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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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

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.

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.»

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

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! 🙂

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

“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.”

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.

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…

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!

I sent the one you composed. It was good.

December 7, 2009 9:35 am

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 …
