The Global Warming Challenge

2008 International Conference on Climate Change

Posted in kesten green by climatebet on February 27th, 2008

Kesten Green is giving a talk titled “Scientific Forecasting of Climate Change” at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change, which is being held in New York City Marriott Marquis Times Square hotel from March 2 to 4. Sponsored by the Heartland Institute.

Global Warming: Crisis or Scam?

The debate over whether human activity is responsible for some or all of the modern warming, and then what to do if our presence on Earth is indeed affecting the global climate, has enormous consequences for everyone in virtually all parts of the globe. Proposals to drive down human greenhouse gas emissions by raising energy costs or imposing draconian caps could dramatically affect the quality of life of people in developed countries, and, due to globalization, the lives of people in less-developed countries too.

The global warming debate that the public and policymakers usually see is one-sided, dominated by government scientists and government organizations agenda-driven to find data that suggest a human impact on climate and to call for immediate government action, if only to fund their own continued research, but often to achieve political agendas entirely unrelated to the science of climate change. There is another side, but in recent years it has been denied a platform from which to speak.

The 2008 International Conference on Climate Change promises to be an exciting event and the point of departure for future conferences, publications, and educational campaigns to present both sides of this important topic.

    Is there somewhere on here that points out step by step the premises and conclusions of the Inconvenient truth and states why the incorrect ones are wrong? I just see one side claiming one thing and the other side claiming the other while no real comparison can be made on the subject by laypeople. What I would like to see is the above step by step disproving of the “I.T.” using scientific explanation as to why the claim is false. i.e. the statement that such and such amount of ice has melted off the poalr ice caps is simply wrong we measured it and there is such and such amount of ice still there which disproves there claim. Because when two sides of an argument state factually that a claim is one way or another than one of them is either lying or wrong. Please help me out here.

    If you read nothing else, there is an excellent paper about 1/3 of the way down on the front page, titled “Editorial: The Great Global Warming Hoax?” by James A. Peden.
