COPENHAGEN CLIMATE CHANGE SUMMIT OPEN POST
MORE EVIDENCE UNCOVERED IN GLOBAL WARMING HOAX
Drudge is reporting 1200 limos and 140 private jets are in Copenhagen for the Global Warming Waste of Time-athon. Their energy usage will emit the same amount of carbon into the air as a Michael Moore/Rosie O’Donnell farting contest. It will be attended by sanctimonious elites from around the world all pretending to ignore the recent hacked emails that prove global warming is nothing but a left-wing hoax designed to take our money and liberties! What a bunch of lying hypocrites playing their part under the banner of political correctness. To protest, AWD flew around in his private jet today with no particular place to go. I’m kinda like the Gordon Gekko of my neighborhood, you see.
To understand the stupidity of the movement is to look only at the celebrities who believe in global warming.
Leonardo Davincio Dicaprio – He’s the actor who looks like an actress and was in Titanic. I’m sure his hours of remembering lines helped him to understand the falsified data out of the University of East Anglia. Come on. If Leonardo wants to limit carbon emissions…he should stop breathing.
Thom Yorke – He is the singer for the band Radiohead. He’s a creep. He’s a weirdo. What the hell does he know about anything but looking like a girl just like the rest of his band. Those boys could eat some Wheaties if you ask AWD. Radiohead commissioned a study by some BS group to help them find the most environmentally friendly way to transport their gear on their 2008 tour. The report recommended Radiohead stay home and make it better for everyone.
Australian actress Kate Blanchett has been involved in promoting tough environmental policies down under in Australia for many years now, through lobby group www.whoonearthcares.com. Most recently, the actress appeared in Copenhagen in May of this year at the World Business Summit on Climate Change. The actress addressed business leaders, urging them to decrease their carbon emissions and increase sustainable practices. The leaders all laughed and said, “go bake me a pie, missy!”
Sting – this old commie has been dragging around global warming garbage for years now while living in a castle that take two nuclear plants to heat. He even had a tree frog named for him. Dendropsuphus Stingi. He also has a part of the human anatomy named after him. Buttholius Stingi. What a hypocritical tool!
Miley Cyrus – un-****ing-believable. Her daddy had his achy-breaky ass living in a single-wide drinking PBR’s not too many moons ago and now this little drama queen wants to get in on the PC Hollywood support of this junk science. Perhaps she should concentrate on not having nekkid pictures of her all over the internet for a change. Hannah Montana is going to really change my mind about global warming!
Is this the best libtards can do? I wouldn’t believe Al Gore if he told me my ass was on fire and I smelled smoke. None of these con-men has ever explained how the Earth has had 3 ice ages…before men were here. It’s all a plan to make us live like we’re a bunch of Somalians. Well, I ain’t Muslim, I ain’t a pirate and I ain’t giving up my private jet!
You’re all welcome to weigh in on this Copenhagen affair. Or you may want to share your predictions for the bowl games. I think the Longhorns are in for trouble if they play like last night. Or if you were going to give AWD a Christmas present, what would it be? Or any thing else you have.
bigtimer, You did too! My apologies to both you and 18A for my redundancy. It must be time for my medication.
Yeah, mandates..gotta do it…now…to save mankind.
OK folks….we know after this post, we are going to go to a new continuation on this thread if that is the proper terms to use…any of you have extra dough, please click on the link below Rosie’s picture and donate, or buy an AWD for a stocking stuffer…we need to get it to where AWD is able to have at least 100 or MORE comments on one continuing thread.
Every little bit helps…I’m tickled this site is growing.
Now, for your viewing pleasure…click on this picture…it’s a winner and self-explanatory…let alone priceless.

Hey rock…no apologies necessary at all….the more we post about this outrage, the better, people are in and out and don’t read or click all the links…this is very important as far as I’m concerned.

