Watts Up With That

It seems the uncertainty about Copenhagen is growing. When Al baby pulls the plug, you know it's hosed.

From Berlingske: Al Gore cancels lecture during COP15

Looks like they will get a refund though. Might be worth more as a collectors item in ten years though.

I wonder how many people have shelled out $1200 to shake Al's hand? Maybe not enough and he couldn't cover the expenses for his private jet?

From the Washington Post:

"Have you ever shaken hands with an American vice president? If not, now is your chance. Meet Al Gore in Copenhagen during the UN Climate Change Conference," notes the Danish tourism commission, which is helping Mr. Gore promote "Our Choice," his newest book about global warming in all its alarming modalities.

"Tickets are available in different price ranges for the event. If you want it all, you can purchase a VIP ticket, where you get a chance to shake hands with Al Gore, get a copy of Our Choice and have your picture taken with him. The VIP event costs DKK 5,999 and includes drinks and a light snack."

Wait, what? How much is that in American dollars? The currency conversion says it all, too: 5,999 Danish kroners is equivalent to $1,209.

"If you do not want to spend that much money, but still want to hear Al Gore speak about his latest book about climate challenges, you can purchase general tickets, ranging in price from DKK 199-1,499 depending on where in the room you want to sit," the practical Danes advise. "There will be large screens, so that everyone will get a good view."

Yah, such a deal.

what about all those true believers who paid $1200 to see him preach his cold gospel? Perhaps he can turn water into whine? or turn their $ into carbon credits...such poor people not since Jim Jones...

Who does AA share his peace prize with? BHO

Please correct the reference. The link is to the Washington Times, not the Post.

Criminals - the lot of them. They want control over you and your money. They will not stop their agenda and will try to distract you from the the facts by marching on to the tunes of: "Stolen emails", "Hacked server", and "Out of context".
Folks... either 2 plus 2 equals 4 or it doesn't.
To state otherwise - is pure stupidity.

To commercialise in full terms of high-performance rather than monetary value, and in order to specialize consequently, you want to follow the general format of the 4 Ps marketing plan. That is, Price, Product, Place and Promotion manifestly you know the main attributes of the product, and the price, but for place you should remember approximately the type of mass who are willing to pay over 4x price of competing production whereas the cheap option may be sold where accent is on cost, your ware will be suited to places/distributors where the clients will be willing to pay for quality. Thank you for this article! I've just acquired a surely surprising news source about best marketing Attempt it!

Certainly. I believe that if you placed up a sales booth that had samples of the soy milk you are trying to sell in a crowded area like a mall and claimed it as milk to examiners, and then let on that it was soy milk after hearing their thought, you could get many people to introduce themselves to the soy milk you are marketing!
