Send a greeting to Copenhagen Conference

Russ Steele writes:

Cop15_logo_imgDuring the UN Climate Change Conference 2009 (COP15), the Danish government invites the entire world to send their greetings to the conference. Greetings are submitted through www.greetings.cop15.dk and are composed of 150 characters of text.

Here is the greeting I sent:
“Please no economic suicide. Do nothing as soon as possible, and return to your home countries confident you have saved the planet.”

Please share the greeting that you sent in the comments to this post.  The greetings are subject to editorial review by the COP15 Committee, and I will bet most will never be posted except on this blog.

  1. Expat in France says:

    I sent this:

    “Please PLEASE stop and think what you’re doing. Think of the majority of us at home who DON’T want you to sign away our freedom and economy on this nonsense. It’s not Carbon Dioxide that’s the enemy, it’s Marxist socialist thinking, such as that currently represented in Copenhagen. Leave it alone, go home for all our sakes.”

    Bet they filter out all the anti stuff, and it never gets seen.

  2. Expat in France says:

    Rejected, too many words. I’ll try again…

  3. JonesII says:

    Drink, eat, [snip], in one word:enjoy!…this way you´ll save the world. Believe me!

  4. Peter says:

    Another scam, like Pen Hadow diretly from the ice? If you click NEXT, you get to see about 20 messages, always the same ones, despite claiming they have 5000+ already. No way to see them all or search them. Are you surprised I can’t see yours Anthony?

  5. JeffC says:

    Sadly, if your post does not support the predetermined COP15 agenda, I suspect the comments will not be posted. I spent several minutes reviewing posts and could not find a single one that didn’t support a binding agreement.

  6. timheyes says:

    Has the greetings site been hacked? I went to leave a message expressing my disatisfaction with the COP15 agenda but before I actually typed anything the CAPTCHA verification words were “deniers We”! Very funny!

    I have a screen print bmp and jpg but i don’t know how to post the pic on this comment’s thread.

  7. Please emit as much CO2 as you can in your speeches and your meetings. You might thus make a small gift towards preventing the coming ice age.

  8. Doug says:

    I know it’s too much to hope for, but I hope our elite politico-scientists’ climate change prevention aspirations reach a tipping point in Copenhagen, that the world sees IPCC for what it really is, that their influence tips into a permanent, irreversible decline that cannot be hidden, and that the world’s left wing environmental hacks spiral into a frenzy of passionate focus on feeding and caring for starving children, ending slavery, and helping societies cope with our dynamic, ever-changing world without first driving it into economic and social collapse.

    Greetings, Copenhagen.

  9. Robert S. Orr says:

    My message to the CCC…

    Please do not wreck the Western economies and damage democracy based on unreliable science. I for one do not want “global governance” by the UN.

  10. Ken Hall says:

    To paraphrase, I sent one asking for free cinema tickets in appreciation of the past 5 years worth of personal CO2 reductions I have made, which have now been offset by one celebrity jetting into Copenhagen!

  11. Ecotretas says:

    Sent moments ago:
    “Earth has had hotter years in the past, as we Portuguese can testify. Manmade warming is an illusion, as Climategate proves. Solve more urgent issues!!

  12. When you “view greetings” it cycles among about 15 preset greetings all with a “greenie” feel. Another engineered PR piece, sad to say.

  13. Mark, Edinburgh says:

    Why not leave something saying you agree with the official position of the Saudi government, i.e. that Copenhagen should not come to any firm conclusions until the emails have been fully investigated?

    Presumably they would have to publish that, otherwise it can just be forwarded to the Saudis to show how they being discriminated against?

    Also you could say you agree with the official position of the Indian government that’s there is no problem with the the glaciers – same logic.

  14. helvio says:

    This was my contribution, exactly 150 characters in length:

    «I hope you realize that the names of all of you will make History. Either as heroes or as clowns. Be wise. Think again. You still have time to change.»

  15. Ecotretas says:

    Just to let everyone know that instead of seeing one comment at a time, you can see much more:

  16. philw1776 says:

    I sent, “Please do not destroy the economy or transfer hard earned taxed wages to the 3rd world in a misguided attempt to counteract interglacial warming. ”

    Message said they’d post it. We’ll see! :)

  17. John Galt says:

    my contribution:

    AGW is a hoax – contrived by a bunch of silly blokes – return to your domiciles now – and deal with the emissions of the farting cow

    Please do not publish for profit without sharing any royalties. I really thought about the artistic value of this poem

  18. Morgan says:

    “Dear leaders of the world,

    “We know you’re using this trumped-up ‘scientific’ pretext to grab more power for yourselves. Enjoy your caviar, jerks.”

  19. James Chamberlain says:

    timheyes (09:13:08) :

    I agree. I had to refresh my page several times and the confirmation words were pretty funny, considering. I can’t think of any of them now, but they were all on the lines of what you had, but not quite as obvious.

    Also, it is quite obvious that the editors must be hard at work with what messages actually get displayed.

  20. Douglas DC says:

    Ecotretas (09:18:30)
    I have a bit of Portuguese in my blood,there hasn’t been many places on this planet
    that hasn’t been visited by Portuguese Sailors first.There is even a story of Columbus
    when he was a young man-worked on a Portuguese fishing boat-off the Grand Banks!
    waay before 1492! There hasn’t been much that hasn’t happened before-including warm/cold…

  21. algorejr says:

    Yo! Make me rich!

    Elitist rule, now and forever!

  22. chris y says:

    Here is my message;

    Save the forests! Grow more food! Let developing nations use fossil fuels to wipe out starvation, disease, and lack of education! Gaia loves CO2!

