Maybe next year
To finish off my trilogy of global warming blogs I bring you this.
Copenhagen was a EPIC fail, as we all deep down knew it was going to be.
Lets put the Co2 debate on the side and the discussion about actual global warming.
It was abundantly clear to anyone who actually paid attention to what was going on over there that they were not talking about global warming at all. That was simply the cover story for the real disccussion on redistribution of wealth from the EU and USA to all the poor distressed despots around the world. It was a politcal nightmare that simply degenerated into a knock down drag out fight on who is going to get 10 billion dollars and who would get the shaft and only get 2 billion dollars.
We heard some great stories from delegates who say their country would disappear off the map in 5 years if we do not act now. Al Gore once again calling for the end of the polar ice cap in under 5 years, well maybe 75% chance and then a clarification from his office that he really does not know what the hell he is saying.
So in other words nothing was done, no action, no money for the poor and down trodden.
Maybe in Mexico next year we can hammer out a financial deal that will make everyone happy.
And for all of you who actually think this is about global warming. Well you were once again left out in the cold and did not have a chance to make your case, because your part of the con game has been played out. Now step aside and let the politcians take over and get some money.

Rated one because you misspelled Copenhagen. :)

nice :} my bad. I apologize to all the danes so they dont boo me into the pitch in the warpstone open.

Dunno about you as a coach, but as a human being you fail..more epically than Copenhagen ever could have.
Of course it was clear from the start that Copenhagen would not survive the bombardment of combined US oil lobbyist and chinese growth fascist attacks, but to be happy about that?

I'm more worried about these little 'poor luxury anxiety anarchists' in hoods that throw rocks at everything that moves when these meetings are held. I wish they could quit their frigging whining and work things properly if they really want to change things, and not just destroy 'the evil society', which foolishly defends their right to speak.
Can't take them seriously... although there seems to be quite a few of them around...

You seem to be the mold for the right wing stereotype PainState :)

Thats the totality of your input Fela?

Typical Euro response and classic German at that.
what ever man.

either conserve living space or don't use any at all. thanks for reading and your own conclusions.
P.S.: isn't earth a beautiful place and worth keeping?

I had a colleague that firmly believed that the whole 'global warming' issue was a massive joke, and that the reality was that the 'warming' was a natural occurence. I remember him showing me a 'hockey stick' graph illustrating the cycle of warming of the earth over X centuries. Now I'm on the fence when it comes to this issue, on one hand I believe little that the politicans say, but surely we can not be doing the planet any good with our massive levels of industrialisation. Mabye I should research the issue more. I rated this 6 because I find this whole topic (both sides of the argument) fascinating.
BTW, This christmas My 3 sons all get a bikes (and helmets!). And my wife got me a bike (with a helmet!) I can't wait to fall off and look like a 36 yr old idiot dad on the bike! But I intend to cycle a lot with my boys, and save the planet a bit!
Happy Christmas Pain!

Well X-mas is going to be awesome this year. My twin 3 year old boys are at the perfect X-mas age, this year and next year will be fun.
Got Mason his electric guitar with stand alone amp, and yes he plays the guitar, not really playing per se but struming the strings whille singing along to Laurie Miller, his favortie band.
and Kaden got his dream back yard grill with accesories. the $15 smokey joe type so he can grill with dad in the back yard.
Dont worry guys the world is not going to end in under 5 years from global warming. When any crisis is really about money transfers you do not have to worry.
Plus a lot of other goodies.

"When any crisis is really about money transfers you do not have to worry."
Wise words Painstate. If this were truly an emergency, there wouldn't be talk about fines and cap n trade. Far more drastic solutions would be happening, even the oil companies would help. No civilization, no customers.
Calcium, don't be fooled. All that stuff is a bunch of statistic ghosts. Where's the real experiments??? Make a room that is independent of outside temperature. Simulate the sun's spectra and magnitude with constant output. Add water and vegatation on floors and walls. Add nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 330 ppm CO2. Record temp at equilibrium.
Keep everything constant. Only change...a small micro-puff of CO2 to raise the level by 0.0008% (to today's level).
Record new temperature change if any.
See if it's 0.4C hotter. If no, then no global warming.
Simple experiment, so why isn't all over the net? Answer: it would kill the global warming scam.

Yeah, possibly one big hoax to subdue, intimidate and prey on the working middle class once more.
