On Monday, October 26th, the Cooler Heads Coalition hosted Dr. Richard S. Lindzen, the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  Proposing their own version of “cap and trade” climate legislation, Sens. John Kerry (D-MA) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) have put forth a draft of the new “pollution reduction bill.” Kerry stressed that the bill is about security. Boxer was interviewed by C-SPAN about her insight of how protecting consumers from energy cost increases will reduce emissions. Dr. Lindzen disputes some of the claims made by global warming alarmists, presents real climate facts, and questions the purpose of the bill.

BOYCOTT the companies pushing cap-and-trade.

UPDATE: Reader’s Digest Responds to Boycott, Removes it’s Name as Supporter of Copenhagen Climate Treaty
Minneapolis - Reader’s Digest has responded to a boycott by having its name removed from a list of corporate supporters of the Copenhagen Climate Treaty.

Mr. William Adler, Vice President of Global Communications at Reader’s Digest sent an email to the No Cap-and-Trade Coalition asking that Reader’s Digest be removed from a list of 20 organizations that are being boycotted due to their support of the Copenhagen Treaty.  Mr. Adler stated that Reader’s Digest had been incorrectly listed as a supporter of the Copenhagen Treaty at .  A review of the website confirmed that Reader’s Digest’s name had been removed as a ”friend of Hopenhagen.”

“Smart organizations like Reader’s Digest are starting to realize that lending their brand to radical environmental movements is bad for business,” said Jeff Davis, organizer of the No Cap-and-Trade Coalition.  “We hope other organizations named in the boycott wake-up and recognize this fact as well.” There are a total of 19 remaining organizations targeted by the boycott, including Google, Pepsi, Nike and BP America.  The complete list of boycotted companies can be seen here.

The science and economics of global warming are not too complicated for the average person to consider and make up his or her own mind. We urge you to do that. Go here and view some of the articles linked under “What’s New” or “A Primer on Global Warming.” Or go here and read about the new report from the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), which comprehensively rebuts the claims of the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Skeptics Handbook II! Global Bullies Want Your Money
By Joanne Nova

Finally, Part II in the Skeptics Handbook series - the bluster and bluff, the deceit, and the money.  Enjoy & Share.

It’s unthinkable. Big Government has spent $79 billion on the climate industry, 3000 times more than Big Oil. Leading climate scientists won’t debate in public and won’t provide their data. What do they hide? When faced with freedom-of-information requests they say they’ve “lost” the original global temperature records. Thousands of scientists are rising in protest against the scare campaign. Meanwhile $126 billion turned over in carbon markets in 2008and bankers get set to make billions. See the handbook here.
