How can everything have gone so wrong so quickly? A year ago, the prospects for successful climate change regulation were bright: a new US president promised positive re-engagement with the international community on the issue, civil society everywhere was enthusiastically mobilising to demand that world leaders "seal the deal" at Copenhagen, and the climate denial crowd had been reduced to an embarrassing rump lurking in the darker corners of the internet.
Now there seems to have been a complete reversal. Obama is held hostage by a deadlocked Senate, which will agree to neither domestic climate legislation nor US participation in a new legally binding treaty. Copenhagen was a disaster from start to finish, and even the face-saving Copenhagen accord is winning at best lukewarm support even from the countries that helped draw it up. To add to the sense of crisis, the climate denial lobby is suddenly resurgent, and the conspiracy theories that underlie the hacked climate emails controversy are in danger of becoming popular received wisdom.
These are dark times.

And the resignation of Yvo de Boer as executive secretary of the UN climate change secretariat today only compounds the sense of gathering crisis.
“The jig is up”.
I don’t feel bad at all.....
Climate sceptics are recycled critics of controls on tobacco and acid rain ( Alarmists crying out)
Crisis? What crisis?
Awwwww, poor Marky L doesn’t get to make his fellow Brits more miserable with more climate regs, bless his little ol’ heart!
Checking to see if I feel sorry for the schmuck. Mmmmmm, nope.
Climate scientists are losing ground against deniers' disinformation (Hussein tactics needed)
ROFL!
Dark times? If you've chosen a side and are a true believer. How about if you biased reporters resigned?

Wonderful!
Climate deniers such as those at the Tea Party in Nashville, Tennessee, have more influence on the debate than many countries represented at Copenhagen.
“Climate carnage” is the perfect issue for self-important bed wetters.
cause for celebration
“civil society everywhere was enthusiastically mobilising to demand that world leaders “seal the deal” at Copenhagen,”
So if one is to think global warming is bunk he would be called “uncivilized” by these buffoons?
New Climate Agency Head Tried to Suppress Data, Critics Charge
It appears that way...and it is that nasty teaparty crowd again...
IMHO...if I was involved with Climate Fraud...the potential for a French Revolution type of scenario...by the angry peasants..would have me changing my name..and moving to Australia...

"With Apologies to Rhymin Simon. The inspiration for CEIs experiment in skeptic rock is Paul Simon's Dylan-spoofing, cut-the-hype 60s protest ballad, A Simple Desultory Philippic (Or How I Was Robert McNamarad Into Submission), which is also available on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txE7RZ... . "
That may not be a safe place either...they were mucking with the data from there...and some peasants are upset ...
Oh, how the truth and reality hurt!!
