MORE NEWS FROM COPENHAGEN – –
Prostitutes Offer Free Climate Summit Sex
Copenhagen Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards to city hotels warning summit guests not to patronize Danish sex workers during the upcoming conference. Now, the prostitutes have struck back, offering free sex to anyone who produces one of the warnings.
http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,665182,00.html
Seems easy enough to find:
Excerpts:
Copenhagen’s city council in conjunction with Lord Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards out to 160 Copenhagen hotels urging COP15 guests and delegates to ‘Be sustainable – don’t buy sex’.
“Dear hotel owner, we would like to urge you not to arrange contacts between hotel guests and prostitutes,” the approach to hotels says.Now, Copenhagen prostitutes are up in arms, saying that the council has no business meddling in their affairs. They have now offered free sex to anyone who can produce one of the offending postcards and their COP15 identity card, according to the Web site avisen.dk.
Discrimination
According to the report, the move has been organized by the Sex Workers Interest Group (SIO).
Another example of negative feedback.
The ladies of Copenhagen are willing to do something to the delegates one at a time what the delegates want to do to us all at once
Awesome!
Imagine the traffic in counterfeit warnings!
Then again, we’re talking eurohookers here… not exactly worth lining up for.
I’m sure that everyone else will say the same thing, but I guess I’ve become a believer in Global Warming, so I think I’ll go to Copenhagen.
NYC was sending theirs to the Virgin Islands for recycling. Now that is sustainable.
It takes one to know one.
Brings new meaning to “tipping point.”

Everything boils down to sex eventually. what a hoot!
Quote; ‘Be sustainable – don’t buy sex’
What a bunch of “self-sustainables” the delegates are!
Hey! This isn’t Bali or Tahiti. This is chilly Copenhagen in December. The poor COP15 attendees need something with which to warm themselves.
Jolly hockey sticks!
The Politicians are now working for free? Who would have guessed the climate has changed over there.
I don’t quite understand this – what’s not sustainable about having sex?
You have sex with your wife/partner, 99 times of 100 you don’t reproduce, so that’s hardly sustaining the human race is it?
So unless these hookers are all HIV positive, what’s it got to do with ‘Green issues’?
If these guys wanna have sex, that’s their business.
They’ll be F@@ked in more ways then one at Copenhagen!
Here’s something fun:
1) Go to YouTube
2) Type in “hide the”
YouTube will helpfully present you with suggestions on hiding watermelons, pain, the rum or the knife. And it will offer you two suggestions on hiding the fart, depending on whether you wish to make a game of it.
But it will offer you nothing on hiding the decline. This, despite over 350,000 views of Minnesotans For Global Warming’s “Hide The Decline.”
Global warming leads to local heating!
They’ll be Scre@ed in more ways then one at Copenhagen!
Snip if you want I couldn’t resist!
Q. Whats the difference between a Copenhagen Prositute and an AGW Prophet?
A. Grant Money
What I don’t understand is, since prostitution IS legal, why is the Lord Mayor sending out this warning.
Well, it’s interesting because there is a strange link between these two things. The ultimate driver of greenism is puritanism; it is an ascetic, sackcloth and ashes philosophy which blames pleasure and comfort for the moral and practical destruction of mankind… and the planet. I believe there is a powerful argument that the anglosphere left in particular is driven, as with the right, by a kind of post-protestantism. “Progressivism” is simply moral fervour- not marxism, as many believe, but a desperate evangelical zeal to reform the lower orders. The model of the authoritarian modern western state is not some kind of marxist derived ideal, but rather the model villages of the nineteenth century, in which the wise factory owner housed his workers and carefully monitored and controlled their moral fibre. And we must remember that many of the anti-libertine restrictions we sadly take for granted today- laws against drugs, booze, prostitution, censorship and so on (and which many conservatives now like to think are eternal traditions of the western world) are the product of the progressive era.
The various wars on drugs, sex and rock’n’roll are bedfellows of the war on comfort, economic development and real progress exemplified by greenism. What irks the deep green deep down is that people are, in their view, just having too much of the good life and need to be pushed back into a life of ascetism.
So, the attitude of the mayor- no doubt, as a member of the western political class a person utterly drenched in the ascetic zeitgeist- is entirely consistent.
Three cheers for the whores for striking back so positively.

