COP 19

The IPCC report indicates Typhoon Haiyan was made by nature not man. Yeb Sano should have skipped his hunger strike and tried the pierogies in Warsaw.

Climate Depot’s Marc Morano takes on “the climate change con” at CFACT’s all day climate conference at Warsaw’s Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University, November 21, 2013.

We all know the President lied (or, more favorably, “misspoke”) when he said, “If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period.” We know the Administration totally fabricated the story that a silly YouTube video was the reason four Americans died in BenGhazi. So why should we be surprised as real-world data and the uncovering of official mischief demonstrate that the “global warming” (or “climate change”) hysteria was built on lies and that the real intent was to create a cause celebre for redistributing the world’s wealth?

Alan Caruba boosts CFACT and the Heartland Institute for helping bring about the death of the Kyoto Protocol — with a toast to newly elected Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott and the people and government of Poland. Major media outlets such as Business Week and the New York Times, however, get short shrift as enablers of the warmist lies and misrepresentations.

There are few people on Earth as carefully vetted, as rigorously trained and as highly respected as America’s Apollo astronauts. Colonel Walt Cunningham, lunar module pilot on Apollo VII, explains why America’s space pioneers are shocked and dismayed by today’s politicization of science to serve the global warming agenda. WATCH NOW.

While the UN’s global warming mandarins and profiteers may have liked more, they jet out of Warsaw still in control of the game.

As has become the usual practice at the UN climate summits, COP 19 in Warsaw has gone past its Friday closing time and is now in overtime. Obama announces the U.S. will announce emissions targets in time for a Paris treaty in 2015.

Denied instant gratification of their global warming dreams of redistribution, up to 800 members of extreme enviro-left nongovernmental organizations walked out of COP 19, the UN climate summit in Warsaw, Poland. The Left may have left the stadium, but are still very much in the game.

If the climate crowd truly cared about women’s issues, they would focus on the link between poverty and affordable energy instead of wasting time, money, and resources on policies based on junk science.

The UN’s duplicitous attempt to use fear of climate change as a springboard to amassing unprecedented new power has by now been fully exposed, and the UN did it to themselves, in part by choosing Warsaw, Poland, as the site of the COP 19 shenanigans. CFACT President David Rothbard was loudly cheered by Poles as he exposed the real intentions of the UN, and the fallout continues.

In a move which shows what can only be interpreted as disdain for the UN climate summit, Poland abruptly fired its environment minister who also serves as President of COP 19!

China has led a COP 19 walkout by a bloc of 132 developing nations over the “loss and damage,” issue bringing one track of the UN climate change summit to a screeching halt. Loss and damage refers to the concept of legal liability on the part of developed nations for natural disasters and other problems […]

CFACT unleashed its secret weapon today at the UN global warming conference in Warsaw, as Apollo Astronaut Walt Cunningham went toe-toe with global warming alarmists.

In his recent lecture before The Global Warming Foundation in London, former Australian Prime Minister John Howard addresses the “sanctimonious tone” of many to whom global warming has become a “substitute religion.” An overriding feature of the debate, he notes, is the constant attempt to intimidate policy makers into following the party line that “the science is settled,” when it is not. Rather than try to limit growth, Howard said, economists need to recognize that the world will have up to 2.2 billion new middle class consumers by 2030, and we need to provide goods and services for this emergent class.

As the Obama administration utilizes any excuse available to throttle down American energy production, other countries are headed in the opposite direction.

Philippines climate negotiator Naderev “Yeb” Saño of the Philippines announced to COP 19’s plenary session that he will conduct a hunger strike for the remainder of the UN climate summit in Warsaw. While we stand with Mr. Sano in our desire to help Filipinos cope, Typhoon Haian/Yolanda was the work of nature, not of man.

As COP 19 participants continued haggling over the meaning of “consensus” and which pockets were the best ones to pick for the “Green Climate Fund,” 150 or so officials delegates and representatives from NGO’s and media crammed into a side event sponsored by the always entertaining Gaia Foundation.

You’ve heard us say the UN’s decision to have a climate conference in Poland was a big mistake. Poland is not only a nation highly skeptical of climate alarmism, but also one that is supportive and heavily reliant on coal and fossil fuels. Poland was probably not going to offer them the reception they were looking for.

Now it appears some Greens are coming to a similar conclusion.

The typhoon tragedy in the Philippines happened at an opportune time for COP19. This will be used as a driving force to push loss and damage. Hold onto your wallet!

More than 50,000 enthusiastic Poles gathered in downtown Warsaw on Monday to celebrate National Independence Day, CFACT president David Rothbard was invited to the stage to deliver an impassioned address celebrating freedom and warning against the dangerous and oppressive climate agenda of the UN.
