Climate Groups Retool Argument For Global Warming

United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
In case you missed it, there's the global environmental summit this week in Mexico, "UN Climate Change Conference in Cancun." Al Jazeera has your requisite climate change alarmism update: Over 15,000 participants traveled by Fossil Fuel-burning jets to a conference where no real progress is expected. The Mexican government refused to provide an estimated "Carbon Footprint" for the event, and naturally the fabulous resort location at Cancun was once a pristine tropical mangrove forest, now destr...

'Warmest Year on Record'? The Truth is Global Warming Has Halted
© Daily Mail Winter's icy grip: Drivers and Pedestrians battle through blizzards in Kent last week. A year ago tomorrow, just before the opening of the UN Copenhagen world climate summit, the British Meteorological Office issued a confident prediction. The mean world temperature for 2010, it announced, 'is expected to be 14.58C, the warmest on record' - a deeply worrying 0.58C above the 1961-1990 average. World temperatures, it went on, were locked inexorably into an ever rising trend: ...

Global warming shares blame for Europe's cold weather says climate scientist
Global warming may be contributing to the current heavy snow and subzero temperatures across Europe, which has closed major airports, caused hundreds of highway accidents and several deaths. Cold weather in Europe is often associated with a weather system known as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) but there is also a significant impact from current low levels of Sea Ice in the Barents-Kara Sea, according to a leading climate scientist. Low levels of Sea Ice in the Barents-Kara Sea are current...

Author claims we're in the grip of a mini ice age...
AFTER nearly two weeks of snow and sub zero temperatures rivaling those of Siberia, the old joke about Global Warming being a good thing has had a new lease of life. So what has happened to doom-laden predictions of the world heating up as Glaciers melt? Mike Kelly reports. FIRST the good news. These bitter winters aren’t going to last forever. The bad news is that they will go on for the next 30 years as we have entered a mini ice age. So says author Gavin Cooke in his book Frozen Britai...

Shocker: IPCC Alarmism About Melting Ice Caps And Flooded Cities Turns Out To Be False
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is the “scientific consensus” that is endlessly referred to by Environmental Activists like Al Gore when they want to silence any dissent to Global Warming dogma. In fact, the IPCC was the co-recipient of the Nobel Prize with Al Gore for their work on the climate change issue. One of the most over-the-top claims made by the IPCC was that sea levels were going to rise due to melting ice caps (among other things) and those rising sea levels...

Cancun sun speeds decay of global warming charade
Cancun, Mexico: Not a bad place for a summit, eh? This global-warming/climate-change stuff is a great racket. Over in England right now, they’re locked in the jaws of a very early freeze-up. The roads are iced, the plows overworked, and people are angry. But there’s a precious subset of the English population that are not enduring the frigid and premature torments of a northern winter. They’re the climate-change Activists, Bureaucrats, politicians, puppeteers and NGOs — t...

Photograph: Patrick Pleul/EPA Last week we launched The ultimate Climate Change FAQ, a collaborative project designed to create the best and most useful online guide to all aspects of climate change. We kicked off by inviting readers to submit questions that they wanted to see answered - and to tell us how they would like to see the project develop. The response was fantastic. Hundreds of people submitted questions (more on those in a...

What happened to the 'warmest year on record'?
A year ago tomorrow, just before the opening of the UN Copenhagen world climate summit, the British Meteorological Office issued a confident prediction. The mean world temperature for 2010, it announced, 'is expected to be 14.58C, the warmest on record' - a deeply worrying 0.58C above the 19611990 average. Met Office officials openly boasted that they hoped by their statements to persuade the Copenhagen gathering to impose new and stringent carbon emission limits - an ambition that was not to b...

A Mediator at the Climate Bazaar
. CANCÚN, Mexico - I thought of Ted Kheel, the recently deceased master of conflict resolution, as I strolled the halls at the climate negotiations here on Thursday. They could have used him, I thought. Resembling some mind-boggling game of multidimensional chess, the treaty talks reflect deep disputes between blocs of countries rich and poor, North and South, East and West - asserting various levels of vulnerability and culpability. A couple of years ago, I’d mused about holding a m

Whiteout across Britain as Cancun Climate Change Summit Discusses Global Warming!!!

The news 'programs' on all UK stations are headlining every broadcast with reports of heavy snow and temperatures as low as -26C in Scotland with -10C being the expected temperature in Edinburgh tonight and for the next few days the temperature is not expected to go above freezing, hovering somehwhere arou...