Just Googled ‘climategate’ “26,800,000′ anybody know which one of these was Obama ?
Addendum: I evoked the anglosphere in talking about Denmark. I think it’s time we recognised that most of the ascetic fug permeating the global governance community is being generated by the anglosphere- the USA, UK, etc. As a Brit, I’ve come to the conclusion that the best reason for us to withdraw from the EU would be to protect them from us 🙂

Hot stuff! I wonder if they are Pro-AGW pros, or anti-AGW pros? Either way, there’ll be a bit of warming going on…
I am surprised, actually, that they sent out those postcards, given that (to my understanding) this was actually one of the (implied) selling points of having the summit in Cope in the first place.
In fact, at the May conference, it was one of the highlighted activities;
http://newledger.com/2009/05/copenhagen%E2%80%99s-sex-trade-did-brisk-business-during-the-recent-climate-conference/
Just one more example.
Elitists never fail to exhibit the most debauched and excessive behavior. It’s the hallmark of an empires decline; Egypt, Greece, Persia, Rome, even Ming and the British Empire all showed a cavalier attitude toward excesses and moral degradation among the ruling class.
Of course, in the past, it’s always been regional in nature. One dominant nation, one part of the world in chaos. This time the elitism and debauchery have succeeded on a global scale. If the ruling elite suddenly disintegrated under the weight of their own hubris world wide, what would that mean? They will surely have a difficult time convincing citizens of the world at large of their veracity, wisdom and character, after their cardinal ox is gored, and they are found to be a class of charlatans with little concern for the people of the world.
Food for thought.

How, exactly, is the use of a prostitute not sustainable?
I realize that “sustainable” is just a buzz word, however the word is used to imply that you are only using as much of a resource as can be replaced. If one uses a postitute, is said prostitute now gone? Of course not. Then again, is it even possible to refer to a prostitute as a resource?
However, the fact that prostitution is legal there may have been a factor in the choice of location. Some of that grant money may well have been allocated for this kind of assistance.
This is the sex part that the media needs to really blow the doors open on this story.

Climategate Investigator Is Member Of Vehemently Pro-Man Made Global Warming Organization
A civil servant who is a member of one of the most vehemently pro man-made global warming advocacy organizations in Europe which also has direct ties to the IPCC has been handed the job of whitewashing the investigation into the University of East Anglia, while absurdly billing himself as impartial and unconnected to climate science.
There’s little doubt that Russell is an establishment insider who has been tasked with whitewashing the whole affair.

this may be the first time the IPCC has ever tried to hide a ‘rise’ instead of a ‘decline’.

“Hacking” is definitely an illegal act though in this case one with a potential public-interest defence. If , as many suspect, the documents were “leaked”, that would probably be covered by the 1998 Public Interest Disclosure Act. See: http://www.pcaw.co.uk/index.htm
May I, an unrepentant though far from mainstream left-winger, add that Ian B’s analysis of “left” morality is insightful, informative and IMHO spot on.
The Lord Mayor somehow got her wires crossed on this one. Prostitution is legal in Copenhagen. Fraud is not legal in Copenhagen.
Shouldn’t the Lord Mayer instead warn those hotels to be on the lookout for certain charlatans posing as “climate scientists” ?
Shouldn’t the Lord Mayor issue a warning to the union that their working girls could contract a terminal case of “mendacity” from cavorting with some of those delegates?

‘Climate change pushes poor women to prostitution, dangerous work’
http://www.gmanews.tv/story/177346/climate-change-pushes-poor-women-to-prostitution-dangerous-work
With a convention in town, that silly mayor could hardly expect the pros to curtail their fossil fool use.
During the Korean War, there was a mass exodus from Paris to Nice just before the 7th Fleet dropped anchor bringing the promise of sailors with money and unfulfilled lust.
It is reasonable to assume that there will be a mass exodus from Paris to Copenhagen in anticipation of the presence of thousands of politicians freeloading on taxpayer money (via the UN) and desiring the all expenses paid companionship of hospitable Danes, who may be Parisians in actual fact.
Given the advance notice, the necessary visas will have been acquired.
As in all occupations, you follow the money..
Question: When a Copenhagen attendee and a prostitute are alone in a room, how do you tell who is who?
Answer: You can’t.
“Sustainability” seems to have become a type of religion, with numerous moral and ethical “codes”. From the “Earth Charter”, here are a couple of sections, parts of which could conceivably cover prostitution, and how it might not be considered “sustainable”:
III. Social and Economic Justice
9. Eradicate poverty as an ethical, social and environmental imperative.
10. Ensure that economic activities and institutions at all levels promote human development in an equitable and sustainable manner.
11. Affirm gender equality and equity as prerequisites to sustainable development and ensure universal access to education, health care and economic opportunity.
12. Uphold the right of all, without discrimination, to a natural and social environment supportive of human dignity, bodily health and spiritual well-being, with special attention to the rights of indigenous peoples and minorities.
IV. Democracy, Nonviolence, and Peace
13. Strengthen democratic institutions at all levels, and provide transparency and accountability in governance, inclusive participation in decision-making, and access to justice.
14. Integrate into formal education and lifelong learning the knowledge, values and skills needed for a sustainable way of life.
15. Treat all living beings with respect and consideration.
16. Promote a culture of tolerance, nonviolence and peace.
It would seem, though, that Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard’s primary concern is trying to keep the image of her city and of Hokumhagen clean. Seems the postcard idea has backfired though.
This all reminds me of H Allen Smith, the newspaper man. He once told all of his coworkers that his parents were visiting New York City. “If you run into me and my parents, whatever you do, don’t let them know I work for United Press. They don’t know I’m a journalist.”
“What do they think you do for a living?” one of his friends asked.
“I told them I play the piano in a whorehouse,” Smith replied.

