"At December's U.N. Global Warming conference in Poznan, Poland, 650 of the world's top climatologists stood up and said man-made global warming is a media generated myth without basis." A very small minority's opinion.

"At December's U.N. Global Warming conference in Poznan, Poland, 650 of the world's top climatologists stood up and said man-made global warming is a media generated myth without basis. Said climatologist Dr. David Gee, Chairman of the International Geological Congress, "For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming?" This may come as surprise to you but the above looks to be a minority report.......yes, there are thousands of climatologists in the world. Do a search.....your minority report didn't make even one major publication. BTW would you consider moving to the Falklands with the Israelis? US To Lead Climate Change Fight 6:39pm UK, Thursday December 11, 2008 Catherine Jacob, Environment correspondent, in Poznan, Poland It has been a long time coming but for the first time, America has promised not only to take a meaningful part in UN climate talks but that it will lead the world in the fight against climate change. Since UN negotiations began more than a decade ago, the US has failed to engage properly, refusing to sign up to the Kyoto Protocol. But Senator John Kerry arrived in Poznan promising big things when President Barack Obama is sworn-in in January. Acting as an emissary for Mr Obama, he told Sky News Online that the new president will meet the world's high expectations when he is inaugurated in January: "I think the fact that the US is going to take genuine efforts to reduce emissions is going to put billions of dollars into the greening of our economy," he said. "That the US is going to step up and engage in genuine, science-based negotiations is a dramatic change and I think that alone will meet a certain level of expectation." The current Bush administration negotiators have refused to consider mandatory emissions cuts. That the US is going to step up and engage in genuine, science-based negotiations is a dramatic change and I think that alone will meet a certain level of expectation. Senator John Kerry. Mr Kerry warned that under Mr Obama, the US would only sign up to mandatory emission cuts, but only if China does too. We're going to do mandatory cuts because we have to, but the only way you'll get a treaty that's passable in the United States Senate is going to be if there is global participation," he said. "We can define different rates and levels but it has to be measurable, reportable and verifiable. And in the end there has to be real action, so no one is left feeling they're doing things but some other country is out there undoing the things they're doing. Whether we get to a final agreement on Copenhagen will depend on everybody's good faith. No one country will carry this." The talks have been overshadowed by the row going on in the EU, which is struggling to sign up to its own climate deal by Friday's deadline in Brussels. The hope is that delegates will at the very least have signed up to a formal agreement that will lead to intense negotiations on a new global emissions reduction deal. news.sky.com
