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.

Here is mine. Signed it with my full name.
“Stop wasting and money on this pseudo-science. There’s no anthropogenic warming. 1000 years ago is has been warmer! Consensus is a lie.”

This is an xml file. You may add a style sheet to make it more readable. View source, and save it as “cope.xml”. Then, in your text editor, create a file with this content:
ClimateGreeting {
display: block;
margin: 1.25em;
}
author, message {
display: block;
}
Save it as “cope.css” in the same directory as cope.xml.
Now open cope.xml, that you saved earlier. Edit the first line to read
<?xml-stylesheet href=”cope.css” type=”text/css”?>
Now you can open cope.xml in your browser and each message will be in its own block.
cheers,
gary

I will be sure to think of you all while burning a few old rubber tires in front of my cave tonight.

Do not ruin the western economies. Poor countries need cheap energy to lift themselves from poverty. Freedom & cheap energy promote innovation!

Declare victory over climate change, turn in your limos, fly back home first class or in your private jets, and tell your constituents that you have saved the planet.

Dear Cop Con,

I applaud those of you who will return home having made no agreement at this summit. The economy of the world is in your hands. The climate is not.

It will be a true miracle if anything like this pass through….
For some reason, there is no net global warming since about 1997. Please consider recent global temperature measurements before any serious decision.

Leaked emails from UK show AGW is in question. Please agitate for real science! Get politics out of science, and let’s verify all data again first!
[Thanks for the info on how to communicate, Anthony. Even if it will be deleted in Copenhagen, it is a satisfying feeling to be able to “throw the hammer at the screen or Big Brothers face”, so to speak.]

December 7, 2009 1:28 pm

I went to the COP site and read the comments “submitted.” They are a total sham, just like AGW. They are all in a closed loop of a couple dozen comments that are repeated over and over, every comment being supportive, every one is in English but purporting to come from many differerent countries around the world. Pure hogwash.
Here’s what I sent as a waste of time:
Why not consider a fix for the real culprits behind climate change (if there really is any need) — control the sun in space and the clouds on earth?

This is just hilarious:
Your vote will be presented to world leaders at the COP15 UN climate summit in Copenhagen, telling them to seal a fair and effective climate deal.

Twenty six thousand in Europe???
Over one million voters in China. [snip]?
No way to opt out by the way.

Think of how many schools and hospitals could have been built for the cost of this conference. Do something useful instead.

Crikey, looking at some of the comments on the page Ecotretas refers to, one might think that they have all been written as a class exercise for brainwashed school children, or even sayings from Mao’s Little Red Book. Weirdos. Peace and love, man, and pass the spliff…
Just seen the “drive 5 miles less a week” ad – in the middle of Tony Robinson’s programme (where, incidentally, there appears to have been a lot of warminh without contributions from 4 x4s and SUVs – I hope the programme doesn’t degenerate into an AGW message). They don’t half milk these ads, and you can’t answer back.

Wake up! Global warming is a hoax that is being used to shift United Nations funding from dues to a world-wide tax base.

This was my message “The evidence is in. There is a concensis. Now is the time to act. Thank you attending members at Copenhagen for saving my planet!”

Here’s another
Man made global warming is a fact.
Take scheming environmentalists and a dishonest computer programmer. Enter the data and massage it. Add one printer. Now hit enter and out pops man made global warming.

I sent this, ain’t holding out much hope for it appearing in “Hopenhagen” though:
December 7, 1941, a date which will live in infamy. December 7, 2009, a date which will live in hypocracy.

When the Medieval Warm Period ended, the Vikings all packed up and moved back to Copenhagen, so some of the locals will have ancestors still buried in Greenland cemeteries that are now permafrost.
