Copenhagen Climate Summit: Global Warming 'Caused by Sun's Radiation'

From The UK's Telegraph:

Global warming is caused by radiation from the sun, according to a leading scientist speaking out at an alternative "sceptics' conference" in Copenhagen.

As the world gathered in the Danish capital for the UN Climate Change Conference, more than 50 scientists, businessmen and lobby groups met to discuss the arguments against man made global warming.

Although the meeting was considerably smaller than the official gathering of 15,000 people meeting down the road, the organisers claimed it could change the course of negotiations.

Professor Henrik Svensmark, a physicist at the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen, said the recent warming period was caused by solar activity.

He said the last time the world experienced such high temperatures, during the medieval warming period, the Sun and the Earth were in a similar cycle.

Professor Nils-Axel Morner, a geologist from Stockholm University, said sea level rise has also been exaggerated by the “climate alarmists” using computer models.

He said observational data from lake sediments, coast lines and trees show sea levels have remained stable.

Professor Cliff Ollier, another geologist from the University of Western Australia, also said the environmental lobby have got it wrong on ice caps. He said the melting of ice sheets is caused by geothermal activity rather than global surface temperatures.

Professor Ian Plimer, from the University of Adelaide, claimed carbon dioxide from volcanoes rather than humans is driving warming as part of a natural process.

The meeting was organised by Danish group Climate Sense and the lobby group Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT).

Craig Rucker, Executive Director of CFACT, admitted the organisation have taken funding from Exxon Mobil in the past but pointed out that many environmental groups are also receiving funding from major corporations.

Graham Capper of Climate Sense said manmade global warming was a myth and scientists who said otherwise were lying. :

"There are people who know they are lying and do it simply for money and others who think they are doing good," he said. "But they not good scientists."

Lord Monckton, a former adviser to Margaret Thatcher, said he was speaking to delegations from the US and Canada about question marks over the science.

He said a recent poll by the Telegraph, that shows only one in two people accept man made climate change, show people are questioning the consensus being pushed by the UN summit.

“As anybody knows who follows the opinion polls in Britain and Australia and the US, in the last few weeks and months there has been a rapid collapse in the global warming chimera so while we still have our freedom, let us speak out.”

Leaked Agreement Rocks Copenhagen Climate Conference

More Cloak And Dagger Drama From Copenhagen Climate Conference...

Leaked agreement rocks Copenhagen- ABC NEWS Australia

The Copenhagen climate talks have been rocked by the leak of a draft final agreement which weakens the role of the United Nations in climate change negotiations and abandons the Kyoto Protocol.

The "Danish text" draft agreement, published by the UK's Guardian newspaper, has been described as a dangerous document for developing countries.

Over the past week, parts of Denmark's proposal have leaked into the public domain, but this is the first time it has been published in its entirety.

According to the Guardian, the secret agreement has been worked on by a group of individuals known as the 'circle of commitment'.

It is understood to include Australia, the US, the UK and Denmark, which are all said to have finalised the deal in the past two days.

The document abandons the Kyoto Protocol, sidelines the United Nations in future climate change negotiations, and hands most of the power to rich countries.

The Kyoto Protocol relied on the principle that rich nations - responsible for the bulk of emissions - can and should be compelled to take on the biggest burden when it comes to cutting those emissions.

Under Kyoto, poorer nations were not required to act at all.

The leaked agreement not only brings the developing world into the frame, it allows rich countries to emit twice as much carbon as poor countries.

Rick Warren Remains Silent While US Leaders Denounce Ugandan Anti-Gay Issue

WASHINGTON (ABP) -- Christian leaders in the United States with diverse viewpoints on homosexuality are joining forces to protest a Ugandan proposal to punish homosexual behavior with imprisonment or even death.

Catholic, evangelical and mainline Protestant leaders including Ronald Sider, president of Evangelicals for Social Action; Jim Wallis of Sojourners; and author and speaker Brian McLaren endorsed a Dec. 7 statement denouncing the Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2009, currently before Uganda's Parliament.

