Hat off to McParland, and to Kate for posting the link.

Grew up in Zimbabwe, parents lost all to that racist thug Mugabe, so when I heard he was at the conference I couldn't believe it.

The whole damn thing is a complete and utter farce.

Of course not one newspaper will put on the front page that Mugabe is attending. We have to find that fact out in the opinion columns.

Everything Kate has said about the MSM these past few weeks has been 100% true!

... until further notice ...

We're supposed to get an upgrade eventually.

If you can tell a tree by its fruit...

Since this is the largest most deceptive event that we have yet to witness, it is only just that we see such hatred, such hypocrisy, such frustration, such uneasiness. If there was actually any truth to this whole convention and the reason why we were there, you would think that there would be some feeling of good being done, but there isn't.

I would like someone to show me an actual positive message, article, whatever from this conference that hasn't some biased or negative connotation to it.

Neither side can, why? because this tree called Copenhagen grew from a seed of animosity, greed, entitlement, you name it.

From the climate activists' press release:

"There is an enormous open cast mine, covering the total size of England in the Alberta Tar Sands region of Canada..."

Erm, the total area of England is 130,373 square miles. The total area of land disturbed by oil sands mining is 232.4 square miles - roughly the size of Edmonton.

In other words, the oil sands operations amount to 0.00178 percent of England. Or, variously, the oil sands operation is "an enormous open cast mine covering the total size of England..."

Robert Mugabe

The Climate change calendar boy.
Must do the AGW folks proud to have his brand!
Like Obama with Chavez he wants a people free World.
JMO

Mugabe's nothing. They interviewed a nice naif on CBC today, he said that being Canadian is a real embarrassment over there. Hmmmm.

Its all coming apart for them. The Lie cannot be hidden any more. I love the smell of climate long pork smoking in the mornin.

The familiar phrase was spoken by Marcellus in Shakespeare’s Hamlet — first performed around 1600, at the start of the Little Ice Age. “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark” is the exact quote. It recognizes that fish rots from the head down, and it means that all is not well at the top of the political hierarchy. Shakespeare proved to be Nostradamus. Four centuries later — at the start of what could be a new Little Ice Age — the rotting fish is Copenhagen.

Somewhere in the O.T., doesn't it say that the Lord will suddenly visit the earth and lock all the kings of the earth in a pit-like prison?

You'd have to think this was a golden opportunity, assuming the blizzards don't cancel the summit.

Chavez. Mugabe. Any other dictators & mass murderers the Canadian Leftists have on the agenda to break bread with over in Copenhagen?

Checking the weather in Copenhagen it looks like it'll be snowing Thursday & Friday. Perhaps Lizzie May and her comrades can conduct a seance over an open bonfire to try to reach out to Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Pol Pot!

With the thug Mugabe in attendance, the Copenhagen conference is dead, it should be declared a sham.

Knacker: " ... you would think that there would be some feeling of good being done, but there isn't."

Because these shysters in Copenhagen are desperate for a fix. Time is running out for the scam of the century to be consummated by a vote (or two) to crown a one-world-government monarch (a committee, of course).

Chavez and Mugabe's being given a bully pulpit tells us all we need to know.

WE. NEED. TO. GET. OUT. NOW.

And as for "being a Canadian is a real embarrassment": Good on Canada. As R.D. Laing once put it, just because a chevron of geese is flying in one direction and there's one goose going it alone against the flow, doesn't mean that the lone ranger is the crazy one.

BTW Kate, found your column in the National Post today,"The Right to Breed" very enlightening.

US President Barack Obama has been due to attend the final day of the meeting on Friday, when world leaders will try to lay out a strategy to deal with climate change after the end of 2012, when obligations run out under the landmark Kyoto Protocol.

But asked about rumours that President Obama might not attend, Mrs Clinton said: "The President is planning to come tomorrow. Obviously we hope there will be something to come for."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8418008.stm

Liz J, do you have a link for Kate's article?

batb:

I put one in the Readers' Tips thread.

Mugabe applauded for spewing his trademark vileness at a gathering of marxist groupies and assorted global village idiots seems about right. He was an early multicultural pioneer when he inflicted his North Korean trained torturers on a mass scale intimidation campaign against tens of thousands of some of his more recalcitrant subjects. No doubt the MSM will fully cover his criminality and the usual shopping depredations of his lovely and talented wife "Dis" Grace.

This is absurd!

TJ @ 1:19 a.m.: This morning, the National Post has a big picture--with damning quotes--of both Mugabe and Chavez.

I small deads. In China Daily, the government pretty much said they would join 3rd world developing nations at the conference and considered themselves a developing nation. The character painting was on the wall.

