Via press release:
It’s official! The 12th International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC-12) will take place on March 23-24 in Washington, DC. Attached is a flyer I hope you will read and forward to friends and foes alike.
The election of Donald Trump as president of the United States already is having a profound effect on U.S. climate policy. ICCC-12 is your opportunity to meet the scientists, economists, engineers, and policy experts who persuaded Trump that man-made global warming is not a crisis, and therefore Barack Obama’s war on fossil fuels must be ended.
ICCC-12 will take place on Thursday and Friday, March 23–24 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Washington, DC. It will feature the courageous men and women who spoke the truth about climate change during the height of the global warming scare. Now, many of them are advising the new administration or joining it in senior positions.
ICCC-12 is hosted by The Heartland Institute, “the world’s most prominent think tank supporting skepticism toward man-made climate change” (The Economist). Since 2008, more than 4,000 people have attended one or more ICCCs.
This year’s ICCC focuses less on the science than previous meetings because climate realists have established beyond reasonable doubt that the human impact on climate is likely to be very small and beneficial rather than harmful. Realists have proven that most scientists now share this opinion, except those who have made careers out of finding a human impact and exaggerating it.
The election of Donald Trump and Republican majorities in the U.S. House and Senate and in state capitals around the country is proof that most American voters, most Republican elected officials, and the president himself do not believe man-made global warming is a crisis.
The task ahead is not to rehash the science yet again, hoping to win over those who will never admit to having been wrong about it. The task now is to explain the benefits of ending Obama’s war on fossil fuels and what policy changes are needed to do this. ICCC-12 will feature in-depth, expert discussions about the economics of energy policy and the benefits and costs of fossil fuels.
The full program and speakers will be announced and posted online in the coming weeks. There will be five plenary sessions and 12 panel presentations featuring some 30 speakers presenting the latest science and economics on climate change and energy policy.
“The purpose of this conference is to introduce members of the Trump administration and newly elected members of Congress and their staff to leading scientists and economists who hold a data-based, non-alarmist view of the climate,” said Joseph Bast, president of The Heartland Institute. “It’s time to reset U.S. climate and energy policy away from the alarmism and fake science that dominated policymaking during the Obama era, and plot a new course based on real scientific data and economic analysis. The American people deserve a huge ‘peace dividend’ that can be brought about by ending the unnecessary and futile war on fossil fuels.”
This will be the 12th ICCC hosted by The Heartland Institute since 2008. Other ICCCs have taken place in New York (ICCC-1 and 2), Chicago (ICCC-4 and 7); Washington, DC (ICCC-3, 6, and 10); Las Vegas (ICCC-9); Sydney Australia (ICCC-5); and in the German cities of Munich (ICCC-8) and Essen (ICCC-11). Nearly 4,000 people have attended at least one ICCC. See video and information about the programs and speakers at past events at the archive page for the International Conference on Climate Change.
Space is very limited, so reserve your conference pass and hotel room now. Admission, which includes five meals, is $179. To register, or to learn more about ICCC-12, visit http://climateconferences.heartland.org/iccc-12/ or call 312/377-4000.

– They can’t believe at all !
Fine ! Highly readable, compressed, convincing. Thanks – Hans
The science is weak; the arguments are heavy!!

OK !!
“There has to happen something other nothing happens!”

Will anyone be speaking on the abject failure of wind farm policies across the U.S. and Europe resulting from the false information presented to the world by the global warming zealots ? Someone should enlighten the world on this incredibly failed exercise in terms of the ridiculously high capital cost to the nations and the huge damage to the visual amenity of our beautiful countryside, in return for such an abysmal return in terms of its power output. This should be laid bare for all to see. Hopefully, the new administration will have the cancellation of new wind farm programmes well in their sites, or has an Executive Order already been signed?
Is it a scientific conference, or a right wing political rally? It’s a bit hard to tell from the nature of the posts.
Gareth – Your comment appears disingenuous – the comments on this thread do not characterize the conference papers.
If you really wanted to be objective, a simple search would have located the programs for all ten prior conferences. See http://climateconferences.heartland.org/
Some of the papers are political and some are scientific. This is to be expected, because the science of global warming has been deeply and widely corrupted by false warmist propaganda – that is politics, and it must be addressed.
Fact:
When anyone says “the (climate) science is settled” in favour of the warmist narrative, they are knowingly or unknowingly stating a falsehood.
There is much to be learned about climate science, but it is increasingly probable that the catastrophic manmade global warming hypothesis is false. There is no real global warming crisis.
Where’s Griff? I miss the twerp already.
Still hoping for some hi-lat warming…
on the agenda?
1) The downstream effect of Obama’s recent 200,000,000 endowment to the UN for Green initiatives and,
2) Trump’s inevitable freezing of funds to the UN because of many anti-American interest initiatives and,
3) Trump’s silencing of the EPA and,
4) Trump & Congress’ inevitable reduction of funding to the EPA and,
5) The rebuttal to the inevitable planetary protests from the green blob wrt the above 4 items.
6) Investigation and litigation of fraudulent use of public funds for academic work connecting “climate change” or “global warming” to everything. Anyone have a list to forward to the attorney general?
(I thing “Nature Tricking” qualifies of abuse of science so where did the money for that effort come from?)
