People are freezing in Moscow, Poland, Romania, and Germany.The trains between London and Paris are halted from the snow.Soldiers called up in ITALY to shovel snow! Will all the cold make " Believers" out of Global Warmers? Is it revenge on disbelieving Euro-Warmers from above? or will twisted Warmer logic claim that all that snow is proof of Global Warming? What say you America? Please opine with pithy comments anytime anytime anywhere (even snowy Copenhagen) if so inclined.And when answering, please No Bloviating for freezing Warmers! And remember, the spin stops here 'cause we're definitely looking out for you!2 feet for Christmas? You better watch outA storm likely to hit on Wednesday could make this " the snowiest Christmas ...in 30 years" - and be a pain for last-minute travelers.By JIM FOTI and BILL McAULIFFE, Star Tribune staff writers Last update: December 22, 2009 - 4:33 PMUnfortunately " denyers" get to freeze along with the Warmers in Minnisota!

Is the extreme cold weather hitting Europe a heavenly message to Warmers?
The Washington Times describes the scene at Copenhagen: Barack Obama is not used to being the guy not invited to a party.At the Copenhagen global warming conference, however, he found that not everyone wanted to hang with him.Our president can't take a hint.After Mr.Obama's bilateral meeting with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, the Chinese began sending lower-level functionaries to the multilateral meetings.A frustrated Mr.Obama pressed for another bilateral meeting, which was scheduled for Friday at 6:15 p.m.Other leaders of the countries known as the " BASIC" bloc were harder to pin down.The Obama team tried to schedule a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and was told he was at the airport readying to leave.Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva also was unavailable.South African President Jacob Zuma said there was no point meeting without India and Brazil.Then the Chinese pushed the bilateral meeting back to 7 p.m." We were told they were at the airport," a senior administration official said." We were told delegations were split up.We were told they weren't going to meet." So imagine Mr.Obama's surprise when he arrived for the bilateral powwow and found all four leaders in the room already in deep discussion." Are you ready for me?" he said with an " uncharacteristic edge" to his voice, according to a CBS News report." We weren't crashing a meeting," an Obama flack later explained defensively." We were going for our bilateral meeting." But that didn't stop him from walking in where he wasn't invited.Clearly, Mr.Obama learned a few things from his own White House party crashers.There was no chair at the table for Mr.Obama so he announced he would sit next to his " friend Lula," whose staff had to scramble to make room for the president and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.On Monday, Mr.da Silva used his weekly radio program to rebuke the United States for its stance at Copenhagen.---Even Barack's " friend" Lulu can't stand him.Oh my! What should *he* do?

Poor Obama, no world leader likes him at all.They avoid him.What should he do?

It's been almost a year now, why are liberals still blaming Bush instead of praising Obama's accomplishments?
Dear Folks, It does not take a movie "2012" or " The Day After Tomorrow" to teach ushow to protect our environment.It does not even take a brilliant person toknow how to conserve the Earth's resources.What's worse is that cunningpeople like the politicians are trying all their means to protect their ownpolitical interests when they know very well what's really going on...Through this climate summit, I finally have all the reasons to be suspiciousof the motives of the politicians.Anyway, who of them will care about thedestiny of our next or next next generation? If the Indian Ocean Tsunamiis still not a lesson big enough to wake these politicians up, then let thebigger one come and don't try to stop it!!! The pro-environmental activistswho tried to stop Indonesian timber workers from cutting down the foresttrees months ago should be saluted with the highest honour (thumbs up!).Anyway, we should never depend totally on politicians to improve our livingconditions because 96% of them have failed.The global implementation offree trade has never taken the interests of middle class or median employeeinto consideration.The notion of free trade only benefits the employers sincethey are now free to relocate their operations to most places in the world, beit manufacturing, banking or service sectors...When an employer is given achoice between hiring a highly-paid executive or a lowly-paid executive, whodo you think he will choose? The answer is very very obvious, IF both are ableto carry out similar tasks within the same time frame...Sometimes it seems that life may be better 20 or 30 years ago, though theliving standards then were not as high as the current times...What do youpeople think?

Hypocrisy of Copenhagen Climate Summit?

Jamie Oliver - which major political event did he cook for?
Fiona Harvey in London, Amy Kazmin in New Delhi, Geoff Dyer in Beijing and Jonathan Wheatley in Sao Paulo report in the London Financial Times yesterday:<< Copenhagen accord “a disaster” and “a great failure”.>> Cracks emerged on Tuesday in the alliance on climate change formed at the Copenhagen conference last week, with leading developing countries criticising the resulting accord.The so-called Basic countries – Brazil, South Africa, India and China – backed the accord in a meeting with the US on Friday night, and it was also supported by almost all other nations at the talks, including all of the biggest emitters.But on Tuesday the Brazilian government labelled the accord “disappointing” and complained that the financial assistance it contained from rich to poor countries was insufficient.South Africa also raised objections: Buyelwa Sonjica, the environment minister, called the failure to produce a legally binding agreement “unacceptable”.She said her government had considered leaving the meeting.“We are not defending this, as I have indicated, for us it is not acceptable, it is definitely not acceptable,” she said.There was even harsher criticism from Andreas Carlgren, environment minister of Sweden, current holder of the rotating European Union presidency, who proclaimed the Copenhagen accord “a disaster” and “a great failure”.http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/c9453654-ef2d-11de-86c4-00144feab49a.html? nclick_check=1

Does Al Gore times Barack Obama equal total fail, according to results at Copenhagen?
A Fraudster conman gets set up and knocked down.That makes all good people from all nations smile! The Australian Broadcasting Company reports today: An activist who was present at the final Copenhagen climate talks says China sabotaged the deal and ensured Barack Obama would shoulder the blame.While China's Premier Wen Jiabao insisted his government had played an " important and constructive" role, the talks in the Danish capital ended with a political accord rather than a binding agreement.Mark Lynas, who was attached to the Maldives delegation, described what he saw at the talks as " profoundly shocking"." I am certain that had the Chinese not been in the room, we would have left Copenhagen with a deal that had environmentalists popping champagne corks in every corner of the world," he wrote in the The Guardian." The truth is this: China wrecked the talks, intentionally humiliated Barack Obama, and insisted on an awful 'deal' so Western leaders would walk away carrying the blame." The Chinese delegate said no, and I watched, aghast, as Merkel threw up her hands in despair and conceded the point.Now we know why - because China bet, correctly, that Obama would get the blame for the Copenhagen accord's lack of ambition...." But I saw Obama fighting desperately to salvage a deal, and the Chinese delegate saying " no", over and over again." http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/12/23/2779498.htm---Poor wee man Obama.Picked on by bullies! About time, too! China repudiated what Mao did, it still has problems yes.But with Global Warming and Health Care and the great packages of graft called " stimulus" Obama has approached the Mao-ist tyranny.Obama's appointees are Mao devotees and Obama's " Chirstmas ObamaTree" features Mao decorations.Today, Obama is the more tyrant of a communist!

Is it hard not be happy because China publicly humiliated usurper Obama in Copenhagen on Climate Fraud?
Did the current weather directly or indirectly affect the beliefs and standings of the delegates in their decisions in the Copenhagen summit? In short, the summit was not all that successful.Did the current weather play a part in it?

Did the current weather frozen up the Copenhagen summit?
As seems to have been demonstrated in Copenhagen in which China vetoed almost everything.
