Pixie Dust and Blizzards

Everyone at the table - naked emperors, all - knows that the 'global warming' farce has unraveled. Everyone knows they stand exposed as the appeasers of a failed ideology. The best they can do is to continue and pretend it isn't so.

Earlier this year, Obama told some Turkish college students, "States are like big tankers, they're not like speedboats. You can't just whip them around and go in another direction."

'Can't' or 'won't'? And the answer is 'won't', because it never was about 'global warming’ anyway. It was about extortion. Chavez made it quite clear in his speech to the delegates, and the chamber erupted in uproarious applause. Meanwhile, outside there was vandalism. The red flag was ubiquitous. I would bet the Russians and the Chinese felt embarrassed by this pathetic display of the (once great) West's incontinent children.

Every one of these so-called leaders (excepting the communists egging them on and, at the same time, mocking them) will from now on find himself in the position of Tiger Woods. They will return home to outraged electorates, who will be in no mood to listen to stories of pixie dust and blizzards in Hopenhagen (sic).
