Leaders, Activists Throwing in the Towel in Copenhagen

COPENHAGEN — Has Copenhagen collapsed?

That seems to be the growing sentiment inside the city's Bella Conference Center, where officials, environmentalists and even delegates to the international climate conference began streaming out Friday evening. What began with excitement and anticipation two weeks ago ended Friday night with disappointment and anger for thousands.

"This is a sad day for my country," said Mama Konate, chief delegate from the West African nation of Mali. "We have worked very hard to reach this agreement. And now it seems over. Without a deadline, I don't know if we will ever finish."

The conference, the largest of its kind, attracted scientists, activists and human rights supporters from every corner of the globe, who believe that without a climate accord limiting greenhouse gases, glaciers will melt, oceans will rise and the weather will go so warm it could wipe out 50 percent of the Earth's species. Until Friday, they saw Copenhagen as their last chance to stop it.

"You can scapegoat the process. That wasn't it. It was the unwillingness of people to move around big issues: China on verification, the U.S. on deeper emission cuts," said the head of an NGO that does relief work in Africa.

At least the state-run media isn't blaming Copehagen's collapse on Bush!

Climategate may have been buried by the MSM, but its impact is being felt. The scam is being unraveled.

All these elites get to jet off for two weeks to talk, network, stay in nice hotels, get paid by American taxpayers (even UN delegates from foreign countries), have sex with prostitutes, eat the best food for free - everything is free, and redo their commie oaths. Nice work if you can get it.

The amount of gas released by attendees at this conference is numerically equal to that amount of gas released by all industrial nations since 1850.

What? You mean a little thing like fraud, destroying RAW data, forging new data, ignoring substancial data points that do not support your theory - is somehow ‘bad science’?

Leave it to an idiot like Obama to be the last Rat to leave a ship that not only hit an icebert, but then got torpedoed, has a plague, has been set afire and is already completely submerged.

This was the best the Democrats had to offer? His only qualification for the office of POTUS is, has been and forever will be that he is half-black. And even at that level of qualification, is woefully inadequate among his peers.

You worked very hard at producing nothing and asking for everything, Mama. But at least you got a nice vacation out of it. Maybe you should have a snowball fight with a rival tribe or something before you head home.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if they got snowed in at the airport trying to leave the AGW conference? (or for that matter, trying to land in a D.C. blizzard)
