The Copenhagen meeting
 
So, am I understanding it correct that many of the "climate change elite" that advertise reducing carbon emissions the most (at least in theory) flew their private planes into Denmark and had limo's and towncars to transport them around Copenhagen? Even if every person there took public air to get there, think of the thousands and thousands of gallons of airplane fuel used :eek:

If the leaders of the conference REALLY wanted to show how freaking green they were, there are tools such as Go-To-Meeting that are used in the corporate world that work just fine. The enviro-elite seem to be the example of "do as I say, not as I do".

I wish I had been there.
I hear Danish chicks are hot.
Oh, and yeah, I might have shown up for one of those conference
things too.

I understand approx. 140 aircraft and about 1000 limos. :p

Just another war on an imaginary enemy. War on terror, war on global
warming. Not much difference as both are bleeding the taxpayer and playing
on our fears to justify. Lots of money and power at stake here.

Create a "crisis" and then get money to "solve" it.

So, you're suggesting that the "War on Terror" is a gov't contrived farce, and that the Republicans a capable of creating such things as well? Although, I would see the "Global Warming" issue as a far lesser evil, as no one is being killed in the process.

Global warming my ass.

We're all safe now as David Letterman said they are going to put a cap on the number of hot women Tiger Woods is allowed to have :D

Now with the EPA deciding they have power over even more of the economy (EVERYTHING generates CO2) Copenhagen is basically a sidenote.

Doesn't ANYONE have a problem with this power grab?
