Page 1 of 5 I spent the second day of the Heartland Institute's International Climate Change Conference
listening to presentations in the climatology track. This means that I
missed all of the presentations on paleoclimatology, the politics of
climate change, the economics of climate change, and the impacts of
climate change, not to mention the four different documentaries
questioning climate change alarmism.
News flash: Climate skeptics
don't agree among themselves about what, if anything, is going on with
the world's climate. Occasionally there was something of a camp-meeting
atmosphere among participants. It is clear that some feel victimized by
those who are promoting the idea that man-made global warming is a big
problem requiring immediate action. In any case, the climate skeptics
began their day early with well-attended breakfast presentations
starting at 7:00 a.m. One of the breakfast presenters was University of
Guelph environmental economist Ross McKitrick. McKitrick and
statistician Stephen McIntyre are the duo that pointed out the flaws
in the famous "hockey stick" reconstruction of historical climate data
by climatologist Michael Mann. The "hockey stick" purported to show
that the 20th century was the warmest century in 1,000 years. The
International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) featured it as evidence
for climate change prominently in its Third Assessment Report.
