Quadrant Online - Emission Reduction for Dummies

Kevin Rudd has called climate change the greatest moral challenge of our time, and he has made no apology for that. Tony Abbott is more succinct, he calls it “crap”. But both men are firmly committed to reducing Australia’s greenhouse emissions in order to tackle climate change.
...
Rajendra Pachuari, the jet setting cricket enthusiast, steel tycoon and chairman of the IPCC, despite having a personal carbon footprint equal to that of New South Wales, is actually having less effect on the climate than the average Aussie. His greenhouse emissions are counted as part of the Indian total, and thus average out to be only one twentieth that of an Australian.

Last year, Rudd’s greatest moral challenge required a 25% reduction by 2020, and 60% by 2050, but the polls haven’t been so good lately. The revised answer to the greatest moral challenge is a 5% cut in emissions by 2020.

The Rosett Report » UN Eco-Commissars on Bali – Again

The UN Environment Program, which is based in Nairobi, is convening a set of meetings this week – not in Nairobi, or New York, but at the same Bali beach resort (and convention center) where they sacrificed all that time for the greater good in 2007. Never mind the UN’s continuing campaign — in the face of its crumbling “climate science” — to restrict and control carbon emissions. Yet again, we are asked to believe the UN deserves special exemptions from its own preachings. Its conferees are jetting to Bali for the greater good of all the little folk, whose job is merely to pay the bills for such pleasures, and live with any resulting rationing and regulation. According to the Jakarta Post, some 1,500 people from 192 countries are expected to attend this shindig — where UNEP claims that envoys of some 140 governments will be present. The pre-session events (the UN goes in for a lot of those on Bali) have already begun.

There’s lots here that bears watching, but I’ll round this off with a note that at this plush pow-wow the UN’s propaganda engines will be roaring full steam ahead. On Feb. 22-23, this Monday and Tuesday, UNEP will put together a media workshop, on “Reporting Green — The Environment as News.” What fun for the media! A two-day workshop on Bali, by the beach. Will this workshop be teaching the media how to ask hardball questions about things like IPCC findings, UNEP conflicts of interest, or, for that matter, repeat UN mega-eco-conferences on Bali? I’d say, don’t hold your breath.

Legal Elephant now In the climate room but Mainstream Media absent | CLIMATEGATE

...Such lawsuits will succeed because the data has been destroyed and the defendants in the action, without proof, cannot mount a vigorous defense. Once this scam is busted in the civil U.S. courts, the global warming game is over. International governments will give up the ghost on pursuing junk science based cap-and-trade socialist agendas. The scientists at the hub of this fraud will become sacrificial lambs to a baying public that will demand that heads must roll. I would not want to be in Phil Jones’s, Michael Mann’s, Fred Pearce’s or the Guardian’s green sandals when that day dawns.
