---------- Forwarded message ---------- Every minute counts – It is 1:19 am in Bali, Indonesia. There are only a few hours left in these historic climate negotiations but Canada is blocking an emerging agreement. We can't let it happen. We need to call the Prime Minister's Office before 6pm EST – the sooner the better. The problem: The talks here are stalled. In an ad-hoc working group of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, only one country is holding out against citing the 25-40% reductions (from 1990 levels) in greenhouse gases that industrialized countries need to make before 2020. That country is Canada. They are preventing inclusion of the targets that the science demands for the survival of the planet. They are watering down this potentially historic pact. How we solve it: The situation is critical, and it's literally a matter of hours. The Bali agreement could be a step towards stopping dangerous climate change. But if Canada prevents strong targets from being included in the negotiations, we'll have few concrete results from the work we have been agonizing over for two weeks. Help us get Canada to stop blocking the talks! If we can put enough pressure on the Canadian Government Delegation here in Bali, they may just change their behaviour. They cannot get away with their tactics if they know their citizens are paying attention. Call. It will make a real difference. It will make real action on climate change a priority for this government. We can turn the tide in Bali. What you do: If you can afford it, call the direct cell phone of the Prime Minister's representative here in Bali. His name is Dimitri Soudas, and you can reach him on 011 62 85 857 032 037. He needs to hear what Canadians really think. Or, if the long distances charges are a bit much, call the Prime Minister's Office at 613 992 4211, and ask to be connected to Mr. Soudas, or the Prime Minister himself. What you say: Canada needs to stop blocking the negotiations, so the world can make real progress in Bali! For more background information, go to www.climateactionnetwork.ca This request is brought to you by people sitting at their computers at 2 am in Bali – mostly members of the Canadian Youth Delegation (www.cydbali.org), a project of the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition, working alongside the Climate Action Network Canada. Please distribute widely.

In a great summary paper covering all the atmospheric CO2 analyses over the past 130 years, Ernst-George Beck (2007) exposed the superficiality of the UN IPCC reports on CO2 by showing several periods since the 1880s when CO2 was higher than today. The correlation with temperature is inverse with CO2 trailing temperature in direct contradiction to An Inconvenient Truth. We should know by now that correlation is not causation, but lack of correlation is a powerful refutation of the Gore/UN hypothesis that CO2 is causing climate change and that plant food is pollution. CO2 was 400 parts per million in the 1940s just prior to the most recent cooling period.
I guess what I am getting to is that the polarization of society between arts and engineering has left the arts side of the population vulnerable to big expensive scams, and propaganda. No one doubts that the climate changes. It always has and always will. As Dick Lindzen (MIT) says, "Relax the planet is fine." (National Post April 22, 2007 interview).
For many years the Nobel Committee held back on awarding a prize for mathematics to a man named Nash because of his schizophrenia. You may remember, "A Beautiful Mind". Gore is flat wrong, but that seems to be fine with the committee.
The world is not perfect. We can only chose the solution that solves more problems than it creates. Pollution can be crippling. I have seen polio in Jakarta; Toronto, however, has the cleanest air for a city that I have ever experienced. But the big lie is everywhere. When I see Dr. Suzuki on a billboard holding a dim light bulb with 5 mg of mercury, I know I'm living a nightmare. Have the schools stopped requiring 1984 or Brave New World? I prescribe them for my kids.

Dr. Manns,
It is such a relief to see you publishing here.
I do think pollution (laden with sick elements and unspent fossil) fuels ARE a problem and cities are surely best off demanding that their governments deal with that.
CO2, though, IS a very different kettle of fish. I do as much studying about global warming as I possibly can. I know that this is NOT the problem.
As for Al Gore - he makes money for each carbon credit when the time comes. I am NO FAN OF AL GORE, never was, never will be! He's the worst con of them ALL. I do which people would wake up to this fact.
I mean to drop you a line and ask you if I can do an interview with you and place it on here. I think people should be paying close atention to waht you and Ernst-George Beck have to say.
Thank you so much for posting comment here.
As for the lightbulb, it truly IS digusting what David Suzuki is doing promoting those bulbs. Mike Adams sell AMAZING lightbulbs san mercury, with LOW energy needs. They can be found at www.newstarget.com.
