Will someone PLEASE tell the climate alarmists to stop having their conferences in winter???
Seriously: just about every year over the past decade these idiots have arranged for protests, conferences or presentations of one kind or another to scare the planet into submission over anthropogenic global warming. And almost every time they look like fools. Either you have the coldest, snowiest winter in China; the first snow in Baghdad in living memory; marching protesters walking around in a blizzard; or (most recently) the first white Christmas in 14 years in Copenhagen delaying the arrival of some leaders.

Would it not make more sense to simply schedule these things in July??? How tough can that be? Just that small change would eliminate the possibility of being automatically labeled morons by everyone looking out a window. Someone, somewhere must like these guys. If one of you is reading this, could you give them the tip?
Here’s the thing. The folks who like working all this “we only have 10 years before total catastrophe” and “the science is in, the debate is over” stuff are clearly fear mongering. They have been exposed as either careless with data or obviously manipulating it often over the past decade. There is rampant lying to cover a broad political agenda.
BUT – even though there are lies and manipulation galore being foist on us by these charlatans, some of what they are trying to accomplish has merit. Closest to my heart is the promotion of solar energy production, including active, passive and wind. Over time, increases in efficiency and reduction of political, economic and ecological fallout from fossil fuels will be a huge benefit to everyone across the globe. So, if the charlatans can at least continue to encourage that, things won’t be a total loss.
So guys – how about the 4th of July next year? You can call it “Freedom from Fossil Tyranny”, or something fun like that. Keep hitting the solar – and try not to look too stupid while you’re doing it. We need to keep that moving.
Happy New Year!
