They knew that nothing else would come off it, so just come and have fun u guys &#8211; and since your tax payers paid for all of you to fly down for a sojourn have a few drinks on us too.<br \/>\nWhat is Copenhagen about ? Posturing ? Politicking ? Individual political profiling ? The whole meaning of the climate conference is lost in meaningless and endless documents and words. The environmental cost of leaders of the world is stunning if nothing comes off it &#8211; and it seems nothing will. Meaningless stupidity.<br \/>\nI feel sorry and ashamed that I joined thousands  of people around the world to encourage our Prime Minister to go. I did not realize it would have been so easy to subvert the process through such incredible complexity.  It is so obvious that not one of the heads of state actually mean what they say.<br \/>\nThe planet suffers from over consumption, period.  5 % of the populations consumes 80% of the worlds resources.  So we HAVE to learn to live with less. We have to think about everything we do, right from simple things like how much water we expend in a shower, to the environmental cost of packaged food, even to number of clothes we buy, knowing that cotton growing is a hugely water consumptive activity,<br \/>\nWe need to reevaluate the way we live.<br \/>\nAnd yet there is such a contradiction in what we call economic recovery- the so called Stimulus Plans all over the world !  They all work on getting the consumer to go back to consumption levels before the economic meltdown world &#8211; wide.  The government of the United States is celebrating a a pre &#8211; Christmas shopping frenzy in the US as a sign of economic health &#8211;<br \/>\nBut what about the health of our planet ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In protest the prostitutes of Copenhagen offered free sex to the delegates of the Conference on Climate Change.
