The Climate Summit Hypocrisy
Dec 6, 2009 Political
They are gathering from around the world to discuss climate change and how the wealthier countries can be raped in order to provide money to countries that are poor. The leaders will gather and discuss ways to spend trillions of dollars in an effort to reduce CO2 emissions that they claim are warming the planet. The massive spending will reduce temperatures less than 1 degree but it sounds good in theory and if they don’t like the way things are they have scientists who know how to cook the books.
The problem is, these people are going to the Summit to discuss ways to reduce carbon footprints and they will generate tons of CO2:
On a normal day, Majken Friss Jorgensen, managing director of Copenhagen’s biggest limousine company, says her firm has twelve vehicles on the road. During the “summit to save the world”, which opens here tomorrow, she will have 200.
“We thought they were not going to have many cars, due to it being a climate convention,” she says. “But it seems that somebody last week looked at the weather report.”
Ms Jorgensen reckons that between her and her rivals the total number of limos in Copenhagen next week has already broken the 1,200 barrier. The French alone rang up on Thursday and ordered another 42. “We haven’t got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand,” she says. “We’re having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden.”
And the total number of electric cars or hybrids among that number? “Five,” says Ms Jorgensen. “The government has some alternative fuel cars but the rest will be petrol or diesel. We don’t have any hybrids in Denmark, unfortunately, due to the extreme taxes on those cars. It makes no sense at all, but it’s very Danish.”
The airport says it is expecting up to 140 extra private jets during the peak period alone, so far over its capacity that the planes will have to fly off to regional airports – or to Sweden – to park, returning to Copenhagen to pick up their VIP passengers. Telegraph UK
So, few hybrids, a fleet of limos and an air force worth of private jets will descend upon Copenhagen spewing tons of CO2.
They hope to be able to get rules in place to tell us how to live, what to drive and how to fly but they have a hard time putting that into practice.
Another example of “do as I say, not as I do.”
All in the name of a hoax.
