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.
Of the hundreds I read, only a few skeptical ones made the cut:
One day the World will wake up and realize what you have done. You will not be able to cover this up for ever. Global taxation is not the way forward
To every single attendee : publish the carbon footprint of your attendance
If you are serious about this FRAUD why is this not a teleconference? Oh yes, that would not allow the photo opportunities and the fancy dinners
Enjoy Copenhagen. Then fly your private plane somewhere else where you can lecture us all on the effects of carbon consumption.
I hope you realize climate change is all a big hoax and Copenhagen will just put a tax on the developed world all for a big, fat lie
I am a 12 yr old boy and i am extremly worried about climate change, i would be so grateful if all of you use more renewable energy
This endeavor started about a month ago (from the time stamps) and seems to include a lot of elementary school projects.
Then there are this one:
Earth has a fever and we humans are the infection. The leaders of the World have the Power to Cure this Infection – India
I watched the messages for as long as my stomache could stand it.
Not a single dissenting message. Not one!!
My message.
Canute didn’t believe the PR. From your excesses nor do you! Come home BEFORE committing treason! G, Brown! treason is still a capital offence!

This is totally illigitimate. You have no right to regulate the atmosphere, water, or energy production in these United States. We will not comply.
Thanks for the post and link, I needed to give them a piece of my mind!
Please don’t tax us to death and take our economies back to 1880 levels!
Local MSM also wanting comment here;

Tell them what you think!
My Greeting:
Hi:
It was -30 C here in Calgary last night. Why arenn’t you here enjoying our weather?
I can’t imagine what this scam will do the industrialized economies.
Tried to send this one… Not sure it worked.
CO2, Plants love it, trees love it, all live loves and need it. All life expels it and use it. Don’t try to stop life, not worth it. Go home please

Confirmation from the form:

I opted for a haiku to appeal to their artistic side:
In Copenhagen
Bleating, Marxist, eco-sheep
Waste time and money
By the way, the phrase I had to type was “full swindle”!!!
they just show me like dozen greetings over and over again.
i think they are having their favourites right now. and that’s it .
i send:
“Try honesty! the climate is changing and we people are changing, too. ”
and i want to get rid of the fact, that the germans seems to have no clue about climategate, or don’t want to face it. it seems to me like.. if you are not able to understand english you can’t find any objective infomation on this topic.

The moderators of those messages must have been hired from the RealClimate staff…
sent this:
Hello, help to clean the air, but don’t fool yourself by thinking that you can rule the climate.
I saw this greeting on COP-15:
“I hope you realize that climate change is all a big hoax and Copenhagen will just put a tax on the developed world all for a big fat lie”
A fellow Canuck!
There is hope!
Shout from every Private Jet, every stretch limo, the penthouse suites, at each lavish feast, “Save the Earth, save it for the little people.”
Cap I. Talism
I’m afraid the non-good wishes emails will all be peer-reviewed and rejected. Even this is a scam – they will be able to say that the world “consensus” was overwelmingly supportive. It concerns me that Climategate is essentially being ignored or spun out of existence by these case hardened grifters – my hope that it would kill the Copenhagen conspiracy against America is faltering. The Nobel prize for Obama was in itself a shameful bribe and the “investigations” at UEA and Penn State will be whitewashes that will only encourage more emboldened climate larceny. I am now beginning to understand the message of Planet of the Apes.
To Climate Summit Goers,
Please find one of those blue postcards, redeem it with a whore, have a nice dinner, go home, and save the world.
The proportion of GDP spent by government needs reducing. Every dollar wasted by needless bureaucracy comsumes energy and resources. A 50% cut please

I sent them this.
“”” How nice of you to choose Dec 7 to launch a new sneak attack on the United States of America. Go home before anybody notices how silly you all look.
Drink the Kool-Aid, it’s yummy! Fools!
The Maldives are low lying while the ‘scientists’ aim high
Gores been proved to exagerate while his finger’s in the pie
