Cancun, etc.
HANS LABOHM (Amsterdam) The Cancun climate conference was much like Copenhagen. The Cancun mountain gave birth to less than a mouse. But global warmers will persevere. They will continue their quest for the Holy Grail of legally binding CO2 reductions … ad infinitum. It is like the proverbial irresistible force colliding with an immovable object. [...]
Memo to America: Don’t do carbon trading!
The United States must learn from Europe’s mistakes – not repeat them ROGER HELMER, MEP Senator Harry Reid has repeatedly denounced opposition to carbon trading as “dangerous.” Senator Reid is wrong. It is the House and Senate climate and renewable energy bills that are dangerous. Fortunately, the recent elections and the ongoing dissension at the [...]
Funny Games
by Einar Du Rietz That the activities behind the scenes before, during and after last year’s circus in Copenhagen were everything from strange to dirty is no surprise. For example, CFACT Europe, together with the paper Berlingske Tiderne in Denmark, discovered the sudden shift in the official Danish attitude towards Dalai Lama, an apparent effort to offer [...]
A new dark age for Germany?
Offshore wind power projects pave the way to frequent blackouts EDGAR L. GAERTNER Thousands of bureaucrats are preparing for another cushy climate confab in Cancun — while U.S. Senators Bignaman, Brownback and Reid are contemplating how to ram renewable energy standards through a lame-duck session of Congress. If they’re wise, American voters and congressmen will [...]
16 Going on 17
by Einar Du Rietz At the recent preparatory conference in Bonn, a gentleman asked me after a short discussion if this was “all about money”. To some extent I’m beginning to feel that he pin pointed the entire circus. COP 16 is kicking off in Cancun, and it’s amazing to read all the commentaries having [...]

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. For decades the climate debate has been obfuscated by cherry-picking, spin-doctoring and scare-mongering by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [...]
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. Now, during the count down for Cancun, it’s worth the effort to [...]
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…. Certainly, gaming the system has always been at the [...]
Confession of a climate prostitute
Sent to us by our friend Drieu Godefrid* [translation from the original French via Google]. ____________ Today the Academy of Sciences released its report on the climate in which it validates the whole three thousand pages of the latest IPCC report and its conclusions, it is time for the masks to fall. I am ashamed. [...]
Carbon sequestration scrapped in Netherlands and other developments
HANS LABOHM (Amsterdam) A serious dialogue has started between the crème de la crème of the Dutch climate sceptics and climate scientists of the Royal Netherlands Met Office (KNMI). It is focusing on the mechanisms underlying the greenhouse effect (radiation, evapo/convection) and the ensuing climate sensitivity. Profound differences of view still remain. The decision of [...]
Frankly Sir, You Are an Embarrasment
Gore chooses Swedish government jet over public transportation, leaves car running while telling the rest of us to cut carbon By Einar Du Rietz He did it again. Recently, Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore was on tour again (or maybe he does that all the time). This time, he turned up in Gothenburg (Sweden) [...]
Stockholm temperatures freeze global warming claims
Lessons learned from the Swedish temperature record. In science, observations must be taken much more seriously than theories or computer models. October 20, 2010 by Dennis Avery CHURCHVILLE, VA—The ten coldest winter-spring temperatures out of the last 500 in Stockholm, Sweden, were almost all during the Little Ice Age. No surprise there. The coldest was 1569, [...]
President Klaus: Warming action not justified
“I am not impressed by heavily biased British scientific institutions.” Czech President Vaclav Klaus finds no evidence that government spending on global warming would be worth the cost. “I don’t see empirical evidence of human-caused global warming. I see so many mistakes in the methodology of science and modelling.” President Klaus, who recently served as [...]
Expectations Low for Cancun after Chinese Failure
by Einar Du Rietz According to reports from the recent preparatory climate conference in China, the so called world leaders – most eager to show off in Copenhagen a year ago – are trying to avoid even showing up for the conference in Cancun, instead commissioning their ministers for environment to take the embarrassment. One enlightning [...]
