Eric Worrall writes: The imminent climate summit in New York is rapidly turning into an utter embarrassment for President Obama and UN Secretary General Bank Ki-Moon, in addition to becoming a bit of a punishment round for national deputy leaders.
Aussie PM Tony Abbott today defended his decision not to hop on an earlier flight to America, so he could attend the UN climate conference in New York, because he has more important matters to attend to, such as running the country.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have also indicated they likely won’t attend the summit.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has indicated he will not be attending. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/canada-politics/stephen-harper-to-skip-un-climate-summit-183946998.html
Even Angela Merkel, President of über green Germany, will not be attending the UN climate summit. http://notrickszone.com/2014/05/26/merkel-snubs-new-york-ban-ki-moon-climate-conference-burying-the-global-climate-agreement/
Of course, things would probably have been totally different, if the summit organisers had guaranteed that attendees would definitely not have to sit through any more boring climate presentations by former Vice President Al Gore.

not surprising Angel Merkel is not attending with this happening on your doorstep.

The economic crisis (i.e. a lack of jobs and a lack of money to spend on health care, education, roads, defense, and so on.) is not over. In a time of economic crisis it will be impossible for politicians to push Climate change policies which are obviously mutual assured economic destruction.
The climate change policies will and have wasted trillions of dollars on green scams which have resulted and will result in almost no significant reduce in CO2 emissions to solve a problem which is not a problem.
P.S. The public is not going to support sending billions of dollars to corrupt developing countries.
The only people who have benefited from the climate change scams are the US, UN and EU climate change bureaucracy, the green scam providers, and the climate ‘change’ scientists.
How long will the warmists keep up this charade? What is their back up plan? The planet has started to cool based on record sea ice in the Antarctic and the rapid recovery of sea in the Arctic.
http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/IMAGES/seaice.anomaly.antarctic.png
There is a physical reason for the sudden high latitude cooling. Cosmic ray flux/galactic cosmic rays (CRF/GCR) (mostly high speed protons that create ions in the atmosphere which cause clouds to form and affect cloud properties is the highest ever recorded for a solar ‘maximum”. More CRF/GRC more high latitude clouds, colder planet. The planet has and will cool.

When you tell enough lies, you get like the boy who called wolf. Nobody believes anything you say.
Hey, that Southern Hemisphere Sea Ice Anomaly graph looks a lot like a… ummm…. A HOCKEY STICK!!!
Part of their backup plan is to lie about temperatures by homogenizing data. May, June , August are the hottest May,June and August ever they claim, and 1/2 year data has been readjusted by a few hundredths of a degree to make it look warmer as well so NASA can proclaim 2014 the hottest year ever while the sea ice and glaciers grow.
Realistically the only way to reduce carbon dioxide, supposedly to reduce global warming, is to no burn fossil fuels. By staying home each “leader” is preventing many tons of CO2 from spewing into the air. If they care about GW they will stay home.
The best way to reduce CO2 is to grow more plants, Plants take in CO2 and give off O2. By the way O2 is what man breathem to stay alive. If we reduced CO2 to zero, all life on earth would expire.
Apparently the record sea ice is also caused by… global warming.

The best way to reduce CO2 is to grow more plants—–
And the best way to grow more plants is to increase CO2. This is beginning to feel like an Escher drawing.

“P.S. The public is not going to support sending billions of dollars to corrupt developing countries. ” – > can you even imagine the graft and corruption that the proposed 1% UN “Green Tax” will create? And the citizens of those countries will actually end up being worse off.
Probably snowed in – most of them.
Maybe the other nations heard that Michelle Obama was arranging the food.
@Russ
Glad I followed rule 1. from iambic before I read your post!
William Astley,
Yes. The Antarctic is gaining lots of ice, and global ice cover is right at it’s 30-year average. Therefore, CO2 cannot be the cause of any significant [ie: measurable] “global warming”. CO2 simply does not cause any measurable global warming.
In fact, global warming stopped in the 1990’s. But the eco-lobby is still flogging that dead horse.
