We’re almost done with my series of reports on the International Conference on Climate Change, which was organized by the Heartland Institute and held in Washington DC earlier this month. I’ve ended up serializing this into a series of reports, and this is the final one in the series; you can find Parts I, II, III, and IV here, here, here, and here. As foreshadowed | Read More »
We’re still rumbling along with the stories that came out of the International Conference on Climate Change, which was organized by the Heartland Institute and held in Washington DC a couple weeks back. Given the volume of material, I’ve ended up serializing this into a series of reports. This is Part IV; you can find Parts I, II, and III here, here, and here. As | Read More »

For those of you who have asked, “The last one was in March – are these quarterly now?”…. the answer is, no. Given the recent effort | Read More »
Due to a scheduling misunderstanding on my part (largely relating to the notion of “lunch” being an extended session) when I made my travel plans, I had to leave the ICCC event last Tuesday before its conclusion (to catch my flight home). Thus, I sadly missed this barn-burner of a closing address by Christopher Monckton. “Great Is Truth, and Mighty Above All Things” It’s a | Read More »
Today was the final (half) day of the 2009 ICCC, followed by flying home; I promised to toss up a few thoughts, which I’ll keep terse and to the point. Once I get caught up on other things (including some sleep), I’ll try to provide some more over-arching thoughts on it all.

Well, Moe and I are sitting in the media room at the ICCC in New York, following the evening’s dinner and opening talks. Moe videoed Vaclav Klaus’ talk, and then left to wrestle with getting the video uploaded for processing. I took extensive notes this evening. The events consisted of opening remarks by Heartland Institute President Joe Bast, main addresses by the President of the | Read More »
