CFACT was at the Bonn climate conference (which collapsed by the way) interviewed a number of ahem, shall we say, “interesting” people.
They write:
At the UN Climate Conference in Bonn, Germany, we came across a delegate who explained that the unusual cold weather accompanying the conference (yes, the “Gore Effect” was out in force!) was a perfect example of how global warming is affecting our lives!

The colder it gets, the more Global Warming is happening. Hmmm
This reminds me of phishing emails that have such poor grammar that it would take someone extremely gullible to fall for it. So it is with this kind of statement, like it’s getting hotter because it’s colder.
Yea, i saw that on Craig’s site. And these are the people that want to lead us.

This daft bint gets to go on all expenses paid holiday half-way around the world to spout this crapulence? A taxpayer somewhere is freezing to death because of her vested ignorance. Maybe not this season., maybe not next season … Maybe more than one (the holiday and the frozen corpse).

There you have it… its called RELIGION,
a belief system that blatently flies in the face of facts and fails to comprehend the meaning of the often repeated mantra.
In fact so repeated that the `light bulb` moment never happens due to the form of indoctrination Try replacing with “to make rain we must dance”

also, this delegate is SO attuned to the earth’s climate that she doesn’t seem to be aware that the German summer is generally somewhat cooler than summer in the Cook Islands.
‘It’s supposed to be hot outside right now, but its not. So it’s proof that the weather’s gone haywire!’
GAK!
My sister is a chemical engineer in the UK. She actually told me that the UK was so cold because of the arctic ice melt. That is the official explanation. The declining ice in the Arctic has pushed the gulf stream south. I told her that it must have really cold in the 20’s and 30’s in Britain because there was less Arctic ice then than now. No Answer.
Can we set up a market that offsets ‘stupid emissions’? I feel that Bonn may have been a hotspot with that much dumb in one place.
Why can’t they choose delegates with brains? Oh…wait, of course! – they actually WANT morons to preach too!

Bruce Schneier discussed a paper that suggested Nigerian scams are deliberately stupid in order to filter out anyone with a brain, so the scammers can concentrate on the gullible.

I think we’re seeing the same thing here.
(Either that, or AGW is actually the GUT of everything. Probably the Higgs boson was only discovered recently because global warming causes more of those, too.)
The true problem that exists is that the alarmist wingnuts are WINNING! If everyone studied the observations, they would know that warming has ceased and it is not the 11th hour. They don’t want reality, they want their ideology. The main stream media refuses to report reality, so the low information voters support the wingnut candidates like Obama so he can save the world. Did anyone notice Obama just raised the price on carbon? Being right about the state of climate science is not enough, at some point true champions that are in the positions to effect change must step up. Otherwise, we all will just remain frustrated with a warped sense of “being right”. Even though it seems that more and more data proves AGW theory to be bad science, where’s the news stories to support that? This will continue to be a long, hard battle for years to come. Too much momentum to overcome anytime soon.
Yeah, why look at bunch of thermometers around the world when we can look at summer temps in tiny Germany to see if the Earth is warming.
I was sure she would come to her senses under the repeated questioning by the interviewer but she was totally unfazed. I guess the senses were not involved at any time. Unbelievable!
The “Cook” Islands? No wonder she’s got things backwards!
If a cold summer proves global warming would the corallary be that a hot temps prove global cooling???
Boy could we use some of those empty promises of global warming up here in Michigan….
So by that reasoning the last ice age was proof of runaway global warming then.
Re: the video
Not sure what would be worse, 1) that she believed her words, or 2) that they were spoken to raise funds.
I can understand point 2.
She did do a pretty good job considering the video camera.

They are winning because they are the state. That’s the criminal enterprise that makes the rules and has the guns to enforce them. Doesn’t have much of a brain but that’s not required.
Cook Islands coconut bikinis have cheered me up today:
That is the face of a true climate change refugee. This is what the IPCC has created – a dependent class of world citizens beseeching handouts from the new magistrates of wealth distribution, the UN. Amazing, isn’t it, what the promise of a free trickle of coins can do to a population. The metric of success is to turn the entire population of the Cook Islands into believers like this pilgrim – cargo cult, no longer limited to Melanesia, is alive and well in the South Pacific, evidenced by the ritualistic gesture of the upturned palm.

Well actually the Bonn area should have 30 deg C and more at this time of year but has much less now, simply because it is much more cloudy than in a normal year. (I’m a hundred km from there so I know)
It turns out that it’s cooler when there are clouds. I blame it on a working Svensmark mechanism as we have the weakest solar maximum ever since beginning of the 20th century. It is surely not caused by CO2, as the CO2-rich years up to about 2010 were pretty warm and sunny.
Reblogged this on Public Secrets and commented:
The desperation of the global warming cultists is evident in their pretzel logic and spawned by the Earth’s refusal to play along with their glorious computer models. Amusing and pathetic at the same time. Video at the link.
