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.
With Adversaries Like This – You Don’t Need Friends
The IPCC report and work will undergo an independent review. It’s not a minute too soon, but neither is it too late. The debate will continue and most certainly will myths and false science continue to spread. The problem, as many sensible commentators have pointed out (a recent, rather objective summary with links is here) [...]
The Pandit, the pundits and the bandits
The IPCC got another knock
recently, perhaps from an unexpected corner. In its 2007 report, the predictions for the Himalayan glaciers indicated that they would entirely disappear by 2035.
In late 2009, at the request of his government, the Indian geologist V.K. Rania (retired) looked into this, and concluded in a White Paper that glaciers (in [...]
Have you met Mr. Jones?
We all suffered at the COP-15 meeting Copenhagen last December, especially from the cold: president Obama had to leave early because of a blizzard in Washington DC. No matter; as we all know cold or heat share a common culprit, namely man-made activities.
If (some) climate scientists were a little less intent on seeking politicised funding [...]
Global Warming Guerillas
The British Spectator published an interesting piece on the key role bloggers have played in exposing climate propaganda. Here’s the link.
Someone Will Have to Pay Somehow
by Einar Du Rietz
Greenpeace International has now issued a statementsaying that they do not support the earlier demand by their UK chief that IPCC Chair, Dr Pachauri resigns. And besides, their executive director UK John Sauven was probably misunderstood by the Times. And in spite of the record cold winter, it’s hard to find snow [...]
Operator – We are NOT Drowning
by Einar Du Rietz
The Dutch authorities would like us to know they are not sinking, at least not yet. The most recent report from Newsvine (quoting AFP) says:
“The Netherlands has asked the UN climate change panel to explain an inaccurate claim in a landmark 2007 report that more than half the country was below sea [...]
It Can’t Be That Hard to Act Like A Gentleman
Einar Du Rietz on the latest IPCC blunder
So we have to wait another 300 years before the Himalayan ice melts. The IPCC has admitted it had the new predictions before the Copenhagen summit, but were to busy to consider them. The most recent account is by the environmental editor at The Times, Ben Webster.
“The chairman of [...]
This is not an Avatar
It remains to be seen whether Copenhagen was indeed a watershed; but at least the French mainstream media seem less apologetic in past months. It is comforting for instance to read the columns by Claude Allègre in the weekly Le Point. (He was sacked from competitor L’Express in 2008, presumably for speaking out against the [...]
Don’t Get Mad About the Weather – Get Even
by Einar Du Rietz
Two of the more intriguing accusations I got thrown at me in Copenhagen were: “Climate Hater” and “Weather Denier”.
Funny, but strange. I’m convinced that cursing along, hating the ever changing climate is about as constructive as trying to steer a sailing boat by shouting orders to the winds. Either one would just [...]
You ain’t seen nothin yet
If you thought that the Copenhagen jamboree moderated the ambient hysteria, the following items may reassure you that worse is yet to come.
JACOB ARFWEDSON (Paris)
According to researchers at King’s College (London) future natural disasters are bound to increase strongly stress levels and anxiety among our fellow citizens. The authors did demand that these concerns be [...]

Merry Christmas my Polar Friends
A Christmas card from Einar Du Rietz, CFACT.EU
After the Copenhagen farce, it’s finally time for joy and for good news.
So let me, as a seasons greeting, send a small reminder about he situation for the cute polar beers.
According to, among others, the international WWF the population is currently around 22-25 000 individuals, a stable population [...]
From Climategate to ETS-Gate?
Par Edgar L. Gärtner
Carbon Fraud is paving the way for a dictatorial world government
While EU representatives are praising the European Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) in Copenhagen as panacea, European law enforcement agency Europol is revealing that carbon credit fraud has caused in the past 18 months more than 5 bn euros damage for European taxpayers. In [...]
