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.
Reports from the “war on climate change” show that all that keeps the wind mills turning is very large amounts of tax payer money being thrown at the blades of the wind mills.
Dems are trying to legislate a narrative change hurting the American people in the process! All Democrats and supporters here and abroad are trying to flood the media with hysterical climate change & global warming alarms and fabricated evidence to take the heat off Dem candidates in the November 2014 and 2016 elections due to the train wreck of Obamacare, ISIS inaction and immigration chaos! They shout, scream, cry, make outlandish claims and won’t stop till after the elections! Poor Democrats! The tsunami cometh!
Wonder if this has anything to do with the growing polar ice cap and the fact the the Antarctic Ice Shelf is larger than ever recorded. At any rate it’s a missed opportunity for Obama – no “selfies” or passing out CD’s full of his speeches – not to mention that Michelle Ma Belle won’t be able to model “his” latest living room curtain dress….
If national leaders are out of touch, the elitist, sociopathic, shadow government control freaks are from another planet. The media is controlled, and the master manipulators take things to a level that amounts tomgas lighting abuse on a global scale. It has come to the point that the conspiracy theories that I once laughed at make perfect sense now. I don’t doubt NATO nations are comprised of manchurian candidates anymore, the Opium Wars are alive and well except today the victims are the West. What does the guy who installed Radical Islam and Carter Part Deux have in common? The man who in a 2009 speech to his fellow elitists, Zbigniew Brzezinski said, “It Is Infinitely Easier to Kill a Million People than it is to Control Them”. He is on video and can’t deny what he said, as he has done with his other statements.

Brzezinski was an “advisor” for Obama’s campaign, apparently not on the books. Nothing is what it seems friends.

Well it’s not like they were peaceful before Brzez. (see 6 day war)
Ahh, hahahaha…..
Those on the left crave power, authority and money and they will say anything, do anything lie about anything to obtain all they can of each of those. The proof of what I say is right here, in front of us in the form of the utter [absence] of global warming.
It never was occurring, it is not now occurring nor will it ever occur, it is a myth designed to generate income and allow those on the left to lord over the rest of us.
One must realize that those on the left are utterly convinced that they are completely superior to the normal people out here and feel quite entitled to tell us what to do, how to do it and when we may actually do what they tell us while all the while they live like kings and queens on our taxes because us little people, why we owe them on the left. Yes sir, we owe them just because they are gracious enough to put up with us and allow us to serve them.
That is your typical leftist, your typical democrat, your ivy league elitist.

Margaret Thatcher was not of “the left” and she started the global warming scare.
Global warming is NOT a left vs right issue although the extreme right often tries to pretend it is.
Attempts to divide global warming sceptics on left vs right terms act to negate opposition to the global warming scare.
Richard
There you go again…
OK, then let’s divide global warming skeptics into The Have vs. The Have Nots, as regards to Common Sense, shall we?
commontater
You ask
NO! Let’s UNITE global warming skeptics in support of truth and, thus, in opposition to the global warming scare.
I don’t like concern trolls who look for excuses to ‘divide and rule’ global warming skeptics.
Richard
Uh o! Made a critical mistake. I criticized the left so inlieu of an audit by the IRS I am being moderated. Let us see if this morphs into censored!
At this point, only the shadow knows…

Some constructive criticism if I may, if you are employing a program that seems to contain, “black box software”, in that you do not know how it works, what to expect from it and apparently have found yourself either apologizing for or simply explaining, perhaps it is time to employ a different program. In fact you all may choose one that is more understandable or even may be made more user friendly for your application.
How often does this program select comments for review and what does this review consist of? These would be both logical and interesting places to begin an analysis of the performance of this software and allow you to figure out how it is thinking, or rather how it’s authors and users were/are thinking. That’s where it becomes interesting and fun.

Maybe the other nations heard that Michelle Obama was arranging the food.

