johnosullivan - PROSECUTING CLIMATE FRAUD: THE INTERNATIONAL DIMENSION
Many international readers have asked where we, the people who oppose carbon legislation, stand in mounting our own legal challenges against policy implementation based on discredited junk climate science. In this article I shall outline the general legal strategies for challenging what is fast being recognised as the greatest criminal fraud of all time.
...
What has struck me and many other commentators is the astounding extent and pervasiveness of this climate data fraud. Effectively we are confronting an international Ponzi scheme that has festered within five English-speaking nations; the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
Despite 50-plus inches, no ice age is here: [Jeremy Symons, National Wildlife Federation, promotes the greatest scientific fraud in human history]
For our kids and grandkids, snowstorms may be the least of their concerns if we fail to act to reduce pollution and invest in clean energy alternatives. Warmer average temperatures could increase concentrations of ground-level ozone, which is known to aggravate respiratory problems such as asthma, especially in children and seniors. Virginia's incredible diversity of native wildlife--more than 700 species of birds, fish, and animals--will have to adapt to rapid changes in climate and habitat or perish.

Why do polluters work so hard to persuade us not to believe NASA and other scientists? Because they are worried we are going to shift to cleaner alternative energy sources like wind and solar and also pursue greater energy efficiency. If we take a bite out of our dependency on oil, we take a bite out of their enormous profits.
Climate Change Education (CCE): [More public funding for the greatest scientific fraud in human history]
The Climate Change Education Partnership (CCEP) program seeks to establish a coordinated national network of regionally- or thematically-based partnerships devoted to increasing the adoption of effective, high quality educational programs and resources related to the science of climate change and its impacts.
...
NSF anticipates having up to $20 million ($10 million in both FY 2010 and FY 2011) to support CCEP Phase I activities, subject to the availability of funds.
Climate change's impact on forests being measured via expanding tree trunks - washingtonpost.com
Parker's data, which showed the trunks gradually fattening over time, indicated that many of the trees were growing two to four times faster than expected. That raised questions about climate change's impact on the age-old rhythms of U.S. forests.
...
After the Civil War, forests were allowed to grow back when easterners abandoned their pastures and moved West. Virginia, for instance, went from 25 to 30 percent forested in the mid-1800s to 62.5 percent now.
