Y2Kyoto: I Say We Start By Canceling The Olympics

Moonbats 97 Comments

See how easy that was?

We should cancel all Olympic games until the planet’s C02 level has returned to normal
Yes, it’s the least we can do.
No, I’m just a hypocrite in tight pants.

The signatories. Of all the names I see listed, Hayley Wickenheiser’s is the most disappointing. Good grief, Hayley – you’re from Shaunavon. Talk about the k.d. lang of oil exploration.

  1. Hockey without hitting is more than abysmal.
    snow volleyball, with skin tight tops , I can relate.
    o the weather outside is frightful..
    but those perks are so delightful

  3. These guys should stick to the slopes, the ice rinks, and their beer.
    Who the heck cares what they think? They’re hardly experts in climatology — and they’ll be some of the worst offenders with the biggest carbon footprints when they jet to Whistler, stay in first-class accommodations, and get multi-million-dollar endorsements.
    And, while they’re ratcheting up the greenhouse gas emissions, so will the jet-setters who play Olympic camp followers.
    This scam is so transparent, it’s astonishing that these empty mouthpieces can’t see through it themselves. Well, I guess that’s the problem with mouthpieces: They’re myopic, self-interested, entitled toadies.

  5. Now wait just a minute here, Toronto finally got the 2020 Pan Am Games and our council is going all out to meet that date with construction due to start in 3 or 4 years once all the new people are hired in the public unions and the necessary consultants are on board.
    You can’t cheat us of this opportunity to finally showcase our city with the 2020 games! CO2 be damned. Its just not fair.
    Oh, its the 2015 games…never mind then..guess we could safely forget it.

  7. These rent seekers are no different from the other whining rent seekers you hear from. They want you to increase funding their favoured sport, social program, marxist advocacy group etc, but cut back on the useful activities, like the oil sands, that provide the tax dollars to do it. Not only are they hypocrites, they are dumb-as-a-sack-of-hammers hypocrites. They have no fricking idea how the wealth, of which they are demanding redistribution in their favour, is really generated. Most so-called journalists are like that too.
    Can we cancel all whining leftist activist groups until the planet’s CO2 level has returned to “normal”?

  10. “Are you excited about the arrival of the Olympic Torch Run in Brockville on Monday? ”
    Personally, I’m thrilled to bits! I’m in B.C….;)

  11. If this Thomas Grandi fellow really feels this way, he should bow out. I worked at Vanoc as a contractor and I saw them coming in the morning and I saw them dragging their butts out at night; most who worked there gave their all. That is to say nothing of the thousands of volunteers. You got a problem with the Winter Olympics, don’t go and don’t watch it on TV and don’t partake in the national pride of putting on a great Olympics and winning gold medals!

  12. “You got a problem with the Winter Olympics, don’t go and don’t watch it on TV and don’t partake in the national pride of putting on a great Olympics and winning gold medals!”
    How about you don’t spend my hard earned money so a bunch of rich kids can ski and party all year all over the world without putting in a dime of their own.

  14. Adler was speaking to the original founder of Greenpeace today who stated that, historically, “normal CO2 levels” would mean the current CO2 level would acutally have to rise.

  15. normal historically is 2000 ppm in the Holocene and Pleistocene
    it has been up to 100 times higher in the Cretaceous , that is why our Holocene trees have more leaves. they need them to eat.

  16. Hey Kaley – I just picked the female hockey team that I am going to cheer for in the upcoming tourney.
    Thanks for the assistance in my selection. You will look fine in silver, or bronze.

  17. Exertion during competition produces CO2. The gold medal winners should be those that finish the event with the minimum CO2 produced.

  19. Hello Kate: Just listened to your discussion with Adler. Sounded great and to the point. Athletes should stick to what they do best – sports.

  22. There is a poll at oceansidestar.com that is needing to go terribly wrong.
    =========================
    That’s one of the best things about Kate’s blog and her fans. She can rally a huge number of folks to go and throw any left side poll “horribly wrong”. Love it.

  24. I wonder if these clowns (remember Bread not Circuses) were paid by the “fruit fly foundation” to lend their names to the cause. It wouldn’t surprise me.

  25. If you go here: http://beta.davidsuzuki.org/do/tell-the-pm-you-want-action-on-climate-change/, you’ll find a convenient web form that goes straight to the PM, Layton, Ignatieff, and Duceppe, and it’s ready to be edited as you wish. here’s what I sent:
    “Today I’m joining millions of people around the world who have finally come to understand the full extent of the vile attempt to establish totalitarian world government, led by the power-mad failed Presidential candidate Al Gore, that is the Anthropogenic Global Warming hoax.
    I’m calling on you as Canada’s Prime Minister and on all world leaders to call for a full review of the falsified, politicized pseudoscience used by NASA GISS, the CRU, and in consequence the IPCC as revealed in the shocking scandal now known worldwide as “Climategate” at the crucial UN climate change summit in Copenhagen this December. I strenuously urge you to become familiar with the daily stream of revelations regarding the true nature and extent of this scandal by reading the non-biased, non-industry statistical information at http://wattsupwiththat.com/, http://climateaudit.org/, and http://www.surfacestations.org/.
    Action on climate change is designed to be destined to be the greatest waste of human talent and taxpayer’s earnings in world history. Global action on climate change will eliminate countless jobs and business opportunities and see many more thousands of Canadians forced onto the unemployment rolls, as has already happened.
    Climate change is a massive hoax perpetrated by those best poised to benefit from it. But, the greatest threat is our own inaction.
    For the sake of the health of our economy, environment and future, I’m urging you to ensure that Canada show leadership, foresight, and most importantly of all, genuine understanding of the purpose and nature of this hoax, and establish a strong position of rejection of the purposes of the UN climate change summit.”
    Have fun! I did. 🙂

