Copenhagen climate change summit to produce as much CO2 as an African country

It is being hyped as the summit that will save the planet. But, according to critics, next week's climate change talks in Copenhagen are more likely to cost the earth.

Researchers yesterday estimated that the bill for the 12-day jamboree will top £130million – and will generate as much greenhouse gas as an entire African country.

More than 15,000 delegates and 45,000 green activists are due to descend on the Danish capital over the next two weeks in a meeting described by British economist Lord Stern as 'the most important since the Second World War'.

They will be joined by at least 5,000 journalists – including 35 from the BBC alone – and 100 world leaders, including Gordon Brown and Barack Obama.

The UN has confirmed flights, rail and bus travel, food and energy from the conference will generate at least 41,000 tons of carbon dioxide.

Ping!

We’d have enough power for years if we could capture the hot air and gas which will be released by these so-called delegates.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

But these “scientists” want everyone in the civilized world to LIVE like an African country. To save the planet. While they live in mansions and take private jets everywhere of course.

Look, inherent in all of this is that the elite will be able to afford whatever carbon footprint they want. But then, hey, that’s what it’s like to be wealthy. More reason to work hard to get there.

Cutting funding for the UN would be my first order of business if I were Pres. The UN is nothing more than an intl. mafia and we taxpayers FUND this damn thing.

.....and still the state run media refuses to acknowledge the truth that all of the earth's cyclic warming and cooling spells are affected by only 3 things......

(1) Cosmic rays which when entering the atmosphere cause more water vapor to form (clouds); more clouds means more rain & more cooling.

(2) Solar sunspot activity in that with more sunspots, we have a stronger solar wind, more heat and the blocking of the cosmic rays. The net result is a warming cycle.

(3)Volcanic activity. The more ash into the atmosphere, the more sunlight and heat is blocked....cooling.

We are going into a serious cooling phase now unless the sunspot activity increases....so far this year, 0 sunspots with a continuing decrease of the magnetic flux on the sun which is why we have 0 spots now..

It's all about stealing more money from the workers of the world through crap & tax and the ponzi scheme: carbon credits with intentional depopulation of developing 3rd world nations, especially Africa.

Why? Because, the NWO knows we're going into a cooling phase and central and southern Africa will be prime areas to grow food then as there is great probability Europe will enter another mini ice age and so will 2/3 of the US. (Maunder Minimum).

What?! How dare you annoy us with these facts! Our esteemed and honest leaders are taking time out from their oversized homes to remind us that we are not doing enough to save the polar bear, the planet and AlGore’s rear end!

I am personally looking forward to a whole host of new taxes and regulations knowing that once I bow down and worship the all-knowing State, my life will be perfect bliss!

This just illustrates the utter hypocrisy of the global warming zealots. Certainly the conference could have been held by teleconferencing that would have saved the planet from all that carbon from trains, private planes and limos. However the bigwigs would rather have the rest of us live in hovels while they live the high life and tell us how we have disparaged the planet.