I attended the 68th Memorial of Pearl Harbor
Day in Wilmington today. It was held at the Battleship North Carolina Park. Other than a high school ROTC team presenting the colors, I believe I was the youngest one there. (I’m 52). Got to meet some actual survivors there, some Korean War vets, and Viet Nam vets, also.
The supposed highlight was a speech by Congress-critter (H/T to BT) Mike McIntyre (D-dumbass) 7th District NC.
An oldtimer next to me (with medals, etc) turned his back to McIntyre. Within 5 minutes, several others of us did the same. We just stared at the battleship.
Mc is on the Armed Forces Committee, and I guess he has helped the military some here. He has also gotten funding to dredge the Intercoastal Waterway. Guess I should be glad for that, especially at low tide. However, Mc is one of Nazi Nancy’s lapdogs. I feel a bit bad about it now, but I felt if those patriots did it, then so should I…
So, Dudes, would you have done the same ?
I wanted to toss his butt in the Cape Fear River, but there were cops around.
Remember Pearl Harbor!!
I would have done the same.
Mikey, last I remember there are gators in the Cape Fear. I might have done worse than turn my back on that DemonRat!
AWD
Ditto.
If the Japanese bombed Hawaii today, there would be a quick blip on the news, the NYSE would lose a few points and recover before the close, and Hussein would apologise to the Japs for Hiroshima, and then go on to explain to the American people before boarding Air Force One for Copenhagen, that this was part of a secretly negotiated settlement of American war reparations to Japan.
Man, how things have changed.
In a few days I’ll fall off the wagon
While spending time in Copenhagen
It’s not because I went back on drink
But really because of the deadly stink.
The odor comes and affects the masses
It oozes slowly like molasses
One can’t wait until it passes
It’s the carbon from pseudo-scientists’ asses!!
They’ll take this false problem in hand
Get fools to help get carbon banned
They’ll sign a decree
To screw you and me.
Then they will fly
Way up in the sky
Causing more spew
Than either me or you!
So don’t listen my friends to this pack of liars
Who would deprive of us of even our home fires
As they rack up millions of dollars, you see
So they can go home and live better than we!
ok misterbill, another good one…
we’ll put that one to the tune of
“Do It Again” by Steely Dan…
We might add for the chorus…
“Go back Gore, screw us again.
Power plants are shuttin’ down and down.”
AWD, there are gators in the Cape Fear and even nastier ones in the Brunswick River.
The EPA would bust my chops for dumping raw sewerage in the river, though .
Ah yes misterb…the old ‘Do as I say…not as I do’ hat trick.
As if millions of us can’t see through it, let alone fed up to past here with their phony BS scam for profit…at our expense, in more ways than one.
Off on a tangent but, enjoyable:

Obamacare Is Bad Medicine
The current health-care bills do nothing to help doctors, and much to hurt them.
By Soumi Eachempati
As a full-time practicing surgeon, I unequivocally can say that the American health-care system is among the world’s finest. For elective and emergency care, American hospitals boast the most modern equipment, the best training facilities for physicians, and the most fertile ground for the development of new products and technologies.
However, this system has several flaws that harm physicians’ ability to treat patients effectively. The bills currently before Congress do nothing to address these issues — and in fact place additional burdens on doctors.
One problem is that over the last two decades, decreased reimbursement has forced doctors to take on extra patients — and thus spend less time managing each patient. For example, for a complex hemorrhoid removal, a general surgeon received $390 from Medicare in 2008, compared with $574 in 1997 — and in general, Medicaid pays about one-third what Medicare does.
Growing overhead is another major issue for practicing physicians. Physician overhead consists of administrative taxes, office space, support staff, and malpractice insurance. Of these, the latter is the most onerous. When I started as a surgeon, I paid about $60,000 a year. I currently pay $130,000, even though I never have lost a lawsuit and generally am named in litigation only as a consultant. (By Medicare standards, I would have to take out 174 gall bladders just to pay my malpractice insurance; since most surgeons average between 200 and 300 operations a year, most barely would cover overhead if Medicare were their sole carrier.)
The price of defending against a suit is monumental, both financially and emotionally. The defendant must be prepared for multiple days away from his practice for briefings, depositions, chart reviews, and testimony. I probably lose tens of thousands of dollars in revenue defending each suit, even when I am involved only peripherally. Many physicians are devastated after being sued by patients whom they tried their best to treat. For some physicians, the damage to subsequent doctor-patient relationships and the pressure to practice defensive medicine are incalculable.
The health-care bills currently before Congress ignore these problems. At least 20 physician organizations, including the American College of Surgeons, have come out in opposition, largely due to reimbursement issues, lack of tort reform, and failure to correct Medicare’s perverse Sustainable Growth Rate formula.
One reform that has been the subject of much discussion, meanwhile, is the “public option.” But since only private carriers yield any profit for physicians, doctors feel that increased government intervention in health care will force them to be even more indentured to Medicaid and Medicare — two bureaucratic, low-paying systems that perpetually appear to be on the verge of collapse.
I urge you to review the Athena Health report, which summarizes most of the major carriers’ payment patterns. Unsurprisingly, Medicaid fares the worst of any national carrier. My state’s Medicaid program takes the longest amount of time — 160 days — while denying 34 percent of all claims. I can attest that the reasons for New York State’s payment denials are largely bogus: I use similar codes and documentation for all my patients, yet continually see more reimbursement issues with governmental payers. As physicians become more frustrated with governmental payers and drop them, access for the poor will decrease.
Another problem with the public option is that as government-run insurance expands and unfairly “competes” with market-rate insurance plans, it will drive down reimbursements for all plans.
While forcing doctors to rely more on government insurance, the new health bills would cut Medicare payments by $500 billion over the next ten years to fund increased spending. Some physicians will drop Medicare as a result, denying seniors access to health care. I honestly am shocked that seniors are not up in arms that the AARP supports Obamacare. Seniors certainly will be outraged if this legislation passes, and they cannot find doctors in their communities.
As for longer-term consequences, the best and the brightest no longer will choose medicine as a career, and more and more doctors will leave the field. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the average educational debt of indebted graduates of the class of 2008 is $154,607, and the average debt of graduating medical students increased in 2008 by 11 percent over the previous year. About four-fifths of graduates have debt of at least $100,000 before they undergo three to nine years of specialty training at wages in the $45,000-per-year range — while in their early thirties working 80 hours per week. Reports estimate that up to 20 percent of physicians in practice are contemplating leaving medicine.
These trends already have started. Take, for example, my field, general surgery, a specialty that provides a great deal of the trauma and emergency surgery that communities need: There were 7.1 general surgeons per 100,000 people in 1994. Today there are 5.0 per 100,000, and the differences are even more exaggerated in rural areas.
In summary, the health bills being considered by Congress would expand government intervention in health care and create an even more monopolistic system of price fixing, while ignoring quality improvement and tort reform. As a society, we have to make choices. Do we want our doctors to be well-qualified practitioners using their experience and judgment to help as many patients as they can? Or do we want detached, disenfranchised doctors looking to their next career while practicing medicine with the mentality of postal workers?

