Copenhagen Summit Turned Junket? CBS Evening News: At Least 20 Members of Congress Made the Trip to Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen Last Month

[Video] Senator Inhofe (R-OK) is one of the few who provided us any detail. He attended the summit on his own for just a few hours, to give an "opposing view."

"They're going because it's the biggest party of the year," Sen. Inhofe said. "The worst thing that happened there is they ran out of caviar."

Our investigation found that the congressional delegation was so large, it needed three military jets: two 737's and a Gulfstream Five -- up to 64 passengers -- traveling in luxurious comfort.

Add senators and staff, most of whom flew commercial, and we counted at least 101 Congress-related attendees. All for a summit that failed to deliver a global climate deal.

And all those attendees who went to the summit rather than hooking up by teleconference? They produced enough climate-stunting carbon dioxide to fill 10,000 Olympic swimming pools.

The Daily Bayonet » An Inconvenient Winter

As if this wasn’t bad enough, Al Gore, the global warming profiteer prophet has disappeared just when hippies his people could use a bit of reassurance that it will warm again. There’s been nothing on Al’s blog since Christmas Eve.

Al was on the case when news stories reported that arctic ice was melting, and when they said Antarctic ice was melting too. He didn’t let the news that the west was warming escape our notice, or that the oceans were warming, he even suggested insurance companies should factor climate change into their actuary charts, or something.