"This bill is an affront to human dignity and offensive to Christians around the world who take seriously Christ's command to love our neighbors as ourselves," said Thomas Melady, a former U.S. ambassador to Uganda and the Vatican and one of the statement's signatories.

Baptists signing the statement included David Gushee, a professor of Christian ethics at Mercer University who also writes a regular column for Associated Baptist Press; Melissa Rogers, director of Wake Forest University Divinity School's Center for Religion and Public Affairs; and Derrick Harkins, senior pastor at Nineteenth Street Baptist Church in Washington.

Climategate Emails Reveal Lies and Deception

Some of the leaked emails included details of Freedom of Information requests he had submitted.

After receiving Mr Holland's request, a message sent on May 28, 2008 from one academic to another said: 'Oh MAN! Will this crap never end?'

Mr Holland, a grandfather from Northampton who graduated with a degree in electrical engineering from London University in 1966, has complained to the Information Commissioner's Office.

He said: 'It's like David versus Goliath. Thanks to these leaked emails a lot of little people can begin to make some impact on this monolithic entity that is the climate change lobby.'

The row - dubbed Climategate - was triggered when a hacker stole hundreds of emails sent and received by Prof Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit.
Global warming sceptics seized on the emails as proof that climate scientists are holding back information, manipulating figures and blocking opposition.

Even environmentalists say they reveal a culture of complacency and arrogance.
In one dated last month, a top American climatologist admitted it was a 'travesty' that scientists could not account for the lack of global warming in recent years.
In another, British researchers dismissed the work of scientists challenging the global warming orthodoxy as 'crap'.

In one of the most damning Prof Jones appeared to respond to news of the death of climate sceptic John Daly with the words 'in an odd way this is cheering news!'

Editor's note: John Daly died from a sudden heart attack after a radio show interview.

No matter how long you live on this planet, the shock of sudden death never seems to lose its potency. One moment someone is a vital presence that you are inclined to take for granted, the next they are gone. Daly was the epitome of a new phenomenon of the post-scientific age, a lone scholar with all the traditions of meticulous attention to detail and truth that the word implies, with limited means upholding the principles of the scientific method in the face of adversaries with vast resources. He usually won, but the establishment media ensured that the world never got to hear of it. He was the eternal small boy gleefully pointing out that the emperor had no clothes.

WND Banned From Copenhagan Climate Conference

From WorldNet Daily


It's official!

The United Nations banned the news agency most critical of "man-made catastrophic climate" hysteria from coverage of the Copenhagen convention billed as a major leap forward for global governance.

That new agency is my own, of course – WND.

You might think the banning of a news agency, any news agency, would evoke some coverage from colleagues.

Yet, to date, not one story about the censorship has appeared on Fox News, CNN, the New York Times, the Associated Press, ABC, NBC, CBS or any other major news outlet.

I shouldn't be surprised.

With few exceptions, the major press has not yet covered to any measurable degree the biggest development since Al Gore invented "global warming." (By the way, unlike the Internet, he really did invent "global warming" – to his everlasting shame, except in Nobel Prize circles.)

I refer, of course, to what has come to be known as "Climategate" – e-mails from pseudo-scientists at East Anglia University that reveal an effort to spin and even change real temperature data to fit the theory and obscure the facts.

The e-mails were a new discovery, but the lying and manipulation of data is hardly a recent occurrence. It goes back 10 years.

Now, of course, the pseudo-scientists can't even hide the data. Since global temperatures have actually been falling for several years running, there is little talk about "global warming" any longer. Now the alarmists talk only of "climate change."

Well, here's a bulletin for the Copenhagen crowd: Climates do change. They have always changed. Climate change has nothing to do with man's activity on the planet. Climates have been changing for thousands of years – long before the Industrial Revolution, the internal combustion engine, the harnessing of electricity, oil-powered energy plants and before the invention of the "carbon footprint."

