The photo below originally appeared in the NYT showing Air Force One returning from Copenhagen.
It of course, screams for a caption. I’m sure our readers can provide one.
Here’s the original caption and story from the NYT.
Major Snowstorm Hits Atlantic Coast
A major winter storm was moving up the Atlantic Coast on Friday night, with forecasters expecting accumulations of one to two feet of snow in some areas. President Obama returned early Saturday from climate talks in Copenhagen, landing at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland in the midst of the storm.
I’ll fill in the balloon with the best caption
Fellow citizens, the thermostat of the CO2 induced climate apparatus in Copenhagen has been set wrong by our honorable climatologists. Instead of tuning it to a maximum rise of plus 2°C, they tuned it to minus 2°C ! I apologize to you for this inconvenient trick.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. …. Hell just froze over!
Climate change you can believe in!
I guess Al Gore got here before me again
Quick, someone go measure the sea level!!! I promised it would fall, and it must be now!
“Al, didn’t we decided on +2 degrees, not -2…?”
Damn it’s cold in here.
Oh crap, Nancy put your shirt back on!
(…don’t ever let that witch on this plane again…)
“Yo snowstorm, Imma let you finish, but China saving the capitalist world from itself was the greatest irony OF ALL TIME!!”
We TOLD you global warming would shut down the ocean conveyor belt!
No pregnant virgins in Copenhagen, so we came back with the gold. We got high on the incense instead, but the myrrh had passed its sell-by date so we sent it to the CRU.
(BTW, picked up a fake Nobel Prize on the trip; nice souvenir for the Den)
“I’m just gonna squeeze my eyes shut, stick my fingers in my ears, and sing the ‘la-la-la’ song as loud as I can until summer!”
Mother Nature hadn’t been invited to Copenhagen for some reason (something about her persistent disagreements with the settled science) but made up for it afterwards…
>>> “I’m going outside, I may be a little while.”
Yessss. A bit English, though. A phrase mentioned by one of Robert Scott’s colleagues, before going out into the snow of the Antarctic and killing himself.

Personally I vote for the “rotten snow” caption to win.
I’ve mocked up the Air Force One photo on my blog with a caption to suit the dealings of our own idiotic Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Obama / Al Gore
Also click on the link below the photo to see Gore and Brown making idiots of themselves at Copenhagen
My favourite….
>> 5) Anyone got any warm clothes for the emperor?
Sums it all up, really.

“YOU gave the 100 billion to Mugabe, Hillary. I saved the planet and got this Rolex from Jiabao… can I negotiate or what? Hey, where is this, Mongolia? – that sneaky Bush must have re-routed my plane!”
Regardless of which caption you go with, I think you otter add this little guy into the picture!! I’ll try to see if I can get him to show in this post,
but if that didn’t work, see:

note, I didn’t create him myself, he’s out there floating around on the web in posts
“I hold in my hand this piece of paper from Copenhagen. Temperatures shall not rise more than 2 degrees.”
Loved Cold Englishman’s’ Scott of the Antarctic’ parody!
For my next trick……………..
“Yes,we can…mmm…hope the decline will change…WUWT Michelle dear?”
“Hmmm… maybe warmer is better, after all!”
“Ok, we got Change, but where is the Hope?”
“Gaia, cut the crap. Warm up 2 degrees Celsius and stop right there. Or you’ll be pulling your jokes from Guantanamo.”
markham : Who forgot to throw Gore under the bus??
Roger Knights : “Bah, Humbug!”
Bill Tuttle : “%$#@ur momisugly! There’s no chance Anthony Watts will find out about this, is there?”
Boulderfield : “Daddy, will you get a Nobel for ending Global Warming?”
ROTFL… There are so many good ones I keep having to clean my computer screen.
