do little or nothing drastic or concrete to attempt to remedy the issue. What, flaccid commitments of a 17% decrease? I thought the carbon load needed to be slashed drastically and immediately! Obama's 17% number is lip service and nothing more. Where are the Western nations who are leading by example, cutting CO2 by 50%, or 80%? Nowhere to be found. Why?

Likewise, the typical individual carbon alarmists I know appear to be totally unwilling to eschew modern living to put their asses where their mouths are. Screeching at me in email about how we're doomed, but doing so within the comfort of the vacation home at the ski resort.

If there is supposedly consensus that we're on a road to ruin, you'd expect there to be a more convincing effort being undertaken by world leadership and the individual dupes that follow them. But there is no convincing effort on anybody's part, is there? It's a sham.
