AGW Today: Frequent Flyer Miles, Not Change, Are On The Wind

I really need to change my tune regarding climate change. As the saying goes, I'm doing it wrong. If I were a True Believer, I might be able to join in on all the world trotting trips!

If international confabs held last week in New York and Pittsburgh produced anything worth noting in the area of climate change, it is this: Don't expect the world to reach a new agreement over controlling greenhouse gases in time for the United Nations climate talks in Copenhagen in December. Consensus is not around the corner, and the U.S. is not the only nation struggling with this important but difficult issue.

Pittsburg, NYC, Copenhagen. Traveling all over! Shame about the the consensus, you know, fake science, dying out, but, how do I get in on this cool excuse to travel the world?

U.N. climate talks kicked off Monday in Bangkok with leaders calling for delegates to break the deadlock over a global warming deal and warning that failure to act would leave future generations fighting for survival.

Bangkok, too? And then, next year, we have a big one in Queensland, Australia! I'd love to go there and surf and snorkel. And Singapore! Rotterdam! And all the other cool places they visited this year. And will certainly visit next year, starting with Boulder, Co.

Then we have all those cool places they have held conferences in past years, such as the exotic vacation spot of Bali. All us skeptics and deniars get is a conference in Chicago in 2010.

But, hey, I can make up data, too, if someone will pay me to fly around the world. I can ignore natural variabilities if it gets me somewhere I can surf. I have no problem with a little scaremongering to get some frequent flyer miles. I'd sell my soul for a little $$$$. How 'bout you?

Oh Christ. You mean they have to talk about the significant problem of climate change from a fixed position?

What do you care about the travel since you don't believe in climate change anyway?

There's a marvellous article in the Daily Mail today on my side of the Pond about our elected representatives away on climate change jollies:

Check out the picture of Lord Lea pushing money into an exotic dancers clothes in Fiji. Classic.

And whose money is he spending? Ours!

You ungrateful peasant! Don't you know they do it to save us! They sacrifice by going to all these cool places so we don't need to. Who care how much CO2 they are generating , since they are doing it for a good cause. In fact we should all go back to living at 18th century standards so they can keep doing these important jet setter trips the world so desperately needs to be saved from the pest known as humanity that infests it.

I swear that I often wonder if the crazy ones aren't those that like me refuse to simply accept the cult of the left, all the hypocrisy, self absorption and obsessesion that comes along with it, and went to work for the government doing fun stuff like jetting around the world’s exotic places complaining about others being able to jet around the world. Are we maybe the crazy ones for trying to fight the madness and not simply embracing it? Since you also get to shed any feelings of regret or guilt when you become a progressive, you have to admit this has a powerful lure..

to help build a hybrid sports car in Finland

Nixon supposes the UAW has already been bought and paid for with the GM scam to prevent any complaints about American workers not being used for this worthy project in wasting money.

And speaking of Gore, here is an article about a European company he has interests in receiving $529 million of US taxpayer funding to build $90,000 hybrids. Where are all those that saw boogeymen between Cheney and Haliburton on this one?

"Former Vice President Al Gore's campaign to save the planet from global warming has netted him a Nobel Peace Prize, an Academy Award and now $529 million in taxpayer money.

The federal government has loaned $529 million to Fisker Automotive Inc., a small car company backed by Gore to help build a hybrid sports car in Finland that will sell for about $89,000, the Wall Street Journal reported."

Shhh William, you'll wake AlGore and Bonny Prince Charlie (the Once and Never King), both of whom seem to be sleeping off the effects of the sumptuous dinner and drinks afforded on this airline.
