Global Climatic Change is not caused by humans, just ask the Canadians who are still scooping snow. It's a natural up & down cycle and anyone thinking we control it is very arrogant.

Headline correction:

Climate Change has replaced global warming, but then the U.N. isn't exactly a trend setter with the truth

I note that all these conferences happen in warm places like Bali & Thailand. What an example to us all that our leaders should be willing to undergo the suffering of staying in such places when they could be enjoying the bracing atmosphere of Nome, Alaska.

Conference on global warming? No, more like a gathering of globalist countries discussing ways of squeezing yet more tax out of the middle classes.

Hello Truthsleuth,

What, no calls from you and your theorists to force the UN Elitists to CANCEL all those multi-engine Jets which brought the UN Elitists to the Conference? Surely you and your fellow fanatics are upset about the THOUSANDS of TONS of CO2 which all those jet engines pumped into the atmosphere, thereby INCREASING 'Global Warming'?

How about all those limousines which scurried hither and yon, in transporting all those 'In the Know' from the UN?

What about the HUGE 'Carbon Footprint' which those 200 UN Elitists are having on the 'Fragile Environment', during their stay at the high end hotels? All that extra electricity which must be generated to heat and light their rooms, showers, phones, etc?

What about the further negative carbon impact of all the rich foods, wines, and hard liquors, which must be shipped to the hotels, to meet the 'minimum needs' of the UN twits?

Tell me O Wise Sleuther of Truth, why could not all those 200 UN Elitists have just grouped together in their respect mini-conferences, remaining in their offices, and met via Internet Conference Calls?

Skype works wonders my dear Eco-Fascist.

Were the UN Elitists actually interested in helping the climate, minimizing their 'Carbon Footprint', and not generating unnecessary CO2 into the atmosphere, they'd have remained in their home countries and conferenced via the Net and Skype.

Ah, but then there'd be no beaches, no resort hotels, no room service, no $200-$300 meals, no $200 bottles of wine, champagne, whiskey, cognac, and brandy! No high end hookers on the 'UN dime' to provide much needed 'comfort' while the UN Elitists 'work hard' for the 'benefit' of all humans.

Sans the hookers, please be so kind as to send me some of that 'comfort' my way will you; I'm in sore need of some relaxation, after battling Eco-Fascists like you and the UN Elitists, while you try to steal me and everyone else blind in taxes, 'carbon' schemes, and whatever else you can think of, to

Hahaha! GREAT post, Neo75! However, you forgot that these guys are the arbiters of INTERNATIONAL LAW - and as such they could merely proclaim that depriving them of their high-expense hookers, booze and drugs is inflicting an INHUMAN torture on them and is akin to WATERBOARDING!

Waterboarding - where an American dumping water on your face makes you 'feel like you are drowning' - and the UN proclaims it TORTURE!

Whoreboarding - where an American UN worker sits on your face and makes you 'feel like you are downing' - and the UN proclaims it 'a fringe benefit'!