“It would seem, though, that Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard’s primary concern is trying to keep the image of her city and of Hokumhagen clean. Seems the postcard idea has backfired though.”
Or perhaps she’s a politician and got free sex to the attendees.
Prostitution in Denmark, as in most European countries including the UK, has been legal for a decade, and accepted or at least tolerated way before then. Mexico, Canada and many other countries around the world allow prostitution. I don’t really know why the Mayor would be concerned about the image of her city. She just can’t overtly pimp.
“Consider adding as background music to this thread “Bad to the Bone” by ZZ Top.”
That would be George Thorogood…
According to the largest Danish daily, the legitimate hookers (i.e. not those poor souls from eastern Europe or Africa who have been forced/coerced/deceived etc. into doing this type of work) have tired of the new age “prissiness” – if that is the correct word – of the leftist parties which run Greater Copenhagen. This is their demo against the city council.
How does either relate to sustainability? That’s my point. What, are they worried about the extra CO2 exhaled during the act???
You’re misunderstanding the word “sustainable”. It is now used simply as a synonym for “moral”.
I think the basic reasoning, if you can dignify it is that, is the fact that doing anything at all consumes energy and resources. Therefore, doing anything which is not specifically moral is a crime against sustainability, because it is consuming resources that could have been put to a moral purpose.
Basically, the Consensus measure everything by moral outputs rather than e.g. by economic outputs. This is why it’s acceptable for Fat Al to consume lots of resources; he’s producing (in the Consensus view) a great moral output. A normal economist (either capitalist or traditional marxist) would measure productivity by production of goods or services. The Consensus measures production of moral goods, so economically rewards those who are highly morally productive i.e. themselves. Energy and resources consumed by prostitution have (in the Consensus view) a negative moral output, and are thus, in the jargon, “unsustainable”.
Something like that, anyhoo.
Wow! This is an opportunity for some paparazzi photos of prominent “hotty” climate primates at play.

‘Climate change pushes poor women to prostitution, dangerous work’
http://www.gmanews.tv/story/177346/climate-change-pushes-poor-women-to-prostitution-dangerous-work
Holy smoke, is that article lame, or what?
“Of the 92 million Filipinos, about 60 percent are living in coastal areas and depend on the seas for livelihood, said former Environment secretary Dr. Angel Alcala.
Alcala said that “we have already exceeded the carrying capacity of our marine environment.”
But as the sea’s resources are depleted due to overpopulation and overfishing, fishermen start losing their livelihood and women are forced to share the traditional role of the man in providing for the family.”
So, “Climate Change” causes overpopulation and overfishing, causing unemployment, thus forcing some women into prostitution. What amazing bright lights these Alarmists are.
Oh, and then there’s this gem: “Climate change could reduce income from farming and fishing, possibly driving some women into sex work and thereby increase HIV infection,” Mukherjee said during the Wednesday launch of the UNFPA annual State of World Population Report in Pasay City. The only question is; Is there anything bad that “Climate Change” can’t do?
Apparently there have been a lot of cancelations, and they want to generate some excitement about the Copenhagen meeting (among the politicians and diplomats). That would be my take.
A google reveals that “ClimateGate” is much bigger than tits, breasts, bust, jugs and boobs, but still not as good as sex.
However, today for the first time, “Climategate” is bigger than “Climate change”, having exceeded “global warming” days ago.

