Obama's Lonely Climate Summit – world leaders are staying home

Eric Worrall writes: The imminent climate summit in New York is rapidly turning into an utter embarrassment for President Obama and UN Secretary General Bank Ki-Moon, in addition to becoming a bit of a punishment round for national deputy leaders.

Aussie PM Tony Abbott today defended his decision not to hop on an earlier flight to America, so he could attend the UN climate conference in New York, because he has more important matters to attend to, such as running the country.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi  have also indicated they likely won’t attend the summit.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has indicated he will not be attending. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/canada-politics/stephen-harper-to-skip-un-climate-summit-183946998.html

Even Angela Merkel, President of über green Germany, will not be attending the UN climate summit. http://notrickszone.com/2014/05/26/merkel-snubs-new-york-ban-ki-moon-climate-conference-burying-the-global-climate-agreement/

Of course, things would probably have been totally different, if the summit organisers had guaranteed that attendees would definitely not have to sit through any more boring climate presentations by former Vice President Al Gore.

They have always laughed at him, they are just doing it openly now. Would you, if you were a world leader, stand idly by and watch your nation crumble because you wanted to placate obama’s commie/marxist agenda, along with that totally moronic imbecile running the most worthless. useless united nations? They are both losers, and have cost the world economies trillions of dollars. At some point the real world leaders will have to admit that marxism/communism is a losing ideology now that it has bankrupt the whole world.

The general consensus is, Emperor Puppethead is an idiot and his agenda is as dead as glowbull worming. Own the fail Obots.

I hear they are serving 24 oz. sodas at the conference….but you have to pay the breathing tax in New York first…you can get a CO2 credit if you show your climate summit ticket stub, though….

Several years ago this was a great science website, with intelligent technical commentary. Now it’s just full of political and clueless jerks. WUWT?

It almost seems that someone who uses drudgereport as a headline aggregator, or filter, if you will is not entitled to have an opinion on subjects dealing with science in your opinion. One wonders if you would aloow them to vote, however if I may, while I am not involved in science of global warming as I am not a climatologist one needs to realize that that subject is being debated in a political arena, not a sientific one.
I have worked at, for over thorty years, and retired from The Los Alamos National Laboratory and while my fields were engineering and health physics I know enough, even as a drudge user, to have a valid opinion on the subject.
It is clear that global, warming as caused by human activity is a sham and has always been one.
It is purely a political construct to allow a small group of elitists to control the activities of the many, who they feel are entirely inferior to themselves. Power and money, money and power, it always comes down to that and that, my friend is a shame and a sham.

@Eric – I do not know if anyone has noted this yet, but Moon’s name is Ban, not Bank,
And love it! They were afraid that if Algore was there, there would be an early freeze in NY! 😆

God does have a sense of humor, ask algoracle and his gorons. Whenever they are going to show the polar bear movie, God has it snow in that vicinity, even if it is 122degree in Phoenix, algore comes to town and the snow covers the cactus. UHhh al, maybe God is trying to tell you something, you idiot.

Part II
So much for saving the planet, when so much of the planet doesn’t bother to show …
Maybe they’ve got more important things to attend to … like life.
Desperate times call for desperate measures … the UN will have Leonardo DiCaprio to speak on the climate … that’s the ticket … have an actor speak … I’m sure he’s got the skill set needed … truth not needed … might be more entertaining than that failed divinity student/failed hack politician A. Gore.

When a president is a certified liar, there is no credibility or respect for him from anybody on earth.
Only the countries that will benefits with money will show up.

Mr Obama has just left the stage and the light’s just went out. Obama is now useless to the Democrat’s and the World. To many ” I want this, I did this, I am this”.

A narcissist never admits fault to anything, they tell a lie and believe in it as it was already the truth and that is how he lost all of the credibility in the world.

The first paragraph unintentionally says it all – UN Secretary General ‘Bank’ Ki-Moon.
You can take that to the bank. 🙂

The windfarms are shredding birds — including Bald Eagles — by the thousands and the solar collector in California is cooking to death 28 birds per hour, every day. The birds fly though the hot solar collector rays and their feathers burn off enough in seconds that they fall out of the sky to the ground, and die.
All subsidized by our own tax money to make scammers rich.

The earth, the animal world and mankind have survived many, many catastrophes over the eons; however, it is doubtful that they will survive liberal causes.

How are there even any slides left in ManBearPig’s presentation. All of the claims upon which he has built his global warming…..I mean…..climate change…… argument have been thoroughly debunked. He’s worse than wrong. He’s irrelevant.

September 16, 2014 11:08 am

That’s OK with o-blame-a. All he cares about is talking in any venue. He could care less if any one was there and God forbid – actually listening to him because in a day or so, his little helpers would be out trying to explain what he really meant by what he said in his speech.

So many so called scientists admitted that they lied with their data collected and manipulated the results to show a worming trend, need I say more, only the liars believe in their own lies. The kids in schools are being brainwashed to believe in lies and that is a pattern the democrats wanted you to follow, do not believe a word that is coming from a democrat, most likely it is a lie.

NEWS FLASH FROM THE LAND OF FRAUD HOCKEY STICKS
Prime Minister of Fraud , Mr. Michael Mann de-means the sumit by useing his ill gotten gains from fake data obtained with the use of U.S. tax payer money via his hideing of the decline.
Reports of his much worse case of fear of Mark Stein obtaining his orginal fudged data has Mr. Mann in a bad case of “Climate Gate Combat Breakdown”.
Mr. Mann will not be attending due to hin not being able to obtain tax payer paid Obama Care.
End News Flash.
In other news, CO2 is a plant food, eat up.

Obama won’t mind orating his delicately prepared propaganda speech because he loves the sound of his voice echoing off of walls in an empty hall.

Anthropogenic Climate Change is junk science. Normal people don’t take it seriously.
Why is it that Barack Obama is always the last one to figure things out?

If Obummer were only as committed to the best interests of our nation as he is to his agenda, he might have been great. Obviously that’s one he k of an -if- .As it is he will be recorded in the annals of history as one of, if not, the, worst American Presidents. We need to get the adults back in charge of the Senate and a real leader into the White House. Get out the VOTE!
