The power of ClimateGate: Al Gore forced to sacrifice Copenhagen cash cow

By Michelle Malkin • December 3, 2009 05:53 PM

The chill wind of ClimateGate has blown over Al Gore’s $1,200-per handshake lecture at Copenhagen. He has canceled the hot-air hoedown.

ClimateDepot dubbed the crumbling global warming conference next week “Nopenhagen.”

Blow, winds of change, blow:

Former Vice President Al Gore on Thursday abruptly canceled a Dec. 16 personal appearance that was to be staged during the United Nation’s Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, which begins next week.

As described in The Washington TImes’ Inside the Beltway column Tuesday, the multi-media public event to promote Mr. Gore’s new book “Our Choice” included $1,209 VIP tickets that granted the holder a photo opportunity with Mr. Gore and a “light snack.”

Berlingkse Media, a Danish group coordinating ticket sales and publicity for the event, said that “great annoyance” was a factor in the cancellation, along with unforeseen changes in Gore’s program for the climate summit. The decision affected 3,000 ticket holders.

“We have had a clear-cut agreement, and it is unusual with great disappointment that we have to announce that Al Gore cancels. We had a huge expectation for the event. … We do not yet know the detailed reasons for the cancellation,” said Lisbeth Knudsen, CEO of Berlingske Media, in a statement posted by the company.

The ClimateDepot,com, an online news aggregator that track global warming news reports, referred to the situation as “Nopenhagen”, and evidence that popular momentum for the Copenhagen conference “is fading.”

Nazis!!!!

fine Scottish restaurant known as McDonalds.

Hey, watch it. There’s a difference between Micks and Macs. Now, if you say fine Irish restaurant, it would be ok by me. Don’t be associatin’ the Scots with something called, in the local parlance, ‘mickey-ds’

In some parts of the country its MICKdonalds, but in others, particularly in the ‘hood, it’s MACKdonalds.

Now Obama has changed his plans about Copenhagen and will go at the END of the summit. I wonder what the motivation is for that? Mayby he wants to see which way the wind blows before he jumps in. If things go bad, he can cancel altogether.

The only thing that would make me miss lgm is a crosswind since I got a laser rangefinder.

LMAO. At msnbc.com, a story about Oblama going to Copenhagen rates one half star (out of a possible 5 stars). I have never seen an article rated so low. This after 370 votes.
Makes you wonder. EVERYONE knows it is a crock, but yet there goes Obummer, saying the United States will “Pay it’s fair share.” Holy Crap!

I’m guessing he was banned.

Either way, it’s too bad. I wanted to monitor his reaction as the global warming machine continued to deteriorate.

Maybe Gore’s wife was worried about the “free” prostitutes being a distraction?
