The Brussels Journal: The week that was: George Handlery.

Brussels Journal is a source I read
or at least scan every day. It gives
a good snapsjot of what is going on
in Europe and not from the leftist
socialist side. Just one of several
sources that has proven to be
reliable and truthful. I have engaged
in many a spirited argument with the
regular posters as Brussels Journal.

"Duly Noted: Copenhagen Was A Success
From the desk of George Handlery on Sat, 2009-12-26 15:24

George Handlery about the week that was. The Talker-in-Chief and “Copenhagen”. Michelangelo and American foreign policy. The problems of war time Democratic Presidents. Open societies and their wars.
Is Iran demonstratively hiding what it does not have? Admit the failure of diplomacy?

1. Copenhagen. All talk of failure. Wrongly. Many “good things” have happened. Consider this: many people attending were enabled to expand their horizon by travel. And that on someone else’ expense. (You will guess the donor.) Plenty of opportunity to profile the otherwise nameless that claimed to be in a state of uncompromising outrage. That created good gut feelings because fury is, in some circles, a moral pedestal. Accordingly, it was possible to riot and smash and to express thereby ethical superiority. Doing so was even fun although normally, acknowledged “virtue” requires that pleasure be relinquished. So, those on the streets voiced their opinions by smashing things for the camera – “look Mom, I am on TV!” Meanwhile, inside, the official participants of the conference held significant speeches during which the listeners did not listen because they were busy being asleep. For the delegates – all fearless fighters against vice – of otherwise forgotten countries, excellent photo ops and a great chance to claim risk-free rank and status was the reward.

Some of the rewards are valuable. “Third Worlders” will get money from where pious funds of atonement set up for such purposes always come from. Meanwhile, the donors, even though tree hugging would have been cheaper, can claim enrichment through having done “something good”. That scores even when one cannot be certain what that something might be. Except, of course that the money given to ameliorate guilt feeling consumed as a luxury will be handed to governments. These shall direct the money into local projects to save the planet. As a result two further “good things” will occur. Chronic guilt feelings will be ameliorated and governing third world elites will be enabled to perk up welfare. Mainly their own. Naturally, the dough will be transferred while silently consenting that its use must not be controlled. Doing otherwise would limit sovereignty and that, as we know, amounts to “neo colonialism”. That is an especially reprehensible misdemeanor when practiced to the detriment of dictatorial cleptocrats. The money thrown at the problem will be of use. To the makers of luxury cars. Left alone, the climate will develop the way nature dictates. The warming will not abate; however, the consciences of the donors will cool. A loser at Copenhagen appears to be America’s “Talker-in-Chief”. He swung the magic wand and declared that the time to talk is over. After that – and this in itself is not Obama’s fault – nothing much happened. Except for producing an agreement to continue to talk.

Failure in Copenhagen. Repeat performance by Obama helps doom conference results.

As the first time in Copenhagen was not enough, Obama
made sure there is no doubt about his character and
complete, total lack of ability to unify the GW addicts
gathered in Copenhagen. The fact that the Guardian,
the most liberal, leftarded paper in the UK sums it up
well, and not for Obama. One Indian paper had this to
say about Obama: "Tensions prevailed at the climate talks
at Copenhagen today, as Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh
and China premier Wen Jiabao walked out of the summit along
with their respective delegations, as talks failed."
As talks failed, just like almost everything else Obama has
touched, has crumbled like a termite ridden wooden house.
They announced a deal had been reached but it is non-binding
and a joke. Just like the entire religion that the golbal warming
crisis has become.

Does it feel like it is getting warmer?

Barack Obama came, he spoke, and no one concurred:


India and China have taken a united stand and walked out of the climate summit as Copenhagen talks fail.

Tensions prevailed at the climate talks at Copenhagen today, as Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh and China premier Wen Jiabao walked out of the summit along with their respective delegations, as talks failed.

Obama feted Singh just this month, saying that they should be impressed that India got first crack at Obama’s state dinner agenda. Apparently, Singh was less impressed than Obama presumed.

Meanwhile, Obama is getting some pretty bad reviews for his intervention in Copenhagen … from his once-adoring admirers. Since this comes from the Left’s major newspaper in the UK, where political biases are openly acknowledged in the media, this may seem like good news for those worried that Barack Obama would give away the store in Copenhagen. We needn’t have worried; Obama turned out to be just as effective on the world stage as he has been in finding compromises here at home. The Right has no illusions about Obama, but the disillusionment from the Left is rather amusing:

Barack Obama stepped into the chaotic final hours of the Copenhagen summit today saying he was convinced the world could act “boldly and decisively” on climate change.

But his speech offered no indication America was ready to embrace bold measures, after world leaders had been working desperately against the clock to try to paper over an agreement to prevent two years of wasted effort — and a 10-day meeting — from ending in total collapse. …

Many reactions were strongly critical of Obama. Hugo Chávez, the president of Venezuela, described Obama’s speech as “ridiculous” and the US’s initial offer of a $10bn fund for poor countries in the draft text as “a joke”.

Tim Jones, a spokesman for the World Development Movement, said: “The president said he came to act, but showed little evidence of doing so. He showed no awareness of the inequality and injustice of climate change. If America has really made its choice, it is a choice that condemns hundreds of millions of people to climate change disaster.”

Friends of the Earth said in a statement, “Obama has deeply disappointed not only those listening to his speech at the UN talks, he has disappointed the whole world.”

The World Wildlife Fund said Obama had let down the international community by failing to commit to pushing for action in Congress: “The only way the world can be sure the US is standing behind its commitments is for the president to clearly state that climate change will be his next top legislative priority.”

Gestapo like muzzling of the Climategate reporter in Denmark. Shameless!

Watch this video and see how many times they try
to stop McAleer's questioning of the GW fear troll.
This is really fair reporting and treatment. Hitler
would be proud. I bet Obama and his band of
hucksters thinks this is great freedom of the press.

Private Limos at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen

Glad to see that these 'delegates' are so
concerned about saving the earth's resources.
Time to toss more wood into our woodstove
(particulate matter, smoke) and jump in the
car to go to the store one block down the street.
Relax, our woodstove is a newer model, less
polluting and much more efficient.

If this is possible to do then go for it. Maybe Al Gore can pay in carbon credits? I forgot; those aren't real either. Just like the GW scam.

I can think of alot of other supporters
and drinkers of the GW scam that should
be sued or brought before the global
community for this.

Thanks to Atlas Shrugs for the tip.
