I’m about to leave for ICCC4, which is predictably being billed as “denialpalooza” by our friends in alarmist world. Heh. Maybe smearapalooza might be a good label for their response.
This year, the conference is in Chicago, and it appears to be the biggest yet. I’ll try to have some on the scene reports posted when I can, but I’ve got a pretty full schedule.
I have a couple of posts set for auto insertion on schedule today, so my readers won’t be without new and interesting stories. New stories and moderation may be spotty the next 4 days. Volunteer moderators and guest authors, please help when you can.
I’ll be having dinner tonight with some very special people.
I hope that the restaurant won’t be so noisy that I’ll miss hearing most of the conversation. I look forward to seeing many friends there and at the conference.
I should note that Willis Eschenbach has been invited to make a presentation. Good for him! Steve McIntyre will be giving a keynote address, and Lucia and Jeff Id will be joining as guest bloggers, which is easy for them since they both live within driving distance of the conference.
Here’s a list of speakers, including yours truly. Here’s the program (PDF) Roger L. Simon at Pajamas Media also has a short summary.
A number of people with opposing views, including Gavin Schmidt, James Hansen, Michael Mann, Phil Jones and William Schlesinger, were invited to the ICCC4 conference. They all declined.
PJTV is providing an important service. Live video coverage (streaming and otherwise) will be at the PJTV CLIMATEGATE 2010 MICROSITE. I thank them for doing this.
Oh, and I want to sincerely thank Evan Jones, he’ll know why.

RE: Amino Acids in Meteorites: (May 16, 2010 at 7:02 pm) “It is also possible that the taxation may be ‘taxation without representation’.”
At the very least, if the ‘Hockey Stick’ is not valid then we have ‘taxation without justification.’ Except for the scale involved, I am sure many will say this is nothing new. We may also have ‘taxation without re-election.’
Rick Werme:
The graph I found on montana.edu on the Milankovitch cycles supports your comment re the last ice age being a geologically current event relative to where we are with respect to precession, axial tilt and orbital eccentricity within the Milankovitch cycles. My best wishes to Mr. Carter.
