Copenhagen: Limo Capital Of The World
By Wyatt Earp | December 7, 2009
Well, at least it will be during the United Nations Climate Change Conference. While you are being bombarded with scorn and the threat of new, useless taxes from insane liberals within and without the United States, the glitterati will be addressing the desperate climate change problem.
Uh-huh. Physicians, heal thyselves.
It will be remembered as the day the greens bombed Copenhagen with limousines.
On a normal day, Majken Friss Jorgensen, managing director of Copenhagen’s biggest limousine company, says her firm has twelve vehicles on the road. During the “summit to save the world”, which opens here tomorrow, she will have 200. “We thought they were not going to have many cars, due to it being a climate convention,” she says. “But it seems that somebody last week looked at the weather report.”
Ms Jorgensen reckons that between her and her rivals the total number of limos in Copenhagen next week has already broken the 1,200 barrier. The French alone rang up on Thursday and ordered another 42. “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.”
In fairness, one cannot possibly achieve maximum smugitude while driving a Prius. No, you need a grand entrance amidst a fleet of gas-chugging limousines!
And the total number of electric cars or hybrids among that number? “Five,” says Ms Jorgensen. “The government has some alternative fuel cars but the rest will be petrol or diesel. We don’t have any hybrids in Denmark, unfortunately, due to the extreme taxes on those cars. It makes no sense at all, but it’s very Danish.” (H/T – What’s Up With That?)
But President Obama and Algore will have no problem forcing us to change our eeevil lifestyles, right? Hypocrisy, thy name is global warming alarmists.

Too bad Gore and Obama can’t make the logical jump when they hear someone say “don’ have any hybrids…due to the extreme taxes on those cars. But it’s very Danish.” Geez, it’s not too Danish or they would have them. What a putz!!! I think she must be related to Biden as they appear to use the same logic.

The EPA just deemed CO2 a hazard to human health.
Madness is more virulent than H1N1.

MeToo – I like danish. Especially with the cream cheese filling. The country? Not so much.
Joated – Sweet! These geniuses realize that humans EXHALE CO2, right?

Wait until Obama gets there. His carbon footprint will be bigger than everyone else’s combined.

Reminds me of a story a few years back about a United Nations conference on battling world hunger.
Someone released the menu for the event and it was a doozy. The most expensive and rare food from all over the world.

Don’t forget that the Copenhagen airport will be beyond capacity with at least 140 private planes flying in for the conference. Of course, those planes will have to fly off- empty- to neighboring countries to wait out the conference before returning to Denmark- empty- to pick up their respective passengers.
What a friggin’ crock…..

Captain – No, I think that’s just his ego.
Kaveman – And they probably threw the leftovers away.
Fenway_Nation – But, but, “the science is settled.” /snark.
