don’t you just love how the greenpeace symbols of the dove with the olive branch and the rainbow are straight out genesis, of Noah and the Ark?.

Who wants to listen to the likes of Lawless, Salinger and the other young woman whose name I cannot remember – she made a film one I believe, who are rather lazy and stupid puppets of Greenpeace, a huge financial conglomerate worldwide. It has a pyramid selling technique, rather like a ponzi, to obtain money from gullible ignorant people.

Toad, who the hell is Lucy Lawless?

Seriously who elected her? You guys really struggle with the concept of a representative democracy don’t you.

I bet Greenpeace doesn’t want to pay any more!
Even Al Gore has pulled out of going to Copenhagen – I think JK is going just to watch the s*** hit the fan now that the truth behind the justification is coming out, and the whole cost/benefit equation is clearly looking so scandalous. Hey, I’d like to be a fly on the wall! The only worry now are the crazy socialist Euros and Yanks. At least the socialist Aussies have been dealt to.
If the climate change driven trade blackmail from Europe and America is dropped I suppose we can look for our ETS to be withdrawn next year.
I hope the world will start to refocus on the serious issues, like standards of living in all countries, but especially those where poverty prevails. A fraction of the resources spent on this socialist inspired climate change diversion and power play over the last decade could have made vast differences to human welfare and political stability in many parts of the world.
Hopefully it will also put to bed any further objection to the development of our offshore drilling programme. Might even let us exploit our vast coal resource.

i think the point that is being missed in all this is that of Fonterra and our economy:
I beleive that the majority of Fonterra product is made into milk powder. Who is probably the largest single purchaser of said product?
One very large corrupt warmist org based in New York!
It is highly likely that no ETS then lower powder sales???
Conspiracy theory; possibly however it is more likely than some i have heard recently.

If I see Key on TV giving one more of those “heh, I just fell off the turnip truck comin into town” looks, I’m going to start gettin cross! Enough is enough. And now the stupid man is going to Carbinhagin.
If I, a scientific nobody, realises that its time to “PULL UP”, on this issue, why doesn’t he?

The idiot known as Lawless should be careful; her delivery boy partner, Jim “Numbers” Salinger has probably adjusted the cheque upwards to account for his court case.

What about only collecting $2500 and getting Key a one way ticket?

Have Met and Red Russ managed to reign in your lot yet?

I imagine they gave him a lot more than just $5000 to go.

He turned it down, he refused to see them. He can’t go ask for it now.

Hmmm… The Dom Post politics quiz has this question:

True or False: John Key changed his mind about going to a climate change summit in Copenhagen because Barack Obama is going.
• True
• False

I chose True, but was marked incorrect. Huh?

I’m sure Lucy Lawless’ offer still stands, and I’m sure John Key will decline to take it up. One thing I do like about the PM is that he doesn’t rort every dollar he can possibly can. I wish his Ministers and MPs would follow that lead, but Deputy Double Dipton leads the pack of rorters, and despite his setting a high standard of responsibility himself, Key seems unable to rein them in.

Shes still sulking that John isn’t on call for her.

Maybe if she was actually a kiwi and not just another hollywood loon I’d care.

Well it was a flip flop.
His schedule is like that of Britney Spears. Commit to this then cancel ( Dalai Lama) , refuse to go to that and then go after all. Many other instances in policy areas as well( Working for families ,Iraqi War, etc)

Lets face it doing it like this means Key has become like a pop princess. He doesnt seem to have it in his head that hes now John Key PM, the two being completely linked.

DRHILL, I believe there is a third option to your logic – ‘not dammed if he did in the first place’.

Ignoring the fact that the governments commitments are inconsistent with the fundamentally flawed ETS recently passed…

I loved how the media reported this. First off it was “Why isn’t John Key going, why not, why why?????” The second he changes his mind the media switches stories “Is John Key a Flip Flop for going?”

Dammed if you do, Dammed if you don’t.
