Paris 2015

The Paris climate summit is a gigantic photo op - where ineffectual political leaders will pretend to be environmental superheroes.

(includes details of my Dec. 2 talk in Paris)

Strip away the pseudoscience and you'll find one thing: politics. People attempting, via international treaties, to constrain human lives. For the sake of Mother Gaia.

Millions of children perish each year, but world leaders think a problem that's unlikely to become worrisome for decades is the world's most pressing concern.

French weatherman Philippe Verdier is a free speech hero, a heretic whose livelihood has been stolen by the intolerant Church of Climate Change.

A polar explorer is falsely described as a climate scientist in a news story; his activist connections aren't reported.

December's climate conference is being held on the grounds of Europe's busiest private jet airport. If we were serious about fighting climate change, wouldn't private jets have been banned long ago?

Government official urges television weather presenters to use loaded language to help the climate cause. When one writes a critical book instead, he's suspended from his job at a government-owned station.

A sitting UK Supreme Court judge took part in a Rio+20 event that said the UN (a political body) should be given more scope & authority.

For 15 years, we've been scolded and cajoled. As the December climate summit approaches, global warming rhetoric has grown seriously threadbare.

A UN official delivers a speech. An account of that speech is written up to look like a news story. It gets published on a website funded by the UN. Casual readers are unlikely to appreciate that this is 100% spin.
