Skeptics to Gather in New York Again

A highlight of my year so far is the climate change conference in New York in March. It was a gathering of more than 500 skeptics, including many scientists, to discuss global warming.
I was enthralled by a presentation from Stan Goldenberg from NOAA which included photographs taken inside the eye of hurricanes from flights within NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters – WP-3D Turbo Prop Aircraft.
Now there are plans to hold a second conference on March 8-10, 2009, once again in New York City.
According to the press release:
The 2009 International Conference on Climate Change will serve as a platform for scientists and policy analysts from around the world who question the theory of man-made climate change. This year’s theme, ‘Global Warming Crisis: Cancelled’, calls attention to new research findings that contradict the conclusions of the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report.
Hosting the conference for the second consecutive year will be The Heartland Institute, a 24-year-old national nonpartisan think tank based in Chicago. “All of the event’s expenses are being covered by individual and foundation donors to Heartland,” said Dan Miller, executive vice president of the institute. “No corporate dollars earmarked for the event were solicited or accepted.”
“Last March we proved that the skeptics in the debate over global warming constitute the center or mainstream of the scientific community, while the alarmists are on the fringe,” said Heartland President Joseph Bast. “In the past six months, the science has grown even more convincing that global warming is not a crisis. Opinion polls and political events, including the defeat of ‘cap-and-trade’ legislation in the U.S. Senate, also suggest this ‘crisis’ is over. It has been cancelled by sound science and common sense.”

Jennifer,
your arguments are sound but the MSM holds you ( you- meaning the reasoning, rational, factual side of climate reasearch) within a closed fortress so you must adapt a way to get your message out to Mr and Mrs average on the street.
How I don’t know, perhaps run a factual quizz and present the winner with a suitable prize(s) at the end of the conference, but you must work out a way of getting more publicity for all your hard work.
An interesting and crucial point Neville; who amongst the Aussie msm can Jennifer use as a media conduit?
Most of all Andrew Bolt; also Tim Blair; also Michael Duffy.
Neville & Cohenite, If you could send me an email (to sceptic1@live.com.au ) with your phone numbers on there is something that you may be very interested to discuss.
Santer Method Applied Since Jan 2001:
Average trend based on 38 IPPC AR4 models rejected. see lucias blackboard and climate audit. Arctic rapidly on way to normal or beyond, Antarctica normal world temps continue to fall see amsu satellite data up to 24/10/08
Conference looks good, but why did they not invite more European climate realists such as Henrik Svensmark and Piers Corbyn??
Ian; did you get the details?
