Thought I'd throw this one in for a late night funny. Received an email wanting me to support the U.N. 's climate change goals.
Dear friends across Canada,
The world is about to sign up to a 100% clean energy future! But the goal to completely cut carbon is at risk at the Lima climate talks. Let's flood negotiators with messages now to make sure they know the world is watching, and to stand strong for climate action!
SEND A MESSAGE
Something huge is happening this week -- our governments are about to set a goal to cut carbon pollution completely, putting us on a path to 100% clean energy! This target is now in the draft Global Climate Agreement, but it is at risk.
Right now, Ministers from all over the world are on their way to Lima, Peru to hammer out the agreement. But oil, coal and fracking companies, and countries that want to keep polluting are lobbying hard to pull this crucial target from the text. That’s where we come in.
People power forced through this crucial goal, now we have to protect it! If we don’t, scientists are clear -- catastrophic and runaway climate change is inevitable. Our best chance of blocking back-room deals with polluters is bombarding our Ministers with thousands of messages.
If enough of us act, they’ll know they're being watched and expected to stand strong for the goal of 0 carbon, and 100% clean energy. Send your message now!

The Avaaz team is on the ground and will ensure each country’s delegate and media know how many messages have been sent per country, and our messages could even be projected onto screens right in the conference hall and hand delivered to Ministers.
Long time climate activists are saying there is more hope for action now than ever! After hundreds of thousands of us took to the streets in September demanding climate action, the EU, US and China finally started to move in the right direction. Getting their commitment to reduce carbon pollution to zero would be a massive step forward. Let's lock in this progress before the lobbyists can unravel it. Send a message now:

For years we've been campaigning for climate action. And now our governments are finally moving in the right direction, but the stakes could not be higher, and what happens next will depend on us. Let’s do everything we can to win the deal we need to save the world!
With hope,
Alice, Iain, David, Emily, Laura, Oscar, Fatima, Ricken and the whole Avaaz team
To which I replied:
Dear Friends,
I have never heard such complete horseshit in my entire life, our governments are selling out to the banksters who have brought up carbon currency, credits and caps. 100% clean energy is another scam meant to ruin the economy in order to bring in a new Marxist dark age, it doesn't work. The only reason they shut down coal industries in N.A. was to keep the price of oil artificially high, they know from S. Africa's apartheid era that coal can be economically converted into gasoline. The only climate change risk is another ice age, we are being forced to prepare for the wrong disaster. I don't want zero carbon, I want 100% carbon, I love carbon, plants love carbon, people who hate life hate carbon.
There is no global warming, the pause is now 18+ years and counting, satellite data confirms the increase in troposphere co2 has been offset by a reduction in humidity causing 16 times greater cooling effect. This has been corroborated by satellite and weather balloon studies. Their is no hot spot over the equator required by the models.
I could go on all day long telling you what complete horseshit global warming is. But a U.N. study shows it's dead last on a list of 16 concerns world wide. But useful idiots like yourselves and the U.N. believe that if they keep throwing the shit against the wall long enough, some of it will stick.
Kindest Regards,
CHoff