  23. Butch says:

    Message reads: Do nothing! Declare victory and go home!

  24. Kate U says:

    I sent the one you composed. It was good.

  25. Viv Evans says:

    I sent:

    Remember Ecclesiastes, Chapter 1, verses 1 – 10.

    As its ‘churchy’, it may get through.

    Verse 10 is especially appropriate:
    ‘Is there anything of which one can say “Look! This is something new!”?
    It was here already, long ago;
    it was here before our time.’

    … like the MWP, or ice ages …

  26. paulhan says:

    Please don’t criminalise CO2 when we don’t know if a crime has been committed. Focus on poverty and hunger instead. Our children will thank you for it

    Exactly 150 characters

  27. G.O.T. says:

    I see The Independent has finally caught on then?

    Maybe ;-)

  28. Hysteria says:

    Here’s mine….”You’ve got it wrong. Stop what you are doing and address real problems. Climate change exists and no Marxist dogma is going to help solve it.”

  29. Kate U says:

    I also note, The United States isn’t represented in any of the messages yet

  30. Varco says:

    The blogs at Copenhagen appear to be accepting sceptical input. See http://en.cop15.dk/blogs/view+blog?blogid=2854 where Connie Hedegaard, Minister for the UN Climate Conference, doesn’t seem to have ‘engaged’ her readers…

  31. Just The Facts says:

    “The gig’s almost up, enjoy the party and get ready, because 2010 should be a long walk off a short pier. Stay warm and don’t eat the yellow snow…”

  32. Theo says:

    My message:
    Don’t believe the politics masquerading as “science”. “Scientific consensus” is an oxymoron. The carbon footprint of COP15 shows there is no crisis.

  33. joated says:

    “Don’t do anything rash. The science upon which you are basing your actions is hardly settled. Enjoy your trip but DO NOTHING you will regret.”

    That’s what I sent. Had to curb my inner angst.

  34. bikermailman says:

    The American people, even the left leaning ones, aren’t too big on the idea of global governance, where we have no input whatsoever as to the officials making decisions that affect us directly. Expect much pushback from this, should you make decisions to institute this framework, or engage in your ‘social justice’ under the guise of environmental policy, as we will be the ones footing the bill.

  35. Stuart says:

    My message:

    Stop this madness! CO2 is life. Don’t deny natural climate change. You hope to manage because you are weak. Build schools instead. That is real hope.

  36. Norman says:

    First: The comments go to an editorial board before being posted?
    Second: The ones that are already on there are so sweet as to make my teeth hurt, almost as if they were written by an editorial board!
    Third: I wote something like –
    Be pragmatic, money, science and politics don’t mix well. make decisions on facts not on hopes.

  37. Cold Englishman says:

    Enjoy yourselves on my taxes, but I have seen the Emporer’s New Clothes

    Signed Phil Cheers

  38. P Walker says:

    Your little party at CO15 is nothing more than a sham . It will achieve nothing save the ruination of Western economies .

  39. Phillip Bratby says:

    Go home immediately before you ruin the economies of the world’s civilised nations, based on scientific lies. Stop wasting taxpayer’s money.

  40. Andy H says:

    “Fraud and falsehood only dread examination. Truth invites it.”
    -Samuel Johnson

  41. Climate Change says:

    Don’t bother. It’s like canned data from the Catlin expedition. I tried to cycle some messages and i only get a few in a loop. Carefully selected, of course! (except for one)

  42. David Hoyle says:

    “What you are doing is WRONG… please don’t sign away our freedoms…We the people elected you after all.”

    Thats sent…

  43. Mikey says:

    My greeting:

    I have reviewed a good selection of research and find the CO2 theory to be unsupported by the evidence. Get a life and stop trying to con us all.

  44. JP says:

    I just slicked through some of the comments already on the site, it said ther were 5000 or so. it seems that only a dozen or so loop through. kind of reminds me of some live biometric data on another site a few months back

  45. Cold Englishman says:

    They are simply cycling a dozen or so ‘on message’ comments.

    The one I really really liked was:-
    Please help the world take the action that is necessary, including working towards plant-based diet for everyone.

    If this garbage really is on a screen in the conference centre, it will be just likethe big screen in “Big Brother”. so, if you’re not scared of AGW, you should be scared of that.

  46. TitiXXXX says:

    “Free university,historically fountainhead of free ideas,experienced a revolution. Government contract becomes substitute for intellectual curiosity. ”

    second sent:
    “I want my children to have a future, a freedom-like future not a 1984-like future. Do nothing, stupids”

  47. Predicador says:

    Dear Leaders of the World,

    Please think for a minute – would Noah be able to build his ark if he had to pay carbon tax?

    ===

    disclaimer: I’m not religious but I think it’s a nice allegory :)

  48. barry moore says:

    I think they count spaces as characters I had to shorten mine to
    “If there is so much solid scientific proof of AGW why has every government categorically refused to have an unbiased public hearing on the subject.”
    They would let me add “When there is so much money at stake.”

  49. david atlan says:

    Probably in the garbage bin:
    There is no proof of man made warming,there isn’t even warming for the last 10 years. Save our taxes for real env. problems and polution by toxic wast

  50. david atlan says:

    sorry for the spelling in my post, was the only way to get it into 150 chars.

  51. Denbo says:

    “Pick up an STD while there!”

    Just joking I sent the following:

    “If YOU really believed in man made global warming you would not have generated so much CO2. Why not stay home and talk via cyberspace with each other.”

