Think about it. If these 15,000 people truly believed that carbon emissions were destroying the planet, wouldn’t they find a way to have a zero carbon footprint meeting? Maybe video conference from multiple locations.

But they don’t. The insiders–those who know what’s really going on, have seen the really data, and know where the skeletons are buried–behave as if carbon emissions are meaningless.

I see this as another smoking gun that we are being defrauded.

Shocking! Clearly they believe people have short memories.

Here’s the link…

“More than 2000 delegates watched the four-minute long film ‘Please Help the World’ when COP15 opened this morning. Thousands of other delegates watched the opening on screens in meeting rooms at the Bella Center.

“We have made a film which speaks to the heart rather than to the brain,” says the Danish director of the film Mikkel Blaabjerg Poulsen.

The film shows a six-year old girl who has a nightmare about the destruction of the planet due to climate change. She wakes up and begs politicians to “please help the world”, in a touching scene on top of a skyscraper.

“I hope that the film can affect politicians in a positive way, so that they may raise their goals a little higher, because their emotions have been touched,” says Mr. Poulsen. The film is made by Danish production company Zentropa RamBUk.”

A chilly 15c in Melbourne this morning, where 24c is the average for this time of year.

Sydney was predicted to be 35c today, 40c+ in the west where I am, but it rose to a fairly normal 28c in Sydney. It’s actually quite nice out there, I’d say about 32c.

So much for the “catasrophic” weather on it’s way for NSW.

Real problems lost in the pro-AGW and pro_Copenhagen stories in the MSM *sigh*.

Yep, this could get dangerous. Many people around here have driven in the snowy Sierras with or without chains but, conversely, many haven’t.

I lived in Alberta, Canada for two years, and I’m from the North of England, so I’m not particularly fazed by this, but if it gets much below freezing tonight, it could be serious tomorrow morning.

I doubt that they have any gritters anywhere near here.

Be safe.

See “Climategate: The good shepherds”:

Agree with you Roger. It is not entirely out of arrogance this attitude arrives. But there is the sense of entitlement, and condescending stewardship. In this case the shepherds attempted to steward without first checking the viability of their story. And now discover that so much tampering has been required as to easily unravel.

Perhaps the shepherds will learn to confide in their flocks more – which will then grow trust between them. Not a bad lesson.