“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.”
Well see, Obama doesn’t have that responsibility so he can attend the summit as long as he wants then play some golf and then do whatever.
So, what they’re saying is that the only countries showing up are the ones hoping for a handout from the funding that comes from ludicrous “cap and tax” penalties on the richer countries. Finally the larger countries are figuring out that they arent interested in funding the prosperity of third world countries at the expense of their own. I guess the lessons of the EU havent totally been forgotten?
Well, what are they going to talk about? Ways to cover up the highest recorded Antarctica ice on record? That’s a no go! Wait for a hot year, and then gripe about the end of the world. The timing is bad.
In a related story, Santa, the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny ax well as the great pumpkin, have all been asked to reduce their carbon foot luring by using Nass transportation when possible.
Climokleptomaniacs and eco-lunatics. Some words I am adding to my dictionary.
More and more each passing day the world’s leaders realize Barry Soetoro-Obama is an empty suit. His hyperbolic “climate change” rants and vilification of all who question him as “climate deniers” has many people IGNORING the self-aggrandizing man-child POSER POS POTUS.
MORE GOOD NEWS…GLOBAL WARMERS EAT EXCREMENT SANDWICH:
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The final report from a landmark federal study on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, found no evidence that chemicals or brine water from the gas drilling process moved upward to contaminate drinking water at a site in western Pennsylvania.
The Department of Energy report, released Monday, was the first time an energy company allowed independent monitoring of a drilling site during the fracking process and for 18 months afterward. After those months of monitoring, researchers found that the chemical-laced fluids used to free gas stayed about 5,000 feet below drinking water supplies.
I highly doubt it was the “first time”… fracing has been closely watched for decades all over the world.
What does fracking have to do with global warming?
The sun is by far the most influential climate driver. Next is water vapor. Air is also a significant contributor. This Axis of Evil must be destroyed, to save the planet. We must reduce the pollutants we know as air and water by at least 70%. The sun must also be stopped. Help save the earth. Eliminate sunlight, water, and air. These climate pollutants must be dealt with. The moon has a stable climate. Let’s follow the example of the moon.

What ever happened to all of the alarmist trolls on here. Gracey stands out as the lone voice in the wilderness.
Say goodnight Gracey. LOL
The village idiot is always the last one to leave !!
‘Global Warming / Climate Change / Climate Chaos’ is the ‘Shovel-ready jobs’ Obama talked about … until he didn’t …
You know, Obama said there will be NO boots on the ground in Iraq until he said there will be boots on the ground in Iraq.
Wrong Guy. Kerry says that. Obama says “I never said that”.
Obama has forced himself into irrelevancy with his phone and pen.
As much as a screw-up as Barack Obama is, there’s still people who just love them some Obama. I know some. It’s sickening.
Rather evident that Obama has become ‘shopworn’ on the global stage.
OH NO, MR. BILL! The new developing cottage-industry enterprise scamming the world with their “the sky is falling, the sky is FALLING!” daily histrionics dramaticus spiel has done gone bust! waah waah
Seriously, tho, at least we now know who in the world hasn’t lost their mind.
Anybody who’s genuinely worried about atmospheric carbon levels needs to first understand where they originate, and then, what to do about them. Do the math at minute 11 (of 22) and understand that six thousand times one billion equals six trillion cars worth of carbon per year. Actual cars on earth only amount to 400 million. Sorry Al. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpTHi7O66pI#t=860
It doesn’t matter in the US as the libs use the EPA as a job killer. The EPA is such a weapon for the left – they can shutdown just about anybody. So far, the EPA has cost us 7 million jobs under Obama’s regime and counting.
Suppose they Gave a War and Nobody Came
Anybody remember in the 1970’s scientists were warning of a coming catastrophic ice age?? The science wasn’t “settled” then, just like it is not “settled” now either. Just wondering if the cooling trend continues when they will switch to cooling alarmism. Just live people, and stop trying to control something that can’t be controlled!!
