So this big climate change confab is going on right now in Copenhagen. Lots of British Thermal Units have given their lives to fly in the delegates from all around the globe. Delegates from the "rich" countries want to feel good and guilty about being rich, greedy, energy guzzlers. Delegates from the "developing" countries want to exploit that guilt and extract their gold--collecting billions of dollars from the rich folks to help them adapt to "climate change." So this conference is about "going green" alright: It's about the green going out of OUR pockets and into theirs!
And all this on the heels of Climategate! Recent revelations have shown that the scientists in charge of collecting the data have actually MANIPULATED the data to make the situation look worse than it really is. Talk about climate change!
Yes, the Warmers have descended on Copenhagen--the city is full of them. So before we get to the DUmmies' take on the climate change conference, let's sing this musical tribute to the goings-on there in "Warmerful Copenhagen":
WARMERFUL COPENHAGEN
Tune: "Wonderful Copenhagen"
Warmerful, warmerful Copenhagen
Climate gatekeepers in town
We will say it's hot
Even when it's not
We will pass the gas around
In warmerful, warmerful Copenhagen
Putting the foolish in fuel
Now I'm turning green
Getting sick, I mean
Singing Copenhagen
Warmerful, warmerful
Copenhagen is cool!
I flew on my private jet
To pay off my climate debt
Meeting Algore for cocktails today
And there he stands, waiting for me
With a welcome so warm if I pay
Warmerful, warmerful Copenhagen . . .
Warmerful, warmerful Copenhagen
Climate gatekeepers in town
We will say it's hot
Even when it's not
We will pass the gas around
In warmerful, warmerful Copenhagen
Putting the foolish in fuel
Now I'm turning green
Getting sick, I mean
Singing Copenhagen
Warmerful, warmerful
Copenhagen is cool!
Now let's hear from the DUmmies, specifically, from this THREAD, "Copenhagen climate summit: 1,200 limos, 140 private planes and caviar wedges." What gets the DUmmies' goat in this thread is the sheer HYPOCRISY of the carbon-consuming Climousine Liberals in Copenhagen. But some of the DUmmies are ready to DEFEND the Climos, if it means punishing us EEEvil American gas-guzzlers. The DUmmie comments are in Climate Debt Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, the wag tailoring the doggerel, Charles Henrickson--who, by the way, has been to Copenhagen a number of times--is in the [brackets]:
Copenhagen climate summit: 1,200 limos, 140 private planes and caviar wedges
[It's a regular Climategated community!]
Majken Friss Jorgensen, managing director of Copenhagen's biggest limousine company, says . . . "We thought they were not going to have many cars, due to it being a climate convention. . . . We haven't got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand. . . ."
[Limos for Climos.]
The airport says it is expecting up to 140 extra private jets during the peak period alone, so far over its capacity. . . .
[Private jets for climate debt.]
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.
[In an innovative bit of street theatre staged in Copenhagen's harbor, Leo DiCaprio's "Titanic Boy" will fall off a boat hit by a wandering iceberg, only to be rescued by Daryl Hannah's "Little Mermaid," in a last act of heroism before she dies of warm water temperatures.]
The top hotels – all fully booked at £650 a night – are readying their Climate Convention menus of (no doubt sustainable) scallops, foie gras and sculpted caviar wedges.
[What? No chocolate fountain? . . . Now the DUmmies comment on this story . . .]
I for one am glad to have all these distinguished gentlemen and women come together in one place to finally get the rest of us to cut down on our wasteful and extravagant lifestyles.
[I detect a note of sarcasm.]
I'll defend it. if these greedy motherf***ers add another few centuries to our civilization's lifespan, good for them. I won't begrudge them the swanky dining or high priced whores.
[Is that you, Tiger Woods?]
Of course you don't care to talk about 1200 limos or 140 private jets. That's inconvenient.
[An inconvenient truth.]
not everyone at this conference is serious about combating global warming. . . .
