Cancel Cancun
by Einar Du Rietz
…or maybe don’t.
As fun as you can have, in the company of all sorts of people, there is something depressing over these climate conferences. Delegates looking serious while spending other people’s money on down-right dangerous schemes, young people, who ought to be either in school, or out partying, or protesting the real [...]
Where is the green worker?
Perhaps the most pernicious and pervasive gimmick of recent years is that of “green growth.” “We need not renounce our worldly goods,” we are told, “green is also good for business and millions of jobs will be created by putting technology at the service of a better environment.”
Tremendous news: but where are the jobs and [...]
End Game or Mid Term – Bonn
by Einar Du Rietz, Bonn
The game is not over yet, but the climate talks in Bonn are. For the time being. Another session is already scheduled for August, and it might very well be that the free-lunchers will squeeze yet another in, during the buildup of expectations before Cancun. After the enormous debacle before, during and [...]
At Least – Leave Those Kids Alone
by Einar Du Rietz, Bonn
I feel old sometimes. I’m not, according to my doctor, but I’m at least not “Youth”, as defined by the United Nations to be between the age of 15 and 24 (for the first three years in there, you also have the privilege of being “child” at the same time).
Couldn’t care [...]
Update from Bonn Climate Conference
Discord, blame and profiteering at UN Bonn climate conference as UN scrambles to get climate treaty back on track; calls for developed nations to repay ‘climate debt’ and an ‘international court of climate and environmental justice’ to prosecute developed world. Full Update at CFACT.org.
Press briefing tomorrow June 10, 10:30, room Haydn at [...]
CFACT at Bonn climate talks
CFACT is reporting from the UN climate talks in Bonn, Germany. Our display addresses issues of alternative energy and juxtaposes wind turbines with the famed Moai, the carved heads of Easter Island, stating that civilization can’t run for long on superstition or subsidies.
On Saturday and Sunday CFACT met with scientists and policy experts credentialed as [...]
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 [...]
700 Papers Supporting Climate Realism
The list continues to grow. The consensus continues to collapse.
The good folks at Popular Technology are now up to 700 scholarly papers challenging the theory of man-made global warming. Here they are. Here is CFACT’s coverage of the original 450.

Hangover Breakfast in Bonn After Copenhagen Fiasco
by Edgar L. Gärtner
There were no significant steps taken toward a new global waming treaty at the April meeting in the Bonn Maritim Hotel of two ad hoc working groups of the UNFCCC parties. The official purpose of the conference was for the industrialized nations to negotiate additional obligations on the carbon dioxide reductions and [...]
An Offer You Can Not Possibly Reject
by Einar Du Rietz, Bonn
Last day of the climate conference in Bonn, a most interesting city that we unfortunately never had the time to study more closely, due to the – as usual – busy program. Bonn, the city of Beethoven and a symbol both for peaceful German recovery after WWII and the European university [...]
Nothing More than Broken Glass
by Einar Du Rietz, Bonn
It certainly is more solemn here, than in Copenhagen, as most people as this conference persist in pointing out. I’m not complaining, and neither is the local community which this time seems to be spared from closed off traffic and broken glass.
The latter is instead provided by some of the few [...]
CFACT – Mission Bonn
Bonn, Germany
They are at it again, as Lord Monckton puts it. Well, so is CFACT. Strategically positioned in the middle of the action at the new UNFCCC climate talks in Bonn.
It certainly is more quiet than in Copenhagen. Officially, it’s a preparatory, informal meeting, before Mexico. Unofficially, it’s a matter of gathering strength after the [...]
For Lucy (should I find her)
The recent decision by the French government to scrap the CO2 tax was welcome news: it was from the outset mostly a complicated design to satisfy two major interests, quite removed from any environmental concern.
Allègre vivace!
Claude Allègre is a courageous man, besides being a former government minister and a scientist. And unlike most public figures in France, he is not afraid to speak his mind on the climate issue.
His new book, L’imposture climatique is a more than welcome diatribe against the ecologically correct and constructivist establishment.
