Dems Cancel Copenhagen Trip

Dems Cancel Copenhagen Trip



Socializing another huge chunk of the U.S. economy is more important than saving the planet:

Senator John Kerry, Democrat of Massachusetts and chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, told colleagues on Saturday that Democrats could not send a delegation to the United Nations climate change conference in Copenhagen.

“It doesn’t look like we’re going -– not as a delegation,” Mr. Kerry told colleagues as a he left the Senate chamber after a vote on a package of spending measures. “Harry needs the people here on health care.”

Harry is the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, and to say that Mr. Reid needs his caucus members in Washington for the health care debate is an understatement.

Several senators had hoped to attend the conference, including Barbara Boxer of California, the chairwoman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, and many members of her panel.

I would too! I have a nuke physicist in the family,-when he talks, I listen.

I was only teasing you BTW-I loved your description of him.

>> ...a huge ice sculptured Polar Bear there, which is suppose to slowly melt down by the closing ... This to reflect their extinction of course. Wonder what they’ll use to melt that down....

They will use a high-capacity kerosene heater. This will reflect the need to warm our houses in view of a Dalton-minimum level of cold in the wake of little to no sunspots. <<

If we go into a Dalton Minimum no amount of CO2 save 1,000 times as much or more is going to keep us any warmer. Heat inputs far more influential than hypothetical heat reflecting back to earth due to greenhouse gas after first bouncing off the earth...

Water Vapor is still the #1 green house gas, just ask any one in a dry desert about night vs. day. Or someone in a moist climate with the same latitude the same question.

Weather forecast: Copenhagen

http://weather.yahoo.com/denmark/hovedstaden/copenhagen-554890/

Tomorrow night: Snow showers in the evening will give way to a mixture of rain and snow late at night. Low 33F. Winds SSW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of precip 80%. A slushy accumulation of less than one inch.
Wednesday: Cloudy with rain and snow. Temps nearly steady in the mid 30s. Winds ESE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of precip 80%.
Thursday: Rain and snow. Highs in the mid 30s and lows in the low 30s.
Friday: Windy, snow showers possible. Highs in the low 30s and lows in the upper 20s

Isn't “the one” due on Thursday?

“Thursday: Rain and snow. Highs in the mid 30s and lows in the low 30s.
Friday: Windy, snow showers possible. Highs in the low 30s and lows in the upper 20s

Let's hope it's also windy -

Of course, they are aware that Denmark winters are not as severe as most people would suppose. Nor do they normally get that much snow - at least, that's what my Copenhagen friend - born and raised - says.

However, if the temp would just drop a couple degrees Thursday and Friday, and the wind kick it up a notch - it should make for some great photos - like those deep freezes of past goreBull warming conferences.

It was announced yesterday that the Democrat Senate group that was going - has changed their minds. (Maybe some new revelations they don't want to be in the line of fire of? The Goracle backed out at the first announcement of the 'stolen' emails. Then the TOTUS backed out until the very end - and now this group of Uber Socialists...which included BBoxer.

I can't see them giving up a luxury free trip to shout their propaganda.

“Harry needs the people here on health care.”

Now that they've got the EPA to impose the take over plans that they hoped to get through with this goreBull hype (Cap and Trade) = by passing the Congress - they can stay home and concentrate on the other take over bill, the "health" bill.

DING!

We’re in the depths of the deepest, longest solar minium in 100 years. Here’s some undisputed science for ya — deep solar minima are associated with cold weather spells and active solar maxima with warm ones. Look up the Maunder minimum and the Medieval maximum. All the so-called Global Warming data was collected during the Modern Maximum, and era of quite high solar maxima, which ended in 2004 at the end of the last solar cycle (#23).

I emailed my bro the URL you requested he check out. He responded he would check it out. He told me to wait, then indicated that he was currently doing a bit of work on these issues. It actually surprised me a bit, because usually he tells me he does not a second to spare.
Then again, every scientist, professor etc., planet wide are probably getting on board at this point, and doing one hell of a lot of emailing and URL exchanges etc..
When he response I will do my best to give you what he had to say on the Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics article you shared.
I sometimes start work at 5AM. Some days such as today had to work till 11PM. The only time I get to spend quality time at this site as well as the tons of other things I check out is on days off.
So be patient.

As you indicated it just may be the case where she cut him out of the will. And yes I was being a bit dis-repectful to clowns.

But if they did what you suggest they would not have the joy of knowing they are polluting the skies, and burning up a lot of jet fuel.

I didn’t take your comments as teasing. Some of us are pretty fortunate to have family members that fit the descriptions given.

You got that right. Four years is entirely to long a period for the current administration and switch on the Hill on both sides. They are running rough shod over our country with no sense of honestly or well meaning toward trying to preserve this Republic. They will destroy our living standards and remove our freedoms without blinking an eye, and rob our wallets clean.
Stalin would have been so proud of them.

I agree. I have an interesting family as well. I just really liked their job description. (I’m a writer-tend to hone in on those things!)

"... send small teams of specially-trained bureaucrats with equipment that gives the politician a picture of what’s happening on the ground in Paris, Rome or Tahiti and two-way voice communications with natives on the ground."

I want the job in Tahiti, as long as my personal secretaries keep the outside wet bar fully stocked. And it is placed under a grove of palm trees. I'll settle for a 250K salary as well.
