So, whatever happened to Copenhagen?

A little (a very little) global warming humour:

Q. How is the recently concluded Copenhagen climate conference like the Medieval Warm Period?

A. They both may be seen to disappear when it serves a noble purpose.

Well, I warned it was very little. But, then again, global warming is a very earnest, if not positively sullen topic, and to mine even an atom of a joke from all of the frenzied evangelism of self-appointed environmentalist groups, the grim coven that ran the now celebrated labs in East Anglia, or from our modern day catastrophist Savonarola, Al Gore, is too much even for the most deep-mining humourist.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

Does this mean my cottage industry of painting polar bears has come to an end? Doesn't anyone care about the small businessman?

It floated away, on a great glowing cloud of bovine flatulence! Just another little fart on the hot skillet of life!

How about that for ALGORES epitaph?

To crib one of the original comments on this article:

“Why the silence from Gore et al after the Copenfailure. After all, the very fate of humanity is in the balance. Not something they should equivocate on, is it?”

Have there been any Algore sightings since Nopenhagen? I don't recall any.

For those who don’t know Rex Murphy, he is from Newfoundland (and would not be classified as cute by young women) but he produces biting commentary on Canada’s main national newscast delivered in the style of the finest poetry (Neufie that is). Lately he has been commenting a lot on Climategate and global warming which is quite something for the network he works for.

“... you wouldn’t accept that at a Grade 9 science fair”

They cashed in! These criminals in government spend tons of our tax payer monies on a junket that is a hoax

All that was missing from the drum-roll of anticipation for the summit was a walk-on part for The Great Whore of Babylon to add a little lurid colour to its vision of meteorological apocalypse.

And you know what I thought of when I read this statement.
