Cancun: Global Hysteria, Wealth Redistribution
Written by	Alex Newman
Thousands of climate dignitaries representing almost every national government on Earth flew to Cancun, Mexico, for the great event. Security precautions were extensive: Battleships could be seen from the beach while thousands of soldiers and police lined the jam-packed roads. It was time for the 16th "Conference of the Parties," or COP16 for short. The annual summit, which was held this year from November 29 through December 10, is an extravaganza of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or UNFCCC. The previous year's COP15 in Copenhagen was massive — over 50,000 attendees in all, not counting protesters. It was well publicized, too. But after the spectacular failure of COP15 to deliver a binding climate treaty, and with little hope of securing one this time, expectations for COP16 were purposefully set low.
Were the "Climategate" Inquiries Whitewashed?
Written by	Rebecca Terrell
The New American has raised the ire of Britain's University of East Anglia (UEA) with an article that briefly recalled the Climategate scandal of November 2009, in which hundreds of hacked e-mails from the school's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) brought accusations of conspiracy and fraud against scientists there. The story is still making headlines more than one year later because the scientists involved are high-profile contributors to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an organization many skeptics believe was created exclusively to provide evidence of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) and usher in carbon-restricting climate policies.
EPA Pushes Further Regulations
Written by	James Heiser
If Washington, .D.C. was supposed to "get the message" after the November elections, it would appear that the memo never made it to the desk of EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson.
Mother Nature to Alarmists: Chill Out!
Written by	William F. Jasper
Mother Nature has not been helpful to global warming alarmists of late. The record cold wave she unleashed across much of planet during the recent United Nations climate change conference (known by the unwieldy bureaucratic acronym UNFCCC-COP16/CMP6 — really) extended even to the fabled, usually warm-and-sunny beaches of Cancun, Mexico, as we previously reported (Record Cold at Cancun Climate Confab).
"Cow Burp" Researchers Have a Beef With Government Waste Report
Written by	Michael Tennant
Scientists conducting research at taxpayers' expense are, says ABC News, "outraged" over the fact that Sen. Tom Coburn's Wastebook 2010 characterized their work as a study of "cow burps." The Oklahoma Republican's report on wasteful federal spending described the $700,000 Department of Agriculture-sponsored project as a study of "greenhouse gas emission from organic dairies, which are cause [sic] by cow burps, among other things." It quoted the principal researcher of the project from a newspaper report: "Cows emit most of their methane through belching, only a small fraction from flatulence."
Severe Weather in Europe Stalls Travelers, Baffles Environmentalists
It's going to be a white Christmas at London's Heathrow Airport, with record low temperatures and snowfall canceling and delaying hundreds of flights. BAA Airports, Ltd., which operates Heathrow, announced on Tuesday, December 21 that it will function at one-third capacity until Thursday morning. With more adverse weather in the forecast, it is doubtful the airport will return to full service even then. Heathrow's website asks travelers not to come to the airport unless they have confirmed in advance that their flights are still scheduled.
Automakers Sue EPA Over E15 Fuel Blend
A coalition of automakers is suing President Obama's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hoping to overturn that agency's decision to allow the sale of E15, a blend of 15 percent ethanol added to gasoline, for cars and light trucks manufactured since 2007. The Engine Products Group (EPG) filed suit on Monday with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Government Sues BP
The U.S. Justice Department is suing nine companies including BP for billions of dollars in damages related to the Gulf of Mexico oil leak. Attorney General Eric Holder announced the lawsuit seeks civil penalties under the Clean Water Act. It also contends eight of the nine defendants should be liable without limitation for all removal costs and damages under the Oil Pollution Act.
WikiLeaks Climate Revelations Spark Fury, Gloating
After a series of secret U.S. cables released by WikiLeaks exposed American and European officials plotting bribery, blackmail, threats, and even espionage to advance their "climate" agenda, the reaction to the revelations around the world has been enormous.
Cancun Climate Protesters Throw Feces, Destroy Property
Global-warming protesters in Cancun for the United Nations COP16 climate summit poured human feces in the streets, threw eggs at police, attacked American fast-food establishments, and generally went on a rampage demanding "action" and "climate justice," among other things.
Skeptics Have Their Say at COP16, Press Refuses to Report
Amidst prayers to ancient Mayan goddesses, dire predictions of climate catastrophe, and alarmist proposals to ban everything from children to kerosene lamps, a few eminently qualified "skeptics" of the United Nations' global-warming alarmism held a press conference at the summit in Cancun to share their views.
