Delegates to the global climate conference in Copenhagen sat in stunned silence today as President Obama solved the global warming crisis with a single 25-minute speech.
“While the challenges we face may seem insoluble,” the Nobel laureate said, “the solution is actually quite simple. It’s historically reliable. It works every time it’s sincerely tried.”
“Basically, the problem is that poor nations are broke,” Obama explained, “and rich nations don’t want to throw their money down a totalitarian rathole, into the hands of tyrants who see this treaty as a gold mine and who have no intention of reducing carbon emissions. Since we need trillions of dollars to fund development of speculative green technologies, the only answer is for the poor nations to get rich fast.”

From your mouth to Obama's ears. If only it were true. sigh…

He probably did say that…he's surely thinking it. I love how China didn't like the proposal until we pledged $100 billion (a 100 billion here, a hundred billion there and pretty soon…never mind!)
What I found odd is the the Chinese seemed happier once we pledged that cash. But here's my question…aren't we talking about THEIR cash? I mean, we don't have it…won't for hundreds of years. So obviously we'll need to borrow it…and the Chinese are the only ones willing to lend…cause we're running this place like The Donald runs casinos…with OPM…so I guess that's the point, that $100 billion will put us "over the top".
Learn to say “???????” and/or “?????” and learn them fast! (go ahead, look it up)

Barack Obama's speech disappoints and fuels frustration at Copenhagen
Bummer…and/or…excellent! The problem may indeed be real but the "solutions" offered…not so much

"Radaractive" has a good posting on Climategate and beyond (new Russian evidence of CRU data tampering, etc). Disclaimer: He tacked on one of my short articles at the end. (:D)

The sad truth is that none of this would have happened if we'd listened to our mothers when we were kids. I can't count how many times i was told by her in the winter…"shut the door, are you trying to heat the whole neighborhood?"
Silly boy that I was, I assumed that she was exaggerating. Turns out she understated the issue…but I was young and foolish/carefree…who knew? Mom did…and she tried to stop us

Ho-hum.
Here’s another boring article about “Climategate” ; this one focuses on the way various pressures were applied to prevent the publication of sceptical views in the “peer-reviewed literature”.
After Messrs. Jones and Mann threatened a boycott of publications and reviews, half the editorial board of Climate Research resigned. People who didn’t toe Messrs. Wigley, Mann and Jones’s line began to experience increasing difficulty in publishing their results.
How to Manufacture a Climate Consensus, by Patrick J. Michaels, former professor of environmental sciences at the University of Virginia.
I am confident that Barack Obama, Al Gore, and the Climate Change crowd will ignore articles like this.
Wonder how the Chinese and the Indians see this stuff? Think maybe they have noticed this little brou-ha-ha?

At the rate we are throwing (non-existent) money away for flim-flam chicanery and Ponzi schemes, the faster we, too, will be "under water." (Actually, I think that we are already there. Glub, glub.)
Extortionists like Mugabe and Chavez have destroyed once-vital economies and impoverished their own people while feathering their own personal aeries.

"If, in five decades, there's still a climate crisis, we can all get together, kick in an equal share per capita, and hire someone to fix it."
Works for me. (Anthropogenic) climate change denier that I am, I'm all for a "wait and see" approach…fully confident that there will be nothing to see. See?
Oh, and: ELEVENTEEN!!!

You must be right about the speech because Hugo C. comes up right after Obama and says he still smells the sulpher,(in reference to Satin), could he be right? On another note… Nancy Pelosi takes her stupidity global by announcing she's in Copenhagen for a "green" jobs summit. Huh? The whole place has become a circus with Obama, Pelosi and Gore the clowns.

Allow me to combine this thread with the last one-OK?
Perhaps Obama would have gone over better had he
plagiarized" the late Fred Rogers by donning a cardigan and then singing, "It's a beautiful day in the "Global" neighborhood!"?

If I said the first thing that came to my mind upon following the above link, I may come within nanometers of being perceived as unnecessarily harsh.
I assert that "When will Americans say enough is enough?" is actually very much ON topic.

EXCELLENT OLA!!! Obama tried to pull a "snow job" at Copenhagen but the big boys, (China among others), ain't playing his game!
I would say they "slapped his ears back", but that would take some slapping!!!
PS: It started snowing here in INDY about 5 hours ago.

Shelly, we're on the road between Atlanta and Knoxville, TN. We left 44 degrees and are heading into snow. Seems that the line is about at Knoxville and north. One inch in Maryville and 5 inches at Johnson City. We are 850 miles from home and enjoying the scenery!
Oh yes, and Obama MUST have solved the global warming crisis 'cause it's danged cold!

Someone please explain how the "deal" that Ben Nelson cut for Nebraska is Constitutional.

The Constitution has been relegated to mythological status for a while now.
I blinked and a Fundamental Transformation took place. I guess it was November 2008. And it really did happen just that fast; this is the Middlegame already.
My mother would surely sob, heartbroken, were she here to see what has happened to the USA.

Latest from Michael Goodwin. Some of the comments were interesting also.
I am afraid for my country.
I am afraid — actually, certain — we are losing the heart and soul that made America unique in human history. Yes, we have enemies, but the greatest danger comes from within.
Watching the freak show in Copenhagen last week, I was alternately furious and filled with dread. The world has gone absolutely bonkers and lunatics are in charge.

The other night I was perusing the US CODE while sitting in my comfy chair near the fireplace and sipping homemade hot chocolate. There's irony and satire and dadaism on every page. For example:
§ 201. Bribery of public officials and witnesses

Today [22DEC], in 1944, German Commander von Luttwitz asked the Americans, surrounded in Bastogne, to surrender. American Commander, General Anthony McAuliffe, acting commander of the 101st Airborne Division replied, “Nuts!”
