“Canada is kicking ASS in the Fossil Of The Day Awards! – Stan
In the past three days, Canada has earned itself two first place and two second place medals, including an impressive sweep on Day 1 in Durban. (The U.S. and Poland deserve honorable mention for their first place medals.) Canada looks on track to earn a 5th consecutive Fossil of the Year.
Now, time to head on over and gloat!
Proud!
Wait, what?
We won the gold! Even BETTAR!!!!!!!111111111111111111111
We’re number ONE! We’re number ONE! We’re number ONE! We’re number ONE! We’re number ONE! We’re number ONE!
Once again we own the podium!
*snif*…As overcome as I am about our country winning these prestigious awards, I wish to thank my father…who taught me to challenge outlandish claims from leftist morons who wouldn’t recognize real science if it hit them in the face.
Goota go now, time to light the celebratory bonfire and watch all of that life-giving CO2 waft up into the atmosphere…
I think I’ll go idle my truck for 15 minutes to celebrate. Didn’t I read somewhere that Canada is a consumer of CO2 as opposed to a producer. Any new deal has to recognize that we maintain massive forests. Other countries have chosen to destroy theirs.
Da! Da! Canada!
Nyet! Nyet! Euro-sh1t!
And until Australians start massively using air conditioning like in the U.S. I think God’s winter home is going to enjoy gold-medal finishes for quite some time.
Maybe we can send more flat-panel TVs to Attawapiskat to goose our numbers even more?
Remember: you don’t win the silver, you lose the gold.
Better than winning a Grammy, anyway.
Nice scorecard here:

Needs more maple leafs though…
Does anyone have any good Earth Day pictures, maybe that would put us over the top?
The one with the heater inside the fridge might help.
16 points – English liberal democracies
6 – non-English democracies
They are merely being racists bastards. Why no dictatorships with air that kills people? Why the countries with the toughest environmental standards on earth? Because the people doing this are the lowest form of racist slime in the world.
Those Berekely cats have no sense of satire at all…to be expected…
I’ll crank up the thermostat a couple of degrees and turn on even more lights to celebrate our win. Do we get a life-size tyrannosaurus erected in Drumhellar if we end up as victors at Durbageddon? What I’d like to see is some of the watermelon moonbats go to Yellowknife at this time of year and try to live a low carbon existance. Just solar power and wind power to heat their homes. At least their carcasses wouldn’t start to smell until springtime.
The height of hypocrisy is to be lectured to by the chicoms who’ve increased their per-capita CO2 emissions by 200% over the last 20 years. I guess they’re a 3rd world country when it suits them.
So glad to see that we finally have a government that is telling the watermelons what they can do with their totalitarian energy control plans. Maybe we should slap a $50/barrel carbon tax on any oilsands oil exported to China to punish them for their stand on Canada’s scientifically correct position (just have to get that pipeline built across BC first).
No! What we have to do is keep a strong economy while doing our best to curb all pollution. If we did what our climate elites would have us do, we would eventually become one of poor nations that we are supposed to feel guilty about.
We cannot save the planet, if indeed it even requires our saving of it, through a policy of national poverty.
Besides, most of the poor nations have nice tropical climates.
Awesome!
Let’s not get carried away now. Remember to use a coaster.

If I’m gonna f@ck the environment there isn’t gonna be any coasters involved…sorry..just that way…
Can’t seem to register on that site, but if I could this would be my response (if someone else wants to post it for me, they are welcome to).
“Poor, poor American progressives. Their O’messiah is at the controls and is quite occupied with tasks such as creating new ways to tank the economy and finding whose ass to kick over spilled oil (a genuine environmental disaster). A spill which would have been far less severe if their Narcissist in Chief were not too proud to accept help when it was offered by those within the oil industry (the Dutch specifically) who had expertise in controlling offshore spills (the Dutch specifically).
Not sure if he ever decided on whose ass to kick over that, but perhaps during one of his long gazes in the mirror the light bulb will go on. Not that I’m suggesting he might have difficulty making the decision, or any decision for that matter. Just the other week he showed off his amazing decision making ability by not making a decision about the Keystone pipeline until after the next election. By the way, what do you suppose the odds are of an offshore oil spill being created by the Keystone pipeline?
Those who are hard working, freedom loving Americans must now look north for inspiration. The land once ridiculed as a haven for socialism has become a beacon of light for free enterprise and has an economy that is outperforming every other G20 country to show for it. Canada is also rapidly taking actions to reverse previous government incursions on individual freedoms as well. One shining example is the imminent (within the next few days) scrapping of the long gun registry.
… and the UN one-worlders who shelter the likes of Mugabe are aghast.”