    In all honesty why don’t these fellows get a World of Warcraft account and talk online instead of flying from all around the world to meet there. At least it would add SOME cred to their claims that they themselves are ‘true believers”

  52. Ian Middleton says:

    My contribution:

    If the Prime Minister of Australia signs anything in Copenhagen, the citizens of Australia will charge him with TREASON.

    Somehow I don’t think that one will get through.

  53. George E. Smith says:

    I sent the following:-

    “”" Have a fun time in Copenhagen; and then go home and forget about CO2; we need all of it we can. It’s the WATER (H2O), silly! “”"

  54. Ecotretas says:

    They’ve got 2224 messages two minutes ago. Still don’t see mine there!

  55. John R. Walker says:

    Sent – “I am an AGW denier and proud of it…”

    Received – “Your greeting has successfully been sent to the COP15 editorial team. It will be posted on the website shortly.”

    Think it was message 16 out of 150 on the Dragonfly series…

  56. helen hill says:

    We smell fraud! Follow the money! You arrive in stretch limos, jets with plans to tax us heavily, co-opt resources. Time reveals evil schemes-always.

  57. Caleb says:

    It was very hard to edit my comment down to 150 letters. In the end it stated,

    ” For the average worker, conspicuous consumption’s a loud necktie. Polar bears aren’t hurt by bad taste, unless its a seal. Do nothing and go home.”

  58. michaelpgoad says:

    I wrote: That’s the wrong rock. Take it back and find another.

  59. Wade says:

    I posted this:

    “Don’t do it. Making a policy off a lie is about as smart as asking to kick in the shin repeatedly. (But I know you will ignore me, someone educated.)”

    I used the dragonfly.

  60. Ursus maritimus says:

    “My species is NOT threatened or endangered. Stop using us as propaganda.”

    Short and sweet. Now back to my ringed seal…

  61. JP says:

    http://en.cop15.dk/greetings/view/list?method=get&count=1000

    Of the hundreds I browsed, there is not a single one that objects to the summit or has a sceptical view of AGW. They are all being filtered.

  62. Nigel S says:

    Is there a prize for a picture of the message being shown to the delegates?

  63. FishSniper says:

    I sent the following: “Please have the courage to do nothing. Return home and be happy knowing that doing nothing at this time was the best possible decision.”

  64. Michael Alexis says:

    My message:

    Buy yourselves some carbon credits and use them to fill your garages with CO2. Breathe deeply, repeat until you start releasing methane.

  65. tallbloke says:

    The eyes of the world are upon you and your limos and jets and caviar and greed and lies based on bad science. History will not judge you kindly.

  66. Ray says:

    My greeting: “Environmentalism is not Science, it’s Religion.”

  67. ET says:

    “Today: Unexplained lack of warming for 10 years. Future: Sun decreasing next 2-3 cycles, PDO negative, AMO to follow in 5 years. NO GLOBAL GOVERNMENT!”

    It’s amazing what you can’t fit into 150 letters!!!

  68. Tetenterre says:

    Mine:

    Have the integrity to have the data subjected to open scrutiny *before* you make policy based on it.

  69. Layne Blanchard says:

    Dear Leaders of the world,

    Place the Cyanide punchbowl at the center of the meeting and party like it’s 1999! At the stroke of 12, spaceship Gorvana will drop in to pick U up!

  70. FishSniper says:

    Followed up my first with: “Don’t take this ther wrong way, but “consensus is the refuge of scoundrels” – your move.”

  71. Hard Rain says:

    Dear Leaders of the World,

    please remember the people you supposedly represent while you tour Copenhagen in your limousines. Don’t ask us to live up to standards you cannot.

  72. ET says:

    You can browse some of the entries, but I can only scroll through roughly 20 of them and they are all of one bent…it will be filtered and cherry picked.

    3rd party anyone? We need some boots to the rears boys and girls!!! I have my Sorels ON!

    Climate justice my #$%!

  73. Pops says:

    150 characters? Piece of cake:

    Copenhagen prostitutes offer free sex to anyone who produces a ‘Be sustainable – don’t buy sex’ postcard and their COP15 identity card. GO TO IT LADS!

    Piss take? You bet.

  74. Ken Hall says:

    I have looked at the other comments posted to their site. When you click back to go through them, you get a random selection of about 25 pro-warmist messages being repeated, despite the bit at the bottom claiming thousands of messages. Not one critical message was shown.

    Looks like the “live” Arctic medical data on the polar expedition website to me!

    More warmist lies?

  75. Ray says:

    I also sent this one: “The real prostitutes in Copenhagen are not those working in red light district, but are those attending COP15. How much for a hot air BJ?”

  76. Mike from Canmore says:

    Using the false pretenses of catastrophic AGW to put money in the hands of despots only prolongs the poverty of the 3rd world. Stop THIS!!

  77. Tenuc says:

    Message sent. Sham that not of the politicians will take a blind bit of notice.

    I wonder how much more tax people will be willing to part with?

    I hope they remember that we are many, and they are few.

  78. Aligner says:

    “The world does not want and will never accept global governance. GO HOME NOW before you set down in history the start of World War III.”

  79. Sticky says:

    Please stop at once. The world does not need a self serving political solution to an unproven hypothesis. You do all in the world a historic wrong.

  80. Nigel S says:

    Here’s one at least

    Rob Thomas
    I will believe in the climate crisis when you people start acting like it is a crisis and modify your personal lifestyles. Until I see that, sod off.

  81. A Robertson says:

    Please enjoy your visit to lovely Copenhagen. Make no decisions. Return to your home countries certain that you have saved the planet and it’s people.

