Learning from Medieval Copenhagen

Environmental NGOs Walk Out of COP-15 in Protest
Environmental non-governmental organizations staged a walk-out of the COP-15 climate conference in Copenhagen today, protesting the fact that so many of their properly-registered fellow NGO delegates were banned from entering the conference.

The Church of Global Warming, by Caroline May
It is a lie that the United Nations wants to maintain religious neutrality at COP-15. No, Global Warming is the established religion at this international event.

Copenhagen, Denmark – Hundreds of candy suckers are being distributed at the U.N. climate change conference in Copenhagen, Denmark today to mock nations that are imposing harsh limits on their carbon emissions at great economic cost for little or no environmental benefit.

USA! USA! America Wins Climate Award Three Days Straight!
It's not meant to be a compliment, but it is. Forget Climategate; all you need to know to be skeptical of the global warming theory is that the people starring in this ghastly Climate Action Network production believe in it. They even have an anthem, which you can hear on ...

Environmental Activism: Think Globally, Act Locally (Or Not)
Although I still have every sympathy for members of environmental groups that had to stand outside in the cold for eight hours outside the COP-15 climate conference in Copenhagen yesterday, only to be turned away at the end of the day anyway, I am still going to post two short ...
”The Struggle Does Not Stop Here,” Say Witnesses, Apparently Seriously
The propaganda in this reminds me of the fictional Nobel Peace Prize-winning left-wing "biography" I, Rigoberto Menchu. People often believe dumb stuff because they want to believe it.

Kookookaburras Advocating that Australia Abandon Coal
David Ridenour shot this video of a group of Australians at the COP-15 climate conference protesting Australia's use and sale of coal.