[Not everyone at this conference is serious about combating the FRAUD that is "Anthropogenic Global Warming."]
I admit I'm on the fence now about global warming because of the recent e-mails. . . .
[Climatefence?]
in the past the people I respected were the Ed Begley Jr's and the Darryl Hannah's because they talked the talk and walked the walk.
[Ed and Daryl soon will be filming an HBO special, "Six Feet Under Water."]
This can't be justified and it's wrong and it makes the entire movement look like fools.
[Call it the El No-no Effect.]
you just don't understand....the rules are for the peasants.
[Also on the menu: Peasant under gas.]
Obama should set an example by crossing the Atlantic in a sailboat.
["A three-hour tour, a three-hour tour. . . ." I'm picturing Little Buddy Barry and Skipper Joe marooned on an island with John Forbes Kerry III and Lovey, Movie Star Daryl, and the rest.]
Throw another polar bear on the grill, as long as I get my limo and private jet I will be fine.
Do you want the problem solved or not? Or do you just want to carp?
[No carp. Grilled polar bear!]
gaia will be enraged by our lack of faith. She will probably have her earthly representatives burn us alive, or worse, sit through another lecture on the importance of using only one sheet of toilet paper.
[Wipeout!]
Nobody is saying go 0 carbon but most of them are releasing more carbon than a family of 4 in a year to talk about how to reduce carbon.
[Carbohypocrites.]
the super-rich are the biggest contributors to global warming, pollution, & environmental destruction on the planet.
[Actually, that would be . . . China. China, the world's worst polluter, but a supposed "developing country," thus getting a free pass--and free money--at this sham of a conference.]
a "climate expert" was cornered into admitting there will be increases in the cost of energy if the cap and trade BS is ever implemented....but that's OK most of us are millionaires and are willing to bite the bullet for this feelgood "look i'm doing something about global warming" nonsense. i do not believe for a minute we can affect global warming...errr, i mean climate change by cutting our "carbon footprint".
[LOUSY FREEZER TROLL!!!]
Yawn..... pass the caviar wedge.
[Caviar: It's a wedge issue!]
Darryl will not be arriving in a airport shuttle I bet.
[Mer-maid Global Warming.]

PING!

almost itbp
We need more referendums....instead of Towns shoving "stuff" into a general budget.
Top ten! BLP!
TOP 10
Top ten business posts, as adjusted by the CRU at East Anglia.
Hoaxenhagen.
Lefties pointing out the hypocrisy of lefties? That’s just not right!
I'll defend it. if these greedy motherf***ers add another few centuries to our civilization's lifespan, good for them. I won't begrudge them the swanky dining or high priced whores.
Says the peasant with a mouthful of cake. The irony of a fleet of European limo drivers headed to Copenhagen to make a buck on the conference that's trying to shut down capitalism is particularly amusing, as is the notion that a major European capital doesn't have enough parking spaces for the private jets owned by this gaggle of celebrity boondogglers. Perhaps there is room for consensus in science after all - with this many pompadoured fools in favor of it, it has to be wrong.
We could use some of that GW here in Northern Illinois. With a fresh 7” of cold, wet stuff on the ground, and overnight temps scheduled down to a -25, it would help.
“Hoax and Chains” <- the best descriptor of global-warming/climate-change/cap-and-trade I have yet to see.
Volunteers?
Maybe get DiCaprio and Begley in there, too.
Yes! Ain't it GREAT??? :)
Today only, I raise a glass of unsweetened herbal tea in their honor (as if I'd really drink that crap.)
Of course, they'll still send Al Gore his annual $20 contribution, so he can buy another house boat with a pair of jet skis on the back. Afterall, Al's drunk son needs a hobby that isn't raiding his mother's medicine cabinet.
No wonder the prostitutes were counting on a blockbuster season! Are they going to have to import prostitutes as well as limos?
