Prostitutes Offer Free Climate Summit Sex Copenhagen Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards to city hotels warning summit guests not to patronize Danish sex workers during the upcoming conference. Now, the prostitutes have struck back, offering free sex to anyone who produces one of the warnings. www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,665182,00.html I was going to comment but I'll wait for JG

Both could benefit from a little "Free Sex" IMO! Tiger we know has a taste for "pricey stuff" but Obama now that guy has been bending over and giving it away all around the globe so maybe this is just the thing to fix it. Interestingly enough this timely piece of life coincides with the outrage in NY with the "scantly clad ladies" changing clothes and exhibiting some 'entreprueneral spirit" in the windows of the store. I am very surprised that store beat Victoria's Secret to the punch.

Day Fourteen and Counting mrc.org/press/releases/2009/20091204124643.aspxBozell Defends Networks’ Silence on ClimateGate: “Maybe They Just Don’t Know” Alexandria, VA – For the fourteenth straight day, the three broadcast networks have failed to report on the great and growing ClimateGate scandal on their weekday morning or evening news programs. How to explain this? Perhaps it is that ABC, NBC and CBS have not yet heard of the story, despite two weeks of non-stop reporting on and discussion of ClimateGate in a whole host of media outlets. Perhaps the broadcast networks only trust their fellow liberal press outlets, like the New York Times. Perhaps they don’t realize the Times exhibited journalistic diligence on ClimateGate, with a front page story the day the story broke. In the event that ABC News, NBC News and CBS News missed the news, the Media Research Center (MRC) is today rushing each of them a copy of the Times story, in the hopes that armed with this new information, they will finally report a story that has been roiling nearly everywhere else for a fortnight. So as not to offend the networks’ pro-global warming sensibilities, MRC President Brent Bozell is looking to have the stories delivered by bicycle messenger. Bozell: “Ignorance is no excuse under the law, but maybe we should stop criticizing and start showing compassion for NBC, ABC and CBS and their neglect of the huge ClimateGate story. We are more than happy to help rectify their knowledge deficit – via a network-friendly source and in an as environmentally-friendly a way as possible. “We think that once the networks read the story of ClimateGate in their vaunted New York Times, they’ll feel compelled to report it themselves. “We very much look forward to seeing the fruits of their labor.”

“Up to 4 inches of snow in the foothills coming, a light dusting in Sacramento
Sacramento Valley temperatures Monday to a record 27 degrees.
That's the coldest for Dec. 7 since the National Weather Service began tracking temperatures in Sacramento in1849.”
Hope our Idiot-In-Chief is getting the message before he decides to go ahead with his plan to totally screw us in Copenhagen. (At least Gore had enough sense to cancel his $1200/handshake meet and greet pitching his latest book of jokes)
Hey Obama it’s snowing in Sacramento and it’s 38 degrees at my farm.

Obummer is meeting with Al Gore at 4:00 pm today in DC. I suppose they have to collect the story for Friday when he heads to Copenhagen.

Today's weather will be partly cloudy with frequent mentions of how the Obama will save the country, chase the clouds away, and never is heard a negative word.

Too bad, I was hoping for an Avalanch at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

The Fiction Of Climate Science
Random House dutifully printed "THE WEATHER CONSPIRACY … coming of the New Ice Age." This may be the only book ever written by 18 authors. All 18 lived just a short sled ride from Washington, D.C. Newsweek fell in line and did a cover issue warning us of global cooling on April 28, 1975. And The New York Times, Aug. 14, 1976, reported "many signs that Earth may be headed for another ice age."
In 1974, the National Science Board announced: "During the last 20 to 30 years, world temperature has fallen, irregularly at first but more sharply over the last decade. Judging from the record of the past interglacial ages, the present time of high temperatures should be drawing to an end…leading into the next ice age."
The fall of Saigon in the '70s may have distracted the shrill pronouncements about the imminent ice age. Science's prediction of "A full-blown, 10,000 year ice age," came from its March 1, 1975 issue. The Christian Science Monitor observed that armadillos were retreating south from Nebraska to escape the "global cooling" in its Aug. 27, 1974 issue.
I’ll believe in global warming when the armadillos go north to Alaska

Leaked agreement rocks CopenhagenBy Europe correspondent Emma Alberici for AM Posted 1 hour 34 minutes ago Updated 58 minutes ago The Copenhagen climate talks have been rocked by the leak of a draft final agreement which weakens the role of the United Nations in climate change negotiations and abandons the Kyoto Protocol. The "Danish text" draft agreement, published by the UK's Guardian newspaper, has been described as a dangerous document for developing countries. Over the past week, parts of Denmark's proposal have leaked into the public domain, but this is the first time it has been published in its entirety. According to the Guardian, the secret agreement has been worked on by a group of individuals known as the 'circle of commitment'. It is understood to include Australia, the US, the UK and Denmark, which are all said to have finalised the deal in the past two days. The document abandons the Kyoto Protocol, sidelines the United Nations in future climate change negotiations, and hands most of the power to rich countries. The Kyoto Protocol relied on the principle that rich nations - responsible for the bulk of emissions - can and should be compelled to take on the biggest burden when it comes to cutting those emissions. Under Kyoto, poorer nations were not required to act at all www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/12/09/2765792.htm?section=world

I’ll believe in global warming when the armadillos go north to Alaska The idea that there was anything remotely approaching a "consensus" in the 1970's on global cooling, is a myth. The CONSENSUS in the 1970's was that the earth was warming. Just have to analyze the literature. See here: www.skepticalscience.com/What-1970s-science-said-about-global-cooling.htmland here: ams.allenpress.com/archive/1520-0477/89/9/pdf/i1520-0477-89-9-1325.pdfThe plain fact of the matter, if we all strip away the handwaving and fingerpointing, is that about a dozen of the hottest years of average global temperatures recorded in the past 160 years, have occurred since 1994. Put another way, of the 15 hottest years on earth recorded in the last 160 years, all but three have occurred since 1994. Does it really matter whether Newsweek had a story about cooling in 1975? Certainly there is some discussion to be had about how aggressively to approach the concept; certainly, the question of how much the warming is due to increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, is valid to chew on; however, to say that global warming has not been occurring, is simply ignoring facts.

You go off on consensus as if the word was the crux of the post, in fact consensus cannot be found. However I’ll give you the benefit of doubt as nothing has changed no consensus then and no consensus now. I’ll keep my eye on the armadillos.