Over the past century and a half, the trace gas CO2 [“carbon”] has risen from 3 parts in 10,000, to only 4 parts in 10,000. That is a verified empirical observation.
Based on that small, harmless rise, President Obama proposes that we must endure skyrocketing utility bills, and drastically reduce our standard of living. All based on Obama’s scientific illiteracy.
We are burdened with a President who listens to eco-lunatics, but who disregards honest scientists.
Let’s not forget the reason for the panic now being displayed by the Marxists. They want that global carbon tax! They realize we’re in for another brutal winter. The thickening ice caps at both poles guarantee it. They also realize their dreams of scarooing us with a carbon tax will be doomed before next spring.
Wrong. He does not “listen”, he utilizes. He is not persuaded, he is deceiving. His climate concerns are irrelevant except in maintaining cover for his Global Governance agenda.
Kinda like Moochelles lunch program! DOA!
The gig is up on these incompetent frauds currently living in our WH!
Hmm. With the recent tweaks to the GISS data…
http://bobtisdale.wordpress.com/2014/09/15/giss-tweaks-the-short-term-global-temperature-trend-upwards/
And with Gavin claiming record August temps, when they weren’t records…
http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2014/09/16/august-2014-is-no-longer-the-hottest-on-record/
…some people might think there’s some publicity-seeking going on. Some people.
Not surprising, considering where he works and what their goal is…
“Publicity seeking” is a nice way of putting it. It could qualify as fabrication. Just in time for the electioneering this fall.
So much for saving the planet, when so much of the planet doesn’t bother to show …
Maybe it’s just too late. Maybe it’s worse than we thought.
No, it can’t be too late. If it were, then there would be no need for all the paraphernalia of the climate change industry – windfarms, carbon tax, emission permits, climate models, hockey sticks, etc, etc, etc …..
But we can’t have plenty of time either, for the same reason. So, it has to be …. just about enough time to “do something”.
As chance would have it, right on cue, we have in today’s Grauniad the following article, with the headline “Climate change report by Lord Stern shows there’s still time – just”.
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/sep/16/climate-change-report-lord-stern-carbon-emissions
Yeah, right. That may well be the next tactic, but it is getting harder to sell when it is getting colder every year.
CODETECH….and maybe….just maybe….you had it wrong all the time. I know that will be a very bitter pill for many to swallow, so they will postpone it as long as possible. However, at this point, there is almost ZERO evidence to support the Global Warming (aka Climate Change) theories. Man up, admit you were fooled and join the rest of us “Deniers”…. The longer you stand over there in the Chicken Little Camp, the sillier you will look when you finally face the facts.
The fat lady ain’t singing, but, she’s clearing her throat.
I love sarcasm!
Maybe you are just all wrong and there is no climate change aka. “Global Warming”.
It is always ALMOST too late. There is always JUST enough time to save the world. In 2009 the timeframe was 50 days, according to the Britsish Prime Minister. Today, “almost too late” is as flexible as a fisherman’s yardstick.
And it is ALWAYS worse than we thought. Just not quite bad enough to assure immediate or short-term climate disaster. It must be so. When the climate moves in the direction of what is predicted, the catastrophe-cries have a field day. Same thing when the climate DOESN’T move as they have claimed, just a blit more shrill in tone; now budgets are at stake, soemthing far more important than saving the planet.
[FTA]: “…because he has more important matters to attend to, such as running the country.”
What a novel idea.
My sincere prayer is that you are the first to DIE of climate change. Just so you can howl SE I TOLD YOU SO from the grave, at the rest of us still-alive naysayers…idiot.
Wow….really? You want people who disagree with you to die? And you think conservatives and deniers have no reason to fear a liberal take over? I guess I’m not that worried….While its true you have more politicians, it’s also true that we conservatives and deniers are the ones who also support the Second Amendment, serve in the military, hunt, fish and serve as police officers. Your take over will be short-lived.
Maybe it isn’t. Which is more likely ?
“Maybe it’s just too late. Maybe it’s worse than we thought.”
IT IS NEVER TO LATE FOR A NEW DOOMSDAY PREDICTION, AFTER THE LAST ONE FAILED.
