There was Sheryl Crow, who had called upon the public to refrain from using more than one square of toilet paper per visit (“except on those pesky occasions when two or three are required”) and who was leading a Stop Global Warming concert tour across America. It was revealed that while Crow travelled in a biodiesel tour bus, her 30-person entourage followed in a fleet of 13 gas-guzzling vehicles.
At least the weather in Copenhagen is likely to be cooperating. The Danish Meteorological Institute predicts that temperatures in December, when the city will host the United Nations Climate Change Conference, will be one degree above the long-term average.
Otherwise, however, not much is happening with global warming at the moment. The Earth's average temperatures have stopped climbing since the beginning of the millennium, and it even looks as though global warming could come to a standstill this year.

GORE: CIGARETTE SMOKING 'SIGNIFICANT' CONTRIBUTOR TO GLOBAL WARMING
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore warned hundreds of U.N. diplomats and staff on Thursday evening about the perils of climate change, claiming: Cigarette smoking is a "significant contributor to global warming!"
Gore, who was introduced by Secretary-General Kofi Annan, said the
world faces a "full-scale climate emergency that threatens the future
of civilization on earth."
Gore showed computer-generated projections of ocean water rushing in to
submerge the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, parts of China,
India and other nations, should ice shelves in Antarctica or Greenland
melt and slip into the sea.
"The planet itself will do nicely, thank you very much what is at risk
is human civilization," Gore said.
After a series of Q& A with the audience, which had little to do
with global warming and more about his political future, Annan bid
"adios" to Gore.
Then, Gore had his staff opened a stack of cardboard boxes to begin
selling his new book, "An Inconvenient Truth, The Planetary Emergency
of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It," $19.95, to the U.N.
diplomats.
