Default OT-Getting Gored

As preparations are underway for next week's United Nations climate change
meeting in Copenhagen, where 16,500 people from 192 countries will fly in
using private jets, consume 200,000 meals and produce an estimated 41,000
tons of carbon dioxide, roughly the same as the carbon emissions of Morocco
in 2006.

Did they buy carbon credits ?

Al Gore apparently has canceled a high-priced speaking engagement during the
upcoming climate change conference in Copenhagen.

As NewsBusters reported Tuesday, the Nobel Laureate was slated to lecture
about his new book "Our Choice" where attendees could pay over $1,200 a
ticket for the right to meet the Global Warmingist-in-Chief and have their
picture taken with him.

Sorry no refunds you get carbon credits for a future engagement.

According to Danish newspaper Berlingske, this has been canceled due to
unforeseen changes. Should read revelations.

Will big Al give back his Oscar ?

Two members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have called
on the group to take back the Oscar awarded to ex-Vice President Al Gore for
the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."

Roger L. Simon and Lionel Chetwynd made the request based on the e-mails
released by a hacker/whistle blower that shows so called scientists at the
University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit systematically falsifying
data to support the theory that the earth is hearing up and that humans
caused it. These folks may have committed a criminal act in seeking to
destroy data that was the subject of a Freedom of Information act request.
