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:

Good heavens, it’s not even “summer right now”, it’s Spring.
I loved the coconut bikinis as well. I had a quick look at the Edgewater Resort, shown in the poster behind them, this is their web address: http://www.edgewater.co.ck
“The Edgewater Resort & Spa is the best-known Cook Islands resort, offering affordable luxury on the sheltered west coast of Rarotonga. The Edgewater’s prime location puts Rarotonga’s natural splendour front and centre; the magnificent sunsets, the surrounding lush green mountains and the view over the white sandy beach and deep blue lagoon.Yet it’s not just the backdrop that makes The Edgewater Resort & Spa the best accommodation Rarotonga has to offer. What sets this premier Rarotonga resort apart is what Edgewater brings to this stunning island location: great dining, first-class entertainment, a dedicated kids’ club, health spa and sparkling pool. As the largest Rarotongan resort, Edgewater has more space, more activities and more to offer than any other Cook Islands holiday.”
It doesn’t say anything about sinking beneath the waves……
Regarding the hype about cool weather being due to warming causing less ice in the arctic: There is more ice up there right now than in recent years. However I’ve noted a weak area right near the pole. If we are in a sixty year cycle, there may be patches of open water right up at the pole, as there were roughly sixty years ago when we got those pictures of submarines surfacing at the pole. And if there are open areas at the pole this summer, the total area of ice will not matter. There will simply be hype, hype, hype. So….strap on your helmets and prepare to counter, counter, counter.
In the fictitious public paranoia works file with the others. The hype has a neighbor of mine reacting to the fact that he didn’t get hail during a thunderstorm (that didn’t produce a unusual rain winds) while a neighboring community did get hail is proof that the weather is unpredictable and threatening because of climate change. Then they get mad when you point out that it’s normal for one town to get hit by a thunderstorm and another not. I’m a denialist because I won’t confirm his fear. From the global UN to my local neighbor, it’s all the same.
What do the Cook Islands delegate & John Cook have in common?

Absence of intelligence.
Hurray! I’m getting rich. They reduced my salary last month.
I understand the below sign was posted at the entrance of the UN Climate Change Conference in Bonn:
Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I endure.
All hope abandon ye who enter here.

“It’s unbelievable how such morons can aquire positions as UN delegates.”
It looks like you had a high opinion of the UN.
Why?
The last ice age was obviously global warming.
I impatiently await the warming of the globe so that we all can enjoy the quality of Cook Island dancers at all Latitudes and Atitudes.

Heck. Them Cook Island ladies can believe whatever they want. Let’s have another dance!
Yes – her comments illustrate unquestioning indoctrination surpassing George Orwell’s literary speculations.
She DID managed to regurgitate the AGW pablum, without the use of a teleprompter though….. unlike our TOTUS.
Anthony,
What impeccable timing.
I am e-mailing this video to my daughters reiterating for the umpteenth time how lucky they are to be blessed with outstanding genetics, a conservative, logical upbringing, college degrees in science, and Father’s Day.
Thank You!

I agree. I like coconuts myself.
Not so uneducated in the Cook Islands!

They probably learn this attitude in New Zealand at New Zealand Universities. The New Zealand government has close ties with the Pacific Nations which involve grants etc for global warming and sea level rise research , I think. They don’t mention coral so much now ,though:-)
BTW The anti religion comments on this blog have the ring of the neo-marxist philosophy which is behind the Green philosophy. so maybe you shouldn’t go that way or you will get in a knot 🙂
The Green’s is a political philosophy which I sum up as “Science in the service of the State ” not science for the pursuit of knowledge. But I stand to be corrected.
In New Zealand where the news media are confirmed “Climate Change ” philosophy believers.
I hope it is not censored.
Gobsmacked. Pardon me while I go weep for a few minutes.
The journalists that wanted to change the world must be very happy now.
