The current conference in Copenhagen has witnessed the use of 1200 limosines shunning public transportation. Copenhagen had to get a number of the limos from neighboring Germany to fill the order. Is this because of a security risk for the attendees or is it an elitist way of dealing with the problem from a distance?

  wow, limos? if i was attending this conference, i would have said no limos. that's just wrong. why didn't one of those Hybrid car companies offer a fleet of free cars for the occasion?

  In fairness to Obama, this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and he's the president of the US. It's not like he's using 1200 limos on a daily basis. There's a point where people ought to knock off the pick-pick-picking-apart of every last thing that gets done. Really - should a president and/or Nobel-Prize winner be using public transportationto events? I have more than my share of things to pick him apart over, but I think this is a non-issue.

  The limousines have nothing to do with the merit of the issues being discussed. It's an unnecessary and pretty meaningless diversion. Where I live in Detroit limos or taxis are the only way for travelers to get to and from the airport. This is true in many cities all over the world. Perhaps the sponsors in Copenhagen could have done a better job of pointing the visitors to public transportation. Unfortunate.

  Yes. The populist crap is just a diversion from real issues. I get sick of it. I dunno, could it be a security issue or a diplomatic issue that they didn't take public transportation?
  
  Another thing that gets me is the promotion of the supposed wealth of some politicians--ie, Obama. Yeah, he has a nice house...but houses in the million dollar(s) range are not that unusual in cities like Chicago and New York. When I lived in NYC, we had friends with an apt. at 1 million. He was a computer programmer, she was an admin. assist. This was kinda typical.
  
  I hate ridiculous misrepresentation.

  Like you know anything. Especially living out in a shack near Wichita.
  
  I assume you know they buy apts. like they buy houses in other parts of the country? It was a typical middle class apt., west side.
  
  It would probably be easier if you didn't try to pretend to be something you are not.

  Just FYI, Hubpages posts all people's IP's, so that the owner of the hub can monitor unwanted and abusive comments. An IP is also considered public information. You are not very well informed. This is common knowledge.
  
  Also, your display--obsessively using swear words towards various other writers on this site, on their hubs--is proof of your anger issues, as is your behavior all over the web on other forums.
  
  You have nobody here with any common sense fooled at all. And Hubpage management has another agenda towards letting you remain here, which I am sure is all their own.

  No, your info is not accurate. It's not unusual for people who are "beginning" to do something to think they know more than they do or will in time (if they stick with it - some people 'begin' lots of things but have the attention span of a teenager on a sugar-rush and 'begin' something else before really getting anywhere). I really can't speak to the unemployed in Kansas so I won't (see how that works?).

  Do I give a crap about what a, uh, successful troll thinks? The house I live in now is valued at $400,000...as is. The houses Matt designs are in the multi-million dollar range. Look up Sedona. The market here is actually very similar to the market in NYC, only salaries are not commiserate overall. That's because the state's economy is based on construction and tourism mainly--especially in this area.
  
  Your entire outlook and writing/posting is that of an older, conservative rural Midwestern person who has not been out of the house much.

  I would agree to a certain extent. Some of the data they were espousing now seems to be suspiciously false but not everything. I know it is hard to accept anything from a liar but not all of them were.
  
  The pathetic part of this is the hypocrisy of claiming environmental catastrophe and then ignoring the bad example they set with their flagrant ignorance by their lifestyle. A report on CNN showed how the busses and trains were empty while the participants got out of their limos.
  
  It reminds me of the auto executives getting off their private planes in DC with a tin cup in their hand.

There has to be some sort of acknowledgement from the scientists that the emails greatly feed the naysayers and if anything good is to come from this conference the reprimand or expulsion of these individuals caught in this deceit should happen to get some credibility.

  I am all for further investigation and real solutions based on those findings but the findings must be substantiated before we throw a bunch of resources and time at it.

The overwhelming, easy remedy is to charter busses or even trains to take them to and from. Even security could be provided on public transport. Yes, it's elitist. Their shallow excuses are too completely overwhelmed by their entitlement issues. They are the world's most affluent consumers, the biggest of all who promote easy disposal, and then because of entitlement espouse issues that will increase their status and notoriety, under the guise of making the world better.

Indeed these people don't want dire poverty and suffering, but neither do they want the world to be affluent, otherwise they lose control over the masses. It's a delicate balance and a carefully orchestrated charade, regardless of how factual the evidence is for and against global warming and any other debatable social isssue.

  Daniel Carterposted 14 years agoin reply to this
  "Saving face" is perhaps part of the motive. The evidence may not be as severe as our beloved Al Gore promotes, and therefore, credibility is in danger of being blown to bits by conservatives. The factual picture may be somewhere between the two extremes of non-problem to extreme-problem, and therefore, it takes the wind out of the sails of present science. What that does NOT do is give an accurate picture of the rate and potential danger it causes in the immediate to distant future. So creating the Chicken Little syndrome and saying the sky is falling is the more prudent approach to liberals and scientists for the sake of "cleaning it up," and keeping funding for further research. (But again, how accurate is the research going to be, really?)
  
  My personal view is that global warming is not a charade. If you look on a microcosmos level at pollution and its effects on persons, animal and plant life alone, you begin to piece together the big picture. What I think has happened is that we have a bunch of scientists and liberal politicians who have subscribed to the "end of the world" show, and have big money invested in it. While I think that's fundamentally wrong, I do think there is a real threat about environmental issues, but I don't think it's been presented clearly or in an unbiased way. I just don't think it's dooms-day. I think it's problematic, that's all.

It must be considered that all of this discussion and the base assumption of “global ecological damage” surrounds money and political power, the means to obtain it and the progressive panacea of a one-world government.

These are but the first steps in the maneuvers towards that end, global currency will be next.

  I don't think you can stop the world currency from happening now anyway. With global trade so ingrained into our world and domestic footprint it is truly inevitible.

  That is a peculiar conundrum I admit but there is a conspiracy element with regard to monetary gain that has some legs to it.
  
  I was watching a story last night about the glaciers in the arctic circle and how when measured were getting taller which would refute the claims that they were melting more quickly than in the past. The lead geologist found that indeed they were taller than even two years ago but not for the reasons we are led to believe. He said that as the glacier is melting the water is going underneath and raising it by making it float higher. I believe more study is needed and we have to find a credible way to get to the bottom of the rate there is warming and what can be done to slow it.

  Meteorology can't predict with 75% Certainty regarding weather changes outside of 72hrs. However I'm supposed to believe them with 100% certainty what they predict regarding climate change over the next 10 to 30 years. Not doing so makes me a "Right Wing Nut", "Conspiracy Theorist", etc.....maybe I'm just a realist.
  This is a niche of science that hasn't enjoyed a good reputation for reliability. They certainly aren't helping their cause....

  Many of the deniers are liars financed by EXXON and the American electric power industry, including the MIT professor Richard Lindzen who everybody likes to cite. A big majority of scientists believe there is cause for concern over global warming. Lindzen has also expressed doubt about whether smoking causes lung cancer. He's known as a contrarian, a kind of troll in the scientific world.

Which reminds me of an old Russian joke. To give you a necessary background, they do announce the next stop when leaving the current one, in Moscow Metro(Underground).

So, terrorists captured a metro train, and putting a gun against operator's head demand he drive them to Copenhagen. The operator tries to explain that it is impossible to go anywhere but already dug tunnels, but he is confronted with a clear choice - either drive to Copenhagen, or get a hole in your head. So, he announces to the train: "Be careful, doors are closing. The next stop is Copenhagen".
