Paris Climate Talks To Draw 50,000 Green Bureaucrats & Campaigners
Paris Climate Talks To Draw 50,000 Green Bureaucrats & Campaigners
http://www.thegwpf.org/paris-climate-talks-to-draw-50000-green-bureaucrats-campaigners/
As many as 50,000 people are likely to attend the December 2015 talks in Paris aimed at forging a UN pact on climate change, host France said today. Roughly half this number will be official delegates, and the remainder will be support staff or observers.
“Between 40,000 and 50,000 people from 195 countries are expected,” Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told reporters at the site in Le Bourget, just north of the French capital, where the talks will be held.
Roughly half this number will be official delegates, and the remainder will be support staff or observers, he said.
The talks, under the banner of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), will run from November 30 to December 11, 2015.
The biggest official turnout at climate talks was at the ill-fated 2009 summit in Copenhagen, which drew about 26,600 delegates.
Taking effect from 2020, the Paris agreement must curb heat-trapping carbon emissions that are damaging Earth’s fragile climate, amplifying risks from drought, flood, storms and rising seas.
Efforts to secure a deal are intensifying in the run-up to Paris, with a special summit of heads of state and government, called by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, to be held in New York on September 23.
This year’s annual round of negotiations in Lima, Peru, in December must yield a draft agreement upon which to build towards Paris.

…Meet NASA’s New ‘James Hansen’ – Gavin Schmidt – the man who hates debate & loses when he does debate – He has been criticized by prominent scientists for ‘erroneously communicating the reality of the how climate system is actually behaving’
Climate Depot Round Up of NASA”s New Lead Global Warming Scientist
NASA’s new lead global warming scientist, Gavin Schmidt, has history of belittling skeptical scientists, suppressing debate, condoning making climate data “impenetrable” and many of his scientific claims and his website RealClimate.org, have been harshly criticized by scientists from around the world.
Schmidt replaces NASA’s James Hansen as Director of its Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS). Hansen retired in early 2013. See: NASA’s Lead Global Warming Scientist: Humans responsible for ’80 to 120% of the warming’ – Joe Romm gushes: ‘Meet Dr. Gavin Schmidt, NASA’s Replacement For James Hansen’ – Schmidt ‘was GISS deputy director, has a doctorate in applied mathematics, is ‘an expert in climate modeling.’
Hansen made a career out of smearing skeptics and getting arrested to draw attention to his opposition to the Keystone Pipeline. (For more on Hansen, see here, here, and here.:
Climate Depot has been following Gavin Schmidt’s career for years and presents the below round up of his climate change foibles.
Gavin Schmidt’s history:
NASA’s Gavin Schmidt promotes hiding data!? I would simply put the whole CRU database (in an as-impenetrable-as-possible form’ – Warmist AGU gave a $25,000 award to Gavin Schmidt being the ‘best climate communicator in the world’
Physicist Dr. Motl rips Schmidt: ‘So if you want to be the best climate science communicator in the world, you have to release the data in an as-impenetrable-as-possible form. ;-)’
Israeli Astrophysicist Nir Shaviv has also been critical. “The aim of [Schmidt’s] RealClimate.org is not to engage a sincere scientific debate. Their aim is to post a reply full of a straw man so their supporters can claim that your point ‘has been refuted by real scientists at RealClimate.org,’” Shaviv’s website reported. Shaviv, who calls the website “Wishfulclimate.org,” noted that the “writers (at RealClimaet.org) try again and again to concoct what appears to be deep critiques against skeptic arguments, but end up doing a very shallow job. All in the name of saving the world. How gallant of them.”

…Beetles & forest fires convinced Hillary of AGW: ‘A 2005 Senate trip to Canada opened Hillary Clinton’s eyes to the dangers of climate change & inspired her to push for aggressive actions to fight it’
The autobiography, Clinton’s second, comes just days after President Barack Obama unveiled aggressive new climate-change measures aimed at U.S. coal-fired electricity.
It describes how she and the boss barged into a secret meeting at the 2009 Copenhagen climate-change conference involving emissaries from China, India, Brazil and South Africa.
After exchanging a mischievous look, the pair marched right in, past frantic Chinese officials. Obama shouted, “Mr. Premier!” to get the attention of Wen Jiabao and other stunned leaders sitting in the room.
That tense encounter helped break the old Kyoto accord divisions, where only developed economies had agreed to curb emissions, she writes.
In that same chapter, Clinton echoes an argument made this week by Prime Minister Stephen Harper: countries are generally unwilling to sacrifice prosperity to attain climate goals. She describes the process as herding cats.
But she warns against casting the environment and the economy as an either-or choice, citing the expansion of natural gas in the U.S. as one example of how greenhouse gases can shrink and the economy can grow at the same time.
“When the economy is hurting and people are looking for jobs, many other concerns fade into the background,” Clinton writes. “And the old false choice between promoting the economy and protecting the environment surfaces once again.”…