Pachauri: The Impacts Of Climate Change Are Here And Now
Pachauri: The Impacts Of Climate Change Are ‘Here And Now’ The Wonk Room is reporting and tweeting live from the international climate talks in Cancun, Mexico. The impacts of climate change are here and now, Dr. Rajendra Pachauri warned yesterday at a forum on communicating Climate Science. Pachauri, the chair of the Nobel-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that scientists need to do a better job explaining that Global Warming is not a distant threat, but a pr...

Alarmist Doomsday warning of rising seas 'was wrong', says Met Office study
Alarming predictions that Global Warming could cause sea levels to rise 6ft in the next century are wrong, it has emerged. A Met Office study also rules out the shutdown of the Atlantic Ocean’s conveyor belt, which would trigger Arctic winters in Britain like those seen in the film The Day After Tomorrow. However, the report says the IPCC was right to warn of a sea level rise of up to 2ft by 2100, and that a 3ft rise could happen. The IPCC underestimated the danger posed by the melting of...

UN Global Warming summit begins with prayer to 'Mayan moon goddess'...
With United Nations climate negotiators facing an uphill battle to advance their goal of reducing emissions linked to Global Warming, it's no surprise that the woman steering the talks appealed to a Mayan goddess Monday. Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, invoked the ancient jaguar goddess Ixchel in her opening statement to delegates gathered in Cancun, Mexico, noting that Ixchel was not only goddess of The Moon, but also "the goddess of ...

WWII-Style Rationing to Fight Global Warming?
Some Climate Change experts say World War II-style Rationing in developed countries may be needed to bring down Carbon Emissions to fight against Global Warming. Scientists meeting in Cancun, Mexico at the Sixteenth "Conference of the Parties," or COP16, say that unless emissions are reduced in the next 10 years, there will be a significant temperature increase. The summit is a part of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. According to the London Daily Telegraph, scienti...

Why the hell not? United Nations global warming negotiators pray to a Mayan god
2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of Slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before me. 4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.

Old meme: Earth has a fever. New meme: "Are we freezing because of global warming?"
Old meme, ala Al Gore: New meme, appropriately via memeorandum: Are we freezing because of Global Warming? For six years, a team at Southampton University has been using instruments, strung across the Atlantic from The Bahamas to North Africa, to monitor the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. This is the massive system of currents, including the Gulf Stream, that carries a mind-boggling 1.3 petawatts of heat - that's 1,300,000,000,000,000 watts - northwards in its warm upp...

The Long-Distance Climate Campaigner
CANCÚN, Mexico — Over the weekend, I caught up with Bill McKibben, whose approach to environmental campaigning seems drawn from the “year of living strenuously” he endured training to reach peak performance as a long-distance skier. Despite turning 50 this week, and facing few signs of significant shifts in climate policies, McKibben has steadily intensified his efforts to build a worldwide peoples’ movement strong enough to overcome fossil-fueled inertia and limit Climate Chan

Frustrations show as climate talks resume
Cancun, Mexico – Frustrated at past failures, climate negotiators began a critical two-week conference Monday with a call from Mexico's president to think beyond their nations' borders and consider all humanity as they bargain over an agreement to fight Global Warming.

"It would be a tragedy if our inability to see ...

Cancun Climate Clowns: 'A Million Climate Change Deaths Each Year'
It's not all one big party down in Cancun. In between lavish soirees, the UN climate kooks are still also focusing on the business at hand: Namely making up wild claims about how may people will die if they don't do something soon and oh, by the way, it'll cost you a bundle. BY 2030, Climate Change will indirectly cause nearly one million Deaths a year and inflict $US157 billion ($161.21 billion) in damage in terms of today's economy, according to estimates presented at UN talks. The biggest m...

On tap this week: House GOP to decide on committee chairmanships This week is slated to bring the climax of the rather acrimonious battle to lead the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee when Republicans take over the chamber next year.   The GOP Steering Committee plans to cast votes Tuesday. Reps. Joe Barton (R-Texas), Fred Upton (R-Mich.), John Shimkus (R-Ill.) and Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) are gunning for the position, with Upton considered the frontrunner.   The entire GOP conferen...

Global Warming Experts Pray to Mexican Goddess, Demand 20 Years of Rationing
