John McCain, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton all promise bold action on climate change . All have endorsed a form of cap-and-trade system that would severely limit future carbon emissions. The Democratic Congress is champing at the bit to act. So too is the Climate Action Partnership, a coalition of companies led by General Electric and Duke Energ

You know the end of the world is near when the Wall Street Journal quotes someone from a Propeller comment and calls them a "writer."

100 % of all evidence ever put forth in support of Man caused global warming, has been shot down by science time and time again.
Right now there is no real world evidence of Man caused global warming. And there never has been. The computer models have never been able to forecast real world climate change, EVER.
If this was science, debate would be welcome. Religious dogma forbids debate. And only allows blind obedient faith.
This is a religion, period! Always has been!

  "100 % of all evidence ever put forth in support of Man caused global warming, has been shot down by science "
  That is so funny, it's almost sad
  I work in a climate change Organisation in Australia, so don't need to rely on Al Gore or blog sites for my information and your comment is utter fiction.

  On the story in the Wall Street Journal pretty weak story they reference the Heartland Institute and do at least mention that they have issues with funding from oil companies But then suggest that real scientists will be attending the New York climate conference. They are Patrick Michaels and Willie Soon both well known to any who follow GW as 'A' grade members of anti GW movement with proven links to oil companies.
  After reading about this conference about a week ago I emailed colleagues in France, England Russia and the U.S. and surprise they had never head of it.

    1.) The media has not reported it. They had to buy full page ads in NYT to get out the word.
    2.) It is a global warming skeptics conference, since they are not invited to GW conferences and are roundly derided when they disagree.
    3.) The question is what is the best thing to do about man caused GW and not to jump headlong into the PC popular thing to do.
    4.) As far as I know, oil companies are not in this. Money for conference is from varied private sources. If an oil spokesman wants to talk that's OK. Anti-oil peaple talk at other conferences all the time.
    5.) If you are a climate scientist you ought to know there are facts that contradict long term global warming and there are also many unknowns in the world's climate dynamics. A true scientist knows there's no such thing as a sure thing. Much of what has caused GW in the past has been due to variable solar emissions, volcanism, earth's orbital eccentricities and other natural activities.

      I first joined propeller because of the rubbish I saw being posted about GW (from both sides) My aim here is to try and post factual info without BS.
      Things like U.N. plots and secret agendas are just complete crap one step from UFO theories
      Or sad attempts to label GW a religion when it is based on good science from many different fields Glaciologists, Cosmic ray physics, oceanographers, Climatologists and Geologists.
      Yes science is all about picking at any theory be it e=mc2 or evolution this is the nature of science which means there are always radical theories floating about most are wrong some are right and are incorporated into the theory. The denier movement take these theories, call them proved science and push them forward on the public, an example of this is the increase in solar activity theory, the scientist who first put it forward has said it was a mistake but it is still one of many different theories that contradict each other.

        Good, glad to hear mate. There's rubbish on both sides and there's a lot of theory, not fact. What I hate is the statement that "the debate is over" and a questioner is a "denier". Sound science will hold up in the long run. Refusing to hear contrary opinion won't help and is counterproductive. I assume man caused component of global warming will cause disastrous results for N. Europe and low lying cities. Not where I live though. Drought and heat is endemic here and we're at 2200 ft. I will replace my 1997 Saturn with the latest affordable technology when it conks out. I limit driving to about 5000 miles/yr. I recycle and limit my heat & power use. What are others doing? (not much). The big problem is China and India. How will you get China to stop the furious rate of coal fired power plants being built with no end in sight. And I still say overpopulation is the main problem. What will be done about that? Your evolution/e=mc2 comp is shoddy. --Cheers

No surprise that the WSJ is denying climate change due to business activities.

One writer puts climate change skeptics "in a similar moral category to Holocaust denial," another envisions "war crimes trials" for the deniers. And during the tour for his film "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore himself belittled "global warming deniers" as unworthy of any attention.
