Copenhagen Conference Crashes
<p>Well, it&#8217;s happened.  The Copenhagen climate conference has concluded with a three-page fig-leaf over its naked failure that even the New York Times <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/19/science/earth/19climate.html?_r=1">can&#8217;t spin as good news for the AGW alarmists</a>.  It&#8217;s kind of entertaining to watch them try, actually, but the glum tone of the report is palpable.</p>
<p>The best laugh line from the article is that President Obama left before the vote on the document because he wanted to get back to Washington <em>ahead of a major snowstorm</em>.  Yeah, I know, weather not climate, but it&#8217;s still funny.  Good thing Al Gore cancelled or they&#8217;d probably be trying to <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/mar/04/the-gore-effect/">dig out from under record accumulation</a>.</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t say this was the <em>best</em> possible outcome from Copenhagen; the best possible outcome would have been an outright PR disaster that wrecked the careers of everyone even remotely connected with this boondoggle. And yes, on a sane planet the fact that they invited Robert Mugabe,  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez to speak would have <em>been</em> that PR disaster; cripes, were they trying for the thug-tyrant trifecta? But having all that sound and fury add up to a big fat nothing is excellent.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s excellent because, by the time the kleptocrat gang at the UN can wind up for another try, the likelihood is that the &#8220;scientific&#8221; support for their AGW scam will have been entirely exposed as a tissue of fraud.  That&#8217;s the way things seem to be heading, anyway.  Faster, please!</p>
