This WUWT story from two days ago: Obama’s Lonely Climate Summit – world leaders are staying home went viral after being linked to by the Drudge report, earning WUWT its best performing day ever with 345,393 views.
It seems to have evoked a response.
Eric Worrall writes:
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon today responded, to reports that a number of key world leaders would not be attending the upcoming climate summit in New York.
According to Ban,
“…even though the leaders from India, China and Russia will not be able to participate in the meeting, there are “other means of communications, ways and means of having their leadership demonstrated in the United Nations.”
I suggest, Mr Moon, that you and President Obama are currently experiencing a sample of that “other means of communication” you mentioned.
JFW. Bank-on-it-I’m-a-Moonie is a self deluding, low born cleric of the church of global warming lies. Will no one rid us of this turbulent priest? Apologies to Schama History of Britain p. 142. “What miserable drones and traitors have I nourished and brought up in my household, who let their lord be treated with such shameful contempt by a low-born cleric?”
The UN was founded after the fall of the axis powers to fight the axis powers.
Then it followed the blueprint of the Fabians “Shape Of Things To Come” (H G Wells spilled the beans in that one, he was a Fabian himself and thought, hey I can make a dime by just publishing the secret plans of my fellas) – trying to achieve military domination of the globe.
JFK in a speech 1961 or so still proposed handing over all nuclear weapons worldwide to the UN.
The military power plan fell apart due to the genocide the UN inflicted upon Katanga in 1961 though. Western supporters were appalled.
The UN agonized for a decade, (completely shriveling in the run up to the 6 day war), then, finally, in 1971, rolled out their new strategy of scaring the world into obedience by means of enviro-pseudoscientific scares, inspired by Silent Spring and the CoR’s Limits To Growth, and had Maurice Strong cart NGO’s to the Stockholm summit and use them as controlled opposition to wip souvereigns into obedience.
Ban Ki-Moon is only the latest executor of that strategy.
“I will link arms with those marching for climate action,” Ban told a press conference. (Grauniad)
I wonder if he’ll link arms with celebrity Leonardo di Caprio, Al Gore, oe perhaps the mild-mannered Quincy Saul, columnist for Truthout, who shared his rallying cries for the mob mustering up for the march in an op ed “Like a Dull Knife” on September 16.
The links I previously posted to this article, as well as to the People’s Climate March were pulled from my previous comment on this gathering. Again, I suggest review of the 1000+ participating organizations in the People’s Climate March, but you’ll have to use your search engine to get to their website, or to 350 org.

Ah, we wouldn’t censor a link to The People’s Climate March or would we?
Other forms of communication? Australia may have to look into that. We’ve been applying hints with a sledge hammer but it doesn’t seem to be getting through Ban Ki Moonbeam’s thick skull…
Prior to election the Australian PM said “global warming is crap”
After the election he said there would be no more tolerance for “socialism masquerading as environmentalism”
The last Globalist Warbler talk-fest we were forced to attend the Australian delegates lounged around in T-shirts and thongs, gorging on snacks and did nothing other than snigger at the believers.
The new government then sacked the climate council and repealed the carbon tax.
The “renewable” energy target is now being targeted and all new subsidy farming scams are now in doubt.
But the UN kleptocrats still can’t take the hint. The world is no longer their stage and it is time for some sorry players to have their ignoble exits. The rubenesque diva is practising her scales and the buses are warming up.
For every Globalist Warbler the outer darkness now awaits. Given their proven skills at wailing and gnashing of teeth the adjustment should not prove too difficult…
Well done Anthony. Thank you for providing an opportunity for so many to provide their express their frustration with the lack of moral courage shown by so many in Politics, the Academia and the MSM who have supported this unsubstantiated, failed hypothesis of CAGW.
Just a bit disappointed though that Australia wasn’t mentioned with the other countries rejecting this rubbish.
Also, well done to Mark Steyn. Lets hope he has the full measure of success to which he is entitled.
there are “other means of communications, ways and means of having their leadership demonstrated in the United Nations.”
Is this a threat?
While his words imply a threat the UN is only as powerful as those that make it seem powerful. Ban Ki-Moon may have just stepped in his own milk!
So it’s true when they say, “We have ways of making you talk.”
“there are “other means of communications, ways and means of having their leadership demonstrated in the United Nations.”
He must be referring to ’email’. That ban Ki-Moon, he`s so hip.
Twitter – they’ll tweet their leadersip in…
oops – “leadership”, although what I wrote may be more on point..
better latte than never.
More environmentally friendly than attending a word bingo conference too.
no way to email…they’re sexting
vee have ways of making you listen
Well, the message is clear: the fad of wringing your hands and peeing a puddle over climate change is now passe’. Also, our poor hand-puppet of a president is not going to revive the fad and reap benefits in the fall elections. Obama’s humiliation is the price he pays for not being able to see what all of the other chiefs can see: global warming is history.
ah, “hand-wringing puddle-peeing.
I have a new favorite phrase. thanks for the inspiration.
I would be very surprised if Putin turns up. He would not want to give Obama a leg up.
