No Hope in 'hagen?

Hello dear listeners!

I've not missed blogging much so it's important for you to encourage me by writing me e-mails and such to tell me I'm: a) awesome b) out of my mind c) pissing into the wind or d) all of the above

You can mail me at oldpunk@cjlo.com by the by.

The integrity of my show kind of demands that I post the links and sources that I rely on so even if you don't encourage me I'll be here anyhow.

Let's start with the deal, such as it was, that Obama struck in Copenhage. It's not much of a deal as most of you have probably already heard but there is more to it than meets the msm's eyes. For the uninitiated the msm = the mainstream media.

Is it possibly a game changer? http://climateprogress.org/2009/12/19/obama-hits-the-reset-button-on-the-foundations-of-international-climate-agreements/

David Corn over at Mother Jones doesn't think so: http://motherjones.com/environment/2009/12/obamas-copenhagen-deal

Surprisingly the propaganda has not been that effective: http://climateprogress.org/2009/12/18/public-opinion-stunner-washpost-abc-poll-finds-strong-support-for-global-warming-reductions-despite-relentless-big-oil-and-anti-science-attacks/

Some of the actual science: http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/2009/20091216_TemperatureOfScience.pdf

Some opinions on the matter - none of them flattering: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/18/meaningful-agreement-whit_n_397561.html

That'll be Moday's show give or take a few stories which I'll add later. Have a great holiday week all!
