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).

Lars , Would that mean that Greater Copenhagen is now Gropenhagen ?
Judging from the spate of recent politicians caught with thier knickers down, calling attention to the situation is like telling the kids the candy jar is full, but no-no while I step out for the day.
How many Copenhagen summiteers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

That was wonderful . . . .

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 🙂
This comment thread contains some great stand-up comedy material. Way to go, folks.
Ironic isn’t it Ed.

“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:

Dorothy Parker punned “You can lead a horticulture, but you can’t make her think” …. perhaps she was looking ahead to the AGW crowd?
(as opposed to the unionized professionals…)

I wonder how many husbands are reading this and thinking “huh?”
Sorry, off topic.

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) :
“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 first time delegates are saying, “Thanks Russ.”

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.