  26. Dear ex-Skier and other noteworthy winter activities enthusiasts,
    Ha ha ha ha. Athletes! Poor, poor athletes. OK, I mean poor, poor ex-athletes. I guess after the glory has faded, it’s still important to feel important. Why not jump onto the global warming bandwagon, dress up as an ex-skier, visit the absent Prime Minister’s office (who’s away somewhere being important), with….. a piece of PAPER. Yeah! Awesome! Back in the limelight. Ahhh…feels good to “give back”; to be able teach the know-nothing rubes a thing or two. (Hopefully, also, you can be on TV!!)
    Your adoring fan, etc. etc.

  27. Dave’s going to piss himself wondering why the spike in web site traffic on a friday afternoon.
    Speaking of friday afternoon… who’s on watch for the dreaded friday afternoon big announcement from our fearless leaders? the countdown begins…

  28. Ok Beckie Scott’s signature is disappointing. 🙁 I still think she’s a class act, though.
    However, I rather the female cross country ski team stick to skiing and posing nude for calendars
    . :0

  29. I remember when the Canadian alpine ski team was referred to as The Crazy Canucks. In keeping with Kate’s comments on Adler I would like to suggest a new nick, The Brain Brothers as in brain dead, brain damaged….
    Syncro

  31. Thanks for the list of names. I’ll be writing them down and then looking to see how they do.
    I’ll be probably seeing all these personal bests along with placings you’ll need tracking dogs to find. I guess they don’t realize that when my tax money will be going to fight fictional AGW, there’ll be nothing left to support their jet-setting lifestyle.
    Totally oblivious….

  32. I sent an e-mail to Merlin Motors regarding the hypocrisy of Hayley Wickenheiser signing this letter and having her as a spokesperson. Hope other Saskatoon and area residents will do the same.
    (Kate, did your new/used truck originate at Merlin?)

  33. rmgk, I just sent an email to Merlin. I was polite and mentioned that I had been considering Ford for my next vehicle purchase because of Ford’s stance during the government automobile industry bailout.

  34. What a bunch of nobodies. I read the list and the only two names I recognized were (1) Becky Scott but I don’t know why or what she has achieved but I have seen her name before. (2) Wickenheiser who plays female hockey which is a joke. I remember her and the dismal fool she made of herself when she tried to break into men’s hockey in Finland. She couldn’t stick on the fourth line and came home looking like a beaten dog.
    If I was PMSH I wouldn’t worry too much about what “Suzuki’s athletes” happen to think.

  35. wow. 2,000 WHOLE votes.
    Yep.
    Prentice is hiding in his 5-star hotel in Dopenhagen, shivering.
    You’ve already been sent down the river fools. You don’t matter as much as Quebec.

  36. Is there a podcast or something buried on the page of the interview?
    Their web designer needs to find new employment.

  37. I don’t like women’s sports. As for the olympics, once they announced that Vancouver was getting the games I made my mind up to be out of the country while they were on. Politicians, athletes, brian williams…. nauseating.

  38. I was living in Calgary during the ’88 Olympics, that’s when the whole Olympic thing died for me. The money, the bigwigs, the money…it has nothing to do with athletics and everything to do with money, BIG money. At least Calgary came out ahead. I predict the 2010 winter Olympics will be a huge financial wash that British Columbians will be paying for, for a long long time. Of course Gord Campbell can always just bump up the good old carbon tax on everything, that outta help a bit with the bottom line AND stop global warming, um, climate change.

  39. I think Sports Canada had more to do with this petition, like sign it or we cut your funding, or you don’t compete…….etc. pretty simple, eh?

  43. Its disconcerting to me that when some people attain fame – if not fortune – something happens to their moral bearings. The number of celebrities who hang on to the skirts of jerks like Suzuki and Gore is, I think, indicative of them having to fit in with the beautiful people.
    If you don’t drink the Kool-aid – you don’t belong. With k.d. Lang its explainable because she’s just plain goofy to start with but Haley W signing up is just plain disappointing.
    Haley – stick to hockey. Go Canada Go!

  44. Hayley Wickenheiser , one that doesnt even think of herself as being on the government dole for more than half her life.

  46. I followed the link to the ‘Signatories’ at the top, I dearly wanted to change the text of suzuki’s message to Canada’s leaders, but I didn’t want to increase his ‘letters sent’ graph. Also, the site may have changed my content back to the version they wanted to send.
    Thanks Kate

  47. I’m glad it is now global warming that is the greatest threat to Canadian winter sports… during the last winter games it was funding… at least we got that fixed.
