20,000 people, 192 countries. Welcome to the carbon circus Robin Pagnamenta, Energy Editor

It has been billed as the last-chance saloon; a final opportunity for the world to seal a deal to prevent catastrophic climate change.

With only 44 days to go until the meeting in Copenhagen, the world is waiting to see if its politicians can deliver, and live up to the hype.

Whatever the outcome of the 15th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Copenhagen is braced for a carbon circus.

Hotels in the Danish capital are nearly fully booked, meaning that thousands of those due to arrive in the city from December 7 to 18 will have to stay in neighbouring Sweden — pumping out more carbon when they commute daily across the Öresund straits from Malmö.

Amid the razzmatazz, protesters and corporate sponsorship from BMW, Honda and Mercedes, as many as 20,000 delegates from 192 countries will cram into the Bella centre. Their aim is to forge a deal that will cut global greenhouse gas emissions and prevent a rise in temperatures of more than 2C (3.6F).

Scientists believe that any increase above this level would be the tipping point for irreversible damage — paving the way for rising seas, floods, storms and droughts that would threaten hundreds of millions of people.

The analysis shows that even if this abomination is passed, at most temperature would be reduced by several HUNDREDTHS of a degree C.
Bunch of arrogant imbeciles and world DICKtater wanna-be’s.

The circus is in town, 20,000 a##hats, 192 enslavement camps. This world wide scam is an attempt to suck our American tax payer dollars to be redistributed by our community organizer and chief to fund the NWO. I pray for the day when we prosicute these traitors of America in Washington to the fullest extent of the law.

The marionettes dance to the puppeteer’s tune.

The thing about soulless and amoral people is that they are easy, easy to manipulate if you’re even more soulless and amoral than they are.

The sky is falling. Yes, every day. But suddenly, if we don’t enact universal control of every last thing in the universe we’ll all die.

Most people I imagine have always imagined that liberty would die in a heroic last stand, with good men swinging their muskets like baseball bats in the ruins of the Alamo, or hieing away to the hills like Red Dawn to fight it out with the Cubans. Or something.

Who would have imagined that it would all end with a simple law that says you have to have permission to breathe, and you’ll have to pay a kickback to the stockbrokers for every breath you breathe, and you’ll have to have a permit for every breath you breathe, and it would be enacted democratically into law in accordance to all the usual democratic procedures.

When everyone realizes they’ve voted themselves into chains they’ll elect politicians who will promise to get them a better set of chains, and all political debate will circle around who will best administer the whole scheme. Dems will promise nicer chains and Repubs will promise to balance the budget. No one will even consider throwing out what will be by that time “settled law”.

Link to the draft of the Copenhagen Treaty. 181 pages if you have nothing to do but wade through a bunch of crap. But it’s scary because some of these people really believe this hoax, the others like Gore know it’s false and have sold their souls and their country for money.
