Mark Steyn: It's settled; climate circus was a fairy tale
Orange County Register ^ | December 19, 2009 8:01 PM | By MARK STEYN

Posted on 12/20/2009 8:29:56 PM PST by Forgiven_Sinner

The best summation of the UN climate circus in Denmark comes from Andrew Bolt of Australia's Herald Sun: "Nothing is real in Copenhagen – not the temperature record, not the predictions, not the agenda, not the 'solution'."

Just so. Reuters, for example, carried a moving account of the speech by Ian Fry, lead negotiator for Tuvalu, the beleaguered Pacific island nation soon to be under water because of a planet-devastating combination of your SUV and unsustainable bovine flatulence from Vermont farms.

One of the few things that can be counted on in this world is Steyn’s innate ability to step up to the occasion....though he *has* made a few clinkers of late.

I hope he can keep us, or at least me, laughing as we’re marched off to the gulags.

the IPCC accredited 45,000 delegates to a space that accommodates 15,000 – but don't worry, when it comes to recalibrating the planet's climate, I'm sure they'll run the numbers more carefully

Steyn is the best.

“Hey there! Please add me to you Steyn ping list.”

I don’t maintain a Steyn ping list; I think knews_hound does. I copied his; what I could see of it.

Pinging the Steyn list .

Thanks for the Ping  Forgiven Sinner and a special thanks to JLS for mentioning that;

Steyn is guest hosting for Hannity this week on TV

Steyn is subbing for Rush on Wednesday.

Since this column is essentially the same one as Fridays, I will ping just this one.








On or off, please FReepmail me.

Cheers,

I hate it when I mistakenly ping 500 people TWICE.

Grrrr.

I always get a 502 proxy error when I post to the Steyn list.

I have no way of knowing, but do all members get pinged even though there is an error?

Just wondering.....

Sorry for the double ping everyone.

Cheers and Merry Christmas everyone,

knewshound

When I get a 502 proxy error I check My Comments to see if the post went out. Thus far it always has.

Thanks for the heads up on the guest hosting. I’ll set the DVR, and should be driving during the Rush stand-in.
