Climate Change Junket Experiences Sudden Warming In Cancun: Photos
THE climate change junket is heading to…Cancun. Phew! What climate change activist from the UK or Denmark cannot but be impressed at how much their immediate climate has altered. One day it’s freezing cold. Then, a few hours later, it’s baking hot. We blame jet fuel.
Yvo de Boer, former head of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, has news: for the boiling delegates:
De Boer said climate negotiators in Cancun should focus on “small steps” toward slowing climate change, warning that if there is another failure such as took place in Copenhagen last year, ”no one will take us seriously anymore.”
Meanwhile, back in the UK, it’s winter and Gaia is weeping white tears to reflect the sun’s merciless rays:

Climate Change Scientists Say Pacific Islands Growing Not Drowning
THE islands in the Pacific are sinking. They will drown. So goes the climate change mantra. Oxfam warned:
More than 75 million people living on Pacific islands will have to relocate by 2050 because of the effects of climate change…
Al Gore told movie goers in An Inconvenient Truth:
That’s why the citizens of these Pacific nations have all had to evacuate to New Zealand

Polar Bears All Die As Black Bear Gets Shot From Tree
POLAR Bear Watch: Well, keep watching because those polies are all giong to die. The BBC condemns them (seals rejoice!):
Climate change will trigger a dramatic and sudden decline in the number of polar bears, a new study has concluded.
The research is the first to directly model how changing climate will affect polar bear reproduction and survival.
Based on what is known of polar bear physiology, behaviour and ecology, it predicts pregnancy rates will fall and fewer bears will survive fasting during longer ice-free seasons.
These changes will happen suddenly as bears pass a ‘tipping point’.
We predict a rapid return to a media focus on shagging panda bears. The pandas used to have it all their own way before the polies came… Meanwhile, over in a tree, black bear is doing his bit for his kind:

In France The Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change Is A ‘Mafia-Like System’
IN Franc, there is a big heated debate on cliamte change. A new book called L’imposture climatique (The Climate Fraud) is selling well. Very well:
France’s National Academy of Sciences will hold an official debate on climate change to try to defuse this newly explosive issue.
The Academy of Sciences debate, expected to be held by October of this year, follows two months of heated debate on radio and television, during which France’s two most prominent sceptics, Claude Allegre and Vincent Courtillot [a member of the GWPF’s Academic Advisory Council], have sown great doubt in the minds of a once unskeptical French public. Allegre’s new book, L’imposture climatique (The Climate Fraud), has especially caused the French public to reconsider the conventional wisdom about global warming. In this runaway best-seller (110,000 copies sold to date), Allegre, France’s most celebrated scientist and a former Science Minister in a socialist government, calls the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a “mafia-like system” that promotes a “baseless myth” about climate change.
In an attempt to stop the erosion of their public support, some 410 establishment scientists petitioned the current science minster, asking her to rebuke the skeptics and to express confidence in the climate research community. Her response was to turn to France’s National Academy with a request for a debate on the subject. The Academy’s president, Jean Salençon, readily agreed in the hopes that an airing of the issues would calm some of the fury on the subject.
At least the debate will be open and honest. Unlike in the UK…
Global Warring: Warming Leads To More Murders
GLOBAL warming will not make us chilled. Hell, no. Global warming will make us heat up and boil with rage. As Tim Blair says, this is why the old retire to Florida. They are looking to rumble. Iowa State researchers know the facts:
If global warming is a scientific fact, then you better be prepared for the earth to become a more violent place. That’s because new Iowa State University research shows that as the earth’s average temperature rises, so too does human “heat” in the form of violent tendencies …

Ed Miliband Opens Climate Change And Glee Club As Nursery Adverts Banned
ED Miliband is an expert on energy because on his name badge it says “energy secretary”. It’s a big important title, boys and girls – you Klimate Kops. So listen carefully while Ed tells you that the world is melting and drowning.
And this is Mr Ed , who has already told us:
“The government needs to be saying, ‘It is socially unacceptable to be against wind turbines in your area – like not wearing your seatbelt or driving past a zebra crossing’.”
Now for a song in Ed’s Glee Club – putting the Band In Miliband:
“Rub a dub dub, three men in a tub — a necessary course of action due to flash flooding caused by climate change.”
God that, kidzzz? You are going to drown. Only, you’re not – yet. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) says Ed and his fellow teachers have been exaggerating the potential harm. There is no science to back up their teachings.

