[Fudged data]: This Decade Is Warmest on Record, 2009 Ranks Fifth (Update1) - Bloomberg.com
The failure of temperatures to rise above 1998 levels while emissions of carbon dioxide have gone up is an indication the gas is just “one factor out of hundreds” that determine the Earth’s temperature, according to former U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee staff member Marc Morano.

“You can’t distinguish rising CO2 from natural variability,” Morano said in a telephone interview from Washington. “To sit there and say that CO2 is the sole driving factor as Al Gore and many others have tried to do is no longer scientifically tenable.”
December 2009
The small but welcome flurry of democracy in Australia has become a side issue. The impact of the Climategate whistleblower is in the process of being shrugged off by the privileged throng who have converged on Copenhagen in their limousines and private jets.

The Fox Who Had Lost His Tail « Charles Rowley's Blog
Let us hope that the alpha-male US fox, at the forthcoming meeting of all the foxes in Copenhagen in December 2009, remembers this fable, and understands its meaning, when listening to the pleas of all those foxes from Continental Europe who have already cut off their own tails, and now beg those that are yet not disfigured to mutilate themselves likewise.

Taking a private jet to a conference on stopping global warming is a bit like traveling in a sedan chair carried by indentured servants to a summit on stopping human trafficking. Except we’re the ones they want to enslave.
