UN opens climate conference in Bonn. CFACT press conference: Wednesday 14:00 CET room Haydn

The UN climate conference in Bonn opens today and CFACT has partnered with EIKE to send a delegation led by Dr. Holger Thuss.

The global warming scare and the inept and corrupt nature of proposed solutions have fallen far out of favor with the public and policy makers are taking notice and defecting. CFACT has scheduled a UNFCCC hosted press conference for Wednesday, 14:00 CET in the Hotel Maritim's room Haydn. The press conference may be webcast live [...]

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 [...]

CFACT Co-Sponsors 2008 International Conference on Climate Change in New York

“This is a truly historic event, the first international conference devoted to answering questions overlooked by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.” said Joseph Bast, President of the Heartland, a Chicago-based think tank, at the opening of the event.