That’s it! Best line tonight!
So rderrick wishes (sincerely) that you are the first to die from Gerbil Worming.
Headline reads, ” Warmist admits no one has ever died as a result of AGW – contradicts ‘extreme weather’ pseudoscience.”
Gerbil Worming? LOL – I like that!
Leon…you assume the planet was actually at risk! Now that ACTUAL temperature readings have replaced temperature MODELS, we are finding that, in fact, the earth isn’t warming as warned. The polar ice caps have returned to normal levels (the antarctic ice cap has reached a record coverage area). The US has experienced more record cold temperatures than at any time in the last 50 years. I am genuinely sorry if you bought into all of Al Gore’s Chicken Little nonsense. You know how to tell when a politician is lying….it happens every time he or she speaks!
Careful now…
Will Wheeler I think you mis quoted the lying thing. It goes like this, you know when they are lying, their lips are moving. Just educating otherwise right on.
LMAO, U funny
ROFLMAO!
That’s because global warming has been a hoax from the beginning!
“saving the planet” from WHAT? the planet will go on doing what is has been doing, and will do, whether mankind exists or has self-anhialated. The question is not whether the climate is changing. It is, whether it is anthropogenic. And the answer is , yes is is in localized areas such as Bejing – and NO it isn’t, across 99% of the land/sea area and volume of this planet.
Hence, there is nothing to talk about in NY summits. The “global warming” scam is over. The data does not support. The “scientists” are really politicians, who cooked the books, in order to create a crisis they could use to institute more taxes and revenue sources.
What is clear though, is that this green pagan religion is causing our economy to crash and keep on crashing, globally. Maybe, just maybe, THAT is the real reason the other leaders will not participate. Maybe they want to put their people back to work, unlike Obama, who continually establishes “new normals” of underemployment, small business failures, and smaller middle class.
agenda 21
EVERYONE is TIRED zzzzzz of hearing his B U L L S H I T !!!
That cant predict accurately a hurricane season but these frauds are going to tell you the weather in 50-100 years… laughable…lets not confuse the data with facts..
To leon. keep on drinkin your LEMONAIDS!!!!
Get a life and pay attention to the radical brainwashed idiot with a vest full of C4 strapped to his chest knocking on your front door! Its like worrying about your great grandchilds college eduction funding while your hair is on fire!
Love that analogy!
If they could only just throw more money, at a fake problem and make it all better.
Imagine being a “Planet Saver”.
What a great [feeling]. To be SO superior and righteous. The best of the do-gooders. WOW! What a feeling.
[Or should that have been more properly spelled “failing” ? 8<) .mod]
To just pick up litter or recycle, fooey! I’m a Planet Saver. Captain Planet’s the name.
http://climaterealityproject.org/24-hours-reality
the 24 hr. climate scare is today..might be worth the watch
No doubt there will be thousands of bots watching for a few seconds at a time.
David…. Leonardo DiCaprio’s ability to generate Twitter hits does not amount to truth. Atmospheric carbon accounts 0.038% of our atmosphere. The sun’s core burns at 25 million degrees Fahrenheit. Which do you suppose has the greater ability to change our temperature? Politicians will fabricate a crisis where none exists if they think it will grant them greater influence over your life, your family and your choices. Most people don’t think that way, and as a result, can’t believe that anyone else would think that way.
Well said WW!
Yes CO2 is Global Science’s Homeopathy.
The same thing is happening with the US’ effort to confront ISIS. Because of insane political posturing, the US has told the enemy what it won’t do and no other country is willing to do more even though it is expected of them!
Talk about leading from behind.
It’s becoming an embarrassment–our president is more willing to battle a non-existent climate foe than to properly confront a growing, head-lopping terrorist army.
Obama reserves all his energy for his true enemies, the Tea Party.
No, his TRUE enemy is the 9th green at Rolling Hills Golf Club. The Tea Party is a straw man he hauls out when he wants to look tough. He can rhetorically beat them up without having to worry about getting his head cut off. I am willing to bet the MSM will still try to paint this summit as a great success and feature the handful of McKibben protesters as a huge crowd.
