Since we last checked in on our favourite self-vindicating Climategate character, Associated Press “science” writer Seth Borenstein has taken to hanging out with the cool kids in Copenhagen;
With U.N. security letting in only those cleared last week, hundreds of accredited delegates, journalists and NGO representatives were left to stand for hours in near-freezing temperatures before being let through. “It was crazy,” AP’s Seth Borenstein said. “You couldn’t leave the line. You couldn’t go to the bathroom, you couldn’t eat. Then snowflakes started falling. One woman even said, ‘if lightning strikes me, would they take me out of line?'”
People started handing out food — one gave out tangerines, another croissants. A man screamed “I don’t need food. I need socks! I’m freezing my ass off out here.” At one point, a U.N. official announced the wait would be longer, prompting the crowd to boo and chant “Let Us In!” […]
Seth himself stepped into the line at 7:55 a.m. and was through at 3:15 p.m., but only after another AP reporter, John Heilprin, “saved my bacon” by persuading a U.N. security guard to go out and fetch him. “John was afraid to go out himself in case they wouldn’t let him back in … the first thing I did when I saw him was give him a big hug. I have never been so grateful to be indoors.” Seth’s neighbors in line? “Oh they’re still out there.”
And just in the gloal warming nick of time!
Indeed – “This entire circus would be funnier if not for what is at stake: trillions of dollars in regulatory actions and billions of dollars in aid to developing nations. And, if there were to be some miracle and nations in attendance did sign an agreement, who would be in charge of monitoring all these agreed to carbon reductions and oversight of all that development aid? The same entity that can’t even figure out that 45,000 people won’t into a 15,000 person building; the United Nations.”
I guess we know when Al Gore’s flight arrived.
Isn’t it fascinating how the brains of idealogues, those who exist solely within ideology, are rationally immune to their direct physical experiences of reality?
They may physically be experiencing extreme cold but since their ideology insists that ‘the planet is warming’, this direct data is ignored.
Fascinating how their brains are disconnected from their bodies.
Now why can’t we get those green-peace protesters to show that kind of dedication.
I’m thinking January 1, just outside the west edmonton mall, 30 below, they do their naked stunt, stand around for about 5 hours in the cold, works for me.
I hope that ‘Seth the Enabler’ freezes his tootsies off.
Irony abounds – first since when is 0 temperatures cold to the point that people are ‘freezing their asses off!!!’ I doubt that any of these people could survive in SK temperatures of -35 and windchill of -50. Besides if this is a global warming conference, they shouldn’t be cold at all!
“Fascinating how their brains are disconnected from their bodies.”
…and for that matter everything else.
There are three kinds of people in the world. Those that know math, and those that don’t.
Isnt it about time to re run the series from the UN or US diplomat mole that was around when the Tsunami hit…..documented quite well just what the UN did well, drive around in jeeps, and what the USN did, delivery food and aid.
Until the great global warming scam, Jonathan Swift and George Orwell were teachers. Were they alive today, they’d be students.
“I’m freezing my ass off out here.”
ROFL, priceless
Good thing they were freezing their asses off. Otherwise they would have drowned in the floodwaters endangering all those children.

“Polar Bear Goes Hunting for Climate-Gate Scientist at Copenhagen Summit
Using a megaphone that pierced the rumble of hundreds of people gathered at the conference center housing Copenhagen’s climate conference, a man dressed as a polar bear went looking for controversial scientist Phil Jones — but he was nowhere to be found.
To a chorus of boos, a man dressed as a polar bear entered Copenhagen’s main conference center Tuesday and began paging the discredited climate scientist whose hacked e-mails sparked the Climate-Gate scandal.
Using a megaphone to pierce the rumble of hundreds gathered inside the Bella Center, which is hosting the city’s global climate summit, the polar bear boomed out:
“PHIL JONES??? HAS ANYONE SEEN PHIL JONES???”
Jones, who stepped down from his leading academic post amid swirling scandal earlier this month, has reportedly skipped the climate conference entirely. But his shadow and his words could affect its outcome.

