For some reason, China won't sign on to climate change restrictions | Infinite Monkeys

Wait... what? Roughly translated, China doesn't want its robust economic growth hobbled by artificial caps imposed by meddling multinational treaties. How... unprogressive.

An artist put flashing red lights all around Copenhagen to measure how high up the water would rise if all the ice in Greenland melted away. Except, that wasn't good enough

How Climategate is affecting my future--a somewhat commercial announcement: Thomas Fuller

I am co-authoring a book on Climategate with Steve Mosher, who was very much Johnny-on-the-Spot. Should be ready by end of the year. Looks like 200 pages, with assorted charts and graphs.

Climategate is indeed changing our world.

Americans Overwhelmingly Oppose Go-It-Alone Emissions Cuts

The big take-away for U.S. politicians is that — quite clearly and resoundingly — Americans overwhelmingly favor a plan that includes all nations. In fact, 75-10 is a good ol’ fashioned route for the “everyone” side over the “just us” side. That means any plan that plan that starts with U.S. pain as a means of demonstrating “leadership” on the issue is not going to be well-received.

Live at Copenhagen: How to Make a Bad Climate Deal Worse » The Foundry

How much [Clinton] expects the U.S. taxpayer to contribute to the $100 billion annual fund was not clear, but it could well be more than the $26 billion America spends on foreign aid each year.

By making such pledges in Denmark, the Obama administration is making the same mistake Bill Clinton and Al Gore did in 1997 - promising abroad what it can’t deliver at home.

I Love CO2: Washington Examiner: Copenhagen Climate Scam Conference

Since the IPCC report is based on faulty data and the Copenhagen delegates refuse to acknowledge East Anglia's climate scam, President Obama should challenge the United Nations to put the Denmark deliberations on hold. The one thing global warming advocates and skeptics ought to agree on is that policy must be based on credible data.

It’s all more evidence that it’s not about reducing the earth’s temperature by a fraction of a degree, but about power, equality, money, wealth redistribution, and knocking the US down a few rungs.

Skeptic's Corner: "Notable Quotes"

Regrading claim of manipulation by CRU of Siberian temperature data

[S. Fred Singer] “I have long suspected that this selective fiddle took place but have not assembled all the evidence.

“We know, and have published, that between 1975 and 2000 the number of weather stations was reduced from nearly 7,000 to only 3,000 with many of them in the former Soviet Union.

“The effect of this would be to produce an artificial temperature trend which we don’t see in the satellite data. So the warming of the past 30 years is likely to be an illusion.”

C3: Obama Lost $61 Billion on AIG & Car Bailouts, Now Wants Taxpayers To Bailout Hugo Chavez, Others For $100 Bil Per Year For Natural Climate Changes

The majority of the "Copenhagen $100 billion" will end up in the corrupt despots' Swiss bank accounts or will be used to purchase military arms or wasted on other non-climatic endeavors. Very little of the $100 billion will ever be used for climate adaption purposes by the receiving countries.

Why are Republicans in Copenhagen? | Washington Examiner

Sensenbrenner's office says he will "closely follow" several issues at the Copenhagen conference, including "the developing world's demands for wealth transfers, the levels of commitment from developing countries [and] the feasibility of greenhouse gas reduction targets." With him are Republican Reps. Joe Barton, Fred Upton, Shelley Moore Capito, John Sullivan, and Marsha Blackburn.

Exclusive: Lead Author Admits Deleting Inconvenient Opinions From IPCC Report

The most damning part of the program is when Ben Santer, a climate researcher and lead IPCC author of Chapter 8 of the 1995 IPCC Working Group I Report, admits that he deleted sections of the IPCC chapter which stated that humans were not responsible for climate change.

Accusing Santer of altering opinions in the IPCC report that disagreed with the man-made thesis behind climate change, Lord Monckton told the program, “In comes Santer and re-writes it for them, after the scientists have sent in their finalized draft, and that finalized draft said at five different places, there is no discernable human effect on global temperature – I’ve seen a copy of this – Santer went through, crossed out all of those and substituted a new conclusion, and this has been the official conclusion ever since.”

If only everyone could be like Norway. The Scandinavian nation intends to cut 100% of its emissions by 2030, making it the first carbon neutral country.

Flashback: Norway: green ambitions and oil exports

Oil and gas sales produced 413 billion kroner ($75 billion Canadian) in revenues in 2008, and such exports have allowed Norway to build up an oil-revenue fund worth 2.1 trillion kroner ($382 billion Canadian).

A farewell to freedom | The SPPI Blog

The danger is that, even if nothing else is agreed at Copenhagen, the 192 countries who have come here will consent to what has been the UN’s ambition all along – namely, the establishment of a world government.
