The Climate Change Conference from Hell
National Post [Canada] ^ | Wednesday, December 16, 2009 | Kelly McParland

Posted on 12/16/2009 11:19:28 PM PST by canuck_conservative

Let's see now...

Over in Copenhagen, we have Robert Mugabe, perhaps the most brutal and corrupt despot in Africa, whose life's work has been to destroy the once-prosperous country of Zimbabwe, lecturing the West on the "hypocrisy" of its position on climate change. (Zimbabwe doesn't have to worry about greenhouse gas emissions, because, thanks to Mugane, its economy is in a state of collapse.)

We have the government of China, which won't allow its citizens free access to the Internet, complaining that the climate summit is "not transparent."

We have Hugo Chavez, who took time off from shutting down Venezuela's radio stations to fly to Denmark, complaining about western "dictatorship." (If anyone back in Venezuela disagrees, he'll toss them in jail).

We have "climate change activists" cutting down and desecrating the Canadian flag. More "activists" disrupting the talks and trying to break into the conference centre, beaten off by police in riot gear using tear gas and pepper spray.

.... We have Al Gore, he of the energy-sucking mansion and private jets, who charges $1,200 a handshake to be fawned over by fans, announcing that new hot-off-the-presses data show the Arctic ice cap will be fully melted in seven years, the only problem being that it's not true.

All this so countries like Canada can pony up something in the range of $100 billion for a climate fund, to be dispursed to people like Mugabe, so they can use it to pad their foreign bank accounts "adapt" their nations to climate change.

Remind me again why I want nothing to do with these clowns and their farce of an international climate crisis, and why I have no faith whatsoever in their ability to mount a credible emisions plan...

No, wait ... nevermind. I remember!

Every now and then we witness a well-intentioned event go so over-the-top with excess and hysteria as to become a joke ... this appears to be one of those rare times.

It shouldn’t come as any real surprise, global warming is all about installing fascism, so it’s only reasonable that the face of the global warming advocates be represented by Mugabe, Chavez, Ahmadinejad and the likes.

There is nothing well intentioned about the global warming fraud. It’s been a con since day one.

Yup, I meant that most of the attendees intended to have a peaceful get-together, and instead we saw riots in the street, threats from developing countries, fake news conferences, etc.

What a disorganized mess.

Two thoughts:

1: This could not have gone any better for us deniers. It’s as if it had been organized by Joe Biden.

2: I believe I may be glimpsing an opening here, for the official retiring of the
“-gate” suffix so obnoxiously applied to every scandal/fiasco since 1974. This could be big, if I say so myself. Instead of “-gate”, why couldn’t we utilize
“-hagen” as a replacement?

Thus:

Tigerhagen
Obamacarenhagen
Pelosihagen
Climatehagen
Hopenhagen
Hopenchangenhagen

Whada y’all think?

Good One... I like it. It fits better, whereas every “gate” like in Watergate was a scandal but doesn’t describe the resulting hysteria. This has it all...scandal, hysteria, thugs posing as politicians telling us who and what they really are. Of course we will begin writing them billion dollar checks immediately!

Every now and then thugs, thiefs and despots stand up and tell us exactly who they are. That is the only positive part of them or their intentions!

I saw some stories earlier that the Kenyan Clown is supposed to attend this circus starting tomorrow (for instance, this one from December 4).

My favorite was from the Alex Jones show the other day. Due to the increased business that the prostitutes have seen...

Gropenhagen!
