Upon arriving in Copenhagen this morning, U.S. President Barack Obama convened a meeting of 19 other world leaders. The meeting included British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, but not Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Harper’s office says it was the Danes who were responsible for compiling the guest list.

    Big wup. I am proud of you Stevie boy. You weren't suckered in by the anti-capitalist maggots including Canuckistans media who were/are trying to stel trillions of our money and give it to the maggots. This crap is nothing more than a religion by the same mentality that followed Hitler. The biggest fraud in history and ther isn't one Canuckistani media 'personality' with the honest or backbone to report it. Hitler got the same cooperation.

    When I first heard this, I didn't think it was such a bid deal because I assumed the other leaders present must have been from China, India, the EU and Brazil but Australia????? Really???? Why???? Estimates indicate the Australia emits only 1.43% of the world's carbon dioxide. Was Canada excluded because our government keeps saying that whatever action we take will depend on the Americans or are the reports true indicating our government is not welcome internationally anymore over their stalling tactics? Either way, this is just one more example of our leaders aspiring to nothing but the status quo because the status quo is easier. This way they can free up more time to enjoy themselves. That apparently is what is more important. Work is so over-rated right? Our leaders are only motivated by fear of losing their parliamentary seats, cushy pensions,benefits and nothing else. Thanks to our leaders, we are becoming more and more irrelevant to the world and to ourselves. What happened to our pride? What happened to standing for something? What happened to aspiring to something? Let's just join the US and get it over with. At least our tax rate would be better.

    How come we hear so little from the scientists who believe the present day warming trend is part of earth's natural cycle–or is it just that the "media" are not interested in letting us know their findings,

    "Do you believe"?
