Cancun climate change summit: small island states [want a climate hoax slush fund containing hundreds of billions of pounds] - Telegraph
Poor nations at risk of sea level rise would pay an annual premium, but a large chunk of the money would come from climate change aid provided by rich nations. Like a normal insurance fund, the money would be invested privately so that there are hundreds of billions of pounds available in the event of a crisis.Ask a climate scientist: How can CO2 be so tiny yet so powerful? – Rooted

Aosis are calling for the insurance fund to be part of any global deal on climate change.
A simple answer is to compare CO2 with a pinch of salt in an otherwise tasteless, flat soup. A little salt can make a big gastronomic difference.Memorial for Stephen Schneider set for Sunday | Stanford Daily
Stanford biology professor and senior fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment Stephen Schneider will be memorialized and celebrated on Sunday, Dec. 12 from 1:00 to 6:30 p.m. with a day-long symposium of presentations on climate change. Schneider died of a heart attack on July 19 while traveling on a plane landing in London. Sunday’s event will pay tribute to Schneider, one of the world’s leading climatologists and a beloved member of the Stanford community, through a scientific symposium and memorial celebration.
Sunday’s event will celebrate Schneider’s life with talks titled “Climate-Change Science and Sanity: Steve Schneider’s Extraordinary Contributions to Both,” “Why We Resist the Results of Climate Science” and “The American Public’s Understandings and Misunderstandings About Climate Change: Is There a Crisis of Confidence in Climate Science?” by John Holdren, Naomi Oreskes and Jon Krosnick, respectively.

Tom, there's a scene in the movie Medicine Man where Sean Connery is wracked with guilt as he confesses that at an earlier time during field work in the Amazon he had carelessly introduced a disease that wiped out a population of natives he was living with during his studies.
As I recall something very similar happened in Steven Schneider's past regarding the frogs in the Costa Rican mountains. The difference being instead of confessing his culpability Schneider went the other way, and dedicated the rest of his life to blaiming his mistake on climate change, in effect covering up his crime.
I used to have the links to the story of how he introduced a pathogen picked up at different field sites with his dirty boots, but like the character Bronx I lost it. Left it in the favorites folder on a dead hard drive.
I just can't stomach the beatification of Prof Schneider by a bunch of AGW hypocrits. This is a story that deserves to be retold, with the proper corroberation of course.
Unless you think it's too soon.