They may not be able to competently plan a conference but I’m sure they have a great plan for the funds they are seeking. 😉
…why does Seth seem to come across as an empty-headed teenage groupie who just wants a little “bus time” with a favorite rock band?
Curious thing, we’ve gone from “Global Warming”, to “Climate Change”, to, (of course forgetting the “70’s New Ice Age”). Fact is CLIMATE CHANGES CONSTANTLY.
Anyone thinking, that as an individual, we MAY have an impact on such an uncontrable variable as the cosmic reality of this EARTH, is doing some really good drugs or is totally out of touch with history, OR, looking for cash from loopies…..
But then, I realize that “Public School” reality, or teaching mantra, presently has no bearing on FACTS. It’s a MANTRA. Facts, real science, READING, rather than accepting a mantra, are the only solution.
Remember, The Ice Age existed, Dinosaurs existed, Forests at the North Pole existed, Lakes and seas on the prairies existed. Change is constant!!!
A human person’s actions, or a societies ability to impact is nothing more than a dream, or a FUND RAISING CAUSE.
Have a viewing and READ, forget the trash espoused by your CAUSE, if not for $$$$$$, they would have no need for sheep and those unwilling to RESEARCH FACTS people. READ THE FACTS, LOOK AT HISTORY.
READ and BE AWARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at the REAL PICTURE of THIS EARTH.
Redistibution of wealth, payments on some obscure basis, feeling bad for A SUCCESSFUL ECONOMY is garbage. The only ones who gain are despots.
Copenhegan is a joke, garbage at best, and an attempt to re-distribute wealth as a basis. The UN has evolved into a joke, and deserves to be desolved. Those who need protection and help, do not get it (Rwanda), those who play and know the system, (Nigeria/Somalia etal) OH POOR IS ME, do well.
TTFN, all the best, Reality may suck, History may suck, and global reality may do the same. For the unwilling to THINK for themselves, and blindly accept platonic garbage: Go Away, Stay Away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do not expect REAL PEOPLE, with questioning, enquiring, and rational minds, to support or accept the “VIEW”, “THE MANTRA”, or the “CAUSE” without question, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.
We have a desire for truth, and a healthy scepticism. The facts and reality, will prevail!!!!!!! -45 to -10 in 24 Hrs, who can I thank?????? OR Blame!!!!!!!!!
Consider this,
“The amount of money spent on climate change to save ONE (1) poor African from starving would save FIVE THOUSANDS (5000) poor Africans from starvation if spent on fighting poverty instead”

paraphrasing/going from memory here,
Sorry -no link- I just heard it on the News Hour on Vermont PBS ( I actually heard it twice; it was aired an hour later on Mountain lake PBS )
Just proves one thing to most of us here: the ‘delegates’ going to hopychangie are not working people. They do not go outside in ‘extreme’ temperatures and they have the jealousy of the lesser man to punish ‘those who do’ as verses ‘those who preach/teach’; They hate the confident men of deeds for being better, stronger and capable. Envy and jealousy have ugly faces.
On the flip side there is nothing funnier than a wet hen of a man flopping around in unfamiliar, uncomfortable surroundings! Feather brain didn’t wear socks because he is accustomed to a direct max 5 min transfer from warm car to stifling warm building. They think, in their feeble, feminine brains that only stupid men work outside, they want to think that their superior brain ‘entitles’ them to comfort – all the time. I got my chuckle for the day with the image of those fools at their ‘summit’.
The female ‘bellowers’ are another story…
maybe we’ll get lucky and an asteroid hit will take out Copenhagen.
Of course, they use that as proof of global warming because everything is caused by global warming.
Or is it Al Gore flatulence?
I can hardly wait for the day that shit-for-brains people like “Seth” have to stand in a line like that in the cold to get a loaf of bread.
And there is none.
A man screamed “I don’t need food. I need socks! I’m freezing my ass off out here.”
The first casualty of global warming freezes his ass off.
This was truly a banner day!
“[S]ince when is 0 temperatures cold to the point that people are ‘freezing their asses off!!!’ I doubt that any of these people could survive in SK temperatures of -35 and windchill of -50.”
You have to experience the damp, grey, penetrating effect of European winter cold to appreciate it. In many ways, the bone-dry deepfreeze of a real Canadian winter is infinitely more bearable.
But, that said, you’re right: it’s clear that few of these buffoons have any true sense of the scope and scale of real nature and real weather at all. You don’t get that sort of experience when you live in a tidy little Euro-urban landscape.
You’ve got to go to the Alps or east to Poland and Russia or to the top end of Scandinavia to get anything that approaches the Canadian context.
“Besides if this is a global warming conference, they shouldn’t be cold at all!”
Ah, but as they’ll now tell you, weather isn’t climate. Or, to quote the ludicrous Linda Duncan MP, “Will the record deepfreeze across the prairies finally silence the last of the climate change deniers?”
Yup, it’s the ultimate argument: everything is climate change and climate change is everything.
“I need socks! I’m freezing my ass off out here.”
He doesn’t know where socks are worn but he knows how to save us.
We are so screwed.
The irony is just unbearable.
I’ve recollected my history lessons from years past wherein I was reminded of the occassion when Luther nailed his post-it note on the local chapel expounding on how it didn’t seem to negate one dot of evil in the world when the Holy See put on the blinders during the fire sale on indulgences.
This latest gab-fest that is attempting to shake down the west seems reminiscent of another international conference back after WWI where everybody was going to come to a global agreement to ban warfare. Seem to recall the US President of the time couldn’t get his house to vote for that global agreement either.
The irony was that within a scant few years the world was back at it again with a vengence.