Glaciergate: The Resignation Of Rajendra Pachauri BBC Bias
GLACIERGATE, the latest climate change story the BBC isn’t talking about (see how the CRU story was sat on), is pretty bad news for Rajendra Pachauri, frequent flying chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Richard North brings us the latest:
“You can’t say it’s careless science … it’s one mistake,” says Pachauri, referring to the use of the WWF “grey” reference (i.e., not peer-reviewed) to support the contention that Himalayan glaciers would melt away by 2035.

Cold News: Cooling Cycle Is Not Deadly Weather, It’s Killer Climate
IT’S Cold. And cold is front-page news:
“As Cold As South Pole” – Mail
“It’s even colder than in your freezer” – Mirror
“Deep-Freeze BRITAIN” – Telegraph
“ICE LAND” – Indepdendent
So cold is it that people are dying from the freeze. Richard North looks at the news coverage:
THE death toll from Britain’s biggest freeze for decades reached 22 today, reports The Times – and this is before we see what is slated to be the coldest night so far.
That, however, only takes into account the immediate, observable deaths associated with accidents and other incidents. But, as the BBC admits, cold is a silent killer.

Mayhem World Over As Cold Weather Hits Global Warming Hard
SO cold is it that the papers and news media all lead with the weather. Sky News screms (and this is “breaking news”): “Snow, Ice And Sleet Causes Travel Mayhem.” The Daily Star‘s front page says it’s “-18”. The Mail‘s says “-12”. And Richard North looks at the world view, as told by the serious newspapers:
LET The Times do the talking for once. “Arctic freeze and snow wreak havoc across the planet,” it reports.
“Arctic air and record snow falls gripped the northern hemisphere yesterday, inflicting hardship and havoc from China, across Russia to Western Europe and over the US plains,” it tells us.
“There were few precedents for the global sweep of extreme cold and ice that killed dozens in India, paralysed life in Beijing and threatened the Florida orange crop. Chicagoans sheltered from a potentially killer freeze, Paris endured sunny Siberian cold, Italy dug itself out of snowdrifts and Poland counted at least 13 deaths in record low temperatures of about minus 25C (-13F).”

Climate Change and Greener Power Policy Means Millions Freeze
DOES global warming – or at least the Government’s half-cocked approach to greener energies – contribute to fuel poverty? Is global warming making you cold? Richard North reads the Inepdent’s headline – “Poll reveals more than 7m households are in fuel poverty” – and takes a look behind it.
CHARACTERISTIC of the many subjects reported by the media these days is the fundamental dishonesty with which they are treated. To add to the EU, climate change and sundry other issues, we can now also add “fuel poverty”.

Global Warming Creates Giant Turkeys: George Monbiot Rejoice
PANIC merchant George Monbiot has news that any change in “global temperature reduces the range of places that can sustain human life.” Before we get to the good news, Monbiot has more facts:
During the last ice age, humans were confined to low latitudes. The difference in the average global temperature between now and then was 4 degrees. Global warming will have the opposite effect, driving people into higher latitudes, principally as water supplies diminish. Food production at high latitudes must rise as quickly as it falls elsewhere, but this is unlikely to happen.
Is it?
Tasmanian butchers say they are facing the nightmare of irate customers and financial losses thanks to over-sized turkeys. The state’s turkey supplier Nichols says its Christmas birds are up to 2kg heavier than expected this year thanks mostly to a cooler growing season.
Home cooks who ordered a 3kg turkey for Christmas Day are likely to find themselves battling to get a bird that will fit in the oven.
Panic over…

