I have sat by for a number of years frustrated at the rubbish being put forth about carbon dioxide [CO²] emissions, thermal coal fired power stations and renewable energy, and the ridiculous yet farcical emissions trading scheme. Frustration at the lies told [particularly during the election] about global pollution.

The US's most Republican state passes bill disputing science of climate change, claiming emissions are 'essentially harmless'

Carbon dioxide is "essentially harmless" to human beings and good for plants. So now will you stop worrying about global warming?

Utah's House of Representatives apparently has at least. Officially the most Republican state in America, its political masters have adopted a resolution condemning "climate alarmists", and disputing any scientific basis for global warming.

Climategate ; The Biggest Scandal to Ever Hit The Scientific World ; Yes ! 2009 Goes out with a roar as some of us start to realise the full implications we now face . Thousands of politicians starting to realise that they have been sucked into the biggest scam the world has ever seen . Politicians who have believed the false evidence put to them by a small number of influential scientists . Scientists who have sucked millions of dollars out of the public purse, to safeguard their positions of trust within the research and educational systems of the world .

The 34 New Zealand bureaucrats, advisers and government ministers who attended the failed United Nations conference on climate change in Copenhagen in December generated a lot of hot air – and ran up an estimated $685,000 bill for taxpayers.

Figures obtained by the Sunday Star-Times under the Official Information Act show that sending the Kiwi delegation to the two-week conference cost taxpayers an average $20,147 for each person, including airfares, hotel accommodation and meals.

Dear Editor,

Thank you very much for printing my letter on the Global Warming fraud. I would be grateful for a chance to respond to some of your correspondents arguments about my claims.

Data for vital 'hockey stick graph' has gone missing
There has been no global warming since 1995
Warming periods have happened before - but NOT due to man-made changes
The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information.
Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers.

The United Nations climate panel faces a new challenge with scientists casting doubt on its claim that global temperatures are rising inexorably because of human pollution.

In its last assessment the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said the evidence that the world was warming was “unequivocal”.

When the honeymoon is over will John Key be considered N.Z.s worst prime minster?

His ETS scam  passed through Parliament at great haste by bribing  the minor Maori  Party (55000 votes 2008 election).

He did this using crown land  and tax payer money- the irony of which is so he could charge these same tax payers more tax.

China's most senior climate change official surprised a summit in India when he questioned whether global warming is caused by carbon gas emissions and said Beijing is keeping an "open mind".

Xie Zhenhua was speaking at a summit between the developing world's most powerful countries, India, Brazil, South Africa and China, which is now the largest emitter of carbon dioxide, the gas believed to be responsible for climate change.
The four countries have joined forces to intensify pressure on the United States and Europe to fulfil promises to cut their emissions and give more than $10 billion (£6.2 billion) to those countries worst affected by climate change by the end of this year.
Environment ministers from the four countries voiced their frustration at the US for failing to lead the way with carbon emission reductions despite being responsible for much of the emissions most scientists believe to be the cause of global warming.
But Mr Xie, China's vice-chairman of national development and reforms commission, later said although mainstream scientific opinion blames emissions from industrial development for climate change, China is not convinced.

The Meteorological Office is blocking public scrutiny of the central
role played by its top climate scientist in a highly controversial
report by the beleaguered United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change.

Professor John Mitchell, the Met Office's Director of Climate Science,
shared responsibility for the most worrying headline in the 2007 Nobel
Prize-winning IPCC report - that the Earth is now hotter than at any
time in the past 1,300 years.

And he approved the inclusion in the report of the famous 'hockey stick'
graph, showing centuries of level or declining temperatures until a
steep 20th Century rise.
