WELCOME BACK to the 2 nd day of

WELCOME BACK to the 2 nd day of the LONDON CONFERENCE on CLIMATE CHANGE: Science & Geoethics at Conway Hall September 8 and 9, 2016 Organized by the Independent Committee on Geoethics (ICG) Nils-Axel Mörner, Secretary-General

Welcome to ATTEND – LISTEN – DEBATE and experience “The New Dawn of Truth”

Day-2 program September 9

Commentary Notes A duck or a rabbit but certainly not a rat

We have a dense program today, too We have to work together to keep time that is: The speakers must keep their time The Chair-persons must watch the time The Questions & Comments must be to the point The day ends with a General Discussion where the time-frames are looser and we hope for a good dialogue

This conference is made possible by generous donations In calendar order of donation from: Madhav Khandekar Pamela Klein Philip Foster Christopher Monckton Nicola Scafetta Ed Flaherty Michael Limburg Oliver Manuel Albrecht Glatzle Arve Tunstad Tom Wysmuller Maria Araujo Viv Forbes David Bowen Carmen Smith Peter Gill Peter Ward Ned Nikolov Benjamin Huguet Axel Henning Nils-Axel Mörner Jan-Erik & Gunvor Solheim Trygve Eklund Alex Pope Pierre Bouteille Fraocois Gauchenot Rpbertt Heath Axel Henney Camille Veyers Narendra Limbu Wiliam Bailey Benjamin Huguet Michael Jefferson Peter Kirby Michael Purves Benoit Rittaud Ian Tayler Karl Zeller Justine Darawska John Graham and non-attending persons: Konrad Hartman Andrew Williams John Billot Mark Fowler Caroline Kettle Edward Hurst Alfred Stoller Brett Keane Robert Delnon Richard Dommer Francis Lyon All private persons making personal donations

Down-streamers and mainstreamers follow the main flow which contains a lot of garbage and “dead fishes” Up-streamers go against the main flow, which costs both strength and courage i. e. in science: deep knowledge and vivid vigour It is true that all the papers presented will be given by “up-streamers” (“climate realists”, as we say, and “climate deniers” as Ban Ki Moon says) All speakers give their papers as subject specialists (i. e. with no hidden agenda or organisation behind) At the General Discussions, I call for an open debate with respect of different opinions

So, dear Participants be very welcome to this second day: have fun take part in the discussions and help us to make this conference truly interesting and constructive In the real world there is, indeed, much to discuss and learn* *Michael Jefferson said it in 2010: How much do we really know about climate change? Not as much as we might like. And we should not pretend otherwise.

All these lies, it makes my head spin! An e-mail comment by one of our participants

The mean curve of 102 CO 2 -driven (i. e. AGW) models (green) giving a rise of +2. 7 °C (± 0. 7) by year 2100 and the observational readings of true temperature changes on Earth’s surface (red) and in the troposphere (blue) indicating a temperature below +1 °C by year 2100. Obviously, there is a significant disagreement between Models and Observations. In Science, we always have to prioritized observational facts. At the COP 21 agreement, they prioritized models and ignored observations. Therefore, it is an urgent need to go back to the primary facts: – i. e. “ad fonts”

The Big CO 2 Illusion – in focus today We are gathered to explore if the idea of a CO 2 -driven global warming is real or just another hoax (bluff). The post-industrial and post-war rise in atmospheric CO 2 seem to have: – Little (maybe even negligible) effect on global temperature – No effect at all on sea level changes – Negligible effect on global acidification Therefore, the recent rise in atmospheric CO 2 rather seems beneficial to the Plant Kingdom, and hence to life on Planet Earth. The claim of an urgent need of a transition into “a low carbon Earth” seems exaggerated, unfounded and illusive.