Climate change? Sure – it happens four times a year. Get the bumper sticker that expresses your opinion about science hoax

Last week I received a call from a top United Nations media officer who assured me there was no effort at denying media from the convention because of skepticism about climate change. He said some 5,000 news organizations were accredited for coverage. But when the excuses we got for denial of access are based on provably false allegations about our news organization's structure lifted verbatim from Wikipedia and mention loaded words like "advocacy," it's clear what's going on here.

WND was hindered from exercising its free-press rights by a powerful global political organization that is actively fanning the flames of "climate change" fear-mongering.

Uganda’s Anti-Gay Issue: Rick Warren’s Silence Is Consent

From Christian Research Network:

Rick Warren’s Dissertation Advisor Leads Network Promoting Uganda Anti-Gay Bill by Bruce Wilson & the New Apostolic Reformation Research Group

In 2008 Rick Warren declared that, following Rwanda, Uganda was the world’s second official “Purpose Driven” nation. Uganda is currently in the news because of a bill before the Ugandan legislature that would establish the death penalty for homosexual acts and, critics charge, might even require the execution of HIV-positive Ugandan citizens.

Some observers have wondered if Purpose Driven Life author and mega-evangelist Rick Warren has had a role in the globally controversial bill, especially because of Warren’s close association with Ugandan anti-gay activist Martin Ssempa and, more broadly, because Warren has refused to denounce the anti-gay bill. To little notice, a charismatic network overseen by Warren’s doctoral dissertation advisor, C. Peter Wagner, has played a major role in politically organizing and inspiring the Ugandan legislators who have spearheaded the anti-gay bill.

Both Wagner and Warren have designed elaborate infrastructures for blurring the lines between church and state. Wagner describes his movement as the “New Apostolic Reformation” and openly espouses his goals of reorganizing and mobilizing the church to take Christian “dominion” over government and society. Warren’s movement is described as a “second reformation” in the form of his P.E.A.C.E. plan, but his goals of rapid “expansion of the kingdom” in Uganda and elsewhere closely parallel those of Wagner’s.

Why the EPA Did an End-Run on Climate Change

By Heather Horn on December 08, 2009

On Monday, the Environmental Protection Agency declared greenhouse gases a danger to human health, giving the agency power to cut emissions without Congressional approval. The move sends a bold signal before Obama's trip to Copenhagen, frustrating conservatives and business leaders. What is the strategy behind the announcement, and will it work?

Why They Did It
Because It's What the EPA Is There For Progressives at Think Progress Brad Johnson and Matthew Yglesias say that this is about the EPA "recognizing" and "meeting its legal obligations" to restrict threats to the environment under the Clean Air Act.

Because It Will Force a Cap-and-Trade Bill Liberal Mother Jones blogger Kevin Drum outlines the carrot-and-stick proposition: "the longer that congressional Republican dawdle and obstruct, the more likely it is that the EPA will end up doing something by default. So here's some advice for corporate America: if you don't like this, then get off your asses and start pressuring your friends in the GOP to support a cap-and-trade bill that would preempt the EPA and put in place more predictable rules."

Because It Will Help at Copenhagen The Washington Independent's Aaron Wiener acknowledges the EPA's traditional role as a prod to Congress, but says that "the timing of today's announcement suggests another motivation." Namely, "international climate talks in Copenhagen kicked off this morning, and in the absence of a domestic climate bill, the EPA move gives American negotiators evidence of U.S. action on climate change as they seek commitments from other nations around the world." The New Republic's Bradford Plumer concurs.

Climategate - The Fix Is In

By Robert Tracinski

In early October, I covered a breaking story about evidence of corruption in the basic temperature records maintained by key scientific advocates of the theory of man-made global warming. Global warming "skeptics" had unearthed evidence that scientists at the Hadley Climatic Research Unit at Britain's University of East Anglia had cherry-picked data to manufacture a "hockey stick" graph showing a dramatic-but illusory-runaway warming trend in the late 20th century.

But now newer and much broader evidence has emerged that looks like it will break that scandal wide open. Pundits have already named it "Climategate."