I thought these green workers were really in the sustainable poultry business. Too bad the Cash for Flockers program expired before the full strut of the climate roosters.
I wonder how many wives of delegates are reading about this, and thinking about a possible “broken bone” that might keep her husband at home.
I wonder how many wives are reading about this and thinking “last time he went he said that $500 cash payment was for carbon credits”.
I wonder how many wives are reading about this and thinking “if he brings me back something he picked up for free, I’ll never dress up as Uncle Sam again”.
I wonder how many wives are reading about this and thinking, “he can hide the decline at work, but at home, the hockey stick is just a distant memory”.
My wife insists on turning the lights off when doing the same thing these prostitutes are offering. Isn’t that going to be good for energy reduction?
This may just be the ‘tipping point’ I need to change to pro-AGW (pun intended) and look for a ticket on the Copenhagen gravy train.
Ian B, have another butchers at that telegraph item.Is that not the infamous “lost polar bear” photo in reverse? The one that was taken from a beach by an amateur?
Journalistic Harlotism if you ask me 🙂

“How does not buying sex = sustainability?”
How is buying sex sustainable?
Good point. Selling sex seems to be far more sustainable than buying it.
Ask some members of ‘the oldest profession’. The proceeds have been sustaining them for thousands of years.
*****************************************
But not always sustaining governments. The social democrats in Denmark appear to claim some moral purpose behind their opposition to prostitution, but the real reason may be
“Earnings from prostitution are undeclared, no tax is paid, and prostitutes have no contracts specifying pay, working hours, working conditions or pension schemes. Many prostitutes are also in receipt of social security benefits.”
http://www.kvinfo.dk/side/676/article/55/
The mayor of Copenhagen is a social democrat.
“The Social Democrats’ social policy through the 1990s and continuing in the 21st century involved a significant redistribution of income and the maintenance of a large state apparatus with collectively financed core services such as healthcare, education and infrastructure.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Democrats_%28Denmark%29
By the way, a “maintenance of a large state apparatus” and “redistribution of income” in some cases apparently equates to supporting and advancing
“the most autocratic, absolutist, centralist and undemocratic of all”,
in addition to other behaviors:

How many Copenhagen summiteers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
They’re not going to. They will change the design of the fittings you have to have fitted by law, and then sell you their ‘value added’ low wattage-high price bulbs instead.
Bit of a non event actually, as it is so cold in Condomhagen at this time of year, interest is likely to quickly drop off.
When you ask a Copenhagen convention hooker for an “Around the World,” she packs you in ice and lifts your wallet.
I hear the biggest prostitute of them all, AL GORE, will not be in Copenhagen.
Russ R. (14:14:35) :

Seeing the huge gap between what lead writers still think they can get away with saying, and what more and more ordinary people commenting in the threads are now saying, I think a bangfest is a good idea. The hookers might teach the professors something. Clearly they are a lot more principled than most of the COP15 lot.
Glenn:
The use of Uncle Sam is an American colloquialism for the public at large, or in this case the taxpayers.
Although in this case, it is applicable to all those footing the bill for this conference, that could have been done using tele-conference.
The rest is on-topic as the husband is “getting something for free”, although not your usual conference “booty”, and he may get more than he bargined for.

How fitting, the delegates have prostituted their morality so they might as well indulge in the freebies.

It’s good training, that the may need later in life. Customer satisfaction is an important concept, that those in acedemia never learn very well.
If there is any justice, they will need to service whoever their pimp, sells them to, for a pack of smokes.
Brings a whole new non-scientific meaning to the phrase “trick”.
Glenn, I have stayed at the SAS Royal Copenhagen near Tivoli many times. Back in the 90’s, SAS use to offer a complementary night’s stay when flying SAS from Seattle. No other fringe benefits to my knowledge.
Never confuse Libido with Albedo, it’ll always reflect on you badly!
Ian B (08:02:47) :
Well, it’s interesting because there is a strange link between these two things. The ultimate driver of greenism is puritanism; it is an ascetic, sackcloth and ashes philosophy which blames pleasure and comfort for the moral and practical destruction of mankind… and the planet. I believe there is a powerful argument that the anglosphere left in particular is driven, as with the right, by a kind of post-protestantism. “Progressivism” is simply moral fervour- not marxism, as many believe, but a desperate evangelical zeal to reform the lower orders. The model of the authoritarian modern western state is not some kind of marxist derived ideal, but rather the model villages of the nineteenth century, in which the wise factory owner housed his workers and carefully monitored and controlled their moral fibre. And we must remember that many of the anti-libertine restrictions we sadly take for granted today- laws against drugs, booze, prostitution, censorship and so on (and which many conservatives now like to think are eternal traditions of the western world) are the product of the progressive era.
I think your analysis is absolutely spot-on. I wish I had written that piece.
“Gropenhagen” isn’t bad, but the mayor’s “Just say no” message adds another layer of meaning to “Nopenhagen,” which originally meant “Nothing’s going to happen here.”
That’s stuffed the Sydney to Hobart, the gun just went off and everyone just done a u turn and gone north.

