COP this - Josh 353
H/t Stewgreen for the BBC article "COP21: Public support for tough climate deal 'declines'"
Reading the article it looks like the decline in support is pretty much worldwide - see their graphic below.
Next up: the Calendar!

Meanwhile the clueless self-deluding numpties at ClimateHome are saying that
"Envoys aim to surf wave of optimism at Paris climate talks"

I wonder if they will post my comment mentioning this survey. I didn't call them clueless self-deluding numpties.
As the public have come to realise that the predictions of doom just around the corner were false, they are starting to take a more realistic 'wait and see' attitude. Previous COP meetings obviously wanted to change the world before Gaia had a chance to spoil things for them, but every year that goes by without climate catastrophe but with huge financial burdens on us all, means the chances of a binding agreement fade.
Paul Matthews: they haven't yet...
Time for them to revisit the promised $100billion a year, and double it? Why should COP delegates care, as they know it is never going to happen.
Right now the BBC global warming page (formerly known as "Science and Environment") is almost wall to wall global warming features. You have to search for something else that might not mention it.
How about the Plain Stupid crowd (there, I've corrected their spelling for them) disrupting all flights to Paris just before COP21..?
Oh - forgot - a lot of the delegates will be going by private jet so that might be difficult...
So - we'll continue to pray for some nice white 'global cooling'....

Yes a flyby by the Great Snow Eagle of the North would be a nice touch
Are they actually hiding figures worse that this ? is one thought.
Cos normally they'd try to spin whatever results to support the Church of Global Warming
#2 or could it be another trick ..like are they going to say "before COP support was low, but now after P Obama's speech EVERYONE agrees" ?
I notice Youtube are doing a mass mass propaganda campaign like making a climate petition their highlighlight video Except the counter keeps sticking at 3,180,000 signitures for last 3 days
