Climate Change: Copenhagen Conference: Alternative views at 'skeptics" meet

Among other luminaries the first day of the alternative research-views assemblage consisting of some 50 scientists, businesspersons, and lobby groups were these:

• Professor Henrik Svensmark, a physicist at the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen

• Professor Nils-Axel Morner, geologist from Stockholm University

• Professor Cliff Ollier, geologist from the University of Western Australia

• Professor Ian Plimer, from the University of Adelaide

The meeting on the eve of the UN Climate Conference of 15,000, was organised by Danish group Climate Sense and the lobby group Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT).

Abraham Kuyper instructed us always to show due respect to the qualified dissenters whenever the academy is monolithic on a given analytic/theoretical problem or recalcitrant societal issue.

Apparently not among the dissenters but certainly a very useful webs+t during the UN Climate annual meeting, this year Dec7-20, Copenhagen is the webs+t, The Green Dectectives. If you have any trouble with technical terms of latterday climatology, there's a great Decoder which is video-supported.

EnviroMedia Cofounders to Participate in United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen, Denmark.

AUSTIN, Texas–More than half of Americans say they’ve never heard of cap and trade. But a new Web site, GreenDetectives.net, launched today to raise awareness of cap and trade and other complex climate change issues in advance of Copenhagen’s historical United Nations climate change conference.

In a few days, negotiators from 192 countries will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark, to work toward a treaty to replace the current global pollution reduction agreement, the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012. The 15th annual Conference of Parties (COP 15) will address global economic and humanitarian challenges, and may set in motion huge changes that affect an uninformed public.

“Between new Pew Center research illustrating low awareness and concern about climate change, and the millions of dollars invested in ‘debunking’ beliefs that it even exists, America has a real problem as we head into COP15 in Copenhagen,” says Valerie Davis, CEO of EnviroMedia, a firm that focuses on authentic green marketing.

EnviroMedia President Kevin Tuerff added, “Valerie and I have spent our careers researching and explaining air, water and waste pollution challenges to consumers. Global climate change is by far the most complex issue we’ve taken on, but we have faith Americans will contribute to the solution if they take time to understand the connection between our everyday lives as consumers, and important issues like cap and trade being discussed in Copenhagen at the United Nations climate change conference.”

I haven't explored deeply enuff, but so far I haven't met blatant cap and trade ideology, or outr+t climate-crisis triumphalists.
