It’s been proven over and over and over and over and over (infinity) again that it’s just not happening.  Yes we’re still dumping millions of dollars towards research.

How do I start getting research grants showing that wearing yellow makes a child smarter?  I can make up bogus studies too… just like the alarmists did.  Lord have mercy, make it stop already.

 

Lord Monckton discussed some of the deliberately misleading myths about climate change that are propagated by warming alarmists, listing them as:

“Global warming is happening now” – it’s actually cooling.

“Global warming is getting worse” – it’s actually getting better.

“Arctic sea ice is disappearing” – in fact, there is no discernable trend in winter sea ice area over the last 30 years.

“Antarctic sea ice is disappearing” – in fact, the area of sea-ice around Antarctica reached a 30 year record high in 2007.

“The Great Barrier Reef is being damaged by global warming” – in fact, there is no trend in the sea surface temperature of the reef over the last 40 years.

“Hurricanes are being made worse by global warming” – rather, the accumulated cyclone energy index recorded its lowest value in the last 30 years in Oct. 2008.

Lord Monckton also commented on recent opinion polls that show a strong swing of public opinion away from climate alarmism: “Every opinion poll shows that public opinion is cooling as fast as the climate itself”, he said.

Lord Monckton concluded with some comments that will serve well as an epitaph for the entire Heartland-2 climate conference. “There was no climate crisis, there is no climate crisis and there will be no climate crisis”, he said. “The correct solution to global warming is to have the courage to do nothing”.

A strong vote of thanks is due to the Heartland Institute, and to its CEO, Joe Bast, for having again convened an outstanding conference at which rational discussions of the science, economics and policy of climate change were presented and discussed in a dignified and disinterested way. All participants in the conference must surely have left New York with a lightened heart, knowing that independent scientific approaches are at last starting to lay waste to the scourge of public climate alarmism.
