Firstly, one just HAS to take cognizance of the Glowbull Warming Conference Blizzard of ’09 that Copenhagen is getting:
Blizzard Dumps Snow on Copenhagen as Leaders Battle Warming
World leaders flying into Copenhagen today to discuss a solution to global warming will first face freezing weather as a blizzard dumped 10 centimeters (4 inches) of snow on the Danish capital overnight. “Temperatures will stay low at least the next three days,†Henning Gisseloe, an official at Denmark’s Meteorological Institute, said today by telephone, forecasting more snow in coming days. “There’s a good chance of a white Christmas.â€
Delegates from 193 countries have been in Copenhagen since Dec. 7 to discuss how to fund global greenhouse gas emission cuts. U.S. President Barack Obama will arrive before the summit is scheduled to end tomorrow.
Denmark has a maritime climate and milder winters than its Scandinavian neighbors. It hasn’t had a white Christmas for 14 years, under the DMI’s definition, and only had seven last century.
There have been a number of instances where winter storms came in at the same time as AlGore sessions, and other glowbull warming events.
God is ironic.
Another dose of cold water was injected into the glowbull warming love-in by US Senator James Inhoff (R-OK).
Sen. Inhofe (R) In Lion’s Den in Copenhagen
The leading global warming skeptic in the U.S. Senate shocked reporters in Copenhagen with a dose of American reality with his prediction Thursday morning that the U.S. Senate will not pass a carbon ‘cap and trade’ bill, regardless of the commitment President Obama is expected to make here tomorrow.
“I am here to make sure the 190 countries here don’t go home with the false impression,†said sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla. “The United States is not going to pass cap and trade. It just isn’t going to happen. Its chances are zero.†Inhofe said just 25 Senators would support the type of carbon reduction bill already passed in the House.
This proved to be a shocking experience to the world establishment pro-Glowbull Warming press:
Surrounded by reporters from around the world, including many who believe global warming is real, Inhofe often looked like a lamb on his way to slaughter.
One reporter asked Inhofe “What do you tell the children who have to live in a nightmare world. What should we tell them about your country being a heroin addict on fossil fuel? Answer the question!â€
“Most of you are on the far left side, so listen closely. I contend the consensus is not there, and it wasn’t there prior to Climate-gate.â€
“Nothing binding will come out of here in my opinion, and if it does it will be rejected by the American people.â€
Nothing quite like calling a spade a spade!
Finally, looks like the Brits’ Meteorological Office (like our (NOAA) has apparently been caught with its data down:
CLIMATE CHANGE ‘LIES’ BY BRITAIN
THE Meteorological Office was last night facing accusations it cherry-picked climate change figures in a bid to increase evidence of global warming.
UK climatologists “probably tampered with Russian-climate data†to produce a report submitted to world leaders at this week’s Copenhagen summit, it is claimed.
The Met Office’s study, which says the first decade of this century has been the warmest on record for 160 years, is being used to trumpet claims that man is causing global warming.
But experts at the Moscow-based Institute of Economic Analysis say the British dossier used statistics from weather stations that fit its theory of global warming, while ignoring those that do not.
They accuse the Met Office’s Hadley Centre of relying on just 25 per cent of Russia’s weather stations and over-estimating warming in the country by more than half a degree Celsius.
Brit climate science looks really junky about now, with this on top of the original Climategate leakage from East Anglia University’s Climate Research Unit.
