ROTFLMAO

How marvellous a punchline for this farce of a summit, as snow settles on
the globes erected to publicise our warming world:
"...a Washington snowstorm is forcing Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, to
make an early departure from a global warming summit here in Denmark."
In fact, there's an endless supply of regional varieties of the same joke.
Here's one about Barack Obama at the same global warming summit:
"The president had arrived in the Danish capital hours earlier, amid stiff
winds and driving snow, and headed toward the convention center, where
delegates had worked through the night trying to draft a climate document
the world could agree to."
Or there's the Scottish version:
"Copenhagen isn't only place having climate problems. Scotland was in the
grip of a big freeze last night that disrupted travel plans and threatened
the weekend's sports fixtures. But heavy snow showers forecast for the
weekend have raised hopes of a bumper start to the week for Scotland's ski
centres."
Or you can tell the Alaskan one:
"All the experts says the effects of climate change will be felt most in
Alaska, home of the ex-governor who contends climate change is no big deal.
Good thing she wasn't in Valdez this week when the citizenry got buried
under a record snowfall. "
"We're not talking about your ordinary little dump here. That was in
Copenhagen, where world leaders were meeting to discuss what to do about
global warming and the Bloomberg news service was warning that Barack Obama
and the rest would "face freezing weather as a blizzard dumped 10
centimeters (4 inches) of snow on the Danish capital overnight.'' "
"Four inches overnight? Valdez got more than four inches per hour..."

"It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps
US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists
worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct
from natural variation."

Snippy..
Who would of thunk it.. On the cusp of Winter solstice, shortest day
of sunlight, Dec 20, it's snowing in a Copenhagen, Denmark 55.7 N
city which is has a latitude north of Dutch harbor, Alaska 53.9 N !!
Am I impressed ... NOT..
Just think... At this point in time 65 years ago today, GI's where
fighting both sub zero(0F, -17C) temps and the German's in the Arden
forest(50.0N).
