The environmentally unfriendly Copenhagen meeting
The Copenhagen meeting on climate change is kicking off this week. In case you are living in a bubble and don’t know what this is about; this meeting is about saving the planet from man-made global warming. It is about the evils of fossil fuels and the participants are looking to sign a treaty that promises to cap greenhouse gasses in order to save the world.
These very same participants who are lambasting the evils of fossil fuels and the role that these “dirty” energy sources unleash on the world just don’t seem to live up to the expectations that they want us to live up to. These people who are supposed to be so damned environmentally friendly and who have condemned fossil fuels have taken 1,200 separate limousines and 140 private jets to the summit.
It would seem to me that if these hypocrites really believed the bullshit that they are trying to sell us, and if they really believed that fossil fuels are going to destroy the planet, than the least they could do would be to find an alternative way to get to the global warming summit. How about leading by example? These people want to tell us how to live but they have no problem living their lives however they see fit, even if it is directly contrasting to the way that they believe we should live.
This just exposes them for the frauds that they are.
Remember when the automobile executives were looking for a government handout and they all flew to Washington DC in their private jets? Remember the uproar, and the scolding that the president gave them for this? Remember how Barack Obama told them that they should set a better example if they wanted a government handout?
What is the Copenhagen meeting all about if it isn’t about getting a government handout? What is the difference, really? At least the automobile makers were only looking to save their own asses from their own stupidity. These hypocrites are looking to save the world from a problem that doesn’t exist, while they are living the lifestyle that Obama condemned the automakers for living. And this is the lifestyle that is supposedly destroying the planet.
If they really believed the nonsense that they are spouting they would put their money where their mouths are. Instead they chose to live one way while they are in the process of forcing us to live another way.

Amen brutha! And on top of all that you pointed out, now the EPA is setting themselves up to do an end-run on Congress w/ that whole Cap and Trade thing. So now Good King Obama can go to Copenhagen and tell everyone that one way or another the U.S. will agree to cut emissions – either through executive powers (so to speak) or through legislation/treaty ratification. Bastard!
I’ll tell you that I’m getting more and more fed up w/ the crap this Fascist President and his Socialist cronies continue to do. They have no regard for what the American people want or what’s so obviously bad for the country or what’s beyond their authority as granted in the Constitution. I’m very afraid for the well being of our country…not only for me but for my kids.

The EPA is poised to do what the congress is now beging to have second thoughts about. Obama will advance his cap and trade agenda through the EPA without having to sign legislation, this is unacceptable.
