YouTube - Alec Loorz at Bioneers 21
[Introduction by climate fraudster James Hansen!] Alec Loorz came to visit the Bioneers this year. Alec is 16 years old and, at 12 started Kids Vs. Global Warming. Now he has thousands of young people
activated around the country.

His presentation at Bioneers had the audience on their feet.

The now 16 founder of Kids vs Global Warming calls upon the "ruling generation" to consider the needs of his and future generations in their actions, urges youth to lead the way to a sustainable, just society, and tells us about the "million kid march".

I’m in India this week for a series of meetings on energy, climate, and global governance, and I’ve been reminded, once again, of how wedded some major countries still are to the Kyoto protocol.
The balance of probabilities : Nature : Nature Publishing Group
The terms of reference for the review define science as “statements, research findings or other claims made by scientists”. In reality, perhaps the most common complaint from scientists about the corporation's coverage of global warming is the exposure handed to sceptical non-scientists, such as former UK chancellor Nigel Lawson. This is the source of the long-standing 'false balance' problem. The BBC Trust, which is running the review, should take a stricter line here. If BBC staff want to use non-experts to criticize widely accepted science, they must explain this lack of expertise to the audience, and why the BBC has invited them to participate. Too many of those responsible for news and current affairs at the BBC, and across other media, consider themselves primarily in the entertainment business. It is generally not a lack of scientific understanding by reporters that produces poor science content, as often alleged, but that straight news coverage of science is often thought to make for poor entertainment.

This is why the signal of the climate-science story, the steady accumulation of evidence that points in the same direction, is too easily drowned out by the noise — criticism and hype of individual papers, statements from high-profile individuals and spurious dissent. Against that background, the uncertainty of climate science becomes a story in itself, not a crucial footnote to the main narrative.
- Bishop Hill blog - Lord Marland shames Parliament
Lord Lawson of Blaby: My Lords, is the Minister aware that the chairman of the Government’s own Green Investment Bank commission has authoritatively stated that the cost of meeting our current carbon reduction commitments in this country is somewhere between £800 billion and £1 trillion? Does he not agree that, with the best will in the world, this mind-boggling cost cannot be justified except in the context of a binding global carbon reduction agreement? Therefore, in the absence of such an agreement being secured at Cancun, does he not agree that it is only commonsense to suspend the Climate Change Act until such time as a binding global agreement is secured?

Lord Marland: My Lords, when I bumped into my noble friend in the Corridor and he said that he was catching the train to York I was rather relieved. Sadly, he will be catching a slightly later train than I was hoping for. I have now forgotten entirely what his question was.