Ok, now THAT one was reaching. 😉
I love the smell of climate believer Bacon frying in the morning at SDA.
Its an acquired taste!
Second comment came to me after I posted.
Remember the skit Carson used to do where he would put on that huge turban and play the role of the Great Karnak. He would put an evelope to his forehead and recite the answer.
I can see this confab as the punch line to one of those prognostications.
I love the polar bear looking for Phil Jones getting booed by the crowd. Must have been the Liberal Party of Canada/NDPers!!!
Wonder if he floated over from the north pole on one of those ice flows from the disappearing polar caps?
Global National News is praising China for its’ global warming efforts. I’m thrilled that the country which eliminated human rights is “striving” to decrease CO2 levels.
O thank you Most Wise Leader of Free China. O thank you wonderful Global News for extolling the virtues of the “peoples” republic.

I am tired of the “its a dry cold” argument. I will take 0 and damp over -40 PLUS windchill, thank you very much.
Kathyrn @ 8:32 best comment yet.
One woman even said, ‘if lightning strikes me, would they take me out of line?’
Er, wouldn’t God have already taken care of that for her?
Hilarious account at Gates of Vienna: http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2009/12/copenhagen-choo-choo.html
when can we change this to “global idiots”
and why would a greenie wear socks. I thought they just backcombed the hair on their legs. no not the guys!!, they just snuggle the squirrels in their beards.
Oh, and Seth Borenstein says another AP reporter “saved his bacon”?
Guess we know who isn’t keeping kosher this Channukah.
Talk about freezing your ass off.

“I am tired of the ‘its a dry cold’ argument. I will take 0 and damp over -40 PLUS windchill, thank you very much.”
Fine. But you get dark, grey days from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. as well.
Jeez, with everybody having the warm and fuzzies over there, how could they possibly be getting cold, what with that and all that global warming they’re harping about?
Here is tonight’s forecast for Toronto.
Unwarm with chance of unrain.
Outlook: doubleplusunwarm with chance of heavy unrain.
Somebody finally told a lefty socks don’t go with sandals. So he left his socks at home.
“I am tired of the ‘its a dry cold’ argument. I will take 0 and damp over -40 PLUS windchill, thank you very much.”
“Fine. But you get dark, grey days from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. as well.”
Dark & grey doesn’t freeze my poor little hands off working outside. Got lotsa portable lighting though.
My point is that near zero, damp, & dark while unpleasant, is much more livable and workable in then -40. I’ve tried both, and know which one I’d rather change out a block heater in….
From SDA: “who would be in charge of monitoring all these agreed to carbon reductions and oversight of all that development aid? The same entity that can’t even figure out that 45,000 people won’t into a 15,000 person building; the United Nations.”
Hahahaha, even a Plumbers Apprentis knows you can’t shove 10 turds down a 3 turd pipe.