Exactly, It is rather pathetic to have a President who has squandered so much time suppressing his fellow Americans. He emblodens our enemies abroad and misrepresents his fellow Americans at home. And his take on science is infantile and reactionary.
and his 9 iron
It’s going to be a lonely last 2 1/2 yrs.
I thought it was for golfing!
Is ‘leading from behind’ the same as leading with one’s ass?
Well, we certainly are doing that.
No, it’s the same as leading out of one’s ass.
Leading from behind is like getting [cut it out!] in the front
In our case, we are being led BY a behind. A horse’s behind.
No, it means the ass is leading.
Well, we are certainly leading with our biggest ass.
Global warming doesn’t shoot at you or bomb your planes/cities. Fighting global warming is just one feel-good event after another.
Yes, we are going to save the climate by unplugging our AC adapters when not in use. Meanwhile China and India are putting literally hundreds of coal-fired plants online in the next few years, negating anything we are being taxed or hassled into doing to ‘save the planet’.
The next Icelandic volcano to blow will likely spew out more “greenhouse gases” than all of mankind has for all time. Pinatubo (Phillippines, 1990-something) did exactly that in a year’s time.
Obama was always an embarrassment.
Why anyone thought this guy could lead the world’s largest economy, military and political power when his only claim to fame is reading other peoples words off a tel-prompter is beyond me.
Global Warming is the least of the world’s problems. What happens when the US goes off the world stage is the issue. Limp dick Europeans going to pick up the slack? Not a chance.
Interesting times ahead.
What do you mean becoming an embarrassment. It has been for almost six years or had you not noticed.
Well put RR!
Off topic a bit, but now Obama is sending more American troops to ‘fight ebola in Africa’ than he is sending to fight ISIS.
When did our military become a giant disease control institution?
Swohio, thank you. WTF are we sending troop to Africa to fight Ebola for!!??? This guy was friends with Bill Ares. Based just upon that, how in the F K did anyone in this country vote for him. That blows me away. China is getting stronger and we are getting weaker. Yes, he’s right on one thing- it’s f’en time for change. He’s a pussy and not fit for the job and neither Is his cabinet. Hey America wake the F up!!! We need a f’en tough F in office. The world is a bad place with very bad people and the one with the biggest stick wins. When are we going to get it! When!!!!!!!!!
No, he’s an atheist. You can see the clenched teeth any time he is forced to talk about religious matters or put in a click-bait “God” reference into one of his teleprompter-reading events.
Hopefully this is Disdale. I’ve seen grown men rips their heads off, rather than speak to Doug.
May he be as successful in his climate conference, as he was in securing the Olympics.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-16/eu-climate-chief-surprised-by-australia27s-un-summit-snub/5745908 says in part:
Let me hazard a guess… those who have something to gain from “climate panic” are lined up in droves. Those who see their countries are going to be stuck with the bills are calling ahead to cancel…
Does that sound about right?
Yes.
On the nose. I see even Zimbabwe is asking for $10bn to save herself from climate change.
“I see even Zimbabwe is asking for $10bn to save herself from climate change.”
Gee, do you think that might bias the temperature statistics it sends in?
Well they have some seriously big brains working on capturing that cash . . .
http://www.herald.co.zw/zim-climate-change-mitigation-to-cost-10bn/
Zimbabwe needs $10b??? Oh my word….can you imagine how many corrupt dictators and bureaucrats will line their pockets with that money. The folks in Zimbabwe have to be laughing their asses off….all the way to the buffet line. How much longer are we going to tolerate this clown?
Bingo!
Keitho, I actually left a comment on that Zimbabwe article – it went right into moderation. To my surprise, it was then approved and appears!
“an old lady to support a prince” . . good one CodeTech.
It really is a problem across Africa where these little green monsters and their NGO’s are able to apply their social engineering fantasies on unsuspecting, trusting, people. You see it everywhere, Jatropha crops for bio-fuel are one instance. They just fail in every way but the “expats” get paid big bucks anyway while the locals just get poorer and poorer because they are denied access to cheap, reliable and ubiquitous energy and modern technology that works.
