Oh woe is us, death be upon the world, we must meet to figure out what to do - let us fly on private planes, be limousine escorted from the airport to town (despite there being a frequent fast train service) and dine like royalty.
Is it any wonder that half of all Britons do not believe in anthropogenic climate change?
The Sunday Telegraph reports:
On a normal day, Majken Friss Jorgensen, managing director of Copenhagen's biggest limousine company, says her firm has twelve vehicles on the road. During the "summit to save the world", which opens here tomorrow, she will have 200.
Ms Jorgensen reckons that between her and her rivals the total number of limos in Copenhagen next week has already broken the 1,200 barrier. The French alone rang up on Thursday and ordered another 42. "We haven't got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand," she says. "We're having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden."
And the total number of electric cars or hybrids among that number? "Five," says Ms Jorgensen.
Yet the sanctimonious finger pointers at this summit will demand YOU drive less, demand YOU pay more for a car that can accommodate your family.
Never mind you should fly less too, of course, stop going on overseas holidays, or planes should carry more people less often, pack them in tight unless you are going to the summit:
The airport says it is expecting up to 140 extra private jets during the peak period alone, so far over its capacity that the planes will have to fly off to regional airports – or to Sweden – to park, returning to Copenhagen to pick up their VIP passengers.
and if you want people to get angry at then:
As well 15,000 delegates and officials, 5,000 journalists and 98 world leaders, the Danish capital will be blessed by the presence of Leonardo DiCaprio, Daryl Hannah, Helena Christensen, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Prince Charles.
Of course the delegates may have a new reason to go, if they feel a bit sex starved and think Danish women (or men) might be worth a try:
Outraged by a council postcard urging delegates to "be sustainable, don't buy sex," the local sex workers' union – they have unions here – has announced that all its 1,400 members will give free intercourse to anyone with a climate conference delegate's pass.

So the conference need not just be an exercise in mutual onanism at the expense of global taxpayers and (if you believe what they claim to believe) the level of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, the man who ran Britain into the ground financially, with near constant financial deficits during the good times and who claims fiscal child abuse is "investment", thinks if you don't believe in climate change you're a "flat earther". Nice to see open debate is allowed by Gordon "Stalin" Brown, but then who cares what he thinks, economic genius as he is.
UPDATE: Why refer to Gordon Brown as Stalinist? Well no less than his former permanent secretary to the Treasury referred to his management style as such.

Gordon "Stalin" Brown,
Gone off the deep end have we?
"deep end"?
The only real difference between Brown and Stalin is the body count.
Stephen calling people nazis and fascists is standard fare for libertarians and the like. Imperator Fish reckons this equates to being intellectually bankrupt though to be fair he was writing about Lindsay Perigo who had done a particularly vicious piece on solo mothers. Ian
Anonymous, your pig ignorance could have been avoided by a simple search on Google of the words "Gordon Brown" and "Stalin". StephenR I can excuse for not being personal. Lord Turnbill described Brown's management as "Stalinist ruthlessness"

I didn't just throw the word in for effect, I know from a first hand account that he runs a tight ship, takes no prisoners and is ruthless against those who disagree with him.
Thanks for the explanation, i'd be a bit miffed if I thought this was turning into another wingnut blog.
