U.N. Blackballs International Scientists from Climate Change Conference
The Heartland Institute ^ | December 4, 2007 | Tom Swiss

(CHICAGO, Illinois - December 5, 2007) -- The United Nations has rejected all attempts by a group of dissenting scientists seeking to present information at the climate change conference taking place in Bali, Indonesia.

The International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC) has been denied the opportunity to present at panel discussions, side events, and exhibits; its members were denied press credentials. The group consists of distinguished scientists from Africa, Australia, India, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

The scientists, citing pivotal evidence on climate change published in peer-reviewed journals, have expressed their opposition to the UN's alarmist theory of anthropogenic global warming. As the debate on man-made global warming has been heating up, the UN has tried to freeze out the scientists and new evidence, summarily dismissing them with the claim "the science is settled."

James M. Taylor, senior fellow for The Heartland Institute explained, "It is not surprising the UN has completely rejected dissenting voices. They have been doing this for years. The censorship of scientists is necessary to promote their political agenda. After the science reversed on the alarmist crowd, they claimed 'the debate is over' to serve their wealth redistribution agenda."

Taylor continued, "For example, ICSC scientist Dr. Vincent Gray recently published Unsound Science by the IPCC, which proves the main claims by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are scientifically unsound. Dr. Gray is an expert reviewer for the IPCC and has submitted more than 1,800 comments on IPCC reports. He is an expert on the IPCC methodology and published Spinning the Climate.

"Dr. Gray is the last person the politicized UN wants speaking," Taylor noted. "He single-handedly debunks the entire alarmist theory. And there are more than 600 Dr. Grays trying to be the voice of reason and science. All are being censored."

Tayor said, "The ICSC scientists don't agree with the pre-determined 'Bali Mandate,' so instead of discussion and debate, we get censorship. Until the UN rejects the politicization of climate change, their reports, protocols, and mandates aren't worth reading--much less ratifying."

The ICSC scientists will be available for advice and counsel in Bali, but they expect scientists to be ignored at the Bali conference.

Are you serious? Ban Ki-Moon has flown to Antarctica to promote more “climate change” bloviation and has declared GW to be his #1 priority. He is a disaster already.

I’m sure nobody at the UN cares about this:

Scientific fraud, incompetence, and dishonesty go so nicely with everything else at the UN..... corruption, depravity, anti-Semitism, cuddling up to the world’s worst tyrants, and so much more!!

a relaxation of a plasmoid train which excited the Jovian magnetosphere

What he said.

And I think we ought to fuel up a private jet and send Gore there immediately to get it all straightened out - he can be the savior of the solar system = maybe the whole galaxy - maybe the Universe.

I think we should be sure he gets that chance = just get him outta here

Did they reject the report, or did they just not allow their plane to come? Ngurah Rai International Airport already was over capacity for private jets which forced them to have some of the jets park at other airports in Indonesia. Maybe our environmental superiors should have jetpooled.

There is a very simple answer to enlarge the group of the UN’s “allowable” scientific organizations at meetings like this - Withhold the US payments to the UN.

Every penny that goes from the US to the UN’s coffers should have to be voted on by Congress. In fact, all money from the US to the UN should be on an al a carte basis - We dole out the money for any and all UN tasks and organizations after each one has been approved by congress.

A first stage atmosphere generation on the Moon, where a growing natrium atmosphere is detected that reaches 9,000 km in height.

Uhm, isn't "natrium" Latin for sodium, which is a metal? This metal atmosphere is 90 times as deep as Earth's, AND it's just beginning to form?

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around an atmosphere of metal. Sulphuric acid rain (Venus) was hard enough, thanks. This new "information" is just a bit hard to swallow.

Unless this is some other planet's moon, but even then I'd have expected news like this would be front and centre everywhere.

Come on, since the U.N. wants us to all bow down to them, wouldn’t you be disappointed if your God could not a least pretend to control the weather.

Nails it right there.

Absolutely perfect summation of the whole "global warming" hoax.
It's all about the money. It's ALWAYS about the money.

I sat back looked at the chosen location...Bali. Its a rather unusual place to have a conference of this sort. The “real” tourists who normally go there? Two bombings in recent history (2002, 2005)...have impacted tourism to some degree. The big crowd of Australians that used to go...somewhat down. The Europeans...still mostly in force. A fair-sized portion of the visitors to the island...are there for the sex trade...either women, transsexuals, or underage girls. The gov’t there admits that prostitution is absolutely illegal...but they aren’t discouraging anyone from the trade. There are at least 3,000 on the island who have AIDs...and in October...there was a massive government effort to train the hookers on the use of condoms. This effort was likely tied to the fact that well over 10,000 delegates were destined to arrive on the island...along with at least 2,000 media-players from across the globe.

Why would the big guys in the UN select Bali? You can take a guess why. Various UN-provided credit cards will be utilized for services during the stay...and everyone will note the services as “in-room” entertainment.

“This new “information” is just a bit hard to swallow.”

Understood. my point is if it’s a choice between this fledgling theory or cow farts that are effecting Venus....
well, I know which one I’ll go with.

I think the term is called “soapy massage”.

“I’d have expected news like this would be front and centre everywhere.”

NASA is about as mainstream as you can get.

“As our solar system evolves, the amount of planets that are habitable is possibly increasing.”

Well, of course they did. They didn’t want those scientists to be pharting in church.