Climate Change Hero Fidel Castro Complains Of Police Brutality In Copenhagen
IN Copenhagen, the climate change protest is joined by that master of human freedom fidel Castro. After Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Robert Mugabe and Sudan’s Nazis, here’s Fidel – he ofd the “dictatorial style of government and ruthless suppression of opposition”. Fidel makes a perfect Al Gorean:
The Danish police are resorting to brutal methods to crush resistance; many protesters are being preventively arrested. I spoke on the phone with our Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, who was at a solidarity rally in Copenhagen with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales, Cuban Vice-President Estenban Lazo and other ALBA representatives. I asked him who those people were that the Danish police suppressed with such hate, twisting back their arms and beating them repeatedly across the back.
Vive La Revolution! Send for the Climate Kops!

Copenhagen Issues Climate Gate Art Works to Prostitutes
SCULPTOR Jens Galschioet has highlighted the end of the world being nigh by hanging flashing red lights seven metres up in trees and on lamp posts in Copenhagen.
For the prostitutes? No. this is to show one and all how high the waters will get when Greenland’s ice melts. Architect Ole Oerslev works it out:
“Technically and pedagogically it is a sound idea. The problem is that they are hanging at incorrect heights by the city lakes, where they currently sit at 11,34 metres.”
The lakes of Copenhagen are 5,89 metres above sea level. A quick calculation and the lights should be placed 69 centimetres above the ground.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Versus The BBC’s Justin Webb
CLIMATE Change heated debate in Copenhagen: Arnold Schwarzenegger Versus The BBC’s Justin Webb. Says Arnie:
“I believe technology and economic focus will overtake the political and regulatory efforts of national governments. We’re beginning on a historic, great transformation, a new economic foundation for the 21st century and beyond.
“The world’s governments alone can’t make progress, the kind of progress needed on global climate change. They need everyone coming together, working together, they need the cities, the states, the provinces and the regions.
“They need the corporations, the activists, the scientists and the universities, the individuals whose vision and determination create movement.”
On the BBC Radio 4, Justin Webb has interviewed Sir David King, King want a weather man on the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee. Webb says the scinces is not settled. He mentions the CRU emails.

Bryan Walsh sums it up for Time readers:
The queue snaking outside the convention center was savagely long, stretching as far as one could see, but I figured I’d spend an hour, two at most, out here in the bitter Danish cold.
I nearly froze my toes off …

Tabloids Attack The Case For Man-Made Global Warming
CLIMATE change is all the rage. The anti-global warming argument has reached the tabloid press. Climate change is not only ascare stoy – it’s a hockey stick to beat the politcal elite. Richard North looks at the headlines:
NEVER mind the quality – feel the width. The Daily Express today offers another front page, attacking Mann-made global warming, following on from its earlier front page at the beginning of this month.
Although the source is the European Foundation – hardly a credible scientific authority – the headline speaks loudest, declaring: “100 reason why global warming is natural.” The fact that the paper was prepared to put it on its front page speaks for itself.

In Pictures: Riots, Blair, Al Gore And Cricket Mad Rajendra K. Pachaur In Climate Crazy Copenhagen
THOSE climate talks in Copenhagen are getting heated. Scientists of the calibre of Helena Christensen and Danish actor Thure Lindhardt are at the demo against climate change. Climate Gate denier Al Gore talks at the “Greenland Ice Sheet” chat. Meanwhile, the Chairman of the UN Climate Panel, Nobel prize winner, Rajendra K. Pachaur speaks to youth organizations during the COP15 at the Bella Centre. Right on. Over:
So strong is his love for cricket that his colleagues recall the time the Nobel winner took a break during a seminar in New York and flew in to Delhi over the weekend to attend a practice session for a match before flying back. Again, he flew in for a day, just to play that match.
Enjoy the photos from the summit, delivered via the lo-carbon internet. And look out for Tony Blair. Look out!
