Comical protest news from Montreal:
Thousands of people ignored frigid temperatures to lead a worldwide day of protest against global warming.
UPDATE. In other hilarious climate developments, China wants the US to ratify Kyoto—while remaining exempt itself.
- I read it through, and have only one question: Did those 600,000 people who signed a petition to have Bush and the US help “slow global warming” demand that we convert as quickly as possible to nuclear power?Posted by JorgXMcKie on 2005 12 04 at 12:47 AM • permalink
- Taking my cue from the MSM’s approach, I refer to it as so-called climate change these days.Posted by ArtVandelay on 2005 12 04 at 01:44 AM • permalink
- I think there’s something to this ‘climate change’ thing. Yesterday here in Byron Bay it was 26 deg celcius and today it was almost 29c.

- It was 30+ degrees Celsius here, so Nick and thought it was about time we put up the Christmas lights.
Is that Bush’s fault too?

“Ten years ago we thought we had a lot of time, five years ago we thought we had a lot of time, but now science is telling us that we don’t have a lot of time,” he said. “Global warming can mean colder, it can mean drier, it can mean wetter, that’s what we’re dealing with,” he said.
He’s right. It was wetter this fall. Then it stopped and now it’s drier. And by George (Bush), lately it’s been colder here in Amerikkka. And just think, I always thought it was because of the Earth’s tilt on its axis.

China — one of the world’s major polluters — urged the U.S. to join the Kyoto treaty Wednesday, rejecting arguments that the pact is flawed because it fails to restrict emissions by developing countries.
Well, know what? I reject China’s rejection. Get ALL NATIONS on board this Kyoto train ride to the cliff and we’ll talk about it. Otherwise all the other signatories to the Kyoto Protocol can just work on complying on this own.
Come on New Zealand, let’s focus.

- China’s obligations – do they stretch to making sure that their newfound industrial miracle has people running it that can avoid flooding their and Russia’s ecosystems with benzine?
Or are we to see another command economy totter into the 21st Century with no care and no responsibility. Perhaps they will do something really useful and graduate from producing the more common consumer goodies to making cars that need little or no petrol. Under license from the patent holders, of course. (they are great respecters of intellectual property too).
In the meantime, we have Ender back here to remind us that he is really committed to the Kyoto thing and that we are all rather naughty if we disrespect it.
- Golly, China wants us to ratify the Kyoto treaty? I don’t think so! As I recall, not even John Kerry was that stupid.Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 12 04 at 10:34 AM • permalink
“Global warming can mean colder, it can mean drier, it can mean wetter, that’s what we’re dealing with”
Jeebus, do they even realize what retarded religious zealots they sound like?
Reminds me of a conversation I had with my catechism teacher in eighth grade, right about the time I started my path to Hell:
“If the bread and wine turns into the body and blood of Christ, how come it stills tastes like bread and wine?”
“That’s part of the miracle.”
- “Global warming can mean colder, it can mean drier, it can mean wetter, that’s what we’re dealing with,”
Man, if that isnt a study in CYA.
Part of me actually wants a Democrat elected President in 08, just so this “problem” of global warming/climate change/whatever, will magically go away.
Its a sorry display of human gullibility and (in many cases) insincerity and I’m tired of looking at it.
Why dont they just admit their base desire is the destruction of capitalism?
At least then, they wouldnt be insulting the intelligence of the rest of us.

If the temperature is slightly warmer than usual for this time of year, it’s evidence of global warming.
If the temperature is colder than usual for this time of year, it’s evidence that weather patterns are being disrupted, and therefore evidence of global warming.
If the temperature is exactly as expected for this time of year, it either doesn’t mean anything, or it shows that there is still time to act before it is too late.
