Climate change no longer scary in Europe
The tide has turned HANS LABOHM (Amsterdam) Bjorn Lomborg’s ongoing publicity campaign for his new film makes it obvious that the fight against the delusion of dangerous man-made global warming remains an uphill struggle.

Remember Remember – Last November
by Einar Du Rietz How can we ever forget the Climate-gate scandal that erupted right in time for the Copenhagen debacle. Or fail to note that, interestingly enough, some of the more stunning revelations – Holland-gate etc – were made just after the conference.

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….