  82. Ian Middleton says:

    I’ve just read a bunch of those messages.
    I feel I want to vomit

  83. CalGrad says:

    I said something like :Each of you produced more CO2 on this visit than my entire household does in a year. Stop being hypocrites, go home, and leave us ALONE.

    It was exactly at 150. :)

  84. Kouzgondeh says:

    In honor of this day and all that it stands for I will necklace a tree with an automobile tyre.

    Down with the Transnational Socialist Feudal State.
    End the Elitist aparthied rule over the middle class.

    It’ll make the Mandelas proud

  85. Ben says:

    I put this :

    Please, stop politicizing climate. Also, remember that what we ignore about the climate is much bigger than what we know.

  86. Jason P says:

    I tried to view the greetings. They seem to be fixed. Ring a bell???

  87. lassmiranda says:

    I sent

    “Please save us! You, our mighty and holy overlords, have to prevent the earth from catching fire and burn us! For the sake of our children, I beg you!”

  88. DonS says:

    I said: The climate is fine. The world economy is not. Go home and fix your economy and the climate will take care of itself.

    It does show lots of comments – and its ghastly stuff!
    But then, that’s exactly what the dear leaders want to hear: ‘be good leaders and save us from climate change’.

    My comment – [self-deleted].

  90. paullm says:

    I simply used Russ’s second sentence and added support for the Saudis and Indians positions. No doubt non-supportive greetings will never get to the “Leaders”.

  91. drew chatterton says:

    by the use of contractions and sweat, I got it down to 150 characters. I posted on my facebook too.
    “CRU leak shows the warmist “science” is fraudulent. Please don’t compound the crime by ruining the worlds economy too. You’ll be held accountable”

  92. paullm says:

    My “greeting” was 5,498. I scrolled previous greetings and found repetitions.

  93. Clive says:

    Millions of people need health care and clean water. Do not waste trillions trying to alter natural climate. A crime to humanity. Shame on you all.

  95. forfismum says:

    Mark from Edinburgh has a good idea so I posted this
    “I support the Saudi Government,do nothing until the data fraud is checked out “

  96. Rick K says:

    Save the earth, help her people… BY DOING NOTHING!!!

  97. Paul Hughes says:

    This is scary. Has anyone found any climate sceptic comments? I have looked at as many as I could stomach, couldn’t find one. I shouldn’t have been so naive I suppose.

  98. Boudu says:

    So how come when I click ‘Next’ it just cycles around the same twenty (very pro Copenhagen) messages. At the bottom it say message 1 of 5583 messages. I suspect a ‘Live from the Ice’ type scenario here !

  99. R Dunn says:

    My Message

    Rats! I forgot to sign my name as ‘Phil Jones.’

  101. Richard says:

  102. Richard says:

    Retrieve my message please

  103. Atomic Hairdryer says:

    Enjoy the Danish shopping and hookers at my expense. Do not sign anything. Do not return home. You are not wanted here.

  106. Eddie says:

    Ecotretas

    When I clicked your link it brought up a screen full of text of what appears to be other responses. I kept adding 0′s to the end and eventually got to a point where it quit adding more text. Copy and pasted it to a text file for future reading. Not sure what was really there but I recognized a few of them from the View Greetings screen. It would be funny if it were all of their responses.

  107. Oscar says:

    Not in my name! Climate change fears have grown to hysterical levels and you are responsible for it. There are far bigger problems in the world.

  108. Ric Werme says:

    At http://en.cop15.dk/greetings/view/rss?method=rss one of the messages was:

    [From] Don’t trust you, United States of America
    [Message] The “science” behind the IPCC is a fraud.

    So they’re some stuff through. Oh, this is cute. makes no sense, but neither do many of the supporting comments:

    Benigne Juliussen, Iceland
    Keep Greenland green!

  109. Eddie says:

    As a follow up to my email, there are denier postings in what I gathered. Anthony, is there some place that I can post this for someone with some program ability to batch this out and sort it. Right now I just have a giant wall of text.

    Here is a sample. I extracted the common format of one listing. The second quoted section shows what multiple listings look like. Not sure what the number formatting is, looks like a date but maybe it’s the time in a format that got converted….?

    “Ursus maritimus My species is NOT threatened or endangered. Stop using us as propaganda. 7-12-2009 2 Canada”

    “Elizabeth Raine Please find a way to work together and fix this problem. 4-12-2009 4 Australia Leitner Ingrid All of us should be thinking about the climate change,what could we do now.So please make a plan to alleviate the effects. 2-12-2009 1 Austria NewMoon.com Thank you for your diligent work on this important topic! On behalf of children and the leaders of tomorrow, we thank you! 7-12-2009 2 United States of America Jim Vavra Just get on with it please! 6-12-2009 2 Canada ZHAN Wenjing please think about our children . do a great decision for them 5-12-2009 4 China”

  110. Rhys Jaggar says:

    My message: sustainability, sustainability, sustainability.

    1. Sustainable construction.
    2. Sustainable recycling.
    3. Sustainable forestry.
    4. Sustainable energy, including providing for the next 20 years.
    5. Sustainable access to clean water.

    If you focus on those five, with all upstream and downstream implications factored in, you’ll help to make the world a better place.

    If you obsess about carbon dioxide and millimetre rises in sea-level, you’ll help bring the world to its knees.

    Common sense, not mantras.

    Pragmatism, not religion.

    Action, not rhetoric.

    Open science, not monotheistic imitations of science.

    THANK YOU.

  111. Clive says:

    A Yamal remake methinks.

