Excerpt:
Paleoclimatology Expert Professor Tim Patterson of Carleton University to chair climate realist non-profit
The Executive Director of the International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC), Mr. Tom Harris, announces the appointment of Professor Tim Patterson of Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada as the new Chairman of the coalition.
“I look forward to working with the ICSC to help promote a more rational view of global climate change throughout society,” said Professor Patterson. “The hypothesis that human emissions of carbon dioxide are a significant climate driver is simply that - an hypothesis, one that the much of today’s science is showing to be highly improbable. Natural factors, such as changes in the brightness of the Sun, are clearly the major controllers of our planet’s climate.”

hope they have the same approach

If the science is wrong, then nothing else matters
"I completely agree with fourhorses that the ultimate aim is to create a situation where the CPC can say assertively, "The science no longer supports the assumptions of the Kyoto Accord."
However, politically this cannot be done overnight without the Conservatives taking what they consider to be an unacceptable hit (do people think they would really lose votes with this statement (from Canadians who would otherwise vote for them, that is?).
So, the solution put on this site a little while ago by Tina is one I would support as well - namely, they don't take sides at all and admit they don't know and so are holding unbiased, public hearings in which scientists from both sides are invited to testify. The resulting chaos, with claims all over the map, will do enough to thoroughly confuse everyone (which is appropriate, actually, since the science is so immature and, frankly, confusing) and take the wind out of the sails of the "we are causing a climate disaster and must stop it" camp entirely, and the CPC can quietly turn to important issues without really having had to say much at all. What's wrong with this approach?
Sincerely,Tom Harris, Executive Director, Natural Resources Stewardship Project