Family Cow : 1 , Sack of Magic Beans : 0
Aghast is what they deserve..nay…crave…too bad aghast is beyond their vocab…a realization too far…no capacity for ghast..ghastless in every sense..persona non ghasta
On the upside…about time the family cow won one…Larsonesque no less…
Desmond Tutu made a bubu.
Funny eh, when Mommy sticks an extra ‘h’ in your name, you are more or less doomed to become an effette little hand-wringer.
What?? No Participation award just for showing up? Peter Kent – the man who dared to say, “The green emperor has no clothes.” Go Canada!
Maurice Strong has now joined Brian Mulroney and Paul Desmarais in investing the Asia Power Group’s $100 million venture capital in “small coal-fired power plants being built in the south of China”. They are also looking at “larger projects in northern China, as well as in Malaysia, the Philippines and India.” The Asian economies are expected to spend $1 trillion [US] on essential infrastructure, of which an estimated $400 billion [US] will be on power generation. Chinese and Asian labour costs are low – as low, in China, as $45 per month – and potential profits are high.
The Nov/Dec. 1993 issue of David Rockefeller’s Council on Foreign Relations’ publication FOREIGN RELATIONS contains an article, THE RISE OF CHINA, in which we are warned that China will begin to use more energy than the United States within a few decades, massively straining the world’s energy supplies. Most of China’s energy comes from the burning of soft, high-sulphur, highly- polluting coal. In 1991 alone, 11 trillion cubic meters of waste gases and sixteen million tons of soot were emitted into the atmosphere over China – and it has only just begun its long process of increased energy generation!
The suphur in this coal causes acid rain. The burning of the coal releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the most efficient “greenhouse gas” in the global warming process.
Trudeau,Chretien and Paul Martin were all Powercorp flunkies.
OK, the key to winning is China. If we can get their vote, the rest of the slow countries will follow. Let’s tell ’em they won’t get a drop of our tar sands oil unless they kick the rhetoric up a notch, from “bad example” to “environmental criminal”.
Here in the Great White North, we like to think of oil as “Gaia’s Gift” of highly concentrated liquid sunshine.
Due to the plethora of divergent political interests, and the amount of bad faith that is self-evident in the world, its refreshing that Canada is finally pointing out the obvious.
Its not so much that you can’t have a global agreement unless it applies equally to all, its the fact that due to the point above that a truly global agreement is just not achievable.
Of course using the cover of wanting a global treaty for a noble cause, is handy if what you really want a global tax regime.
This is rich: From the LEGAL PLANET: The Environmental Law and Policy site:
“The official government news agency of China, Xinhua, reprimanded Canada for setting a ‘bad example.'”
LOL! Being reprimanded by China for being a bad example??? That’s when I finally clued in that this UCLA Law blog wasn’t a tongue-in-cheek parody of the Fossil of the Day Awards. The idiots actually agree with China. (Remind me never to engage a UCLA-“educated” lawyer.)
Durban and the AGW cheerleaders are the Fossils, not just of the day but year ’round.
Our first award,s! Thank you all in the tin foil hat brigade and thanks to all the Berserklians 30 fathoms down for the post.
A word of caution. We should not let this go to our heads. As the Japanese satellite data have shown, we Canadians, yes, that’s you and me, we are net absorbers of CO2!!! It’s this country’s dirty little secret. No wonder people in the third world are upset with us. They’re cranking it out, and we’re sticking it away in our boreal forests like little CO2 pigs. It’s time to do something about that folks. Ask yourself not what CO2 can do for you, but what you can do for CO2. In light of that, I propose the SDA national CO2 challenge. Drive, heat, light a fire, run an extra km — whatever it takes to make Canada a giver, not a taker of this life-giving, greening gas. It’s a lifestyle choice. The world will thank you.
My comment: “Personally, I think every Canadian should have a fossil award to put on display in our living rooms every winter, when we have the furnaces fired up to the max to keep warm and toasty when it’s -50 C outside. BRING – IT – ON!!!!
Oh, and maybe one to hang from the rear view mirror in our gas guzzling vehicles, especially those that have a block heater installed that has to be plugged in overnight when it’s colder than -20 C, otherwise they won’t start in the morning, and we won’t be able to see through the windshield because the cold air has frosted/fogged it all up.
And I won’t even mention how far we have to drive to get from point A (where we live) to point B (where we work) after we get the damned things started when it’s -50 C throughout the month of January and part of February. But it’s a good thing we do get to work, cause without that income, how could we send all that foreign aid to backward countries spewing CO2 into the atmosphere.
But that’s a Canadian thing. We’re a hardy lot. We like it.
Anyway, I want my fossil award!!! And I want it now!!!!”