    – Collect data.
    – Eliminate the “data” (comments) that do not fit the AGW mantra.
    – Conclude 100 percent consensus in the “summary for policymakers and media.

    As others have noted, bet that if this “survey” goes anywhere, the media and politicians will only see the manipulated info and the “decline in support” will be hidden.

    Hide the “declining” comments. ☺ ☺

    hookers are free for delegates at the copenhagen conference- I guess theres no reason the hookers shouldnt get what we’re all going to get from the conference if things go the way they probably will

    The climate doesn’t need your help. Go home and use the holidays to improve your knowledge of climate science before you make a very big mistake.

  115. Madeleine says:

    Have a proper look, at the data on climatechange. You’ll find a reason there to stop scaring our children with your “end- of-the- world” predictions.

    Pack your bags now before it is too late and a tipping point is reached. Save us from the lunacy of the global warming scaremongerers and don’t agree to anything which means higher taxes.

  128. sceptical says:

    My message was:

    Please do not make any agreement to reduce carbon emissions. The time and money would be better spent on relieving poverty and disease.

    Well done, Mr Watts, for highlighting this.

  129. Methow Ken says:

    I posted:

    ”It’s a sad day when ”Climate Change” has become a code for reducing / controlling just about everything EXCEPT expansion of intrusive government.”

    FOOTNOTE: After earlier saying ”3 cheers for the CRU whistleblower, I now add:
    Three cheers for the Saudis @ COP15, who officially broached the ClimateGate scandal; and said ”hold on”. Stay tuned.

    There is no consensus and the science is certainly not settled.

    Please don’t do anything until climategate is resolved. You are rushing ahead with expensive plans that seem to be based on bad science.

  140. Don Little says:

    Mine:

    “I expel greenhouse gases in your general direction!”

  141. Aleksey Yashin says:

    I placed a message to effect ‘check the science first’. Then I noticed circularity in ‘view messages’. Then I sent them the following through CONTACTS page:
    On the website there is a way to send a message to COP15. Which I did. But on ‘view other messages’ there is no way to see them all, just about 20 running in cycle – and all in support. Isn’t it a deception? I did not expect such dishonest treatment of the public.

  142. Do the brave thing today, do nothing. History has never been nice, friendly or fair to people who sell other other people.

  143. cbullitt says:

    Enjoy the free hookers and caviar, and go home.. We won’t pay insane global taxes so you may do more of the same while we are forced into serfdom.

  149. Andy says:

    I think it’s pretty clear the elites intend to steamroll over the opposition at Copenhagen. I read an article a few months ago which said the proponents were concerned that they had lost the momentum in the climate change debate and this explained the increasingly dire predictions of cataclysmic climate change in the media. The elites are concerned that if they didn’t get what they want this year (a cap and trade system) then they never would. I’m sure the CRU emails increased their concern and they started up the steamroller.

    You can send all the messages to Copenhagen you want. It won’t make any difference. The elites usually get what they want and I’m turning my attention to figuring out a way to profit by it.

  150. Tom in Texas says:

    Of the hundreds I read, only a few skeptical ones made the cut:

    One day the World will wake up and realize what you have done. You will not be able to cover this up for ever. Global taxation is not the way forward

    To every single attendee : publish the carbon footprint of your attendance

    If you are serious about this FRAUD why is this not a teleconference? Oh yes, that would not allow the photo opportunities and the fancy dinners

    Enjoy Copenhagen. Then fly your private plane somewhere else where you can lecture us all on the effects of carbon consumption.

    I hope you realize climate change is all a big hoax and Copenhagen will just put a tax on the developed world all for a big, fat lie

    I am a 12 yr old boy and i am extremly worried about climate change, i would be so grateful if all of you use more renewable energy

    This endeavor started about a month ago (from the time stamps) and seems to include a lot of elementary school projects.

    Then there are this one:

    I’m afraid the non-good wishes emails will all be peer-reviewed and rejected. Even this is a scam – they will be able to say that the world “consensus” was overwelmingly supportive. It concerns me that Climategate is essentially being ignored or spun out of existence by these case hardened grifters – my hope that it would kill the Copenhagen conspiracy against America is faltering. The Nobel prize for Obama was in itself a shameful bribe and the “investigations” at UEA and Penn State will be whitewashes that will only encourage more emboldened climate larceny.

    [Thanks for the info on how to communicate, Anthony. Even if it will be deleted in Copenhagen, it is a satisfying feeling to be able to "throw the hammer at the screen or Big Brothers face", so to speak.]

  186. bob paglee says:

    I went to the COP site and read the comments “submitted.” They are a total sham, just like AGW. They are all in a closed loop of a couple dozen comments that are repeated over and over, every comment being supportive, every one is in English but purporting to come from many differerent countries around the world. Pure hogwash.

    Here’s what I sent as a waste of time:

    Why not consider a fix for the real culprits behind climate change (if there really is any need) — control the sun in space and the clouds on earth?

    Just seen the “drive 5 miles less a week” ad – in the middle of Tony Robinson’s programme (where, incidentally, there appears to have been a lot of warminh without contributions from 4 x4s and SUVs – I hope the programme doesn’t degenerate into an AGW message).

    So, I did a search through those first 1,000 entries. On “scam” I got bupkis. On “gate” (related to climate-gate, not delegate, :) ), I got two, and on fraud, one. On “CRU” or “tape”, there were none One thousand comments, and only three mentioning climate-gate. fraud, scam, CRU, or tape? Seems unlikely those key-words would be so sparse, unless we clear headed ones were simply slow off the mark.

