Not many uptwinkles around the occupy durban extravaganza at this time. Aww.
Time to go home and forget about the whole bloody mess
“So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good-bye-aye”
Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out!
What more can one say but, beautiful. Can anyone calculate how much CO2 is being released by this conference going down in flames? Also, anyone bring the marshmallows?
The classic bureaucrat’s dilemma “what the heck do we do now?”
Bureaucrats’ raison d’être is writing regulations and centralizing power. They’ll find something to do.
I can’t decide whether to chuckle discreetly and humbly or laugh uproariously and gloatingly…
They should have send twice as many delegates, thugs, and journos; so the negotiations would have taken half the time!
good, let them all go to h#ll. They are a cancer on the world politic.
Normally, I hate twitter… Especially when Celebz and Politicians use it. My first instinct concerning the use of this social network, which only ends up getting them into trouble, is to say to them… “What Are You Thinking!”. But them, I realize, if I really wanted to know that… I’d follow them on Twitter!
In this case… Boy! I Love Twitter!
“I just saw EU #cop17 #climatechange negotiator, Connie Hedegaard, have temper tantrum on reviewing the latest draft text”
I’d pay good money to see that on video 🙂
Maybe they got the news that the Telegraph (UK) is claiming the coldest night of winter, so far.
Hey. It ain’t winter yet.
Don’t feel too badly for the attendees. They got a nice trip, excellent lodging and fine meals out of the deal; mostly at your and my expense.
The ONLY reason the Durban conference is going down in flames is because of the brave “skeptics” who have courageously fought against entrenched activist “scientists”, the old left media, and corrupt politicians. May God bless you all!
Don’t you love farce …
Does this make Tom Twitteratti? 😉
Again quoting without context uh? 🙂
The news out of Durban sounds like a reporter with a bad migraine.
I’m not poking fun at the reporter who handled herself well in light of the frightening episode. I’m poking fun at the pathetic double-speak from the over-ripe watermelons flying home first-class from Durban.
I’d like to see an auto-tune of “Get it Done” by Anjali Appadurai.
The late great Don Meredith had just the words for it.
No End Zone dance here. Our little struggling town is in the mist of spending money on solar trash compactors and big subsidies for solar hot water and guess what?………no sun!
When our teachers are climate preachers and the people with time to run for small town office are anti C02 zealots, look out. We still have a long way to go!
Though I have to admit the non event in Durban is sweet.
Pity to see poor Obama getting the blame after all his efforts, plus of course the polluters, whoever they may be, who have financed such massive opposition (not). All the twitterers who think that poor Africans are being condemned to death (e.g. Bianca Jagger) seem not to understand the consequences of the Malthusian policies of so many environmentalists on the poor of developing countries.

“Maybe they got the news that the Telegraph (UK) is claiming the coldest night of winter, so far.
Hey. It ain’t winter yet.”
Err… yes it is. It’s only 12 days to midwinter. *Mid*winter.
Last day interview:
… well, maybe next year
Folks, when there are press releases in your national newspapers, predicting doom and gloom;
Do not forget to have your say against them. Don’t let them get away with it.
And remember links to wattsupwiththat.
Show them that it is indeed the lunatics running the asylumn.
It helps! It really does. Many are grateful for the information.
But the BBC are still talking about a “breakthrough”. Apparently, failure to agree anything and then a vague plan to do something by 2015 counts as a breakthrough in warmist circles.
The biased Beeb’s reporting has been appaling. On Thursday night on BBC 2’2 Newsnight, we had the ludicrous site of Lord Prescott ( ex New Liebour Deputy PM and one of the original architects of Kyoto) waving around a paper wine bottle that saved 10% of the CO2. He looked drunk to me. No mention of no warming, sea level fall or normal arctic ice.
Cheers
