EU falls silent on funding for climate [hoax] deal

BRUSSELS, Oct 16 (Reuters) - The European Union has fallen silent on earlier talk of paying up to 15 billion euros ($22.4 billion) a year to poor countries as part of a deal to tackle climate change, draft documents show.

"Reducing emissions by 20 percent is nothing more than a scam," [Greenpeace campaigner Joris den Blanken] said. "Data shows we've already reduced emissions by well over 10 percent, and that's without factoring in reductions resulting from the economic slowdown."

Scientific love-in on climate does not prove a pointy-head job

The presence of a vocal few trying to rebut the reasoned science of climate change is becoming the tyranny of the minority, distracting us from limiting the damage. Climate science is long and complicated, providing many rabbit holes down which deniers can run and forcing scientists to explain - again and again - why the deniers are wrong. The interaction of air, land and sea is so complex that it's a wonder there's any scientific consensus at all, but there is - a strong one. And yet denials continue.

My job, to steal a phrase from a climate scientist I quoted in the tipping points story, is to be “caustically honest” about such murkiness where it’s real, and to be similarly probing when someone is trying to manufacture murkiness — as has happened a lot in recent years in the climate fight.

And my job also is to probe and write when there’s evidence that aspects of human nature make it unlikely that a “verbal Pearl Harbor” will jog us into action on energy and climate.
