Mother Earth sells carbon indulgences in Chicago

ROGER HELMER, MEP Rather to my surprise, I bumped into Mother Earth at the Heartland Climate Conference in Chicago (May 17th). There she was, large as life, in her green gown with a wreath of ivy in her hair (when I first saw the green gown I feared she might be a Warmist saboteur who had slipped past Security, but my worries were unfounded). And she was selling (or strictly speaking, giving out) Carbon Indulgences (that’s the white rectangle in the photograph). Fascinated, I read the text: “This indulgence serves as a remittance of all carbon sins. You are forgiven for [...]

Climate Questions for Kerry & Lieberman

PAUL DRIESSEN The new Kerry-Lieberman climate bill mandates a 17% reduction in US carbon dioxide emissions by 2020. It first targets power plants and refineries that provide reliable, affordable electricity and fuel for American homes, schools, hospitals, offices and factories – and then, in six years, further hobbles the manufacturing sector itself. The House-passed climate bill goes even further. It requires an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050. Once population growth and transportation, communication and electrification technologies are taken into account, this translates into emission levels last seen around 1870! House Speaker Pelosi says “every aspect of our lives must [...]

Lord Monckton Testifies Before Congress

May 6, 2010 The Select Committee, in its letter inviting testimony for the present hearing, cites various scientific bodies as having concluded that 1. The global climate has warmed; 2. Human activities account for most of the warming since the mid-20th century; 3. Climate change is already causing a broad range of impacts in the United States; 4. The impacts of climate change are expected to grow in the coming decades. The first statement requires heavy qualification and, since the second is wrong, the third and fourth are without foundation and must fall. The Select Committee has requested answers to the [...]

700 Papers Supporting Climate Realism

The list continues to grow. The consensus continues to collapse. The good folks at Popular Technology are now up to 700 scholarly papers challenging the theory of man-made global warming. Here they are. Here is CFACT’s coverage of the original 450. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A 2000-year global temperature reconstruction based on non-treering proxies (PDF) (Energy & Environment, Volume 18, Numbers 7-8, pp. 1049-1058, December 2007) – Craig Loehle […]

Connie Hedegaard Riposte

E.U. Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard responds to CFACT CFACT’s response: Let’s not go back to the dark ages. CFACT has been participating in an energy debate sponsored by the National Journal. Commissioner Hedegaard wrote, “Craig Rucker claims that had it not been for Denmark’s oil in the North Sea we could not afford “such feel good luxuries” as renewables like wind. Wrong. Back in 1973 Denmark experienced two oil crises and the last one, when Saudi Arabia cut off oil deliveries, was so bad that it was necessary to prohibit driving private cars on Sundays. I remember this from my childhood. [...]

Italian Senate Calls for Realism on Climate

Reassessment and renegotiation Carlo Stagnaro of Istituto Bruno Leoni reports: The Italian Senate stands for climate realism. A motion passed on last Wednesday commits the Italian government to promote a sound discussion on climate policies with the European Union and the United Nations, with particular regard to the major changes that have occurred after the economic recession, the Climategate scandal, and the failure to reach a global deal in Copenhagen. In fact, the Senate asks both that the current commitments under the EU climate and energy package are re-negotiated, and that an independent investigation is started on the IPCC process. [...]

CFACT Responds to Connie Hedegaard

Anyone who tells you that restricting prosperity and redistributing wealth will alter the climate is selling something. CRAIG RUCKER EU Commissioner for Climate Action Connie Hedegaard today posed the question, "can the U.S. afford not to have ambitious legislation that paves the way for a more energy-efficient future?" CFACT Executive Director Craig Rucker responded that if the US Congress fails, America wins. Commissioner Hedegaard's Denmark may have surrounded itself with wind turbines, but could not afford such feel good luxuries if it were not for the vast income and energy it derives from Danish North Sea oil and gas.

Telegraph – “Climate Change: Always Room for Doubt”

Another major daily breaks from climate change orthodoxy The Daily Telegraph editorializes today that CRU scientists got off too "lightly" in the review of their role in the Climategate scandal. Like Der Spiegel before it, the Telegraph is rediscovering that every debate has two sides. The voices of the climate realists are penetrating the climate fog at last. The Telegraph reminds its readers that on climate, "there is another view, for which evidence can also be adduced, even if it seems to conflict with the received wisdom. The findings of the Oxburgh inquiry are not an excuse for again closing down [...]

Confidential U.S. Climate Strategy Leaked in Bonn

Reveals radical global warming treaty push, efforts to “bypass” and spin media Guardian environment editor John Vidal obtained a confidential U.S. climate strategy document from a “hotel computer” at the Bonn climate talks. Vidal did not reveal to CFACT’s “Mission Bonn” team what was afoot, but came to the CFACT display obviously quite excited and pumped our American members for information on the format used in the U.S. to display dates. It appears he was seeking background for his evaluation of this strategy document. CFACT readers will remember Mr. Vidal as the fellow who interrupted our Climate Sense conference [...]

Der Spiegel: A superstorm for global warming research

"An entire branch of science is in crisis." Der Spiegel has posted an in-depth article on the UN IPCC's fall from grace as people around the world examine the exaggerations, mistakes and manipulations of climate science. Can the global warming propaganda machine go back to saying whatever it wants and suppressing all dissent? If the folks at Der Spiegel are willing to open their minds, who is next? We suppose the BBC is too much to hope for......

Global warming fears in Germany plummet 20%

A poll commissioned by Der Spiegel shows fear of global warming dropped rapidly from 62% to 42% in Germany. Scandals at the IPCC, rejection of heavy-handed warming propagandizing and a world climate that refused to follow the models is leading to a major disconnect between government officials and their electorates. Something has to give. We expect the media, left-wing campaign organizations and U.N. bureaucrats will close ranks and try and go back to biased scientific proclamations, stifling debate and demonizing their opponents. Can they succeed this late in the game? We''ll learn much more about their game plan at the [...]
