Skeptics to host alternative climate meeting in Paris

[Geee]

Washington Examiner:

The United Nations isn't the only group hosting a climate change conference in Paris next week.

 

An ensemble of scientists called the International Climate Science Coalition is holding its own event to challenge the climate "consensus."

 

The purpose of the meeting, scheduled for Dec. 1-3, is to assert to world that the climate change debate is not settled, even as many scientists today contend greenhouse gases emitted from the burning of manmade fossil fuels are driving climate change. On the conference website, a list of 10 questions are posed to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change and its supporters, asking them to produce "observational evidence" on manmade climate change-related issues including sea level rise, glacier retreat and increased severity in hurricanes and other extreme weather events.

 

Tom Harris, the executive director of ICSC, said the questions were previously issued as a challenge in 2009 as the U.N. held a climate conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.

NOAA’s climate change science fiction

 

Lamar Smith

 

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the nation’s leading collector of climate data. Every day, NOAA analyzes vast amounts of data to predict changes to our climate, weather, oceans and coasts. The agency also publishes monthly temperature averages across the nation and compares those numbers to historical temperature records.

 

As the nation’s self-proclaimed authority on “environmental intelligence,” NOAA should be held to the highest scientific standards. This means their conclusions should be objective, independent of political consideration and based on all available sources of information.
