Climate Carnival in Rio
Ms. Henny-Penny is sure to spoil the Doomsayers’ fun.
(Page 2 of 2)
ME: Still, the alarmists have quite a cheering section.
MS. H-P: They sure do. The Sierra Club and its allies profess to be concerned about the environment. The specific concerns — spotted owls and such — are just devices for pushing their real agenda, which is to reduce industrial production and get us all used to having a lower standard of living.
You see, they really believe that the planet’s resources are finite; that we have overused them and overpopulated the world it and that we must now in the opposite direction.
ME. Some carnival. I hope it will prove as fruitless as all the previous ones.
MS. H-P: Even though I’m here as a journalist, you can bet I’ll be working behind the scenes to make sure of it.
Mr. Hannaford first met Henny-Penny several years ago when she was touting global warming.

I wonder if Lisa Jackson and the EPA are having a million dollar reception for the Agenda21 global leaders with clowns and pony rides. I hear the beaches are great!

It's always a hoot to hear Miss Henny Penny's hoots.
It's a pity she did not comment on the number of planet-saving activists attended the carnival (30,000? 50,000?) and how many walked or travelled there by canoe, as opposed to using the climate-destroying conveyance of modern aircraft. No doubt none of them used the elevators or air-conditioning, either.

The only natural force of warming destruction at this conference would be if Madam Hillary brought Billy Bob Slick Willie along with her.
Memo to Ms. H-P: Don't wear a blue dress, it might lead to an enviornmental contamination site.

Notice how little press is being given to "Climate Change" now?
Hell even the godfather of "Global Warming" (no, not Al) is speaking out saying he over reacted.

Did not our Sec of State just promise $2 billion as our first payment on our portion of a 100 billion international climate change fund? Whos money are they giving away and to whom?
