The protesters take their activities very seriously. A communique by Greenpeace informs the world that while heads of state were dining, "Greenpeace volunteers were out on the streets of Copenhagen, climbing lampposts to carry our theme of the day: politicians talk, leaders act".

In this comic drama, climbing lampposts is presented as an initiative that is morally superior to the diplomatic negotiations. The organisers of this spectacle appear to agree, which is why lamppost climbers are treated as if they are the voice of the people, whose job it is to keep the proceedings real. Outwardly, world leaders defer to their moral authority. That is what British Prime Minister Gordon Brown means when he praises protesters for propelling world leaders.

Fredericksburg.com - 'Scientists' seek global warming: They'll find it

History check: The Earth has been going through cooling cycles and warming cycles since there was an Earth. The difference is that until lately, we have not had a group of scientists (and I use that term in the loosest sense possible) "fudging" the data so that it agrees with their ideology.

Anyone who has the illusion that "scientists" are "pure" and are above that sort of thing obviously doesn't know many scientists.

(Oh, by the way, I have a Ph.D. in physics so I know scientists and I know all about the grant system.)