A hacker-or possibly a disillusioned insider-has gathered thousands of e-mails and data from the CRU and made them available on the Web. Officials at the CRU have verified the breach of their system and acknowledged that the e-mails appear to be genuine.

Yes, this is a theft of data-but the purpose of the theft was to blow the whistle on a much bigger, more brazen crime. The CRU has already called in the police to investigate the hacker. But now someone needs to call in the cops to investigate the CRU.

Australian journalist Andrew Bolt has a good overview of the story, with a selection of incriminating e-mails that have already been discovered in the hacked data. Note that these e-mails reveal more than just what it going on at the CRU, since they involve numerous leading British and American climate scientists outside of the CRU.

These e-mails show, among many other things, private admissions of doubt or scientific weakness in the global warming theory. In acknowledging that global temperatures have actually declined for the past decade, one scientist asks, "where the heck is global warming?... The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't." They still can't account for it; see a new article in Der Spiegel: "Climatologists Baffled by Global Warming Time-Out." I don't know where these people got their scientific education, but where I come from, if your theory can't predict or explain the observed facts, it's wrong.

More seriously, in one e-mail, a prominent global warming alarmist admits to using a statistical "trick" to "hide the decline" in temperatures. Anthony Watts provides an explanation of this case in technical detail; the "trick" consists of selectively mixing two different kinds of data-temperature "proxies" from tree rings and actual thermometer measurements-in a way designed to produce a graph of global temperatures that ends the way the global warming establishment wants it to: with an upward "hockey stick" slope.

Confirming the earlier scandal about cherry-picked data, the e-mails show CRU scientists conspiring to evade legal requests, under the Freedom of Information Act, for their underlying data. It's a basic rule of science that you don't just get to report your results and ask other people to take you on faith. You also have to report your data and your specific method of analysis, so that others can check it and, yes, even criticize it. Yet that is precisely what the CRU scientists have refused.

Global Warming Tied To Global Government?

Reposted from December 3, 2008:

The Wall Street Journal has an article by Ralph Nader and Toby Heaps which declares:

We Need a Global Carbon TaxThe cap-and-trade approach won't stop global warming

The headline and article presupposes that climate change can be controlled by reducing greenhouse gases of industrialized nations . Is there a hidden agenda behind regulating carbon emissions?Dr. Michael Coffman of Sovereignty International and Discerning Today says absolutely. The organization who stopped the onerous Convention on Biological Diversity an hour before the U.S. Senate was scheduled to vote on it – has just produced a professional DVD in which dozens of scientists, experts and politicians tell the other side of the global warming story. Called Global Warming or Global Governance?, this powerful DVD is the skeptics answer to sharing hard facts with those who believe mankind is causing global warming with his CO2 belching SUVs and factories. After viewing this DVD, most believers of man-caused warming will either reject the fraud, or began to seriously question it.

Soon a global government can be established. Such an organization of nations can create, control and redistribute the world's wealth via a global carbon tax. Of course an executive officer would have to be appointed as the leader of the One World government...

Gore cancels Copenhagen Climate Conference trip

Al Gore Cancels $1,200 Per Handshake Event In Copenhagen -The Wall Street Journal

Copenhagen and Melbourne: World Religion

Contact: UndergroundNews.us, 608-469-7956

MADISON, Wisc., Dec. 7 /Christian Newswire/ --Interfaith meetings continue at a great rate all over the world. Many religious leaders will descend at the UN Copenhagen Climate Conference this week. Plus, the Parliament of the World Religions is occurring at the same time in Melbourne, Australia.

The underlying desire of government leaders at the Copenhagen conference is to form a world government. A treaty will most likely not be signed at this current conference, however, Christians need to wake-up to the fact that eventually this could happen.

Despite questionable climate change research, religious leaders are using the Copenhagen meeting to further their cause of promoting an eventual world religion to go along with a world government.

...Also, this week, the Parliament of the World Religions conference will happen at Melbourne, Australia. Speakers will include former President Jimmy Carter, the Dalai Lama, and Dr. Joel Hunter.