I have long been of the opinion that the best way to save the environment is to hook up every village to a decent electricity supply. That would be the very best use of aid money and it would stop trees being felled for cooking fuel, allow people to get educated and read even when the sun goes down, and fuel economic growth and thus reduce poverty.
Here in the Western Cape everybody gets the first 50 kwh each month for free and that has transformed many lives.
Well, talking tough is all she can do now. She has already been fired and her “Climate Secretariat” closes down on Nov. 1. EU has bigger problems than 0.01 degrees of warming.
On one hand, the idea of her sorry kleptocrat backside making contact with the outside of a slammed door makes me smile more than a little.
On the other, I have the feeling she’ll land in some other well-funded sinecure soon enough.
There is no worming at all not even your 0.01, does not exists, all the numbers are made up and phony, there is no global worming, never was never will.
The sun controls earth climate and since the sun is a variable star, the earth temperatures will fluctuate with the sun intensity increasing or decreasing.
And that is what I call settled science, not want politicians or other idiots tell you.
Those with their hand out will be in first.
s’ok, the tuuvalu mob can whine loudly enough for two or three nations.
TA has also knocked discussions on “climate change” OFF the agenda at the g20 later in the year as well:-)
so, while hes done some goofy stunts like following bummers mil and snoop agenda etc hes not all bad.
Tony Abbott spent the week:
1) visiting Arnhem Land to meet the local Aboriginal people and find out directly how to help them. This group with the lowest life span, highest incarceration rate and greatest degree of poverty.
2) ensuring a bunch of wannabe terrorists in Sydney got arrested before they could cause terror
3) attend parliament which is his prime role as Prime Minister.
Meeting the UN, Al Gore et al, and a bunch of wackadoo communists to discuss climate mythology in New York comes a distant 12,456 on the list of things Tony Abbott could have done.
Kevin Rudd and Juliar Gillard would have been in New York, which is why they and their Green mates were sacked last year.
Good to see the majority of leaders are minimising their carbon footprint, instead of being hypocritical.
All those world leaders not jetting over to New York ,think of all that nasty unnecessary CO2 they saved.
Now if POTUS would STFU, we could really make a dent in carbon dioxide emissions. Problem solved, the world is saved!
So what should President Obama do? He was expecting essentially a summit conference of the major energy consumers of the world, and all he gets are second and third level stand-ins. I guess he’ll have to meet with the leaders of the impacted countries and promise lotsa US aid. (Perhaps he can offer the Maldives an air traffic control system when they have to evacuate. At least they’ll have plenty of airports!)
He won’t be able to play his Copenhagen get-out-of-town-card – No blizzards in September and the hurricane season has flopped again.
It’s lonely at the top.
Maybe my small town can send a high school student from the ‘Young Democrats’ club to fill a seat.
The funny thing is, Obama doesn’t know the Maldives from the Malvinas.
http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2012/04/obamas-gaffes-are-his-own.php
Of course he does, it’s the 57the state
From Ric Werme’s ABC post above :
“I do not know what the reasons would be behind it, but, of course, the world will interpret who is showing up and who will not be showing up.”
The interpretation is obvious to any thinking person – this is not the crisis it was trumped up as being, as few leaders can be bothered to show up at all.
We have those like the Chinese and the Indians who were in on the creation of the Kyoto scam and, now that it’s no longer profitable for them, are quite happy to step away.
We have the sanely-run regions of the Anglosphere who finally have leaders willing to stand up for sanity.
And we have the Germans who can’t bring themselves to acknowledge they’ve been scammed but who at least have decided they won’t turn their pockets out for the Wabenzi.
This summit will consist of those industrial states whose leadership still believes in unicorns, and all the third-world kleptocrats running around with their hands out.
In the story of the ‘Boy Who Cried Wolf!” the boy discovers he has raised false alarms so many times that nobody listens to him any more. “Nobody believes a liar…even when he is telling the truth!”
Well, at least Obama doesn’t have that last part to worry about…
+1
But the wolf did not just eat him.
Just a pedantic comment.
Nothing to see here Move along PLEASE.
Obama is fresh out of friends.
