Copenhagen Climate Summit: " Shameful show of hypocrites"

Published on : 11 December 2009 - 9:49am | By Thijs Westerbeek van Eerten
More about:

Copenhagen seems to have become the center of the universe. Almost 200 countries are present at the United Nations Climate Summit. Chances to get to a treaty are remote. At best, there will be an agreement to keep trying, says RNW's senior foreign affairs analyst Bernard Hammelburg.

Climate change yeah right! It used to be called global warming until they found the earth was cooling. Without dought we do have a serious pollution issue especially in the northern hemisspere but to say climate change is man made needs to be seriously questioned. While this ideollogy is a grand noble cause it has been built on lies and deceipt. Sure the oceans are rising as they would when the worlds rivers and eroding coastlines dump billions of tons of silt into the ocean every year displacing billions of cubic metres of water, thus the level rises. Im more concerned that we hav'nt been swamped already begging the question, Where is our water going? Low lying island are claiming they are being swamped by rising sea's yet nowhere else have these levels risen to a noticable level. It appears that these poorer countries are seizing the opportunity to gouge money from supposedly wealthy countries, its just another lie. The occasional collapse of ice shelves in antarctica are cyclical ( 30-40 yrs ) yet this is being used to argue climate change, yet another lie. The Arctic melt now conciderable is more likely to be caused by the Earths northern polar axis spiralling off its central position like a slowing spinning top, an event that has been gradual for the last 40 years. Has'nt anyone noticed the sun sets further south every year. Eventually the Earth will have a catastrophic shift and settle into a new position something that may have happened before with two events recoded in the King James Bible 2 Kings ch 20 v 9 and Isiah ch 38 v 8 "Which is...in the sundial of Ahaz...so the sun returned 10 degrees." Its seems that we are rushing into this carbon tax nonsense without evaluating the true facts or is it just a trick to impose a new citizen tax that funds the new world order. More likely I think. In the last days you will be led by liars cheats and deceivers of men. Good luck you'll need it.

To the commenter from New Zealand. Do not worry. There is absolutely no evidence that mankind has ever (even once) changed its collective group behaviour in order to avert an ecological catastrophe. No evidence of any kind. But there are myriad examples to the contrary. So even if your allegedly-fake global warming were to occur, mankind is going to do nothing substantive anyhow and therefore what you seem to be wanting will happen either way.
