In the end it may be leaked emails and leaked documents that save the world from "Death by Climate Change Hoax" Today in Copenhagen a document was leaked containing a draft resolution that would hand more power to rich nations, sideline the UN's negotiating role and abandon the Kyoto protocol. In other worlds give the developing nations very little of what they want. Developing countries say the document (see the document below) sets unequal limits on per capita carbon emissions for developed and developing countries in 2050, allowing people in rich countries to emit nearly twice as much as those...

So what about the Climategate fiasco, the Watergate scandal of our age and time? Well, the global warming fraud is simply machine politics on the international level. Mark Steyn has coined the word “tranzi” for the transnational left that runs the UN, the European Union, most European capitals, and both left coasts of the United States. Tranzis are the political machine of our time. The good news is that “anthropogenic global warming” — the most costly and widespread scientific fraud in history — just crumbled to fairy dust. We have emails from some of the biggest malefactors to prove it....

No TV station seems to be covering this live, but you can watch here. Kerry in his introduction says “if there was a cost-free way of tackling climate change, we’d take it, but there isn’t.” There is (at least comparatively) - adaptation - and Kerry, Gore and their ilk have stood in the way of research and implementation of adaptation. Lugar makes this point in a slightly confused fashion (and gives too much credence to the finagled Stern Report), but eventually gets good on the subject of biotech.Gore links global warming, financial crisis and terrorism as all caused by our...

President Bush has been castigated by the environmental lobby for his refusal to participate in the Kyoto Protocol. But what isn’t brought up is that from 2000-2006, the United States “net greenhouse gas emissions fell 3%.” From 1997-2004, our emissions rose 6%. The nations participating in Kyoto? Not so good: …during the last decade the United States has had the best record among industrialized nations in restraining GHG emissions. Between 1997 and 2004, the last year for which comparative data are available: —global GHG emissions increased 18 percent; —emissions from Kyoto Protocol participants increased 21.1 percent; —emissions from non-Kyoto nations...
