[In case you missed it]: UN wrongly linked global warming to natural disasters - Times Online
The claim by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), that global warming is already affecting the severity and frequency of global disasters, has since become embedded in political and public debate. It was central to discussions at last month's Copenhagen climate summit, including a demand by developing countries for compensation of $100 billion (£62 billion) from the rich nations blamed for creating the most emissions.

Ed Miliband, the energy and climate change minister, has suggested British and overseas floods — such as those in Bangladesh in 2007 — could be linked to global warming. Barack Obama, the US president, said last autumn: "More powerful storms and floods threaten every continent."
159 Years of Climate Alarmism at The New York Times | NewsReal Blog
Fortunately for the Climate Alarmists, the climate is ALWAYS changing, and there’s no reason to expect that to ever change. So what must we do to make sure that this doesn’t keep happening every 15 to 25 years?

I think that the best thing we can do is to insist that the history of climate change alarmism and fraud be memorialized in all of the applicable history textbooks that are used in our schools. 
[I blame Glenn Beck]: Chinese adviser calls for open mind on climate change causes
China's most senior negotiator on climate change says more research needed to establish whether warming is man-made

China's most senior negotiator on climate change said today he was keeping an open mind on whether global warming was man-made or the result of natural cycles.

Xie Zhenhua said there was no doubt that warming was taking place, but more and better scientific research was needed to establish the causes.
EU Referendum: Broken politics
Now that "climate change" is becoming an embarrassment, we can expect the same treatment afforded to EU issues. It will become a "non-subject", shunned by the politicians who will hastily change the subject when it is mentioned. It raises questions they cannot or do not want to answer, and shows them up for the mindless, useless mouths that they have become.

But, as a certain Dr R K Pachauri is finding, you can run but you can't hide. If the politicians do not want to talk about climate change, then that is all the more reason for raising it at every opportunity. The issue is the meat and drink of politics and, much as the politicians don't want to "do" politics, they must be reminded that we, not they, define the agendas.
