I thought maybe CO2 was a myth, but I remembered I used to measure it in blood.

theweathernetwork.com Blizzard Dumps Snow on Copenhagen as Leaders Battle Warming Dec. 17 (Bloomberg) -- World leaders flying into Copenhagen today to discuss a solution to global warming will first face freezing weather as a blizzard dumped 10 centimeters (4 inches) of snow on the Danish capital overnight. “Temperatures will stay low at least the next three days,” Henning Gisseloe, an official at Denmark’s Meteorological Institute, said today by telephone, forecasting more snow in coming days. “There’s a good chance of a white Christmas.” Delegates from 193 countries have been in Copenhagen since Dec. 7 to discuss how to fund global greenhouse gas emission cuts. U.S. President Barack Obama will arrive before the summit is scheduled to end tomorrow. Denmark has a maritime climate and milder winters than its Scandinavian neighbors. It hasn’t had a white Christmas for 14 years, under the DMI’s definition, and only had seven last century. Temperatures today fell as low as minus 4 Celsius (25 Fahrenheit). DMI defines a white Christmas as 90 percent of the country being covered by at least 2 centimeters of snow on the afternoon of Dec. 24. bloomberg.com

Gore Refuses ClimateGate Questions And a UN official disconnects the mic. DECEMBER 15, 2009, 3:43 P.M. ET. By NOEL SHEPPARD From the Media Research Center United Nations security officials have once again prevented a journalist from asking attendees at the climate change conference in Copenhagen questions about the growing ClimateGate scandal. This time, the person on the receiving end of the apparently forbidden queries was Nobel Laureate Al Gore. Much as when Ireland's Phelim McAleer tried to ask Stanford professor Stephen Schneider questions Thursday about the controversial e-mail messages obtained from the British Climatic Research Unit last month, McAleer was similarly rebuffed by Gore and his entourage Monday. Not only did the former Vice President completely refuse to answer questions about his blatant misrepresentations of the age of the most recent e-mail message obtained from Britain's CRU, a U.N. security official actually disconnected McAleer's microphone to make sure any answers would be unrecorded. As reported by Not Evil Just Wrong Monday: In several recent interviews the former vice president said that the Climategate emails were "sound and fury signifying nothing...the most recent one is more than 10 years old." However the reality is that the most recent email from Climategate is less than two months old. The emails undermine the science of Climate Alarmism and that is why the alarmists are so reluctant to address them or like Mr Gore they make factually incorrect statements about how relevant they are. Mr. Gore says he cares a lot about science and scientific accuracy. His whole theory of Climate Alarmism depends on it but today at the United Nations Copenhagen Climate Conference he refused several opportunities to correct the record when asked about his errors by journalist and film maker Phelim McAleer. Instead his Press Secretary grabbed McAleer's microphone to stop questions being put to the vice-president. Have U.N. security officials been instructed to prevent journalists from asking climate realists uncomfortable questions? Consider what happened when McAleer tried to ask Gore confidant Dr. Schneider about ClimateGate days earlier. This is some scary stuff, folks. Yet, according to LexisNexis, the only major media outlet to report the Schneider incident was the Washington Times. Will this episode go similarly ignored? More importantly, will Gore EVER have to answer questions concerning the falsehoods he continually spreads? For accompanying videos, visit newsbusters.org. online.wsj.com HT: JakeStraw
