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.
Please don’t criminalise CO2 when we don’t know if a crime has been committed. Focus on poverty and hunger instead. Our children will thank you for it
Exactly 150 characters
I see The Independent has finally caught on then?
Maybe 😉
Here’s mine….”You’ve got it wrong. Stop what you are doing and address real problems. Climate change exists and no Marxist dogma is going to help solve it.”
I also note, The United States isn’t represented in any of the messages yet
The blogs at Copenhagen appear to be accepting sceptical input. See http://en.cop15.dk/blogs/view+blog?blogid=2854 where Connie Hedegaard, Minister for the UN Climate Conference, doesn’t seem to have ‘engaged’ her readers…
“The gig’s almost up, enjoy the party and get ready, because 2010 should be a long walk off a short pier. Stay warm and don’t eat the yellow snow…”
My message:
Don’t believe the politics masquerading as “science”. “Scientific consensus” is an oxymoron. The carbon footprint of COP15 shows there is no crisis.
“Don’t do anything rash. The science upon which you are basing your actions is hardly settled. Enjoy your trip but DO NOTHING you will regret.”
That’s what I sent. Had to curb my inner angst.
The American people, even the left leaning ones, aren’t too big on the idea of global governance, where we have no input whatsoever as to the officials making decisions that affect us directly. Expect much pushback from this, should you make decisions to institute this framework, or engage in your ‘social justice’ under the guise of environmental policy, as we will be the ones footing the bill.
My message:
Stop this madness! CO2 is life. Don’t deny natural climate change. You hope to manage because you are weak. Build schools instead. That is real hope.
First: The comments go to an editorial board before being posted?
Second: The ones that are already on there are so sweet as to make my teeth hurt, almost as if they were written by an editorial board!
Third: I wote something like –
Be pragmatic, money, science and politics don’t mix well. make decisions on facts not on hopes.
Enjoy yourselves on my taxes, but I have seen the Emporer’s New Clothes

Your little party at CO15 is nothing more than a sham . It will achieve nothing save the ruination of Western economies .
Go home immediately before you ruin the economies of the world’s civilised nations, based on scientific lies. Stop wasting taxpayer’s money.

Don’t bother. It’s like canned data from the Catlin expedition. I tried to cycle some messages and i only get a few in a loop. Carefully selected, of course! (except for one)
“What you are doing is WRONG… please don’t sign away our freedoms…We the people elected you after all.”
Thats sent…
My greeting:
I have reviewed a good selection of research and find the CO2 theory to be unsupported by the evidence. Get a life and stop trying to con us all.
I just slicked through some of the comments already on the site, it said ther were 5000 or so. it seems that only a dozen or so loop through. kind of reminds me of some live biometric data on another site a few months back
They are simply cycling a dozen or so ‘on message’ comments.
The one I really really liked was:-
Please help the world take the action that is necessary, including working towards plant-based diet for everyone.
If this garbage really is on a screen in the conference centre, it will be just likethe big screen in “Big Brother”. so, if you’re not scared of AGW, you should be scared of that.
“Free university,historically fountainhead of free ideas,experienced a revolution. Government contract becomes substitute for intellectual curiosity. ”
second sent:
“I want my children to have a future, a freedom-like future not a 1984-like future. Do nothing, stupids”
Dear Leaders of the World,
Please think for a minute – would Noah be able to build his ark if he had to pay carbon tax?
===
disclaimer: I’m not religious but I think it’s a nice allegory 🙂
I think they count spaces as characters I had to shorten mine to
“If there is so much solid scientific proof of AGW why has every government categorically refused to have an unbiased public hearing on the subject.”
They would let me add “When there is so much money at stake.”
Probably in the garbage bin:
There is no proof of man made warming,there isn’t even warming for the last 10 years. Save our taxes for real env. problems and polution by toxic wast
sorry for the spelling in my post, was the only way to get it into 150 chars.