  221. Reed Coray says:

    I sent: “COP15 attendees: When you find yourself in a hole, quit digging and GO HOME”

  222. Ligu says:

    Why the censorship of dissenting greetings? Are you afraid of honest discourse or is Prof. Jones of the CRU “peer reviewing” these messages?

  223. Eve says:

    I sent: Save the tree’s. Tree growth has increased 50% in response to the nominal increase in C02. The planet is trying very hard to return to normal. Please do not hinder her by lowering C02 emissions.

    But I had to take out a Save the tree’s and shorten other words to get under the 150 word limit.

  224. Steve says:

    @Eve, save the tree’s whats?

  225. Robert E. Phelan says:

    This is not a poll. They have invited messages to the delegates. I’m sure most of us have more than one message we’d like to send…

  226. Gary says:

    I sent the following

    The famous words of George Carlin “The planet is fine. The people are …” Trying to stop CO2 going from 0.0012% to 0.0013% of air will not alter it

  227. Jesper says:

    I bet out of those 6000 messages, 5980 didn’t make it through. They’re just rotating the remaining 20 ;)

  228. jaypan says:

    Have found this nice piece, must be an expat from North Korea:
    “I am humbled and exceedingly honoured to text to you.
    I appreciate all the plans of you ,our leaders,to make the world a better place to live in.”
    Looks like a sort of template we all should use …

  229. Jack McLeod says:

    Here is what I wrote:

    Science first IPCC, otherwise stop talking because you are emitting CO2

    They replied the words were not correct. What did I do wrong?

  230. Tom says:

    The planet’s increasing albedo and trapped CO2 go hand in hand. Higher albedo means cooling and trapped CO2 means heating – which of these two is dominating now and what is the prognosis?

  231. Jeef says:

    I sent the following:
    If you have a shred of common sense, do nothing and go home. There is no man made crisis to fix.

    Nobody will read it in Copenhagen, I’m certain.

  232. durox says:

    the food’s price has doubled, we have new taxes, co2 emissions are still high, the climate got colder. stop this masquerade, we didn’t vote for this.

  233. Jenny says:

    COP15 is a joke. AGW is a fraud. Free the data!

  234. Skeptic says:

    Message to Copenhagen:
    Greetings delegates. Do nothing. The corrupt data from the CRU underpins the UN IPCC decisions.

    This message will, I’m sure, trigger the automatic delete function.

  235. Paul Alton says:

    Save the World! Go home now before you commit to drastic measures to solve a non-problem.

  236. Joey says:

    Thank god this is a testable hypothesis. No excuse or qualificaiton will be able to prevent your shame and condemnation forever. Doomed zealot leming

  237. Peter says:

    I’m filing a FOI request to see how you adjust, hide and delete messages.

    and

    Please stay in Copenhagen forever – enjoy the limos and prostitutes! We don’t want you back, ever!

  238. Adrian Wingfield says:

    My message:

    ‘Think very, very hard: scientific opportunism does not make for good policy’

    I chose the deer stamp. Don’t they realise they are ruminants, belching and farting all those nasty gasses!

  239. Christoph says:

    Stop trying to calm the weather gods like our ignorant ancestors did. Don’t protect the climate, it’s always changing. Protect democracy instead.

    But can you imagine this:

    “The Climate Greetings will be shown on large screens throughout COP15 as well as at various other venues in Denmark and around the world.” We had this sort of political propaganda here in Germany from 1939 – 1945, and again, this time in East Germany only, from 1945 – 1989. And now they’re at it again.

  240. LiamIAm says:

    Jack McLeod (15:54:16) :
    . . .
    “They replied the words were not correct. What did I do wrong?”

    Jack,
    Sounds like it’s referring to the ‘capcha’ security words that must be typed in to post displayed above the line ‘Enter the words above:’

  241. jmbnf says:

    My addition: “Since the Earth’s climate is dominated by a positive feedback of H2O and CO2 lets build a greenhouse over the ocean and create perpetual energy”

  242. CO2 is beneficent and supports my income as herbs and vegetables grower. Photosynthesis transforms CO2 in glucose basis of all plant origin products.

  243. David L. Hagen says:

    Care for poor before Gore. Children first climate last. Require Copenhagen Consensus WHO Benefit/Cost. Open audit validate and restore IPCC integrity.

  244. First, DO NO HARM!

    Second, GO HOME, MORONS!

  245. Maureen says:

    In Regina Sask it is -29 and I sit with my furnace cranked up high to keep warm. I sincerely hope your efforts result in complete failure.

  246. Ted Cooper says:

    To the UN

    The day I see Al Gore or David Suzuki tilling their subsistence plots with crooked sticks, hauling water by hand, no electricity, no heating, a burlap sack over their back and a coolie hat to protect them from the elements, then and only then will you have my full and undivided attention.

    I had to cut it down to 150 words

  247. Brian Baldo says:

    I sent:
    Don’t fall for the biggest scientific fraud of all time. Don’t wreck economies. C02 is not a pollutant. DO NOTHING and go home.

  248. Phil G. says:

    Looking at the entire list of comments with this url:

    http://en.cop15.dk/greetings/view/list?method=get&count=100000

    I found the following message, which I edited to remove the profanity:

    James Smith Glad to see you all care so much about the “climate” to come in a ****load of petrol-guzzling limos and jet planes. Ever heard of “carpool”? Twats. 7-12-2009 1 United Kingdom

  249. Eve says:

    Luckily I had to remove save the trees. I did not notice the punctuation mistake.

