  1. UN CLIMATE CHANGE DELEGATES SUPPORT PRANK PETITION TO BAN WATER & DERAIL U.S. ECONOMY
    Posted on December 9, 2010 at 7:24pm by Meredith Jessup Print

    I’ve got to hand it to the folks at the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow. They‘ve come up with a creative new way to expose the scientific ignorance of many of today’s climate change fanatics.

    In a Penn & Teller-style prank, CFACT asked attendees of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Cancun, Mexico, to sign two different petitions. The first asked participants to support the purposeful destabilization of the United States economy:
    And to prove that some people will sign anything that has the right buzz words — think “global effort,“ ”international community,“ and ”planetary” — COP 16 participants were asked to sign in support of a ban on a dangerous chemical compound: water.

    The video experiment helps us draw one of two conclusions: a) these people are absolutely clueless, or b) they really do hate water. Either way, who really thinks these people should be considered “experts” when it comes to science?

    I'm surprised this old gag still works. Who hasn't heard of the high-school kid who started it years ago?
     
  3. And by gag you mean the climate change gag that's been uncovered for what it is, a redistribution of wealth.

    Now if these ignorant punks would learn to ask questions when presented with unfamiliar material, perhaps they could start competing with the Chinese who are kicking their asses.

    Gag? The ice has stopped melting, then?

    True enough re paragraph 2.
     
  5. Cancun temps plunge to 100-year record low -- during 'global warming' summit!

    Irony alert: The unusually chilly global-warming summit

    Cancun is hosting the U.N. conference on man-made climate change — amid record cold temperatures

    Best Opinion: Wall St. Pit, Independent

    The irony: As negotiators from nearly 200 countries met in Cancun to strategize ways to keep the planet from getting hotter, the temperature in the seaside Mexican city plunged to a 100-year record low of 54° F. Climate-change skeptics are gleefully calling Cancun's weather the latest example of the "Gore Effect" — a plunge in temperature they say occurs wherever former Vice President Al Gore, now a Nobel Prize-winning environmental activist, makes a speech about the climate. Although Gore is not scheduled to speak in Cancun, "it could be that the Gore Effect has announced his secret arrival," jokes former NASA scientist Roy W. Spencer.

    The reaction: ClimateGate was "bad enough," says Duncan Davidson in Wall Street Pit, but Cancun's weather is particularly "inconvenient" for global-warming alarmists. It's a reminder that global temperatures have "flatlined" despite rising carbon dioxide levels, "which is decidedly chilling against the concept of hampering economic growth to limit Co2 emissions." Grow up, says Tony Juniper in The Independent. "Sure, it's cold outside," but "the trend data show that the world is warming, that the climate is changing, and that the release of greenhouse gases is the cause." The longer we use every cold snap as an excuse to put off reducing emissions, "the bigger the risk we run. Tick tock, tick tock."

    Moscow did better: warmest November in 130 years.

    I win.
     
  7. (EDENHOFER): "But one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy. Obviously, the owners of coal and oil will not be enthusiastic about this. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore"

    You must pray to the Mayan goddess before you can even think about winning: "Ixchel was not only goddess of the moon, but also "the goddess of reason, creativity and weaving. May she inspire you -- because today, you are gathered in Cancun to weave together the elements of a solid response to climate change, using both reason and creativity as your tools.". And btw, please ignore the 100 year record lows we're having, Ixchel is pissed off about not getting the money that is rightfully hers.