That implies he had some to start with? The hopey-changey crowd perhaps?
Many politicians are staying home, but let’s not forget about this lot, as the build-up for “The People’s Climate March” reaches a hysterical crescendo, witness this article from Truthout:

Well they all seem pretty mainstream and normal. We should be OK with them looking out for us.
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha . .
Great list. I just printed that to PDF so that I can check it for anyone who ever asks me or any organization I’m part of for anything.
Over 1000 organizations – that’ll be 1000 organizations that will have egg on their face.
This is the beauty of AGW. This is probably the first time that the rats are running to get on the sinking ship.
….O’Bummer is out of fresh ideas and courage too.
Steve P. Such good news in that quote. In four months the CAGW crisis will be over. If any effort is futile will “they” shut up for good?
How much you wanna bet Obama doubles down on our ‘Biblical’ obligation to help the Mohammedanism countries?
Please don’t use the “Mohammedan” type phrases. They view people who worship Christ as Christian but Muslims don’t worship Mohammed, they worship god and revere Mohammed as a prophet (along with Christ). Just in case you weren’t aware.
You mean, in case we care.
Personally, I don’t care. The minority of them revere the slaughter of innocents as a path to Paradise while the majority simply close their eyes and pretend the violence perpetrated in the name of their chosen religion doesn’t exist at all. Neither is acceptable in a civilized society.
I guess New York isn’t an exotic enough location to discuses catastrophic climate change for most of the world leaders. Not enough caviar?
The calculating psychology of the thing intrigues me. I’m pretty sure Abbott is leaning heavily towards scepticism, both about the cause and the proposed solutions. And he is no shrinking violet, and he doesn’t have to face the electorate for a while. But he still feels the need to go along with the warmist flow to a significant extent. Leaving aside the very smooth and intelligent but largely unprincipled Obama and Cameron, I figure there are a number of other leaders thinking like Abbott, but going with the tide all the same.
Why is this? I think they all – like half the world – feel an oppressive moral obligation not to oppose the general will in the face of a substantial (if largely imagined) threat. A sort of group-think has developed among the great and the good – and not for the first time! – and breaking ranks will take great moral and political courage. We’re going to need a Churchill to get us out of this and, just as in 1940, we are only going to turn to him when the enemy battalions (energy crises, draconian regulation and taxation, and great impoverishment) are at the very door. And where is he? Is he yet amongst us?
Peter,
Tell us more about the Koch brothers conspiracy to kill Earth.
Ah! There it is! The inevitable Kock brothers ploy! Those guys are like Dr. Evil to the loony left.
Peter, I must know what it’s like for a man who can only “feel,” like a 12 year-old girl who thinks she knows everything, instead of think like a man? That must be hell, for every year, Christmas comes without Santa visiting you. You lose a tooth, put it under your pillow, but no shiny quarter is in its place in the morning. And lastly, no basketful of Easter cheer can you find on Easter morn. Grow up Peter. The Earth’s climate has been changing since day one of the planet, and there’s been no “warming” since 1996. Global Warming is as big a fantasy as Obama being your “messiah.”
Mothcatcher…. I nominate YOU!! Now, never, never, never give up! The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. Ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. And now for my favorite Churchill quote…Miss, in the morning I will be sober, but you will still be ugly!
My favourite WC quote too!
Go sniff some nitrous oxide, petey.
Believe, believe ,believe.
Take all the belief you want, it still won’t make it true.
Some genuine science, that supports this CAGW conjecture is long overdue.
By the way, those Athabasca Oilsands are the largest known natural oilspill on this planet, do you have a problem with Canadians cleaning that mess up?
And what is “Dirty Coal”? What percentage dirt does it take to meet this description?
Of the previous warming, what part was Anthropogenic?
Of course when the UN holds their Climate Cult Club meeting and no one attends, it sure makes getting that all important “Concensus” easy.
Zero agrees with self, we have a consensus folks.
Of the previous warming, what part was unwelcome?
I don’t know about you, but I like a planet when it is between glaciations.
Don’t forget code pink
It’s all about fundraising brownie points with activist money bundlers anyway.
