A Mitt Bit of Christmas, Blizzard Dumps Snow on Copenhagen

Oh, the irony. As Obama deplaned in global-warmed Copenhagen this morning, he was enveloped in freezing temperatures and four inches of blizzard-produced snow.

“Dec. 17 (Bloomberg) — World leaders flying into Copenhagen today to discuss a solution to global warming will first face freezing weather as a blizzard dumped 10 centimeters (4 inches) of snow on the Danish capital overnight.

Temperatures will stay low at least the next three days,” Henning Gisseloe, an official at Denmark’s Meteorological Institute, said today by telephone, forecasting more snow in coming days. “There’s a good chance of a white Christmas.”

Denmark has a maritime climate and milder winters than its Scandinavian neighbors. It hasn’t had a white Christmas for 14 years, under the DMI’s definition, and only had seven last century. Temperatures today fell as low as minus 4 Celsius (25 Fahrenheit).

DMI defines a white Christmas as 90 percent of the country being covered by at least 2 centimeters of snow on the afternoon of Dec. 24.

Even more ironic, just a few hours before the storm roared in, Hillary Clinton, in an effort to put a smiley face on the poorly organized, chaotic Climate Conference, offered the following: 

Climate change threatens not only our environment, but our economy and our security. This is an undeniable and unforgiving fact.

The only undeniable and unforgiving fact is that the only thing heating up is tempers among global warming proponents:

“One thing many of these protestors share is a suspicion for capitalism, corporations, and so-called market mechanisms for cutting carbon emissions.” – Reporter Holly Williams, Sky News,  Copenhagen

Do we want these people telling us how to live?

A Mitt bit of Christmas (Dec 17, 2009):

Tim Pawlenty yesterday became the first potential 2012 GOP candidate to visit the first-in-the-nation primary state (unless you count Haley Barbour’s visit last summer). But Mitt Romney wins the “all-important” Christmas card race. His card, with two color photos of his huge family, hit mailboxes yesterday.

I’d love to have a Romney family Christmas card delivered to me! Speaking of deliver, the singers on our Fifth Day of Christmas video, do just that. Here’s Celtic Woman singing Carol of the Bells:

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, the flying cloud, the frosty light;
Ring in the love of truth and right, ring in the common love of good.

Ring in the valiant man and free, the larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land, ring in the Christ that is to be.
~ Lord Alfred Tennyson
