During 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.
@Eve, save the tree’s whats?
This is not a poll. They have invited messages to the delegates. I’m sure most of us have more than one message we’d like to send…
I sent the following
The famous words of George Carlin “The planet is fine. The people are …” Trying to stop CO2 going from 0.0012% to 0.0013% of air will not alter it
I bet out of those 6000 messages, 5980 didn’t make it through. They’re just rotating the remaining 20 😉
Have found this nice piece, must be an expat from North Korea:
“I am humbled and exceedingly honoured to text to you.
I appreciate all the plans of you ,our leaders,to make the world a better place to live in.”
Looks like a sort of template we all should use …
Here is what I wrote:
Science first IPCC, otherwise stop talking because you are emitting CO2
They replied the words were not correct. What did I do wrong?
The planet’s increasing albedo and trapped CO2 go hand in hand. Higher albedo means cooling and trapped CO2 means heating – which of these two is dominating now and what is the prognosis?
I sent the following:
If you have a shred of common sense, do nothing and go home. There is no man made crisis to fix.
Nobody will read it in Copenhagen, I’m certain.
the food’s price has doubled, we have new taxes, co2 emissions are still high, the climate got colder. stop this masquerade, we didn’t vote for this.
COP15 is a joke. AGW is a fraud. Free the data!
Message to Copenhagen:
Greetings delegates. Do nothing. The corrupt data from the CRU underpins the UN IPCC decisions.
This message will, I’m sure, trigger the automatic delete function.
Save the World! Go home now before you commit to drastic measures to solve a non-problem.
Thank god this is a testable hypothesis. No excuse or qualificaiton will be able to prevent your shame and condemnation forever. Doomed zealot leming
I’m filing a FOI request to see how you adjust, hide and delete messages.
and
Please stay in Copenhagen forever – enjoy the limos and prostitutes! We don’t want you back, ever!
My message:
‘Think very, very hard: scientific opportunism does not make for good policy’
I chose the deer stamp. Don’t they realise they are ruminants, belching and farting all those nasty gasses!
Stop trying to calm the weather gods like our ignorant ancestors did. Don’t protect the climate, it’s always changing. Protect democracy instead.
But can you imagine this:
“The Climate Greetings will be shown on large screens throughout COP15 as well as at various other venues in Denmark and around the world.” We had this sort of political propaganda here in Germany from 1939 – 1945, and again, this time in East Germany only, from 1945 – 1989. And now they’re at it again.

“They replied the words were not correct. What did I do wrong?”
Jack,
Sounds like it’s referring to the ‘capcha’ security words that must be typed in to post displayed above the line ‘Enter the words above:’
My addition: “Since the Earth’s climate is dominated by a positive feedback of H2O and CO2 lets build a greenhouse over the ocean and create perpetual energy”
CO2 is beneficent and supports my income as herbs and vegetables grower. Photosynthesis transforms CO2 in glucose basis of all plant origin products.
Care for poor before Gore. Children first climate last. Require Copenhagen Consensus WHO Benefit/Cost. Open audit validate and restore IPCC integrity.
First, DO NO HARM!
Second, GO HOME, MORONS!
In Regina Sask it is -29 and I sit with my furnace cranked up high to keep warm. I sincerely hope your efforts result in complete failure.
To the UN
The day I see Al Gore or David Suzuki tilling their subsistence plots with crooked sticks, hauling water by hand, no electricity, no heating, a burlap sack over their back and a coolie hat to protect them from the elements, then and only then will you have my full and undivided attention.
I had to cut it down to 150 words
I sent:
Don’t fall for the biggest scientific fraud of all time. Don’t wreck economies. C02 is not a pollutant. DO NOTHING and go home.

I found the following message, which I edited to remove the profanity:
James Smith Glad to see you all care so much about the “climate” to come in a ****load of petrol-guzzling limos and jet planes. Ever heard of “carpool”? Twats. 7-12-2009 1 United Kingdom