Canada is doing an exceptional job exposing the lies and corruption of the IPCC and using Durban to drive a stake through the cold green heart of the Great Global Warming Ponzi Scheme.
“Ding, dong, Kyoto’s dead, the ponzi scheme is dead.’
As a proud member of the Canuckistan tribe, I am intensely proud of those Fossil of the Day awards. A true measure of political honesty, of now bowing down to the Gaia extortion racket being run by Greenpeace and the WWF et al.
I have a message for the Eco-Greenie Grifters and Scammers from Canada.
BLOW ME !
I need a mantle to display by Fossil Award, damn I don’t have a fireplace with a mantle I guess I’ll have to go cut down a tree to make one.
Love that “Common but Differentiated Responsibilities”. Orwellian for some of us get to pollute but others can’t.
Truthfully. I’ve never been prouder of Canada for it’s decision to stand up and say, ‘this is a scam and we’ll not be part of it.’
We da best!!!…We da best…. gunna burn Suzuki & Gore in effigy, idle my truck for an hour, and go down to Sears and turn on all of the electric appliances to celebrate. We da best….!!
What can I say; I’m just a little speechless now; but I can honestly say our team always gives 110% and probably everything they’ve got and at the end of the day nothing is left in the tank. Wow this is just too much.
I can’t be bothered to sign up for Twitter just to post on that wanker’s blog.
Think I’ll go burn some tire rubber off my truck instead.
Have I mentioned I’m really enjoying our new Conservative majority? ~:D
When the people are united and they are all igniting, Canada wins! Watermelons lose!
“Desmond Tutu made a bubu.”
A racist simpleton. If it’s white it’s bad. Recommendation to South – Africa the last white to leave should shut out the lights. Normally archbishops quit using the term when they are no longer an archbishop unless they are full of $h!t windbags.
I used to be a strong supporter of the Dalai Lama until he chose Communist China over Alberta. At least I no longer have to spend a second worrying about him and his ethnically cleansed people. A word of advice to Tibet – learn Chinese and join the Communist Party.

“More importantly though, Canada’s international reputation will be tarnished.”
The $6.7 billion cost of complying with Kyoto..
************************************************
Canada just saved almost 7 billion,
Tarnishment is good
Well, one should always do one’s best. Harper deserves the thanks of all mankind.
YAHOO,it’s about time we quit pouring money into this b.s.Suzuki and gore should be publicly flogged and urinated on for their years of fraud and lies.!!!1
Oh poop!!
First is first and second is nowhere.
Second is the first looser.
I’m so disheartened.
This is great news. Three cheers for PM Harper and Minister Kent.
flogged and urinated on-
–
Ouch!
The Chinese government has got it right. Go to Durban, make environmentalist noises, and build those coal-fired power plants. Canada, not so subtle, but we get there anyway.
Describing the Durban propaganda show as “negotiations” is idiotic. Real negotiations are done quietly and behind closed doors.
Canada is being the best example it could be in Durban! This fraud needs to be exposed for what it is. China is angry because under Kyoto it wants the $$$ money. Wouldn’t anyone on the end of that money pipeline be mad at the payers to pull away from the payees??? That includes Russia, China, India, Africa, etc. etc. Canada sits on a vast reserve of liquid gold that the world needs to power itself economically. We are also one of the coldest nations on earth and require energy to preserve the good quality of life that we now enjoy so more power to Canada. I hope that Canada will take every stupid fossil award from here on out and shove it in those detractors faces. I also hope that Canada will take the lead on the world stage by withdrawing support both monetarily and otherwise from the shill organization of the UN.
Let’s not be too confident just yet. The judges just awarded Brazil a gold and Canada bronze.
Over at the Climate Action Network they’re apalled that we’re not playing their game; even worse, we’re playing them.
“When Canada’s fossils were announced in the House of Commons, a round of applause broke out. Is the Canadian government laughing about death, starvation, and displacement?
If Peter Kent were in Durban right now, he would know that no one is laughing here… Canada is leaving the world no choice but to leave them behind here in Durban.”

“When Canada’s fossils were announced in the House of Commons, a round of applause broke out. Is the Canadian government laughing about death, starvation, and displacement?”
If this is true, I have renewed respect for the Conservatives. The Canadian government is laughing at the idiots handing out the medals. Is that not obvious to the idiots?
What Ken’s said!
(And, Scar, much as I hate to take Tutu’s side on anything, archbishops, like American presidents, do, indeed, keep their title after retirement. But there are lots of other things to excoriate this idiot for: Good Lord, deliver us!)
My fave comment at the linked site,is ‘Own the Podium!’
lookout
“archbishops, like American presidents, do, indeed, keep their title after retirement”
I knew they kept the title of bishop.
