The New Nostradamus of the North: Only a handful heads of state attending the Durban COP-17 gathering

The annual UN mass gathering of warmists is to open within a couple of days in Durban, South Africa. Over 20.000 climate tourists delegates are expected to attend the COP-17, but only eight heads of state have so far confirmed their attendance...
Compare that with more than 100 heads of state and government at the Copenhagen COP-15 in 2009. The almost non-existent interest among heads of state is maybe the best illustration of the fact that the game is over for the high priests of AGW.

But  yesterday leading sceptic Andrew Montford said: "We need a public inquiry. It now needs to be done properly.
"What climate scientists are saying in private is very different from what they are saying in public.
"In private  they are suggesting that the process has been completely corrupted by the politicians."

And Dr Benny Peiser of the Global Warming Policy Foundation said: "These e-mails show that  the scientists are far less certain about the science than they  proclaim.

"There are serious debates, serious doubts and serious questions which is to be welcomed - but why only behind closed doors and why not openly admit these doubts?

"It is a Jekyll and Hyde attitude."

Steven McIntyre, a noted climate skeptic and author of the blog Climate Audit, disputed those vindications vehemently.

"Unfortunately none of the 'inquiries' did even a reasonable job," he told FoxNews.com. "None of them interviewed any of the critics … there were no transcripts. The inquiries made erroneous findings on facts known to thousands."

"In my opinion, the 'inquiries' have actually made matters worse," McIntyre told FoxNews.com.
