The fetid stench of global warming-carbon footprint hypocrisy is again in the air. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT inhale too deeply.

The thought bubbles over the heads of the world’s leaders traveling to Copenhagen: Do as I say, not as I do, you ungrateful, energy-hogging peasants. I’m trying to save the planet, and if I have to rack up my bloody carbon footprint to do it, it’s well worth the sacrifice.

And what about ClimateGate, with the mounting evidence of thousands of emails that the whole global-warming-enchilada is a contrived greed-driven hoax, a gigantic scam, a myth, a manipulation of raw data by power-hungry, unscrupulous scientists who would squash and destroy anyone who dared oppose their bogus, compromised research, or who even asked to give it a peer-review “look-see”?

Shrug, smirk, silence. You can’t fill nations’ coffers and politicians’ bank accounts by overtaxing citizens on NOTHING, you ninnies. CO2 is the golden goose.

California’s abrasive senatorial dimwit, Barbara “Don’t Call Me Ma’am” Boxer, who has spearheaded most of the global warming pow wows in Congress, wants us to ignore the thousands of correspondences that indicate global cooling is occurring and a number of scientists and, quite possibly, industry leaders and politicians were involved in an audacious cover-up. That they intimidated naysayers. That they laughed when a scientist who was a major challenger to their bunk science died. That they confessed that they fudged numbers to be able to create the desired “hockey stick” graph. Or should we call it now the HOKEY stick graph? The HOKUM stick graph? The HOKEY-POKEY or HOCUS-POCUS stick graph? Credibility and trust for the data of these criminal climate scientists has been destroyed, going down the betrayal drain before Thanksgiving when ClimateGate first broke… but not for Sen. Boxer or Team Obama or Al Gore.

GayPatriot lets her have it with both barrels… bravo! Ma’am Tries to Change Climategate Narrative

Repeat after me: Global warming is a hoax. Cap and trade is a scam. Polar bears are flourishing. Arctic ice caps are not melting away.

Instead of applauding the discovery of this game-breaking, important information, Sen. Boxer wants to just blow it off, disregard it. Boxer, who is likely now madder than a wet peahen about this whole “fly in the CO2 ointment” debacle, wants to change this scandal’s nickname from “ClimateGate” to some lame nonsense like “Email-Hacker-Gate” and then find and PUNISH the email hackers who uncovered this monstrous fraud.

Really, Barbie? Really? That’s more important to you? Not examining the incriminating emails, making very sure that this outrageously expensive trillion-dollar decision that will effect all future generations of Americans is the RIGHT DECISION? Not spending some quality time reviewing this new information to see if there is indeed any truth to the global cooling assertions? You think looking out for your constituents, being a good steward of taxpayers’ money and their liberties is a big waste of your time, but want to zealously go after the anonymous email hackers? Even though it is believed they are in RUSSIA? Honey, you need to take a deep breath, stop insulting the military and blacks, and perhaps up your medication because this is making California voters hate you even more than they already do… remember how you ditched them at last summer’s ObamaCare town hall meetings so that you could hawk your latest book instead? Chuck DeVore looks like a benevolent genius next to this vain, evil, Bubble-Headed Barbie about now… yes, California? Vote Boxer out, vote DeVore in. Done and done… and good riddance.

It smells like Barbie Boxer somehow stands to make MILLIONS upon MILLIONS with some shifty, weaselly cap-and-trade arrangement, and so, she will blindly defend cap and trade to her final dying breath.

UPDATE… BREAKING NOVEMBER 3, 2009: Things are really starting to “heat up” now (yes, pun was intended):

And the beat goes on… in Copenhagen.

From FOX News: Copenhagen Climate Conference to Create ‘Huge’ Carbon Footprint:

Talk about your global warming . . . When an estimated 16,500 delegates, activists and reporters descend upon Copenhagen Monday for the United Nations Climate Change Conference, a lot of hot air will follow.

The U.N. estimates the 12-day conference will create 40,584 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents, roughly the same amount as the carbon emissions of Morocco in 2006.

Those greenhouse gas emissions are comprised of two parts: international travel and local emissions from hotels and transportation venues. Organizers will also reportedly lay 900 kilometers of computer cable and 50,000 square miles of carpet, along with more than 200,000 meals to be served and 200,000 cups of coffee.

The conference will leave an enormous carbon footprint, says Patrick Michaels, senior fellow for environmental studies at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank in Washington.

The staggering disregard for the environment and carbon footprints and pollution doesn’t stop there… oh, no, this is just the beginning of the hypocrisy.

“It will be huge,” Michaels said of the environmental toll. “Where is video conferencing when we need it? An equally important question is what will be accomplished here?”

Approximately 140 aircraft carrying world leaders, heads of state and VIPs will land in Copenhagen, the U.N. estimates — although 95 percent of departures from Copenhagen Airport will be “green departures,” which allow airplanes to climb continuously to their optimal operating level, enabling them to reach planned routes sooner than usual. The result, according to the U.N., is saved time, fuel and carbon emissions.

But Michaels wonders why attendees, particularly those in Europe, can’t ride the rails into Copenhagen.

“That’s the way I get to New York,” Michaels said. “There’s nothing new here. There’s always been a lot of hypocrisy amongst the climate change political community.

“Prince Charles goes around the world in a private jet, telling everyone else they need to ration their carbon dioxide. Please.”

Herb London, president of the Hudson Institute, a Washington-based think tank, acknowledged the “level of hypocrisy” regarding the conference and its emissions, but he said living in modernity mandates some sort of measurable carbon footprint. The question, he said, is if the carbon footprint left behind is desirable and efficient.

“It is ironic that you’ll have all these pronouncements made and very little action,” London told FoxNews.com. “What are [China and India] going to do? So what are we talking about here?”

To minimize the conference’s carbon footprint, the U.N. says the main venue, The Bella Center, aims to reach a 20 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. To reach that goal, delegates have been urged to use public transportation to the site, to drink water from the tap instead of plastic bottles, and to minimize paper waste. Hotel owners have been asked to offer rooms that have been certified as environment-friendly.

Despite those efforts, Michaels said he expects little if any firm proposals to come out of the conference, which aims to produce a new treaty to replace the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.

“It will not produce a concrete agreement on climate change, meaning a universally-accepted international agreement with targets and timetables,” Michaels said. “It will, however, produce a statement that there’s been a breakthrough even though there will not have been.”

President Obama will travel to the Danish capital on Dec. 9 to offer his goal of cutting emissions 17 percent by 2020, in line with a bill passed by the House in June and slightly less than a 20-percent decrease proposed in the Senate.

“The president going to Copenhagen will give positive momentum to the negotiations,” Michael Froman, Obama’s deputy national security adviser for international economies, told reporters last month. “We think it will enhance prospects for success.”

Joined by up to seven cabinet members, Obama will also propose reducing emissions by 83 percent by 2050 and a 30 percent reduction in 2005 levels by 2025. China and India have said industrialized countries like the United States — the biggest greenhouse gas producer among developed nations — must be willing to slash carbon output 40 percent by 2020 from 1990 levels if it expects poorer economies to agree to long-term goals.

Polar Bear Population Explosion: Greenpeace admitted exaggerating about Arctic ice melting. Polar bear populations are now FIVE TIMES higher than they were in the 1960s. Al Gore, what say you to that?
