Global Community Organizing in Snarkenhagen

Obama takes community organizer shakedown skills global!

COPENHAGEN — A visibly angry Barack Obama threw down the gauntlet at China and other developing nations Friday, declaring that the time has come "not to talk but to act" on climate change. (Politico)

Saudi Arabia funds terrorists; A bloodthirsty, illegitimate Iranian regime murders its own people (and our troops in Iraq) and spreads terror in Lebanon, Palestine and points beyond; the Darfur slaughter and rape continues; Somali pirates disrupt international commerce...

But dammit!  President Obama is really mad that nations are balking at economically castrating themselves upon the altar of Gaia! 

And now for something completely different...
Gerald Warner turns his British wit on this Copenhagen farce, as only a British sarc-snark can:

When your attempt at recreating the Congress of Vienna with a third-rate cast of extras turns into a shambles, when the data with which you have tried to terrify the world is daily exposed as ever more phoney, when the blatant greed and self-interest of the participants has become obvious to all beholders, when those pesky polar bears just keep increasing and multiplying – what do you do? [...]

Unfortunately, the response of all intelligent people will be to fall about laughing; but it was worth a try – everybody loves a tryer – and the climate alarmists are no longer in a position to pick and choose their tactics.

The danger of this ploy, of course, is that people might say “If we are going to be chargrilled anyway, what is the point of handing over billions – better to get some serious conspicuous consumption in before the ski slopes turn into saunas.”

If you're as tired as I am of the flatulent cloud of hypocrital sanctimony emanating from Copenhagen, go read Gerald Warner's entire column.  It'll  hit the spot.