Here is what I have said at samandimp.wordpress.com:

Over in Copenhagen we have the spectacle of delegates within the venues arguing and of people in the streets yelling at them to get busy and DO something. Not to worry, President Obama is on his way in his silver sleigh filled with beer and pretzels. So far no derogatory word from his quarter about the police work in the Danish capitol. As he did in Norway, he will avoid the royals so that he doesn't get caught in a bow.

nelson mandela always referred(with a wry chuckle) to mugabe as 'comrade bob'.....

nuff said.

If Prentice and our own wedgie boy Rob Renner are not smart enough to see the transparency of this marxist money and power theft by now, and tell Harper to turn around, then IF there is another election, I don't like their chances. Finally a newspaper writer "Mcparland" grows a set and tells the truth, funny how 5 billion dollars in debt [Canwest] can make even a stupid newsie start to see the light. Where is global warming by the way?

So a protester was crazy glued to a window at the Canadian consulate. Well, just, leave him/her there. Morons.

Posted by: EBD at December 17, 2009 1:51 AM"

ebd: perhaps the activists are confusing the SIZE of the oil deposit with whats being pulled out right now. LOL !!!

gee, can y'all tell I'm well in the skeptic camp now? nothing like a reformed sinner eh?

my mission statement: "to do my part to restore this peaceful prosperous land to the status it deserves and all my Canadian ancestors worked for"

"Erm, the total area of England is 130,373 square miles. The total area of land disturbed by oil sands mining is 232.4 square miles - roughly the size of Edmonton."

Facts, Smacks...Doesn't matter an iota to the 'Tards

Anyone else miss the inherent hypocrisy of the cheering for Chavez at Copenhagen?

Canada gets pilloried for its OIL.

Yet Venezuela relies entirely on its OIL revenues to fund Chavez's Bolivarian revolution.

May they all be eaten by polar bears.

I find it ironic that the UN cannot even organize a businesslike conference, yet they propose to administer a massive income transfer scheme from sucessful countries, to 3rd world basket cases.
Why are there so many NGO and shit disturbers at Copenhagen? What exactly do (a random selection),Desmond Tutu, Prince Charles, Al Gore,David Miller, Robert Mugabe have to offer at the conference?

Martin,

Why are there so many there....because there is lead time, and its in a country that people can get to easily.

Try holding it the middle of the Australian outback or way up at a hunting lodge in Northern Manitoba next time. Or Siberia!

You wont get the camp followers. But they are there for effect.

The chaos is intentional.

Here's a prime example of how losers behave when they don't get their way. An honest journalist gets hit in the head while being interviewed by Neil Cavuto.

http://video.foxnews.com/12579645/challenging-the-data

BEWARE: Lefties run amok.

Listening to a discussion of Copenhagen by CKNW's Philip Till and The Province's Michael Smythe, I was struck by how ANTI-Global Warming Zealotry both were. I do confess that I do not know the position of either man before the conference began, but their conversation got me wondering: Do you think we're going to see hordes of MSM types exiting stage right from the bandwagon?

This I would find amusing because remember, up until recently, we were endlessly told that Canada needed to lead by example, no matter what anyone else did. It was shoved down our throats by Lizzie May et al that Canada needed to do whatever it took, even if the U.S. & China didn't reduce their economies whatsoever.

I suppose it would be too much to expect resignations galore in early 2010 from assorted political & MSM figures?!?

It's bad enough with brutish miscreants such as Mugabe and Chavez there, but why are cretins like David Miller and Elizabeth May at the conference, running their ample mouths at every opportunity?

The last time I checked, Miller was not elected by the Canadian people and hamster-brain May and her sad excuse for a party can't even win a single seat in the House of Commons. These idiots are giving the false impression that they represent Canada and the media fall over each other to interview them.

I would love to know who paid for these buffoons to attend and make fools of themselves.

If the UN had any credibility, Mugabe would have been rotting in prison for the last 15 years,instead of lecturing civilized Countries at a UN sponsored conference.

UN whores will bed down with anyone to further their corrupt agenda.

It was only a matter of time before the three ring circus that is the Copenhagen climate conference invited the chief lunatics of the world to speak.
As for the flag burning, if eco-terrorists wish, they can walk everywhere in the middle of January without using that "dirty oil".

Mother Earth caused a huge oil spill, the size of Britain.

Mankind is trying to clean it up.

The operation is now only the size of Edmonton.

Got a ways to go.

What a great article. Lumping all those people who are embarrassed to be Canadian in the story is perfect in my mind. I think they should move to Venezuela or Zimbabwe where the leaders think like they do. I'm sure they would find a wonderful existence there.

The NP is loaded today with some good stuff on the mess in Copenhagen, and the media are catching on!!

Jo Anne at bluelikeyou has some great links.

Calgary's mayor is there as well.
He doesn't speak 4 me

The, er, "United" Nations...