Jimmy Carter is no stranger to interfaith meetings as he has promoted many false religious leaders over the course of his life. The Dalai Lama promotes reincarnation and other false Buddhist teachings as he is a popular religious figure.

Dr. Joel Hunter is pastor of the Northland Church in Orlando and is on the board of the National Association of Evangelicals. He is a member of the President's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, advising President Obama on policy issues.

The Parliament of the World's Religions is sending a 60-meter-long scroll inscribed with thousands of messages of support to the UN Copenhagen Climate Conference.

Christian leaders who promote interfaith goals without telling people that Jesus Christ is the only way to God are doing a disservice to the body of Christ.

Rick Warren spoke at the July 4th Islamic Society of North America's annual convention in Washington, D.C. this past summer. During his message, he did not mention that Jesus Christ is the only way to God. He claims that he is reaching Muslims with the gospel. Where are the Muslim converts to Christianity through his ministry?

By this simple omission, people are deceived into thinking that all religions reach the same God, which is clearly false according to the Bible. According to John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.'"

Climate Change Treaty A Precursor To Global Government?

By Chuck Baldwin

Writing for World Net Daily, Dr. Jerome Corsi states, "A former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher says the real purpose of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen on Dec. 7-18 is to use global warming hype as a pretext to lay the foundation for a one-world government."

Corsi quotes Lord Christopher Monckton as telling a Minnesota Free Market Institute audience at Bethel University in St. Paul, "Your president will sign it. Most of the Third World countries will sign it, because they think they're going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regimes from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won't sign it."

Corsi quotes Monckton as also saying, "I read that treaty and what it says is this: that a world government is going to be created. The word 'government' actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity."

...My research of the Climate Change document that Monckton references found the following: it is a 181-page working document that does not mention the words "ballot," "elected official," or "vote" anywhere in it. In my opinion, Lord Monckton did not exaggerate; if anything, he may have understated the situation. The document does indeed appear to be the institutional framework for an unelected supreme communist-style world government.

By signing this document, the United States (and other industrial nations) will forever take responsibility for the ills of backwards and third world countries. And, according to Lord Monckton, this would include China and India, along with the countries of Africa.

Religious Groups Active in Climate Debate

By Brian Winter, USA TODAY

COPENHAGEN — Sunday started like any other day for Sister Joan Brown — with a period of prayer and meditation just before dawn at her home in Albuquerque.

Then, instead of going to Mass, the Franciscan sister boarded a plane to Copenhagen. When she arrives Monday, she'll join 20,000 other attendees at a United Nations summit on climate change, where she hopes to persuade leaders including President Obama to reach a worldwide agreement to cut pollution levels.

"Many people can't afford to make this trip," says Brown, who is using frequent flier miles and staying with a Danish family to cut costs. "But all our voices are needed, and this is one small way I can speak to the greatest moral and spiritual issue of our time."

The Climate Change Religion

By Cliff Connelly, WorldNet Daily

The fervor of the climate-change cataclysm crowd is often rightfully compared with religiosity. As the late Michael Crichton observed, radical environmentalism's tenets run parallel with foundational Judeo-Christian traditions: "There's an initial Eden, a paradise, a state of grace and unity with nature, there's a fall from grace into a state of pollution as a result of eating from the tree of knowledge, and as a result of our actions there is a judgment day coming for us all." In other words, we have poisoned pristine Earth through technological advance and will ultimately be punished by Mother Nature (rather than Father God) for our brazen selfishness.

Another climate change skeptic, Australian geologist Ian Plimer, recently made direct comparisons between the global warming faithful and "fundamentalist" creationists, "who, when challenged, become quite vicious and irrational." This statement gave me pause, because although I largely agree with Plimer's (and Crichton's) skepticism of warming "science" and its religious undercurrents, I see little evidence today of Christians becoming "vicious and irrational" about anything – including creation – despite being the targets of a never-ceasing onslaught from the secular establishment in the media, judiciary and academia.

See what's driving climate change and who is taking advantage of the situation.