As an add on real quick pertaining to Hannah Montana~I have wished she really would have picked a different state to use her aka crap…like say Vermont, Connecticut, of course we all could come up with different scenarios for her name change depending on the state.

Isn’t her real name Smiley Virus????
I’ll give 3:2 odds on Moore over Rosie in the farting contest. In his case, the A-hole probably matches the pie-hole. That is, if you could discern any difference between the two. Tide 35, Whorns 10 – Saban calls off the dogs.
Since a few of us have mentioned Health Care Reform in this open post, I would like to add to that.
Harry Reid compared opponents to Health Care Reform to supporters of Slavery. Link: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/12/07/reid-compares-health-care-reform-foes-slavery-supporters/
He also mentioned other times in history where an issue was brought forth inwhich there were those who said Whoa…we need to slow down here and take our time. Those issues were: Slavery, Women’s Right to Vote, and Civil Rights.
What he fails to mention is that those 3 issues he spoke of became Constitutional Amendments, not a law passed by Congress. Big Frickin’ Difference between the two on how they are passed and put in to law. Here is a link for the constitutional amendment process: http://www.usconstitution.net/constam.html
Why is it that people in DC forget about the very Constitution that swore an oath to to uphold and defend.
Also, I find it disgusting what the libertards have done to those US NAVY SEALs. I think someone mentioned here, It’s ok to kill them terrorist, but don’t rough them up any. Give me a freakin’ break!!
Bigtimer, it’s now Monday night and it warmed up to about 5 above through the afternoon-supposed to hit 15-20 below tommorrow. I’m thinking that this is a heat wave and we need to reduce “green house gasses”. Maybe to decrease co2 emissions, all of the politicians can hold their breath untill they no longer make co2.
I don’t know, I’m still going to drive my 1980 suburban and not worry about “climate change”

On a totally different note, since this is still an open post. Act for America (Pamela Geller’s group) recently interviewed a muslim speaker at the Muslim Prayer Day at the White House on 10-25 and the speaker stated that homosexuals must die under sharia law. Why are the GLTB activists not out there raising pure h*ll about this? I am not in favor of gay rights being extended to marriage and I am not pro-gay. I am just wondering why is it that gays don’t step out and raise the same amount of furor about this as they do at the Catholics and Christians. If you’re scared, just say you’re scared.

RocknRoll, why are homosexuals not raising hell about Muslims calling for their death? Like the rest of the politically correct left, they are scared to death of Muslims.

