Steve Malloy, author of Green Hell: How Environmentalists Plan to Ruin Your Life, kicked off the first full day of conference proceedings by warning that Obama and his minions are conspiring to control every aspect of Americans' lives—the colors of their cars, the kind of toilet paper they use, how much time they spend in the shower, the temperature of their homes—all under the guise of U.N. greenhouse-gas-reduction schemes. "Obama isn't a U.S. socialist," Malloy thundered. "He's an international socialist. He envisions a one-world government."

Earth continues its relentless plunge toward environmental collapse in Robinson's well-done if intensely didactic follow-up to Forty Signs of Rain (2004). As a result of global warming, the Gulf Stream has stalled, and when winter comes, impossibly frigid temperatures hit the Eastern Seaboard and Western Europe. As people starve, multinational corporations explore ways of making a profit from the disaster. When Antarctica's ice shelves collapse, low-lying island nations quite literally slip beneath the rising waters. In Washington, D.C., clear-sighted scientists must overcome government inertia and stupidity to put into effect policies that may begin to salvage the situation. An enormous fleet of ships is dispatched to the North Atlantic to dump millions of tons of salt into the ocean in the hope of restarting the Gulf Stream. This ecological disaster tale is guaranteed to anger political and economic conservatives of every stripe, but it provides perhaps the most realistic portrayal ever created of the environmental changes that are already occurring on our planet. It should be required reading for anyone concerned about our world's future.

Climate sceptics denounced by Brown as he launches climate change group | Environment | guardian.co.uk

But Mr Brown brushed aside the sceptics' challenge during a UN webcast to launch the group today.

"Those people who have become global warming deniers and those people who have become climate change deniers are against the grain of all the evidence [what evidence, specifically?] that has been assembled that global warming and climate change are indeed challenges that the world must meet and that can only be met together," he said. He has previously denounced what he described as "anti-science, flat-earth climate sceptics".

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon cautioned against thinking that the cold winter in the northern hemisphere – which is currently causing heavy snowfall in the New York area – disproves the global warming hypothesis.

"It may be true that you have seen some cold weather, as we have seen recently in New York, but the overall tradition of scientific evidence suggests that global warming is happening much faster than one may realise," said Mr Ban.

"That is what I have been told by the scientists and I believe that is true."

But, but, but… | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

The greatest scientific scandal of our lifetime is unravelling before our eyes, and the ABC has to be dragged screaming to even notice. Don’t forget, the reason this scandal grew so monstrous was that the media refused for years to even question the deeply questionable. This has been a media scandal as well.
