That’s what Eric Carlson, president of Carbonfund, said last week. I explain in a post for the National Legal and Policy Center how he not-so-politely asked the U.S. (an “800-pound gorilla”) to leave the climate change negotiations in Cancun this week. From what I’ve read, there aren’t a whole lot of Americans there anyway.

Good news for those European delegates to this scam summit, most of the Airports across Europe are still closed, due to the very early snowstorm that rolled through the other day, so they can just stay on the beach for a few extra days, thinking up new ways to steal America's money. It's too bad there's not a lot of American delegates left there, to help them come up with some new ideas, that the MSM can then try to sell to us stupid suckers. I'll just never understand how Global Warming can bring about such a huge snowstorm so early in the season, but then again, I guess I'm just another flat-earther, and I just don't know any better. Hell right now (tonight), the 4th of December, it's sleeting here at FT Bragg, North Carolina, and I've never seen this before so early during the winter. Damn You Global Warming!!

...and it ain't even winter yet - not til December 21st!!
(Freezing in usually relatively balmy Vancouver too.)

We are actually due for another ice age, and the sun has continued to be quiet.

The horrid fact of the global warming debate is that there are so many conflicting "facts". As examples, the polar ice cap is melting - - - the polar ice cap is getting thicker. Carbon emissions cause global warming - - - you could go outside and spit and have more effect on the climate than carbon emissions. I submit that no one can truly get a handle on the truth when truth is held in such total disregard by everyone with an agenda.
I tend to be a denier only because when I do the math (literally) the results I get do not conform to the statements of the global warming crowd, but then I could easily be wrong. Are we due for another ice age? One group of press releases says yes, another says no. So what is true? Do we really know? I submit that we don't.
So, what's to do. I submit that the whole world requires a broadcast debate without the press in the way. Two teams, Marino and Lord Mocton on one side, Jones and Gore on the other. Collage rules, not questions asked by agenda prone reporters. Then let the world decide.
I think we can all say in regards to that idea, FAT CHANCE. Each side with its' own agenda would be too afraid to lose.

Welcome Sea_Hunter,
Heh, I certainly would not want "the world" to vote on the facts. Look what happened on November 2008 right here in the USA.
In addition, we are outnumbered in the world... a LOT. The "majority" would just fight over to whom we re-distribute the wealth we have earned.
Simply monitor the sunspot activity (solar flare activity) to take your clue.
The sun truly has gone very quiet. The only question is...for how long into the future?
Ken (Old Texican)| 12.6.10 @ 8:46AM
Check out this link, folks. the solar forecasts called for a massive solar output increase for 2010 thru 2012. So far, just the opposite.

The Global Warmists won't be happy until we all look like Spain, which embraced green energy big time: 20% unemployment, economic basket case.
Deborah D | 12.6.10 @ 8:29AM
I say we drop the whole thing. What can we actually do about the climate I ask? Not a damn thing. So all of those who want to tax, to regulate, to steal from the American people -- get the hell out of our way. We're done with your lies and thievery, and that goes for the UN in spades.
Stan Redmond| 12.6.10 @ 9:47AM
A few thoughts...
There are no Americans in Cancun because it's nothing more then a way for basketcase countries to divy up American taxpayer dollars.
Global warming heretics must be destroyed because there is so much profit in alarmism.
The technology to measure things like the global temperature and ice caps has only been around a few years.
If government stopped throwing tax dollars at global warmind "research" (propoganda) we would never hear about it again.
We now have a recycled boogeyman on the horizon REFRIGERANTS!!! Those dastardly refrigerants are going to kill us yet again.
Yes we can| 12.6.10 @ 11:24AM
We are going to need those refrigerants if we keep belching out CO2 and raise the average Earth temperature up a half a degree in the next 100 years.......(This is sarcism if you can't tell)
If all those so concerned about CO2 levels would just stop exhaling, that would solve the problem right there.
