Petersberg Climate Dialogue: Merkel and Röttgen try to Dispense with the Drama
By Edgar L. Gärtner
Sophisticated self-deception
As already mentioned, the end of the Copenhagen climate summit at the end of 2009 demonstrated that the climatic political course of the European Union and particularly Germany lost its attractiveness in the world enormously.In view of the fact that Europe’s economy has stagnated as the only world region in the [...]

The Select Committee, in its letter inviting testimony for the present hearing, cites various scientific bodies as having concluded that
1. The global climate has warmed;
2. Human activities account for most of the warming since the mid-20th century;
3. Climate change is already causing a broad range of impacts in the [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Nuclear Energy from France or Frequent Blackouts
Climate Politics Means Chaos on the German Power Market
by Edgar L. Gärtner
“There is at present no other industry in Germany, which is torn up and directionless like the electricity industry. Reason is the dominance of environmental aspects in the energy and especially in the electricity politics.” Thus begins an analysis of the questionable developments on the [...]
Lord Monckton: IPCC “At It Again” in Bonn
U.N. makes new push for climate treaty in Bonn this April. Treaty would infringe national sovereignty without benefit to world climate.
LORD CHRISTOPHER MONCKTON (Wisconsin)
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 Imposters are not giving up
“Climategate” as an argument for a World Environment Organization
The sudden but not unexpected resignation of the head of the UN Climate Secretariat in Bonn Ivo de Boer is feeding speculation about an imminent collapse of the whole global warming swindle. Only a few days earlier, Phil Jones, a leading member of the UN Intergovernmental Panel [...]
Is it Possible to Found World Politics on Science?
When I was writing these lines I received a piece of news that an US senate committee had to postpone a debate on Global Warming because of an icy snow storm over the US East coast . However, this weather capriole only confirms what more and more people think. They do no longer believe in [...]
Fluorescent Light Bulbs: Dark Ages in Perspective
EDGAR GAERTNER (Frankfurt)
As you know the EU is phasing out traditional incandescent light bulbs in order to “save energy and the climate”. Consumers are obliged to successively replace the simple and cheap incandescent lamps once invented by Thomas Alva Edison by relatively complex and expensive fluorescent lamps with electronic stuff. Perhaps you do not know [...]
Water seeks its own level: here comes that sinking feeling
What’s the difference between the climate jamboree and the Titanic? At least the latter had an orchestra. Numerous groups are eager to grab the headlines in Copenhagen; the smaller you are, the more original the initiatives. But dressing up as a polar bear is a tiresome business. Better try for direct appeal to bleeding hearts [...]
Activists without concern: how to use the climate for your own purposes
As Noël Coward put it in a song, “Why do the wrong people travel?” It should not come as a surprise, yet the cheerful way in which some groups exploit international events to hijack the agenda is quite astounding (just imagine for a second free-market groups doing the same thing, and the reaction that would [...]
