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!
You have to watch it to believe it:
h/t to Richard Tol
It is getting colder so it must be global warming causing it.This is a monty python skit please tell me it is.Surely nobody can be that dumb.
Stupid zombie. Her demeanour indicates to me that on some level she doesn’t even believe it herself.
It’s unbelievable how such morons can aquire positions as UN delegates.
This is a real scandal!
Aren’t there at least some simple IQ tests previously?
What do you expect.. Look at her eyes darting around looking for help.. Look at their body language.. Reeks of dishonesty..
Lets promise billions forever (climate justice) to purchase third world support..
Absolutely brutal (face palm)..

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.
Eve, next time we have a really hot summer (which we’re bound to, sooner or later) you should ask her if this is a sign of growing Arctic ice and global cooling. But don’t hold your breath waiting for an answer.
During the second half of last century, when it was getting warm, it was global warming. Before, when it was getting colder, it was global cooling. Now, when it is not warming and just slightly cooling, it is global warming too.
Global warming wins!
Has nobody heard of the video conference, or what?
Why travel to exotic locals, when the intertubes can do all the heavy lifting.
Is it for the PR ?, green screens ?
I’m not sure, but massive consumption of free food and drink, has not to my knowledge, ever solved any problems (for me), but then again, any excuse for an (expenses paid) party.
Till the money runs out.
I can see where this is going. They will just pause, dip and tango into the cooling armageddon and the likes of Ehrlich will be back where he started with CAGF (freezing). A good thing these guys usually only live one climate cycle.

Cook Islands coconut bikinis have cheered me up today:
=======================
I’ve been told, I am descended from Captain Cook, his bloody demise upon the beaches of Hawaii
are well known.
My mothers maiden name confirms the Cook part, the rest…..
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.
I had someone argue with me for four years that the reason for more ice in Antarctica was because the water was getting warmer. You simply cannot win against that type of illogic. You have to defeat them entirely.
Glaciations were huge episodes of Global Warming…
I lost IQ points just listening to this person.
AGW has always been a means to an end. It was never about saving the planet from overheating. The politicians that pay for research to support AGW, the scientists that make their living from the grants, and the despotic leaders of the third world, don’t care if AGW is real or not. They will stubbornly refuse to consider that it might be overblown, and they will never consider the idea of doing nothing about it.
AGW provides justification for numerous taxes, restrictions, construction contracts, tax rebates, electric and fuel rebates, redistribution of the wealth of the richest countries, and in general an endless stream of revenue to be doled out to those constituencies, organizations, and countries favored by the party in power. Money is power and this kind of potential cash cow is the ultimate power. Some of the delegates to the various taxpayers funded warmfests know the science doesn’t support their cause, but don’t care. The rest are clueless about the science but know they stand to reap great rewards if only they can continue to persuade the world’s most powerful liberals of their sincerity. To the clueless true believers, belief in AGW takes on the characteristics of religion. They will all keep spouting the party line as long as someone listens and might never openly admit they are wrong.
Half the populace is dumber than average.
It is scandal enough that they are discriminated against in hard sciences. Even if their share is getting better as time goes by, it is still a far cry from equality.
Therefore, it is only fair the mentally challenged should be overrepresented in politics.
When it warms, it warms; when it cools, it warms; when it stays the same, it warms. So, the Earth must be millions of degrees now with all of this warming going on!
So to sum up: No matter what happens, it is due to man-made global warming.
Cook Islands tourist brochure stated :”Send more tourists-last lot were delicious” Great fun-loving people . Can’t say how big their problem with inundation is.
I suspect that this person is too young to have been around when ‘global warming’ was the meme d’jour and has been indoctrinated since the terminology being pushed is ‘climate change’.
Therefore, anything she deems ‘unusual’ is proof of ‘climate change’ and she is lost for rational argument when asked about global warming.
It seems to have been a good move on the warmistas part to morph their arguments to ‘climate change’ as it is all-encompassing.
If it keeps getting warmer, we’ll all freeze to death….
That was a video of a true AlGorian. What is she going to say when an ice sheet starts forming over Europe again? I wonder how the sea level rise is going in Cook Islands.
And when the time is ripe the green will turn red.
But Germany also had a brutally cold winter. Is that also a sign of global warming? LOL.
Expect warmer winters in the NH. Haaaaa haaaa.

They also said to expect drought for Eastern Germany which has recently suffered from terrible floods. Australia? Same damn thing. I can’t be bothered with references for these idiots make my fingers ache.
For the low down on global warming with a German perspective see

Pierre the blogger is ruthless with these charlatans.
…………………….
Someone mentioned that CAGW is a religion. I don’t know but I know others who think so. Enjoy.
Doublethink: the act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct.
I have said it before and I’ll say it again. Even if we entered another Little Ice Age these NUTTERS would insists that it’s a sign of global warming or climate change caused by man. We are not in a scientific argument but a religious argument in which we cannot be allowed to win. Even if we are right it does not matter. Follow the faith.