  250. TEXinDFW says:

    Sent my message: “Keep all that CO2 plant food out of the air by drinking it up in your beer and champagne. Walk home to your country afterwards and save the planet. “

  251. dipole says:

    So this is what the science has come to. A new version of the Nuremberg Rally.

  252. Kate says:

    I wrote that I hoped they’d meet their deserved reward in a fiery multi-limousine pile-up, but that’s probably just me.

  253. Rosemary Meling says:

    Let us see if this subtle comment gets by:

    “May the Creator open your eyes fully to Truth; may you have courage to stand for Truth. Will those who deceive their own people not also deceive you?”

  254. Smokey says:

    Pre-ordained result of the Copenhagen conference: click

  255. Rosemary Meling says:

    I think they may actually generate them randomly. The ones I saw included some negatives. Here’s what they say for the journalists:

    “Climate Greetings as RSS
    Climate Greetings can be fetched as an RSS feed, for example for use by media or similar. 20 greetings are provided every 15 minutes, and these greetings are selected randomly from all greetings submitted.”

  256. Rosemary Meling says:

    Re: Denbow WOW account comment

    OH, I WISH! My sons and I would SO pwn them. They’d have to get their own server.

  257. Richard Whitney says:

    Your climate meeting is a fraud. Please cease and desist this politicization of science.

  258. Lesley says:

    I sent this.

    You have been duped by the biggest ever hoax. Your will be remembered in infamy.

  259. Bulldust says:

    Just went Matrix viral style:

    “What is ClimateGate?”

    and left it at that.

  260. Concerned earthling says:

    Stop this fraud… Climate change is as old as the Earth itself. If man is causing the current modest warm we are enjoying, what caused the warming in the Medieval Period, or the Holocene warm period? Both much warmer than today.

    This is a disgraceful waste of public money and in the no too distant future the world will come to realise this.

    I’ll bet this posting never makes it to the public postings page.

  261. Allan Gay says:

    I sent this:

    Give it up. You’ve been rumbled.

  262. E.M.Smith says:

    The PDO has flipped, cold has returned, UEA has flopped, please “do” the sites – not more. There is no Global Warming, the books are all that’s cookd

  263. coaldust says:

    I sent:
    If this summit were held during the Medieval Warm Period, today’s weather would be more pleasant.

  264. Craig Batten says:

    “As the world inevitably cools, you won’t fool the people any longer. They will hold you accountable for your needless illogical actions and burdens.”

    ~ Somehow, I don’t think it will make it past the editors (censors).

  265. loki says:

    The people now know about this scientific fraud of the century. Freedom loving people everywhere will fight your unelected world government.

    It’s damn hard to shoehorn my rage and disgust over this issue into 150 characters or less. Australia was the first government to go down over this issue but will by no means be the last.

  266. Mathew Wallis says:

    “It is now proven that scientists have been falsifying the data. Manmade climate change is now completely in doubt. Another tax is not the solution.”

  267. Syl says:

    Connection interrupted. It sent, but the site’s return to me did not come. Don’t know if errored or not.

    anyway, here’s my message:

    I have bound my feet and now my carbon footprint is smaller. How much will you pay me? Thank you.

  268. Norm in Calgary says:

    Here’s what I sent. I wonder if the people of the world will get to see it.

    Be afraid, be very afraid for the EPA will be taken to court by 50,000,000 people in a class action suit to prevent CO2 being declared a pollutant!

  269. Syl says:

    I tried again and realized I had left off my name, so I’m sure the first did not go through. Sent the same message and it was accepted.

  270. Christian S says:

    “You carry our futures with you. I urge you not to tax us without doing further rigorous work on climate science. It is not just about carbon dioxide.”

  271. Dr Thomas Dine says:

    Dear ‘Leaders of the world’ (I thought they were our elected representatives???)

    “Stop wasting inordinate amounts of tax payers money on a non-problem, go home and tackle real issues that matter. No to global governance!!!”

  272. Chris Wright says:

    My message:

    CO2 is the life blood of all plants, and it has little effect on the climate. Your delusion of ‘saving the planet’ is the real threat to mankind.

    Chris

  273. Patrick Davis says:

    Well I posted…

    “Fools. In your opening video wank-fest, you show a little girl watching a TV broadcast which shows an African child crying. LiveAid 1980s get it right”

    Utter morons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  274. John Bowman says:

    King Canute says, “Stop fooling yourselves.”

  275. bradley13 says:

    Funny. I sent a greeting, and then wanted to view some of the 7800 that are supposedly there. It just cycles through about 12 different ones.

  276. Tony Dane says:

    “Stop embarrassing yourselves.”

  277. Tony Dane says:

    The COP-15 site says there are 7698 messages. It is only possible to view 20 of these messages. Does this mean they only got 20 messages of support and the rest are negative. That’s 0.26%, including one from a 3 year old girl. Hmm, maybe its just a moderation delay.

  278. Doug Williams says:

    Take no notice of the sceptics, keep on filling your boots and running the gas guzzling sedans. You should not worry, there are enough idiots like Gordon Brown to back you up.

  279. Ecotretas says:

    Looking at the count
    http://en.cop15.dk/greetings/view/list?method=get&count=10000
    moments ago, only 34.29% effectively greet the delegates.
    The rest are censured!
    Ecotretas

  280. James Justice says:

    I sent this message:

    How can you be so stupid as to fall for this transparent fraud. The climate is ALWAYS changing and it ALWAYS will. Stop lying to yourselves.

  281. M12 says:

    Mine went something like:

    Dear Great Leaders,
    Stop messing with this anti-CO2 claptrap.In order to develop alternatives to fossil fuels we’ll need to use every resource available – coal, oil etc.

