Marc Morano on the "historic" Paris climate deal

Climat Depot´s Marc Morano´s comment on the "historic" climate deal in Paris is worth citing:

I spent the last week in Paris marveling at how so many believe a form of modern witchcraft: That a UN agreement or EPA climate regulations can alter Earth's temperature and the level of storms. But now I realize that if they truly believe the UN has solved 'climate change' even skeptics should rejoice! Now that the UN treaty has 'solved' global warming, can we all just move on to something else?

Angela Merkel is Time´s "Person of the Year" 2015

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been chosen "Man Person of the Year" by Time Magazine.

Time always tries to find the person, who "for better or for worse...has done the most to influence the events of the year". This year the Time judges obviously opted for a person in the second category, thus putting Frau Merkel in the group consisting of such luminaries as Vladimir Putin, Deng Xiaoping and Yuri Andropov ...

Hype Olympics: World leaders in Paris in order to save "the future of the planet and the future of life"

"Today is an historic day. Never has a conference received so many authorities from so many countries. Never, I say never, have the stakes of an international meeting been so high, for this is about the future of the planet and the future of life."

Francois Hollande at the opening of the COP 21 global warming jamboree

Never, I say never, has there been so much empty hype at any gathering as today in Paris! The sooner this wasteful and totally useless climate hype show is over, the better - also for the environment!

Pope Francis - A strong believer in the global warming religion

Make no mistake, Pope Franics is above all an ardent believer in the global warming religion. This is what the Pope - in reality a leftist greenie - told his listerners a couple of days ago:

Pope Francis is warning that it would be “catastrophic” if special interests get in the way of a global agreement to curb the fossil fuel emissions blamed for global warming at a meeting next week in Paris over climate change. In a speech to the African U.N. headquarters on Thursday, Francis said the Paris negotiations mark a crucial step in developing a new energy system that “corrects the dysfunctions and distortions” of the current model of development and fights poverty.                 Francis has made ecological concerns a hallmark of his nearly 3-year-old papacy. But on Thursday, he took particular aim at those who deny the science behind climate change.

The BBC on new 20 country poll: "Public support for a strong global deal on climate change has declined"

Kudos to the BBC for bringing us the findings of the new GlobeScan poll, which confirms that years of mainstream media global warming propaganda has led to even greater skepticism among ordinary people:

Public support for a strong global deal on climate change has declined, according to a poll carried out in 20 countries.

Only four now have majorities in favour of their governments setting ambitious targets at a global conference in Paris.
In a similar poll before the Copenhagen meeting in 2009, eight countries had majorities favouring tough action.
The poll has been provided to the BBC by research group GlobeScan.
Just under half of all those surveyed viewed climate change as a "very serious" problem this year, compared with 63% in 2009.

The findings will make sober reading for global political leaders, who will gather in Paris next week for the start of the United Nations climate conference, known as COP21.

Another royalty speaks out about global warming: The King of Sweden calls for a global ban on bathtubs

Fighting global warming seems to have become a truly royal cause. It seems that Sweden´s King Carl XVI Gustaf does not want Britain´s Prince Charles to be the only royalty who gets good publicity by talking about the dangers of climate change:

King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden has called for a ban on bathtubs to help cut emissions in an interview ahead of UN climate talks in Paris.

“All bathtubs should be banned. Just imagine it!”, he exclaimed in an interview published in the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper on Saturday.

 

Carl XVI Gustaf said that the idea had come to him the day before the interview, as he was going through his morning routine and was forced to run a bath, because the room in which he was staying lacked a shower.

  

“It took a lot of fresh water and energy,” he said. “It struck me so clearly: it’s not wise that I have to do this. I really felt ashamed then, I really did.” 

 

Later in the interview, he cautioned that the suggestion was a little “lighthearted”. 

 

“But there is a truth there,” he maintained. “Those small details have an enormous effect.”
