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.
Read the link for the rest. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the concept of using “oil” as an insult.
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….
copenhagen theme song?

it’s different when a 70s rock group belts it out. I saw Slade at the local concert venue the year I got married.
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.

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.

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.”
