Fred Moolten promotes climate fraud: Halfway to Copenhagen Is Where We Need A Life Preserver

In the brief week or so since I began posting here, I've noted a commendable focus on the extraordinarily critical issue of universal health care. I mean no disparagement of that effort, which I hope remains strong, but for perspective, I will suggest that even that issue is dwarfed in eventual importance by the threat to all civilization from unmitigated climate change driven by anthropogenic activities - fossil fuel consumption and deforestation. I believe those familiar with the science literature will recognize this perpective as one shared by a large majority of scientists familiar with the evidence. 

Climate [swindle] spending poised to propel AEA

Heavy spending by the Obama administration on environmental measures will boost sales at AEA Technology, the energy and climate change consultancy said, as it digests its recent acquisition of PPC, a US-based environmental data group.

[Can Desmond Tutu convince the world to buy into the greatest scientific fraud in history?]: Blame games on climate change | Nick Mabey and Malini Mehra | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

This year was meant to be the year of climate change. Yet UN negotiations in Bonn this week towards a global climate agreement in Copenhagen (COP15) in December are stalling amid a flurry of weak commitments and recriminations. This combined with economic anxiety about pledging assistance to poorer countries is threatening to bring progress to a halt. If COP15 is to succeed, climate negotiators will have to learn lessons from the world of peacemaking and raise their game accordingly.

At present, climate negotiations are a parody of trade talks, with countries jockeying for advantage, and demanding the most from others while taking the least action possible themselves.
...
If we lack the maturity to deal with climate change, the future is one of mutually assured destruction.

Moving away from the mad world of climate politics will require giving greater voice in international negotiations to the actual victims of climate change rather than their often remote representatives. Perhaps we should invite Desmond Tutu to host a climate change truth and reconciliation commission at Copenhagen? Perhaps this is what is needed to focus minds a little more. The climate can wait – but we cannot.

As usual, there is a lot of climate realism in the comment section of the article above.