“NOTE TO COMMENTERS: keep this thread clean – there’s lots of potential for abuse”
Gee! Ya think?
I know that it will probably be pretty cold in Copenhagen this time of year. It’s telling that they didn’t organize themselves to be in Adelaide or Brisbane where it will be hot and there would have been lots of headlines about drought…
…Poor planning by propagandists, I’d say.
At least the beer will be excellent. Maybe that’s what’s important.
Here’s a billboard or poster those sex workers could put up on their roofs, or in their windows:
“Hey big spenders, spend a little time with us.”
Maybe Copenhagen’s new motto?
This IS clean…. sorta. ☺

Question: When a Copenhagen attendee and a prostitute are alone in a room, how do you tell who is who?
Answer: You can’t
I beg to differ.
1. The working girls/guys (WG) are totally honest about what they do.
2. The WG are not part of some ‘new’ science
3. The WG have a thorough understanding of ‘Principal Components’
4. The WG readily admit that they are only in it for the money.
5. They really do know what a ‘trick’ is.
6. They are well aware that ‘virtual reality’ is no substitute for the real thing.
7. They make an effort to NOT be condescending.
8. They have a long track record of not concealing their work – In fact they had fought hard to bring it out into the open
9. All their methods can be inspected – most times for a reasonable fee, but this week they are not even charging that.
A jolly abroad for the CRU
They were wondering what else to do
Their data is crap

UPDATE ON COPENHAGEN
Obama to avoid ambush by arriving at the end of the summit instead of the start.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/copenhagen-climate-change-confe/6731431/Copenhagen-climate-summit-Barack-Obama-to-attend-end-of-summit.html
Copenhagen climate summit: Barack Obama to attend end of summit
President Barack Obama will attend the end of the UN climate summit in Copenhagen instead of the beginning, the White House has said.
04 Dec 2009
Mr Obama had earlier planned to stop at the summit on his way to Nobel Peace Prize events in Oslo.
The US president abruptly altered the timing of his appearance at the conference, hoping to capitalise on steps by India and China in the effort to agree a new global warming pact, Robert Gibbs, the White House official press secretary, said. “The president believes that continued US leadership can be most productive through his participation at the end of the Copenhagen conference on December 18th rather than on December 9th,” Mr Gibbs said in a statement. “There are still outstanding issues that must be negotiated for an agreement to be reached, but this decision reflects the president’s commitment to doing all that he can to pursue a positive outcome.”
The move means that Mr Obama will be squeezing in a separate, 10th foreign trip before Christmas – a record pace of travel for a first-year president – as a means to giving momentum to a deal aimed at fighting global warming.
Mr Obama will now leave for Oslo late Wednesday, attend Nobel events on Thursday and return to Washington on Friday.
note: Thus avoiding any possibility of the threatened “blame it on America” mass walkout.
The email makes sense now; their favourite trick is Heidi de Klein.

Time to clean my screen once more … ☺ ☺ ☺
Can I throw in a defence of Puritains please? I am a Congregationalist and trace my history back to the “Puritains”. Sorry to be excised about this, but Puritain has NOTHING to do with “purity” of life. It has to do with PURIFYING the ANGLICAN CHURCH of its ROMAN CATHOLIC TRAPPINGS.
In point of fact the orginal Plimoth Colony (spelled right) group in Mass. USA had the following practices which come as a shock to many:
1. A few bushels of “American Corn” could be traded for a lager of Ale from a passing trading ship. (Translation for the weekend, “PARTY!”)
2. Their native friends introduced them to a product to chase away the dark, damp, cold “humors” of the North East, they ground it to a powder, put it in a thing called a PIPE, ignited and breathed the vapors. It was a “health food”, what did the Indians call it? Oh, TOBACCO!!!!!
3. The early Pilgrim/Puritains just “lived together” as couples. They had no CHURCH marraige ceremony, nor did they recognize the “Crown’s” ceremonies. (There is NO ‘ceremony’ in the “Bible” either.)
SO please, can we come up with something ELSE besides “Puritain” to call the environmentalists? Let’s call them COERCIVE UTOPIANS, because THAT is what they really are!
The working gals in Nopenhagen could wear the T-shirts I’ve seen advertised recently whose slogan is, “I’m a hotspot.” That would give the conventioneers the pretext they need for doing some extra-mural temperature research.
One set of prostitutes getting freebies from another set. What do you call it? Professional courtesy.

It is rarely the hotel owner who arranges contacts between guests and prostitutes. Usually the guest will contact the barman or the porter, who will know the way and will collect a negotiating-fee from the prostitute or her pimp.
The mayor nor the hotel-owner have the power to interrupt this profitable business
