Welcome To The Tree-Hugger Ball

Then Again...It's Pretty Clear That Tree-Huggers Don't Have Balls

COPENHAGEN -- "Shakespeare's Marcellus was right. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

In this hotbed of homogeneity, where global warming is a sacred assumption for the faithful, 15,000 people will come together from 192 countries to pray for two weeks over what can be done to save the Earth from certain doom. Few places are better suited to handle the throngs of unquestioning believers who will journey from around the globe.

Dissent is not tolerated, and diversity -- in any form other than biodiversity -- is not welcome here.

But it turns out that Denmark's big claim to greenery isn't quite so impressive when you find out that they do not include one of their biggest and dirtiest industries -- shipping -- in calculating their annual carbon footprint.

That's because the last great world climate treaty, Kyoto, does not make them include their nasty shipping business in the calculation. No wonder the Danes liked that so much.

But this crowd gathering here is far worse than just a bunch of hand-wringing Hamlets dithering in Denmark.

Some 40,000 tons of carbon will be spewed getting this crowd together and keeping them in comfort.

That is the daily amount of carbon dioxide produced by 30 of the world's smaller countries, according to UN statistics."

Ah hells bells, the tree-huggers NEVER count themselves as mere peons to be disadvantaged, and have ALWAYS moved heaven and earth to satisfy their every whim. That's why most of the countries attending still have kings and queens, and hey....America is sending the man-that-would-be-emperor who charters government owned jets and helicopters and fleets of gigunda SUV's just to take his wife to a Broadway show.
