It’s getting ugly over there, from protesters being arrested by the hundreds, to journalists having their microphones being shut off when asking “inconvenient questions, protesters denying free speech when skeptic Lord Monckton holds a press conference, to hunger strike wizened vacuous talking eco-skeletons.
Cophagen, is now the vortex of climate weirdness. Glad I’m not there.
First up Steven Schneider’s “helpers” release the hounds on a journalist when he asks questions Schneider doesn’t like.
Journalist Phelim McAleer (‘Mine Your Own Business’, ‘Not Evil Just Wrong’) asks Prof Stephen Schneider from Stanford University an Inconvenient Question about ‘Climategate’ emails. McAleer is interrupted twice by Prof Schneider’s assistant and UN staff and then told to stop filming by an armed UN security guard.
Next free speech is assailed. US Youth delegates to the Copenhagen Climate Negotiations crash climate skeptic live webcast in Copenhagen and are called “hitler youth” by Lord Christopher Monckton at an Americans for Prosperity event.
The few, the proud, the starved (and not thinking clearly) Climate Justice Fast.
Tens of thousands of protesters marched in Copenhagen and at least 600 were detained Saturday as climate talks hit a snag over rich nations’ demands on China and other emerging economies

This is what democracy is all about: freedom to think like the majority or else…
From that last video… it certainly looks cold over there. Where is the warming? What’s next? Immolation with bio-fuel as to not increase the fossil based CO2?
The obvious conclusion…tyranical, greedy and cruel governments in third world countries have, for decades, oppressed their populations and stolen the land’s wealth….now of course, because the developed world has prospered….has heat and electricity we have to compensate them.
Perfectly sensible in Copenhagen I suppose.
That was much more like Hong Wei Bing, not Hitlerjugend.
The whole mess gets more and more like Cultural Revolution. 🙁
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. – Hunter S. Thompson
It is more than pathetic when people who call themselves Americans try and stifle free speech. I don’t a;ways agree with his Viscountship, but in this case he is right: the parallels with the thirties are unnerving. Once more, idealistic youth have been conned into serving as tools for cynical elites that stand to reap billions.
Fact: in 1970 only 9% of all Americans had a college degree and about 60% had a high school diploma. Today, more than 90% if Americans have that high school diploma and 25% have a college degree. In 1970 those college degrees were predominantly Liberal Arts degrees. The degrees awarded by the Ivy League are still predominantly Liberal Arts. Everyone else isgetting a degree oriented toward a profession…. what we call “credentialism”…. in the 70’s those degrees got us jobs where we could be creative, exercise discretion. Today, a college degree gets you entree into a world of somewhat higher remuneration but extensive regulation. Today, the proletariat needs a college degree. Most college degrees today simply qualify a person to be a proletarian. Marx would have wept.
At least those fasting are diminishing their potential carbon footprint. Eat nothing, low metabolism, less C taken in to eventually exhale as CO2.
It is sad though. The alarmists are showing their inability for rational discussion; perhaps because they and their cause are irrational to the core.
I’m quite sure more than 600 people are starting to feel outraged by this unsettled science getting rammed down their throats.
I think the skeptical crowd could become quite overshadow.
Those fasting protesters sure look like they could use a nice greasy cheeseburger. Just think, years from now they will undoubtedly look back and deny to their children that they would endure fasting for 33 days for a cause that turned out to be nothing more than hot air.
Imagine that: The fearmongers afraid of answering questions, resort to repression and intimidation.
Just a blizzard of wackiness!
If I was in Copenhagen, I’d be handing out hamburgers and pizza slices in front of the Climate justice Fasters…
Update on non-warming in Copenhagen: As emergency AGW conference continues, it is perhaps ironic to calmly study some weather information readily available on the internet. I apologize that the figures are not absolutely precise because they are taken from graphs at weatheronline.co.uk. Anyone can check my calculations, which took about 20 minutes and were not taxpayer funded.
In the last 28 years (as far as the online records go back), the highest December temperature in Copenhagen was 11 degrees C and that was back in 1983. Over these years, the average highest December temperature was around 7 C. Please note, I am using the highs, to put the strongest possible case for the warmists. (If I were using UN scientist techniques, I would probably be using the lows to distort the case in favour of my own position, or apply a downwards inverted hockey stick adjustment).
Day 1: a high of 7 C, exactly the same as the average high of the last 28 years and 4 degrees COOLER than the high of the last 28 years.
Day 2: a high of 7 C, the same.
Day 3: a high of 6 C, 5 degrees COOLER than the December high of the last 28 years.
Day 4: a high of 6 C
Day 5: a high of 5 C, 6 degrees COOLER than the December high of the last 28 years.
Day 6: a high of 5 C
Can someone please point this out to the Met, the BBC and all the eminent and learned delegates? I now understand that Robert Mugabe will be lecturing on the subject at Copenhagen, to enlighten us all…….
One of the costs of affluent civilization is the burden of sillivization, with old and bitter twenty-something protesters demanding that someone do something to fix anything that enters their momentary flashes of semi-conscious awareness.
I am watching the police assault on the protesters in Copenhagen. Nasty.
I note that the protesters are well wrapped up. Can’t be very warm there.
Always wondered how Hitler did it and what it looked like to have the Brown Shirts break up a party. Now I have seen it first hand.
This new article is reported everywhere. Google “Science not faked, but not pretty” and the blinding results will show up.

Just looked at the weather predictions for Copenhagen, snowing and -6 C by Weds. UHI effect not a lot of use then, ‘eh. 😉
Why not organize a global petition to demand real transparency of data and calculations on the climate?

A clear indication that we may have won a battle or two, but the war is far from over (figuratively speaking). I hope this does not have to descend into madness. Anyone who lives in a cold climate will tell you that it is much harder to prepare for cold than it is warmth. I am not clear on what the protesters are looking for. What type of society are they talking about? Gilligan’s island? Flintsones? I know my Canadian history and the hardships the settlers endured. High infant mortality, illness, broken bones ( to name a few) were just some of lifes little pleasures. It was no wonder life-spans were 40 years. Will the affluent have all the energy? Any greenpeace personnel reading this ? Please post and help clear this up for me. I have spent a great deal of my life out doors and love every minute of it. Winter camping is spectacular beyond words. But it would certainly be difficult to live out your foreshortened life that way. Maybe I’m way off base, but, ….
That Climate Justice Fast vid was just unflippingbelievable! A more appropriate title for their effort would the Self Righteous Stupidity Fast. Going off my recollection from the IRA hunger strikers back in the day, it should only take about another month of conscientious effort on their fast for them to successfully reduce their carbon footprint to zero. It would be nice to imagine, that those standing and applauding at the end were family and friends and not the assembled journalists, but that’s probably the worst kind of wishful thinking.
Thugocracy in action.
The biggest nut house in the world is not the right description of what’s going on here.
I reject the behavior of the “rabarber’ crowd who suppress the free word.
I especially reject the the behavior of the monkey puppet that threatend the journalist and the people that ordered him to act (all planned IPCC policies)
This is foul play at work.
This is the United Nations at work.
You can imagine what will happen if this bunch of low life’s acquire “real” political power.
Don’t forget the Club of Rome triggered this.
We are fighting our own Governments.
This is an incredible situation to find ourselves in twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Don’t let this intimidate you. The majority of the people don’t want this.
ClimateGate won’t go over and the this winter will be harsh.
AGW is as dead as can be. There are no arguments, only lies.
We are going to deal with this.
