It's absolutely appalling to me that despite the huge amount of publicity generated by Climategate and the lying sacks of manure who attempted to perpetrate the biggest fraud in history upon clueless, power-grabbing politicians, panicky Euro-trash newspapers are still fomenting hysteria and frothing at their collective maws about the supposed "emergency" facing humankind in the form of "climate change." (Note the "global warming" label has disappeared - likely because it's bullshit.)

Today 56 newspapers in 45 countries take the unprecedented step of speaking with one voice through a common editorial. We do so because humanity faces a profound emergency.
(ORLY?  Would that emergency be tyrannical socialists set on redistributing our earnings and the pathetic, ass-kissing pseudo-scientific liars who hope to get on the tyrants' good side, so when the tyranny becomes more pronounced, they'll be the last ones sacrificed at the altar of government control?)

Unless we combine to take decisive action, climate changewill ravage our planet, and with it our prosperity and security.  Thedangers have been becoming apparent for a generation. Now the factshave started to speak: 11 of the past 14 years have been the warmest onrecord, the Arctic ice-cap is melting and last year's inflamed oil andfood prices provide a foretaste of future havoc. In scientific journalsthe question is no longer whether humans are to blame, but how littletime we have got left to limit the damage. Yet so far the world'sresponse has been feeble and half-hearted. (Never mind the Goreons behind the curtain!  Ignore intentional lies by unethical shitbags who like to call themselves scientists. It's an EMERGENCY, DAMMIT!  Why is no one listening???)

The science is complex but the facts are clear. The world needs to takesteps to limit temperature rises to 2C, an aim that will require globalemissions to peak and begin falling within the next 5-10 years. Abigger rise of 3-4C — the smallest increase we can prudently expect tofollow inaction — would parch continents, turning farmland into desert.Half of all species could become extinct, untold millions of peoplewould be displaced, whole nations drowned by the sea. The controversyover emails by British researchers that suggest they tried to suppressinconvenient data has muddied the waters but failed to dent the mass ofevidence on which these predictions are based. (So these alleged "scientists" fudging data to support a preconceived result is perfectly acceptable, and can be classified as "complex science?  Read that as "You assholes are stupid, and as long as we tell you that the lies perpetrated by some in the scientific community (with information conveniently destroyed, of course) are simply a matter too complex for your tiny little brains to digest, you should fall right in line.)

Few believe that Copenhagen can any longer produce a fully polishedtreaty; real progress towards one could only begin with the arrival ofPresident Obama in the White House and the reversal of years of USobstructionism. Even now the world finds itself at the mercy ofAmerican domestic politics, for the president cannot fully commit tothe action required until the US Congress has done so. (And by the way, it's all Bush's fault, say the papers, whose real goal is to fellate the current resident of the White House.)

And by the way, please note these papers' marked and intentional disregard for the fact that the hypocrites, who are gathering in Copehnagen in order to give a collective "fuck you" to those of us who still believe in truth and integrity in science, are leaving a gargantuan carbon footprint themselves.

On a normal day, Majken Friss Jorgensen, managing director of Copenhagen's biggest limousine company, says her firm has twelve vehicles on the road. During the "summit to save the world", which opens here tomorrow, she will have 200.

"We thought they were not going to have many cars, due to it being a climate convention," she says. "But it seems that somebody last week looked at the weather report."

Ms Jorgensen reckons that between her and her rivals the total number of limos in Copenhagen next week has already broken the 1,200 barrier. The French alone rang up on Thursday and ordered another 42. "We haven't got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand," she says. "We're having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden."

And the total number of electric cars or hybrids among that number? "Five," says Ms Jorgensen. "The government has some alternative fuel cars but the rest will be petrol or diesel. We don't have any hybrids in Denmark, unfortunately, due to the extreme taxes on those cars. It makes no sense at all, but it's very Danish."

Got it.  A country hosting a summit on an alleged global emergency due to supposed man-made pollution is taxing vehicles that will supposedly help clean up the environment so much that hardly anyone can afford them!  Well, yeah!  That makes all the sense in the world!

Meanwhile the very people who claim that you must sacrifice to save mother Gaia are flying in on private jets (140 extra ones during the peak period alone) and eating caviar and pate de foie gras even as they gather there to discuss how to make you poorer.

Fucking hypocrites.
