The COP15 problem is not climate change skepticism, it is anti nuclear fanaticism

Paradoxically, the AGW skeptics are not the most serious enemies of AGW mitigation. The eco-extremests are. If AGW skeptics are basically in denial about AGW, they are not in denial about the essential role of nuclear power in a future of energy. Many AGW skeptics harbor rational doubts about the use of renewables in future energy schemes. The Green mainstream remains incapable of anything but a dogmatic hostility toward nuclear power. This anti-nuclear attitude, leads anti-nuclear environmentalists to hugely exaggerate the liabilities of nuclear power as well as engage in self-deceptive denials of the liabilities of renewable generation systems.

No denying: In resolving questions about global-warming research, let’s follow the science

We can identify at least two areas where clear answers are required:

• • The methodology. If there was a demonstrable effort made by CRU scientists or others to change data to guide it toward a preferred result, this should be identified and condemned by the scientific community. A consensus built around faulty data is as useless as one built around the premise that water freezes at 50 degrees Fahrenheit rather than 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The scientifically observable facts will not change to accommodate a faulty consensus.

• • The claims that peer review boards have been set up to deliberately exclude climate change skeptics must be answered. The strength of the scientific method rests on full faith in peer review. It must not be rigged.

Copenhagen climate summit: Behind the scenes at the sceptics' conference

Tuvalu gives Copenhagen that old sinking feeling

Copenhagen denies Tuvalu bid for tough climate controls

Global Day of Climate protest, 12th December 2009

COPENHAGEN – December 8 – As the Copenhagen Climate Talks get underway and hopes of a meaningful deal continue to fade, a global protest is building against the failure of world leaders to make progress on this critical issue.

…up to 50,000 expected on the streets of New Delhi

Phi Beta Iota: India is joined with China and Brazil and Russia in opposing climate change controls that will diminish the prospects of the poor.  If the 50,000 materialize, they will have been paid to show up and clueless about the facts.

Climate talks teeter as split emerges

A major split has emerged between developing countries at the United Nations climate conference in Copenhagen over the best way to help the most vulnerable countries.

Police fear an international extremist group may also be on its way to Copenhagen to commit acts of violence.

More Lies From Al Gore As He Attempts To Dismiss ClimateGate

Al Gore has responded to the Climategate emails scandal by doing what he knows best, skirting the truth and making statements that have no correlation to actual known facts.

Gore vs. Palin on climate change

In an interview that will air on MSNBC at 1:00 pm ET today, Al Gore rebutted Sarah Palin's Washington Post op-ed and Facebook postings that question the science on climate change given the “Climate-gate” controversy.

In response, Gore said that “the deniers are persisting in an era of unreality. The entire North Polar icecap is disappearing before our eyes… What do they think is happening?”

Copenhagen Summit: wealthy nations accused of ‘carbon colonialism'

The G77's chair, Lumumba Stanislaus Di Aping of Sudan, went on the attack again today, telling journalists that the Danish text “seemed to secure 60 per cent of the global atmospheric space for 20 per cent of the world's wealthiest nations”.

U.S. sees robust climate talks, no “reparations”

“We absolutely recognize our historic role in putting emissions in the atmosphere, up there, but the sense of guilt or culpability or reparations, I just categorically reject that,” Stern said in response to a reporter's question.

ClimateGate Alarmists Don't Like What They've Created

I refer them to the death threats and actual physical attacks that their side, which wholly relies upon intimidation of one kind or another, have been administering for years against those who would dare stand up for their scientific discipline. They are compiled in “Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud and Deception to Keep You Misinformed.” Incidentally, in the chapter “Stupid Science Tricks” I also name the ClimateGate actors by name and detail what they now admit to have been doing to get this hysterical campaign where it is. ClimateGate does not provide revelations, they are affirmations.

Climategate: the Copenhagen Horror Show Suffers Severe Blows

* One week before the conference, it was revealed that the European-based carbon trading schemes have been used for massive financial fraud costing hundreds of millions of euros. The most common form is called “carousel” fraud, whereby criminals buy carbon credits in countries where there is little or no value-added tax, and sell them in countries such as Denmark, which has a 25% VAT. The fraudsters charge their customers the VAT, pocket the money, and disappear without paying the tax authorities.
