This article indicates that no member of the US Congress will attend the Waste of Time called the Durban Climate Change Conference! Finally a sensible decision from Congress!
At least we know Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) — one of the fiercest climate deniers in Congress — won’t be making a side show out of the Durban climate talks. He won’t be attending this year.
But neither will anyone else in Congress.
Greenwirereports today that only one Congressional staffer and zero members — yes zero — have plans to attend the COP 17 climate conference in South Africa next week.
But maybe we should have been there! Bring noted scientists, great speakers like Tom DeWeese and a clear message in spite of all sorts of heckling from the other side and crash the conference! At the risk of being hauled before a military tribunal for aggravated climate change denial, I’d be willing to consider going to the next one (if someone paid my expenses) and live blogging the Waste of Time! (Maybe we’ll have a new sheriff in DC: President Paul!) At least there would be something to report worth reporting!
