Can COP17 technocrats rescue the warming scam?

The mood at this year's UN climate conference is subdued. Perhaps fearful. In CFACT's talks with the representatives of government, business, even the more radical NGOs, we've yet to find anyone confident that a successor treaty to the Kyoto Protocol will emerge in Durban. The usual sideshow has been assembled. You can find rows of displays making their standard pleas for your tax dollars. Wind farms, solar, mass redistribution in the name of “climate justice,” and all the usual scare tactics have assembled. Oxfam actually sat at a conference table they had carried into the waves of the Indian Ocean. But [...]

It. Isn’t. Happening.

By Lord Christopher Monckton of Brenchley Mainstream science, politics, bureaucracy, academe, banking, business, media – all were of one mind. The West, so the playbook ran, must be shut down at once to Save The Planet from “global warming”, er, “climate change”, um, “climate disruption”, no, “extreme-weather events”, ah, that is, “energy-security challenges”. Shale gas? That would solve everything. Hundreds of years’ global supply. No more peak oil. Low carbon footprint. Ban it quick. I find myself with CFACT in Durban among the creatures of “consensus” for the annual UN climate gabfest. Yet the party line was wrong. At a recent [...]

Durban due diligence

By Kelvin Kemm From my vantage point here in South Africa, I could hardly miss the major build-up to the COP-17 United Nations world environment and climate conference, which is being held November 28 to December 9 in Durban, where I went to school and university. For weeks international news broadcasts spoke of “the road to Durban,” and people of all ranks made daily comments concerning issues to be addressed at COP-17. Conference organisers announced that bottled water would be limited, or even prohibited, because making, shipping and disposing of plastic bottles was not environmentally sound – and in any event [...]

Climategate 2.0 exposes climate science hypocrisy on eve of UN’s Durban Conference

C F A C T The Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 23, 2011 Climategate 2.0 exposes climate science hypocrisy on eve of UN's Durban Conference A second batch of leaked emails from scientists working on board and alongside the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have come to light. They contain shocking revelations which show an insular cadre of climate scientists coordinating efforts to place advocacy ahead of science, stifle dissent, and conceal information which detracts from a preconceived, ideologically driven, global warming narrative. This shockingly candid look at the machinations of the high priests of global [...]

Speaking sense to power at the UN climate conference in Durban is reminiscent of Galileo

By Kelvin Kemm PRETORIA – From my vantage point here in South Africa, I am aware of the momentum of the major build-up to the next big United Nations world environment conference, COP 17, which will be held in December, in Durban, the city where I went to school and university. I am honored to be part of CFACT's delegation to the Durban conference. We've certainly got our work cut out for us. We hear of ‘the road to Durban’ on international news broadcasts and, daily, people of all ranks are making comments on the issues to be addressed at COP [...]

CFACT to challenge UN in South Africa

COP 17, the UN Conference on Climate Change in Durban, South Africa, is only weeks away. Al Gore and his friends on the global warming fringe are pushing a radical agenda that would choke off our energy supply and tax, spend and regulate our economic recovery out of existence before it even gets started. This is important. We cannot allow climate propaganda and radical policies at the UN to go unchallenged. CFACT has assembled an outstanding delegation of climate and policy experts to keep you informed about this important conference as it happens and to ensure your voice is heard in [...]

Flashback: CFACT drops the banner on Greenpeace ships

Watch the first video HERE Watch the second video HERE (Copenhagen, Denmark, December 16, 2009) Global warming skeptics from CFACT yesterday pulled off an international climate caper using GPS triangulation from Greenpeace's own on-board camera photos to locate and sail up long-side of the infamous Greenpeace vessel, Rainbow Warrior. Then in Greenpeace-like fashion, the CFACT activists unfurled a banner reading "Propaganda Warrior" which underscored how the radical green group’s policies and agenda are based on myths, lies, and exaggerations. Earlier in the day the activists daringly boarded Greenpeace's Arctic Sunrise with neither stealth nor force, but by baffling the crew with doughnuts, and [...]

Svensmark & CERN: cosmic rays influence climate

A cloudy day for global warming zealots Climate science is anything but settled. For years, physicist Henrik Svensmark of the Danish National Space Institute (who has presented at conferences organized by CFACT and EIKE) has been asking inconvenient questions about the relationship between the sun, clouds and climate. He demonstrated in the lab that cosmic rays from the sun affect cloud formation. Cosmic rays are a factor not meaningfully considered in the computer climate models which global warming proponents have declared to be so robust that they are beyond discussion. To the vexation of true climate believers, Svensmark's work [...]

CFACT victory: Obama scraps EPA ozone regulations

VICTORY! Obama orders EPA to halt its job-killing smog rule Thank you, petition signers! CFACT supporters know that EPA has been on an ideological tear, proposing job-killing rule after rule without regard to economic or environmental realities. EPA has gone lawless, all too often exceeding the authority granted to it by Congress. CFACT has led the way and joined with elected officials and citizens from coast to coast to cry out, "STOP! Enough! This is not what we hired you to do!" We asked you to sign and circulate CFACT's petition to reform EPA and so many did. We provided [...]

Scottish wind subsidies slashed?

1,000 wind turbines gang agley 1,000 land-based wind turbines stand to be scrapped if government follows through and slashes millions of pounds in subsidies. A report commissioned by ScottishPower concludes that reducing subsidies 25 percent will render the turbines a loss maker for investors instead of just rate and taxpayers. CFACT continues to conclude that alternative energy sources such as wind and solar should only be deployed when they can compete effectively with other sources of energy. Locking in inefficient power generation and the subsidies and guarantees that goes with it will have a terrible long term impact on industry as [...]

British aristocrats cash in on wind

Regressive redistribution as working people pay landed rich to despoil the British countryside The Telegraph reports that British nobles, including Dukes and a cousin of the Queen are cashing in on tax and ratepayer subsidies to erect wind farms on their country estates. Each turbine can net a noble £20,000 a year or more. Prime Minister David Cameron's father-in-law is a baronet who is pulling in "as much as £350,000 a year from eight turbines on his estate at Bagmoor in Lincolnshire." This may give Cameron's un-torylike policy surrender to radical green interests some perspective. For generations the UK could count [...]

Morano unplugs Chevy Volt myths on Fox News

For the third time in just two weeks, CFACT's Marc Morano--editor of ClimateDepot.com--appeared on Fox News. This time, on August 16, he discussed the problems facing electric vehicles with Neil Cavuto. In addition to dropping consumer interest, Morano said that "in the UK they are having trouble financing electric cars because of their rapid depreciation. . . . People are putting down $40,000+ on an electric car that's gonna be obsolete very quickly." More importantly, electric cars are not as safe as regular vehicles because manufacturers are forced to make them as light as possible. "For every 100 lb. weight reduction," [...]