No good will come from Canada's participation at this "event" which, is the metaphysical equivalent of a circular gathering governed by rules that can be best described by the statement: "last one to hit the cracker eats it!"

Exactly Biff, how do all of these protesters in Copenhagen afford to take 2 weeks off work, fork out about 7K for travel and accommodation, meals, winter clothing etc.? Easy, get some charitable foundation NGO like the WWF, Greenpeace, Sierra Club, etc. to sponsor them and then claim their expenses as a donation. The government then allows the NGO to issue a tax receipt payable on the public purse and Bingo!, problem rectified. The fact is that we taxpayers by one sleight of hand or other actually finance all of this nonsense.

It's hard to get ticked about this - gobsmackingly amazed perhaps. If i was an environmentalist i'd be chugging liquid draino over having such allies as Mugabs & Hogo. With friends like that who needs enemas?

Bob Mugabe? perhaps the most brutal and corrupt?
hmmm, let's check the standings at "Dictator of the Month"

15. M. Gaddafi Libya
23. H. Selassie Ethiopia
30. C. Taylor Liberia
32. A. Sadat Egypt
33. O. al-Bashir Sudan
34. M. Zenawi Ethiopia
41. I. Amin Uganda
43. M. Seko Zaire
44. F. Nguema Equatorial Guinea *
48. T Mbasogo Equatorial Guinea
51 H. Habré Chad
53. M Mariam Ethiopia
56. R. Magabé Zimbabwe / Zim"Bob"we ? / Mr. "August 2004"

So there you have it, and Bob "beat" another 7 candidates from Africa, all worthy contenders to be sure, but hey, the numbers don't lie, although Bob may have improved his standing in these past 5 years, the destruction of those 200,000? houses in order to "beautify" Zimbabwe may have edged him up somewhat...
http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2005/06/10/zimbabwe-bulldozers050610.html?ref=rss

* "At the time of his death, only about a third of the country’s population remained in the country and conditions were absolutely pathetic. Nguema has rightfully been compared to Pol Pot for his anti-intellectual pogroms, which also led to the absolute ruin of the Cambodian society and economy".

... So you see then, this clown was only rated at #44, the competition to be #1 in Africa, really is fierce.

Well Kate, they may be just crazy enough to convince our PM to sell Canada out to world government. There will be NO agreement at Copenhagen - ON THE NUMBERS of the rip off. But they WILL agree to setting up an embryonic global government (They call it setting up the "framework" for international legislating)

If harper submits us to taxing and regulating by an unelected foreign bureaucracy, he should be held accountable.

The big headlines will all be about how the COP15 "FAILED" to get agreement and the earth is in peril until we do - but the real story is the leaders of the former free democratic nations sold out to global government "framework".

A classic diversion that sub rosa furthers the anti-nation-state, anti-democreatic globalism agenda - and you call them crazy?

The, er, "United" Nations...

The, er, "Benighted" Nations?

Or maybe the "de-lighted" nations.

Only Obama can save Copenhagen:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cif-green/2009/dec/16/copenhagen-deal-barack-obama-speech

George Moonbat

Tim:
That article in the Guardian is rather off-the-wall. Examining the comments indicates the Guardian's readership is not so out of touch as the author. I liked this one by commenter OneWorldGovernment:

I have a better speech for President Obama: "I have no mandate from the American people to commit to anything at this time and the executive branch of the United States cannot override Congress and just implement a treaty when it wants. Europe, you lead the way this time and do what you want instead of worrying about us as we have bigger problems to deal with at home and abroad. If we were wrong, we won't be around to regret it."

We exhort the climate changers to check their models and yet we accept EBD's math re Oil Sands/England ratio of ".00178 percent" as factual.

232/130,000 is .00178 or .178 percent.

Good story though.

Mea Culpa, Phil. Even with the corrected figure of 0.178 - thanks - the gist of my point fully stands.

"There is an enormous open cast mine, covering the total size of England in the Alberta Tar Sands region of Canada..."

0.178 percent of England is a far cry from "the total size of England."

can't see anything on the CBC or Globe and Mailwebsites about the Russian temperatures that were ignored and fudged. Got an email back from CBC about them ignoring climategate. They pointed out they ran the story on 26th Nov, my email to them was on the 23rd Nov. I first read the story on SDA on 19th Nov. Interestingly they also said that the Globe carried nothing until 1st Dec.

It seems now that Copenhagen (COP15) is now a paper tiger....
The question is what will the fallout be?

Will the failure of COP15 incite the OBOZO loons to do something really stupid....like enforce that silly EPA CO2 ruling....
Will the US descend into an emotional event (civil war) or a velvet revolution? The difference is between the Czechoslovakian regime change versus the Romanian revolution....