In an opinion piece called “Let’s Reject the ‘Inevitable’” (yeah right inevitable), Mark Bittman in the NY Times mentions this Sunday’s “People’s Climate March” in New York City as being more important than the World Leaders Climate Summit. Since the Climate summit is a dud, this piece seems like an attempt to downplay it.
This is the first I have heard of the “People’s Climate March”, is there any other news on the it?
LOL
Sorry just the term “People’s Climate March”, people marching for the climate sounds absurd. I can see protesting dumping of nucleur waste near your community, or a factory polluting a river in your state, or lack of jobs, but protesting government not changing the climate is only possible in the reality of the insane.
Apparently it will be a good sized march, a friend of mine and Mass Sierra Club officer or whatever is going and said the buses are sold out. A lot of organizations are involved. Of course, there may be a number of people looking for a cheap one-day shopping trip in NYC.
Sadly, the day of the march will be fairly warm, at least it’s being held between cool stretches of weather. There will be some freeze warnings up the next couple of nights in New Hampshire. We may wind up with a good foliage season this year. That’s worth staying home for!
Now it all falls into place: Obama goes to NYC and leads the parade in the vain hope of mobilizing public sentiment for the elections this fall. One problem- no other world leader will be there. Wonder how this will play in the media.
Perhaps it is as simple as nobody really wants to spend time in New York. If the summit were to be held in Las Vegas they probably would have a full house of participants.
In Business, it is called “Don’t call us, we’ll call you”. And I bet they are both waiting by their phones.
Congratulations Mr. Watt! Your work has value.
No question.. And a few more good men, like Steve M, are saving the worlds climate science and climate history from destruction.
Can anyone tell me who or how the UN is financed? I suspect it is the poor bloody taxpayers in the democr
acies, the U. S. A. in particular. David.
iirc, the USA pays 25% (33%?) of its budget. There is no incentive to be frugal.
We borrow the money from China to give to the UN.
“WUWT story from two days ago….went viral” “Visitors:179,742”
Well, as someone once said, ‘Everything is relative’
“Everyone has a different opinion on what classifies as “viral.” Marketers tend to use it in a different way that regular folks do. While regular Internet users might describe a viral piece of content to be something like the Gangnam Style music video, businessmen and marketers might call a simple infographic or discount a viral sensation if it gets shared automatically just a few times.”
http://webtrends.about.com/od/howtoguides/a/Viral-Online.htm
What does it have to say about trolls?
I’d call that mucho viral for the snorefest that is climate change.
Perhaps you can inquire about the number of visitors to SkS or RealClimate (remember them)? or Greg Laden’s site (what’s that URL, I’ve forgotten). Then we can apply “everything is relative.”
[Reply: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/01/16/greg-laden-liar ~mod.]
I agree: relative to blogs, the WUWT story went viral.
Reblogged this on gottadobetterthanthis and commented:
Because it matters.
Are the missing countries in the ocean?
The simultaneous “inability” to attend of so many world leaders…. On a matter of such dire world import?
I love the Moon-spin. Rather than admit the leaders have better things to do, he turns it into a “it’s not their fault” moment.
part of the scarcity is likely to be the lame-duck status of O. His rapidly declining popularity all by itself is a huge factor: No one wants to be seen with him.
I’d go but my brother-in-law is in town for the week.
I’ve set up tee times, hair appointments and a manicure.
I hate to miss the meeting but I’m just unable to tear myself away.
Oops, for a minute I thought that post was from President Obama.
Mrs. “Climate Chancelor” Angela Merkel has no time, too. She must save the Euro.
“Ain’t nobody got time for ‘dat!” – Vladimir Putin
I think we should encourage Dumbo and the Far East version of Moonbeam to go play together in their little clubhouse. At least they are out of our hair for a short while being idiots doing idiot things to those of us gassing up our cars to get to work in order to support their little habits and obsessions.
Since there are other means of communication, why not cancel these summits altogether? Has anyone done a formal calculation of the carbon footprint of the thousands of people who arrive at such summits.
More views on WUWT means more people coming out of the fog of propaganda
Perhaps the Australian government could persuade Barry Humphries to send Sir Les Patterson, the charming, diplomatic and abstemious High Representative to the Court of St James…
(For those of an American persuasion who may not have seen this character – I’m sure he’s on Youtube somewhere – just make sure there are no children or elderly relatives of a nervous disposition in the room…)
oh 🙂 ROFLMAO! excellent suggestion.
and on “other means of comms”
well TA made it very clear NO climate crud up for discussion at the G20 in qlkd later this year either
reckon thats crystal clear!
[“qlkd” is Queensland? .mod]
While Sir Les Patterson was designed to appeal to rough house humour types, I recommend the character Sandy Stone for a much more subtle representation of thoughts and emotions from the creative brain of Barry Humphries. Sandy Stone is a can of worms portrayed with brilliance.
“Let them use Teleconferencing.”
Let ’em call the whole thing off.
That’d be better.
Better yet, “Teleconnections”…

Yeah, in England it involved two finger. In USA I think it is the middle finger only.
