Quote:
"We haven't got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand," she says. "We're having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden." ...
The airport says it is expecting up to 140 extra private jets during the peak period alone, so far over its capacity that the planes will have to fly off to regional airports – or to Sweden – to park, returning to Copenhagen to pick up their VIP passengers.
As well 15,000 delegates and officials, 5,000 journalists and 98 world leaders, the Danish capital will be blessed by the presence of Leonardo DiCaprio, Daryl Hannah, Helena Christensen, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Prince Charles. A Republican US senator. ... The top hotels – all fully booked at £650 a night – are readying their Climate Convention menus of (no doubt sustainable) scallops, foie gras and sculpted caviar wedges.
...Denmark has taken delivery of its first-ever water-cannon – one of the newspapers is running a competition to suggest names for it – plus sweeping new police powers. The authorities have been proudly showing us their new temporary prison, 360 cages in a disused brewery, housing 4,000 detainees.
And this being Scandinavia, even the prostitutes are doing their bit for the planet. Outraged by a council postcard urging delegates to "be sustainable, don't buy sex," the local sex workers' union – they have unions here – has announced that all its 1,400 members will give free intercourse to anyone with a climate conference delegate's pass.

The Useless (albeit powerful) and the Clueless (albeit famous) descend for a weekend of gluttonous consumption and free sex while the police boast of their prison facilities and water cannons, all part of a greater centralization of power under the pretense of non-sense emanating from bad pseudo-science.
This is so decadant it hurts. The world would be a better place if a bomb exploded in downtown Copenhagen. It's like Soddom and Gomorrah decadent....caligula-esque 'make my horse a senator' decadent...
Here's my plan to save the world: If anyone says to you that they're trying to save the world, kill that person immediately. That person is either evil or hopelessly foolish (or both).
