The Copenhagen conference begins and the carbon footprint from a mere few days will be that of a medium sized European city. Thousands of extra limousines hired throughout Europe, airlines having to land their planes in Sweden because the Danish airports are so busy, and millions of dollars that could go to the starving in Africa and Asia going to the emotionally and physically obese in Western Europe.
What is so wonderfully ironic is that a group of politically organised sex workers in the city will be giving their services free of charge to anyone who can prove they are a registered conference delegate. In other words, prostitutes acting as charity workers as scientists act as prostitutes! “All fetishes and fantasies accommodated, including that weird one about man-made global warming.”
Back in Canada two dozen Greenpeace thugs invade the parliament buildings in Ottawa, thus taking time and manpower away from the emergency services who could be dealing with unimportant things like fires, ill children, assaulted women, knife-gangs and drug-dealers. We also have to ask why these so-called activists don’t have jobs to do. Most of us are busy trying to provide for our families but not the usual mob of rent-a-cause types.
The result of this utterly pointless show business stunt by people who dare to misuse the word “peace” in their name will be increased security in Ottawa and a more difficult time for people who want to visit their MPs or see constitutional democracy at work. As I’ve said before, these zealots seem to care much more about the planet than they do about people.

What a wonderfully fun-yet-poignant post. Your ability to tightrope-walk the fine line between bluntness and witty sarcasm is always enjoyable.
Kinda weird that an outfit known as greenpeace resorts to vandalism , personally I believe that climate change is real and that we need to make changes to mitigate the damage caused by emissions. I think that its possible to debate the issue without resorting to insults
Why can Elizabeth May make outrageous claims regarding increased sea levels,
disappearing Polar Bears etc. without challenge from other political leaders? Harbour masters from around the world report no increase in sea levels, but no one seems to believe them. Dizzy Lizzy says so and thus it is a fact.
May God help us all!
What a despicable display in Ottawa. Greenpeace aught to be renamed to Greenwar.
Well said Michael.
This whole conference at Copenhagen is a shame. On the one hand we have hardcore environmentalists who want to propose the nations take action, and put population control into effect all in the name of the environment, and on the other hand we have zealot politicians trying to make a last ditch effort to save their political skin, i.e. Gordon Brown who seems to be the biggest cheerleader among the politicians. Mr. Brown wants Europe to put pressure on the United States and Canada. Nice of Mr. Brown to throw two of his country’s biggest trading partners and military partners under the eco bus.
It seems each time the speak about climate issues most have to put something in there about population control. I wish that more consideration would be made about “self control”. The idea of reducing our “needs” and the things we have come to think of as rights. Sort of “live simply, so that others may simply live”. (sorry I don’t know who I’m quoting)
My Chinese friend said he knew I wouldn’t like to hear it…and that he didn’t think it was something Canada should worry about…but when China had extreme population growth, a lot of people starved. However, what came out of the discussion was it was natural disaster…and do we end or not permit human life because they might die or might suffer? Who could be born then?

I think this climate change stuff has a lot of hot air attached to it. Yes we do need to reduce pollution- but some statistics about global warming are simply nonsense.
Pope Benedict once talked about a human ecology which is perhaps far more important!
It should not go unnoticed that this bunch of undemocratic bandits were trespassing on Canada’s sacred symbol of freedom of speech and democracy – parliament.
Greenpeace bandits wouldn’t get more than a handful of votes at the ballot box so they by-pass the democratic system and resort to their usual modus operandi – thuggery. I just hope our spineless judiciary finally find the intestinal fortitude to sentence them to spend a few nights in an unheated jail cell; that is in one not made comfortable by heat from fossil fuel.
Indeed…scientists, prostitutes, Greenpeace, and one joke of a conference. How can anyone take these dolts seriously? Common…greenhouse gases, nobody still believes that nonsense do they?
I agree pollution is another issue but perhaps we need to address those concerns with people who actually know what they are talking about. Most people see through this façade for what it really is…perhaps the next conference should include non-government funded scientists, leave the prostitutes on the street, and Greenpeace to find real jobs of their own…with no useless distractions just imagine what could be accomplished!
Personally, I think Copenhagen would have been a good conference to boycott. Like you say Michael, the money would have been far better spent on those in need.
Well put Michael. The global warming agenda is what it says it is, mostly hot air.
I love the way everyone pokes fun at the politicians… Let me ask, of all the people who wrote comments, who voted for them?
I just came across this comment by Mark Twain that fits perfectly:
There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.
Hi! This website iz da best, ‘n I’ve been looking for dis place for a long time and I’m so fortunate I finally got here.
I’m 22 years old and finishing my bachelors at Cambridge.
I am the kind of hombre who passions to taste different stuff. Presently I’m manufacturing my own solar panels. I’m doing it all by myself without the aid of my staff. I am using the internet as the only way to acheive that. I encountered a truly awesome website which explains how to make photovoltaic panels and wind generators. The website explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction.
I am not sure about how precise the information given there is. If some experts over here who have xp with these works can have a look and give your feedback in the page it will be great and I would highly value it, cauze I really like solar panel construction.
Tnx for reading this. U people are the best.
It is rather interesting for me to read that blog. Thanx for it. I like such themes and anything connected to them. I would like to read more soon.
Hello!!! blogs.canoe.ca is one of the best innovative websites of its kind. I enjoy reading it every day. Keep it that way.
Credo che si sono errati. Io propongo di discuterne.
Don’t those coffee growers know that global warming is a conspiracy by the liberal elite?
Canada as a Nation must rise above the mediocrity of other Nations … To become independent of all which will bar us from achieving what wee canadians hold as our beliefs ..
It’s a sad fact that even a group with the best intentions has become so warped and skewed as to actually think they know best … whats next …!!
Ire sure there is a complex agenda at work here ..
