[From the world of James Hrynyshyn] : The Island of [Alarmism]

That Peckford would chose to quote a science-fiction author who never conducted any actual research beyond his medical studies was perhaps just a misstep. But there's more where that came from. Peckford then turned to Bjorn Lomborg (who doesn't believe we can fight malaria and climate change at the same time), Stephen McIntyre and Ross McKintrick (who tried, unsuccessfully, to debunk the "hockey stick" reconstruction of millennial-scale temperatures), and Freeman Dyson (who has repeatedly demonstrated his failure to keep up with the last 30 years of climatology). He even mentions the discredited Wegman report, which is primarily a political product, not a scientific one.

More carbon fraud news

LONDON, July 1 (Reuters) - A U.S. climate bill may eventually stoke major investment in the environmental sector, but analysts say a rise in takeover rumours is providing a short-term boost to shares in greenhouse gas emissions trading and offsetting companies.
Britain is home to four major, publicly-traded carbon emissions trading companies, all of which have seen a marked rise in their share prices in the past month.

Clean energy project developers EcoSecurities, Camco International and Trading Emissions aggregate and sell emissions offsets, called Certified Emissions Reductions (CERs), issued under the Kyoto Protocol climate pact, while Climate Exchange owns and operates carbon trading marketplaces in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
Earlier this month, EcoSecurities rejected an offer from the trading arm of France's EDF, days after it rebuffed a bid by a co-founder and former president.
Camco shareholder Generation IM Climate Solutions Fund, chaired by former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore, upped its stake to 19 percent in March from 14.6 percent in February.
