Latin American Herald Tribune - Central America: Rich Nations Should Pay for [Climate Hoax]

Juana Argueñal, Nicaragua’s environment minister, said that out of a sense of “environmental justice,” wealthy, industrialized countries should pay poor nations for provoking climate change with their greenhouse-gas emissions.

Scoop: Climate Change Research "Scandal" Breaks

The gist of the leaked emails is that they disclosed IPCC scientists discussed manipulating scientific data to minimize evidence that did not fit the official global warming position of the UN IPCC.

Despite repeatedly claiming to the media that no peer-reviewed studies exist that challenge global warming, and that skeptics can’t get published in peer reviewed journals because their work is not good enough, the emails disclose IPCC scientists have actually been colluding behind the scenes to lobby journals not to publish articles by skeptical scientists.

In one case, they even discussed blacklisting and boycotting one climate journal if it ever dared to publish a peer reviewed paper from a skeptical scientist again.

Quick Fact: WSJ 's Freeman claims "there hasn't been any warming since 1998"; climate experts disagree | Media Matters for America

FREEMAN: $800 billion is a lot of money. The cost is huge, and that's probably an underestimate. But, you know, there's also that little detail that there hasn't been any warming since 1998, so.

STUART VARNEY (host): But what really killed it here? Was it economics, was it the cost that killed it, or something else?

FREEMAN: Well, what is the argument for it? If you're saying this is a massive cost, even bigger than this crazy stimulus, even bigger than the TARP, and by the way, there's no proof that this is happening as a result of man's activities, in fact, lately, it's not even happening anymore. So it basically has no premise right now.

A brief history of climate change and conflict | Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists

Enter the "little ice age"--a period marked by abnormally cooler temperatures. Scholars differ on the exact duration of this period; some researchers believe it started as early as 1000 in certain northern regions, whereas other historians, such as noted scholar Brian Fagan, believe it lasted from 1300 to 1850. Regardless, when the climate turned cold, the Viking colonies that had flourished in the warmth of the medieval climate optimum collapsed in Newfoundland (which they had abandoned because of ongoing conflict with the Native Americans). The western Greenland colony was the next to collapse, and around 1350, coinciding with the time of the Black Death, the eastern colony also began to decline. It survived only into the early 1500s.
