The temptation, then, is to dismiss the whole thing as a ridiculous circus. Many of the participants do not really need to be here. And far from "saving the world," the world's leaders have already agreed that this conference will not produce any kind of binding deal, merely an interim statement of intent.
Besides, the UN admitted that the Climategate scandal required further investigation of falsified data. Wrapped up in the fraud are Britain's Climate Research Unit, Penn State and NASA GODDARD. Many will question the legitimacy of all weather data now that we have seen 89% of weather stations in the US don't even comply with our standards. So while we will be over loaded with reports of how desperate the planet is now, there will be protests and opposing scientific views that I plan to share with you. Some of the coldest air in a year is settling in across the nation. This after record snow fell on Houston last wee, followed by the season's first snow in the eastern US. This pattern of cold and wet or snowy weather accompanying a major Global Warming event has become known as The Gore Effect.
This personal commentary comes after a long and arduous attempt to share some of the news on Climategate prior deception on Global Warming. It appears as if in the wake of scandal and fraud exposed at the top of the Climate Change food chain in November, the wool is still being pulled over many eyes. The displays are impressive, but also use the same energy that we are suppose to feel guilty about having at our disposal.