Senator Jim Inhofe tells Climate Change Summit- Cap and Trade Won't Pass US Congress

According to Rasmussen, after the Climategate scandal broke, 59 percent of Americans say that some scientists have falsified research data to support their own theories and beliefs about global warming. Just 26 percent take the opposite view. Or take the Pew Research Center poll this past January. When asked to prioritize a list of 20 public policy issues, respondents put climate change dead last. And the Senate has responded. At most there might be 25 votes in the Senate for a cap-and-trade bill, and they need 60.

My stated reason for attending Copenhagen was to make certain the 191 countries attending COP-15 would not be deceived into thinking the US would pass cap-and-trade legislation. That won't happen. And for the sake of the American people, and the economic well-being of America, that's a good thing.

http://www.breitbart.tv/flag-waving-communists-socialists-march-in-copenhagen-to-stop-global-warming/

You are right Kate, "Team America" wasn't supposed to be a documentry.

The following is just an opinion, yet subject to change if proven wrong - I really hop I am wrong.

Well, the first thing that should be dropped is foreign aide. Canada will be giving billions of our tax dollars to the UN so they can distribute it among the "have not" countries. Even to dictators and probably not one penny will go towards the citizens of their countries. That will be about 26 Billion dollars a year from our economy, which will not save the planet.

The second thing that will happen is that the Cons will have a very difficult time explaining to Canadians why they sold Canada to the UN. Our Environmental Minister has already said we will do whatever the USA does - that includes Cap & Trade (or CAT tax). The US President is a strong believer in Global Warming so you can imagine what will happen there. (He and the EPA already have declared carbon as a dangerous gas.) Clinton already said that 100 billion dollars a year would be put into a climate fund to give to the “poor” countries. The Cons already promised to pay part of the ten billion dollars in the Commonwealth deal. (They appear to be no different than the LIEberals.)

The Alberta Premier is extremely low in the polls at the present, if he were smart he should say that Alberta needs some of the transfer money for Albertans and therefore will only send half of what they usually give. (Then watch the "other clowns" go at it. All of a sudden Ontario and Quebec will say that Alberta's tar sands must be exempt from any carbon output tax. (I heard, no proof, that Toronto produces more of a “carbon” footprint than the Tar Sands, plus their electrical generation by coal.)

As for the rest of Canada, regions will foster to the point where we were when P. E. Trudeau was in power. The East vs West will grow. (This is the LIEberal favourite ploy in elections.) The worst hit will be Quebec because they will not get their usual amount of Western “dirty oil” dollars to fund their expensive social programs. Alberta gives about 21 billion dollars. I think the East should be worried about separation/association with Canada in which case they would get nothing.

All this because the Cons, knowing it is wrong, will sign whatever the USA does - they should be in consultation with Australia. Canada is a fantastic country, I just hope the Cons stand up and say along with Australia, that they would denounce Global Warming as the fraud that it is and check the real science before deciding what to do. Yet, because of looking bad to a small group of environmentalists and Dr Fruitfly, they would sell out Canada for a few votes. I guess all the Cons were instructed to tell us deniers in global warming not to worry. So far they give no indication that they will stand up for what is right.

Brent Weston at December 17, 2009 4:15 PM

I posted this before reading your post. I hope you are right, this will at least save part of our expenses.

***Miller was not elected by the Canadian people and hamster-brain May and her sad excuse for a party ****

with these fools out in public at Hopenchangen,

I AM NOW EMBARASSED FOR CANADA

The world has woken up to the fact that Canada is now Public Climate Enemy Number One

(from the link above)

That is a big stupid lie, for two reason

1 - There is no man made climate change; Ask Phil Jones

2- even if there were a man made climate change, China is the number one polluter/emitter on the planet, they now surpass the USA which.

The world is not run by crazy people.....

The UN is run by criminals.....but does not run the world.....althought the UN crooks aspire to that.....
The criminals in the UN are supported by crazy people.

As for Philip Mugabe folks of the "rich" nations meet one of your new "MASTERS" He wants his danegeld he wants a lot of it and he wants it NOW! Do not anger him by keepin' him waitin' He and his U.N. tribe think we have had it to easy for too long, time to PAY! The totally imaginary fantasy of global warmin' is our fault for our bogus hardworkin' lifestyle, if we had sat in the shade of our huts and drank beer instead of havin' the industrial revolution none of this imaginary problem would have been "created" it's our fault.

Some leftist lunatics in the U.K. were attempting to have former Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni arrested on alleged "war criminal" charges if she enters that country.

Meanwhile, a genuine war criminal, Mugabe, is mouthing off at the Copenhagen climate conference. Shouldn't he be arrested?

How about a photoshop of Mugabe's face in the infamous Lee Harvey Oswald murder photograph? Maybe the Liberals could help out?

Finally, a definition of PC that can be lived with

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, Lieberal
illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream
media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible
to pick up a turd by the clean end."