  282. Steve Fox says:

    I put:
    The word for what you are doing is shenanigans. Please go home and stop wasting other peoples money.

    Won’t do any good though. Sorry with the negative vibes, man (watched Kelly’s Heroes AGAIN last night)

  283. James Justice says:

    Ecotretas (06:16:39)

    Yes that’s right, no sign of my comment, or ANY critical comments
    that you lot has put in. I did a word search and couldn’t find anything.

    I also added the list to 100000 to see if I got any more comments,
    and still virtually no critical comments turned up. Probably they
    are trying to massage the ego of the delegates, and don’t want
    them to see the critical comments of the many “skeptics”.

    Can’t the blogmeisters see that they are repeating what Phil Jones
    and the rest of them had done at East Anglia University ? This
    kind of proves a point doesn’t it ? that they are willing to censor
    the truth when it disagrees with their fantasy notions.

  284. Theo says:

    Just retrieved another dump from the “list” URL. Compared it with yesterday’s fixed dump. They bumped the number of messages released to 2800. I performed a diff against yesterday’s dump. About 32 new skeptical comments, not counting the “go veggie” ones. Of those, I think about 16 were from this comment section. Obviously, a huge amount of filtering of the ones posted here.

    I think we need to press the editorial board to release more. Trumpeting selective censorship would be a start. Andrew Bolt? George Will? Stossel? O’Reilly?

  285. Hangtime55 says:

    To Whom It May Concern ,

    What I want for Christmas is that the COP15 summit would recognize that

    ALL scientists and their data within the Man-Made Global Warming/ Natural Climate Change community be reviewed Before making a decision on whether or not there is a CLEAR consensus on the Global Enviorment .
    Research and Data materials were obtained from the University of East Anglia’s Hadley Climate Research Unit in Norwich , UK . three weeks ago that makes it quite Clear that temperture change data from around the world was manipulated , falsified or destroyed by a very few scientists within and outside the CRU to sway a one sided opinion on the current issues of Anthropological Global Warming . I would think that a meeting of this importance would realize that a majority concensus of scientists around the world is required and while the IPCC is firm on their side of the AGW , their information may be based on the CRU’s conclusion.

    I had also emailed my concerns on this issue to Mr. Al Gore , but I understand that Mr.Gore isn’t attending the meeting either due to unforeseen changes in his schedule or the great annoyance that are the University of East Anglia’s Hadley Climate Research Unit data and materials .

    Thank You

  286. Theo says:

    Oh, and BTW, at least 30% of the new ones from UK & US are skeptical. If you remove the elementary school postings, it’s greater than 50%

  287. IdahoWayne says:

    Please do no harm! Enjoy your conference, renew friendships, enjoy the good food and storytelling. Then go home and leave us alone!

  288. James McClellan says:

    “Instead of paying people to be poor, why not help them to be rich? Good governance is the problem, not human greenhouse gas emissions. Happy Christmas”

    Do I get a prize for having exactly 150 characters????

  289. Killer says:

    Hello from Calgary, Canada – enjoying -30C weather tonight – car is plugged in, furnace cranked up, face is falling off with the cold – am so glad that it is warming in Europe – could it be the Bermuda Warming Current which I learned about in first year geography at University – back in the dark ages of the 70′s which were also F***ing cold!

  290. Ken says:

    “Climate change is mostly driven by natural forces. What little we add can be reduced through innovation, not oppressive taxes under world government.”

    It’s hard to fit any of the things I wanted to say into a mere 150 characters.

  291. Dr Michael Miller says:

    I wrote “I would be most grateful if anyone at this conference can show me the unequivocal, scientific evidence that CO2 is responsible for global warming.”

    ..but I’m not holding my breath( although given the way carbon dioxide is being demonised I may soon have to!)

  292. Mark says:

    I beg you – no economic suicide. Do nothing as soon as possible, and return to your home countries and spend more money on malaria research.

  293. Bruce Cobb says:

    Apparently they don’t get sarcasm. Amidst all the continually recycled mindless “save the planet” pablum is this missive: “O Vanguard of the Climatariati, smite the denialists and lead the masses. O forward-looking shepherds of a mindless flock, go forth and cool the earth!”
    I made my comment successfully, but forgot to copy it. Something like: “what you are doing is wrong, and will only cause great harm. Climate science is corrupt. Just go home.” They are obviously only interested in cheering the troops on, so will not post anything negative. No surprise, as they have no moral scruples whatsoever, and not an honest nanoparticle in their entire bodies.

  294. Frans Franken says:

    My message submitted:
    For humanity’s sake, please let temperature rise 0.5 C and increase global food production by 30 per cent. How? Make sure CO2 doubles – DO NOTHING.

  295. Annirich says:

    This brings back memories: “Oil-for-Food”. Remember that? Maruice Strong. Remember him? He was Gore’s partner in the current Generation Investment Management LLC. Research that.

  296. Mindles says:

    Please do not re-impoverish billions of people and halt the economic development that cleans the environment and curbs population growth. Do nothing.

  297. Theo says:

    It appears that they are selectively censoring. Of the supposed 9590 greetings posted so far, only 3853 are available for download. Does that mean that >60% of the greetings are against the whole concept of AGW/COP15/CRU/IPCC? Very few of the messages posted here have made it into their list feed.

  298. PBlest says:

    Al Gore is really Cobra Commander!! He is using the Weather Dominator to wreak havoc on the world’s climate to gain global domination! Can G.I. Joe stop him???

    PS> Barbara Boxer is actually Baronness (She HAS NOT aged well..)
