Hundreds Protest Global Warming

Copenhagen negotiations ’suspended’
Looks like all the developing countries have ganged up on the developed countries in Copenhagen:
Negotiations at the UN climate summit have been suspended after developing countries withdrew their co-operation.
Delegations were angry at what they saw as moves by the Danish host government to sideline talks on more emission cuts under the Kyoto Protocol.
While it’s not exactly what I was hoping would de-rail the summit, at least something is stopping – at least temporarily – the insanity that is global warming talks. Apparently the Danish government drafted some papers that are actually benefiting the developed countries over the developing.
I hope the disagreements and dysfunction at the “summit” continue. We do not need to enter into a meaningless agreement that will end up taking more of our sovereignty away and giving it to the U.N. If you’re not familiar with what I’m talking about, go watch this.
Facts are the Air – Update: CRU Director Steps Down
I stumbled across this quote, and I love it. It fits the whole “ClimateGate” issue going on. Read it, understand it:
Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of science. Without them a man of science can never rise.
– Ivan Pavlov, Russian physiologist (1849-1936)
UPDATE (2:51 P.M.): Just saw on Fox News that Phil Jones, the Director of the Climatic Research Unit in the U.K. that was involved with the leaked e-mails, is stepping down pending an investigation that he overstated the case for man-made climate change. Well, how about that?
