CFACT video links climate conferences in Berlin & Cancun. Dr. Spencer joins from Alabama

CFACT recently created a live video conference which linked our climate conference in Berlin to the UN conference in Cancun and Professor Roy Spencer in Huntsville, Alabama.  Lord Christopher Monckton and CFACT Executive Director Craig Rucker reported from Cancun.  Participants in the Berlin conference, which CFACT co-sponsored with EIKE and other groups, have since described the video link as a "highpoint." Here's an extensive report (auf Deutsch).   Berlin, Berlin, wir waren in Berlin. CFACT thanks all of our friends in Europe for their hard work in making this conference a great success.  The continued opening of the European mind is one [...]

Extreme weather is natural

The Daily Mail reports that the jet stream is causing Europe's paralyzing cold snap. This year a high-pressure weather system over the Atlantic is blocking the jet stream’s normal path and forcing it to the north and south of Europe. The areas of high pressure act like stones in a stream - blocking the normal flow of milder air from the west and instead forcing colder air from the north down across the UK. Once again if it's hot it's warming and if it's cold it's nature. Attention: climate campaigners, carbon profiteers & leftists -- repeat after us: "Extreme weather is [...]

The climate bugaboo is the strangest intellectual aberration of our age

LORD CHRISTOPHER MONCKTON But don’t you realise," said the bearded, staring enviro-zomb with the regrettable T-shirt, “that global cooling is what we must expect because of global warming?” "Don’t you realise," I replied, "how silly that sounds? The lowest temperatures ever recorded here in Cancun six days in a row; four extreme winters on the trot in the Northern hemisphere; more people dying in one three-day cold snap in little England in 2002 than Oxfam pretends died of ‘global warming’ worldwide throughout 2010; where’s your perspective, man?" Perspective, the Olympian capacity to see events as they affect not just [...]

Cancun, etc.

HANS LABOHM (Amsterdam) The Cancun climate conference was much like Copenhagen.  The Cancun mountain gave birth to less than a mouse. But global warmers will persevere. They will continue their quest for the Holy Grail of legally binding CO2 reductions … ad infinitum. It is like the proverbial irresistible force colliding with an immovable object. Next stop will be South Africa. Links after the jump.  (More on Cancun at CFACT.tv) […]

Memo to America: Don’t do carbon trading!

The United States must learn from Europe’s mistakes – not repeat them ROGER HELMER, MEP Senator Harry Reid has repeatedly denounced opposition to carbon trading as “dangerous.” Senator Reid is wrong. It is the House and Senate climate and renewable energy bills that are dangerous. Fortunately, the recent elections and the ongoing dissension at the Cancun climate summit could bode ill for carbon trading, any successor to Kyoto – and renewable energy standards. Carbon trading is wrong on so many levels. First, there is a growing realization that the small changes we are seeing in Earth’s climate are entirely consistent with [...]

Death to the Chicago Climate Exchange ($7.40 to a nickel per CO2 ton, the market has spoken)

[Note to staff: where can we at CFACT.EU short carbon?] By William Griesinger Brought to us by 21st Century Wire “One of the keystones of the Climate Change alarmist movement was its audacious attempt to create a functioning market by monetizing the atmospheric gas known as CO2…. Certainly, gaming the system has always been at the top on the agenda of the new green eco-trader.” – Patrick Henningsen, “The Great Collapse of the Chicago Climate Exchange,” 21st Century Wire, August 28, 2010. We were tipped off by the August 28th headline, “The Great Collapse of the Chicago Climate Exchange,” by Patrick Henningsen, [...]

Confession of a climate prostitute

Sent to us by our friend Drieu Godefrid* [translation from the original French via Google]. ____________ Today the Academy of Sciences released its report on the climate in which it validates the whole three thousand pages of the latest IPCC report and its conclusions, it is time for the masks to fall. I am ashamed. This is the confession of a climate prostitute. Yes, I confess, I wrote a book discussing the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) under false pretenses; Yes, I confess, my motives were not disinterested; Yes, I confess, I’m sold to lobbyists, for reasons both financial and [...]

What the green movement got wrong

British documentary exposes green "misanthropy, exaggeration and damage" Britain's Channel 4's What the Green Movement Got Wrong features former green campaigners explaining how radical ideology warped environmentalism, preventing it from conserving nature and causing unintended harm.  Channel 4's decision to air this documentary is the latest evidence that the media is finally moving away from mindlessly repeating radical green claims and at last permitting critical evaluation. Former hippy Greens, directors of Greenpeace, the chairmen of the Copenhagen Climate Council and the like, queued up to admit error. Their reasons for doing so were interesting. None of them repudiated all their previous [...]

Carbon sequestration scrapped in Netherlands and other developments

HANS LABOHM (Amsterdam) A serious dialogue has started between the crème de la crème of the Dutch climate sceptics and climate scientists of the Royal Netherlands Met Office (KNMI). It is focusing on the mechanisms underlying the greenhouse effect (radiation, evapo/convection) and the ensuing climate sensitivity. Profound differences of view still remain. The decision of the previous government to sequester carbon in the densely populated area of Barendrecht (near Rotterdam) has been canceled by the present government. The parliamentary energy spokesman of the VVD (the classical liberal People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy, the major partner in the present coalition government) [...]

President Klaus: Warming action not justified

"I am not impressed by heavily biased British scientific institutions." Czech President Vaclav Klaus finds no evidence that government spending on global warming would be worth the cost. "I don't see empirical evidence of human-caused global warming. I see so many mistakes in the methodology of science and modelling." President Klaus, who recently served as President of the European Union, has long been a vocal critic of global warming science and policy.  Last year he addressed the International Conference on Climate Change which was co-sponsored by CFACT.

Bright Idea: German entrepeneur markets light bulbs as heat bulbs

4,000 snap up incandescent light bulbs A German entrepeneur got around the EU ban on incandescent light bulbs over 60 watts by importing them as heaters from China.  His shipment of 4,000 bulbs sold immediately.  That makes at least 4,001 Germans who see the folly of restricting individual consumers from choosing their own preferred light.  The bureaucrats may prefer their light ghostly, expensive and laced with mercury, but that doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't be allowed to choose a warm pleasant light, emitted by Edison's benign tungsten filament in a vacuum, at a price affordable to all.  Großartig!

Victory for Dutch Climate Realists

HANS LABOHM (Amsterdam) The draft Memorandum of Understanding of the new Netherlands government coalition (including the classical liberal party, VVD, plus the Christian Democrats, CDA, with parliamentary support by Wilders’ Party for Freedom, PVV, – the so-called ‘Danish Model’) contains only two – obligatory – references to climate change. Climate sceptics opined that backtracking from AGW did not go far enough. Nevertheless, it could be argued that this is, so far, the most important political victory for climate scepticism in the world. […]

Another Domino Falls: UK’s Leading Scientific Body Retreats on Climate Change Agenda

By Patrick Henningsen 21st Century Wire Sept 30, 2010 The UK’s leading scientific body has decided to rewrite its own definitive guide on climate change, now admitting that it is “not known” how much warmer the planet will become. The Royal Society has released a new guide which outlines its retreat from its former vanguard stance on the threat of climate change and man-made global warming. The decision to update their scientific guide came after 43 of its members complained that the previous versions failed to take into account the opinion of climate change sceptics. The new guide, entitled ‘Climate change: [...]