This is a book I recommend to libtard friends since it’s ultimately a conversion story (from libtardism to clear thinking).
Anthropogenic global warming is the invention of tax and spend liberals like Al Gore.
Further to my prior comment:
Global warming has become the religion of those who benefit from it. Its a religion because they accept it on faith and will hear no arguments against. They will seek to get any detracting arguments squelched regardless of the importance to the scientific community.
The theory of global warming has now been taken out of the hands of those who sought to know the reasons and given to those who simply want to have their political party in power and need a weapon. The plus side of that is that good scientific research is still being done despite the attempts to squelch all information that does not support hydrocarbon burning resulting as CO2 as the primary reason and while we are in a frustrating moment in this whole thing, it shall eventually be brought to light.
Political agendas are for morons, plain and simple. This is a discussion of earth science of climatology and physical geography. Global warming is not a topic that belongs here for it has become a political tool. A tool to obtain grant money and a tool to get candidates elected. To some it has become their religion because they accept it unconditionally and not only refuse to hear any other evidence but will also work to keep it from being brought to light. That robs us all when they are successful.
I wrote this response to an article in the New York Times today as requested of me by U.S. Senator XXXXXXXXXXXXX’s office:
This AGU position statement is supposedly written to member scientists. It certainly has little science and much political opinion in it. Powerplants in America first went on line in 1883, internal combustion powered transportation in 1885, yet they choose 1956-2006 to talk about, even skipping the major use of natural resources during WWll. One can “prove” many things using a small and cherry picked timeframe, extrapolated charts with narrowly calibrated temperature scales, but this is not science. This paper is nothing but an opinion piece that does not merit any serious scientific discussion. Much highly opinionated talk but little or no proof. My own studies have convinced me that there are literally thousands of scientists besides me that don’t follow the AGW alarmist religion. I don’t personally know even one other scientist amongst my colleagues who believes the AGW doom theory. Why this organization chooses to re-state the views of SOME of their members is quite disingenuous. Get a vote of the members, then write your comment. They are hiding from the truth I think. I am an independent environmental chemist who answers neither to the Sierra Club or Exxon, and I remain unconvinced that the trivial amount of global warming we have noted in the past 150 years is totally anthropogenic or that it represents much more than natural variations. There are way too many unknowns to decide that this issue is resolved, and that we evil humans are “killing the planet”. I estimate that we humans know substantially less than 1% about how our planet functions. By that mark, any attempts to remediate CO2 would likely be disasterous, like the brilliant scientists who decided to use MTBE to help clean up the air thereby severely polluting water…with MTBE! Conserving energy, improving combustion efficiency, using clean energy, even nuclear, I am all for. Political statements, ad hominem attacks against those who disagree with your postion, and by those whose future is tied to environmental research funds, I find highly suspect
Crackersmacker, I agree with almost everything in your speech, except that “I wrote this response to an article in the New York Times today as requested of me by U.S. Senator XXXXXXXXXXXXX’s office:” Methinks you may be slightly infected with diarrhea of the ego.
Betcha. It was a year or so ago and I should have made that clear, however.
I have been in this particular Senator’s newsletter but have already said too much.
Rocknrollnole shakes his head and walks away in disbelief.
Crackersmacker, well said.

As an environmental chemist, I assure you that I do more to clean up pollution in one year than Al Gore will ever do. I want all pollution cleaned up, it’s my lifework.
Unfortunately, there are many like you that are uneducated enough to actually think that carbon dioxide is a pollutant. Nothing could be further from the truth, and this would be a lifeless planet without CO2. Perhaps you remember from General Science that vegetation “breathes” carbon dioxide and gives off oxygen? CO2 is NOT air pollution. We are talking about a gas that makes up less than .04% of our atmosphere, and has increased about 25% in the last 150 years, That’s what all the fuss is about with global warming, an increase in atmospheric CO2 of about 80 parts-per MILLION in 150 years! If Al Gore were sitting in front of you with a stack of ten-thousand 100 dollar bills representing our entire atmosphere, one single bill would represent more than the overall CO2 increase in our atmosphere in the past 150 years. Trivial, isn’t it? Oxygen would be represented by about 2,100 $100 bills and nitrogen by about 7,800 $100 bills.
Many of us anthropogenic global warming skeptics believe that increased solar heat comes first THEN the increased CO2. All of the other planets in our Solar System are warming without any help from humans, so the small amount of change is most likely a natural planetary process not to be feared by the general public. Now, how much has the Earth warmed in that 150 years? Not even one degree Fahrenheit. There is a saturation point for CO2 in the atmosphere as it interacts with other components of our ecosystem, so a further increase in CO2 concentration will have an even smaller effect on temperature.
You want to pay higher taxes for a worldwide scam like this? Or you can do like Al Gore, put on a good show and buy “carbon credits” from yourself, live in a very large house, fly around in private jets, ride in limos. Yes, global warming or the more current term, “climate change” is B.ad S.cience without a doubt.
I accept your “climate change” senario without any problems OKC. I believe that most of the e-mails “hacked” from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia show the global warming fraud for what it is, a cover up designed to destroy the financial standing of the U.S. and other industrialized countries.