The little “o” hits another bum note…
“Aussie PM Tony Abbott today defended his decision”…”because he has more important matters to attend to, such as running the country”. Not so much defending his decision as flipping the bird. He could have gone one step further and said he couldn’t come because he was washing his hair.
+1
He has so little hair, they would have seen through that excuse.
Funny how his original “Climate Change is Crap” comment was quite prescient.
Aussie Greens are going into full order meltdown over the Wind Farm funding cuts and carbon tax repeals.
Poor irrelevant lace blouses.
I am hoping for a “unprecedented” early blizzard in New York, maybe even some “Gore-effect” enhanced snowing. (I don’t think the forecasts are cooperating though)
Not quite, but the long range forecast for NYC is for a cold front the day before, leaving high temp near 69 F and a low 54 F. Sunny skies, but a cold NNW wind a’blowing. I want to see all the global warming protesters bundled up in sweaters and scarves. 😉
I think this is not good for the consensus.
But, how long did they expect to be riding a dead horse?
I recall the day when President Bush finally stated that he recognized global warming was a problem that must be addressed. It was a sad day that indicated it would take a long time to restore sanity to policy making, but perhaps this shunning by world leaders marks an important turn?
Paris 2015 will be held on schedule. There are junkets to fill and pockets to be picked.
We actually do not know that Paris will happen at all.
As 2009 demonstrated, the climate obsessed are not infallible in suppressing truth.
hunter, of course we know.
There is far too much money at stake in PR, cockumentaries, News-from-the-future, travel, salaries. If there isn’t going to be a Paris 2015, thousands of people in NGOs will have nothing to do!
It has a momentum of its own. Secretary Kerry will not give up on this. It is at the top of his “Bucket List”. When someone else (taxpayers) is on the hook to fill the bucket, the bucket will get filled.
Yes he recognized the problem, he just lacked the energy to tackle such stupidity head on.
After all according to the Progresssives and our media, George is stupid.
Now they get to wear the stain of Mr 57 States and the wisdom of the sycophants as every thing the Left has tried blows up.Voting “present” sure makes a great leader .
Global Warming is a problem, as political poison that we all are paying the price of.
No, climate is natural and the atmosphere just isn’t nearly as sensitive to co2 as the alarmists claim. It isn’t particulate pollution, and only an imbecile doesn’t know that.
Climate has been changing since Year One and will continue to change regardless of the inept flailing of the Left. Mankind has neither the power or the wisdom to affect climate and honestly, why would we want to? Climate change is beneficial. It contributes to the tremendous bio-diversity we see around us and is a driving force in Darwin’s theory of the survival of the fittest. A static climate would only serve to create stagnation within the ecosystem and eventually the death of most species presently alive, with no adaptations coming down the pike to replace them. These “Global Warming” acolytes are nothing more than ill informed ideologues in it for their own self enrichment or because of the brainwashing being conducted by the compromised media and the corrupt governments that dictate the news to them.
I remember that day, but no one ever accused Bush of being a thinking man’s conservative either. He was so embattled, I supposed, that he felt the need to throw the shrill hysterics on the Left a bone? Who knows, but as far as I recall, he didn’t get us into a “treaty” that will cost we taxpayers $ trillions in taxes, lost jobs, energy costs, and stagnant productivity, while “developing countries” get to expand their economies. That’s the realm of the ‘Rats.
My take is that its in large part for show now. Some diehards still think a global binding authority with a military and ability to tax and make law is possible currently, the sane realize it just wont happen… yet anyway. I expect after the 2015 conference we will start to see people acknowledging the vast holes in the mythology. I expect the real diehards to finally make the full break from reality at that point and go into hilarious directions.
The entire ‘global warming’ / ‘man-caused climate change’ issue is for one reason only – to justify someone the ability to tax and regulate and pass laws to ‘protect the planet’. Look at a video or photo of the enormous solar flares that shoot out towards the Earth from the Sun and tell me anything we do makes much difference…

They can’t even be arsed to come out and defend themselves anymore!
Without an expectation of some kind of financial benefit, even fewer countries would be showing up.
