As delegates of 192 countries descend on the Danish capital of Copenhagen for a key summit on climate change, a scandal over the alleged fiddling of scientific data has emboldened sceptics of the role of human agency in global warming.

FOCUS

Greek economy on its knees

Greece's debt has now reached a record 300 billion euros, the highest in its history and among the 16 euro-zone members. The crisis, coupled with continuing unrest in the streets, has spurred EU members to call for urgent action by the newly elected Socialist government.

Barack Obama, talking peace but waging war

On his way to a critical climate change summit in Copenhagen, US President Barack Obama will be stopping off in nearby Norway first to pick up the Nobel peace prize. We look back on an award that has raised a few eyebrows.

French national identity, a sensitive issue

A nationwide debate on what it means to be French has become tense since a majority of Swiss people voted against the building of new minarets. With French regional elections not far away and far-right votes up for grabs, is a healthy debate - without Muslims feeling singled out - still possible?

As Camara recovers, what is in store for crisis-ridden country?

Guinea's junta leader Moussa Dadis Camara survived an assassination attempt by his aide de camp Aboubacar Sidiki Diakite last week. But the country has since been effectively leaderless, and the outcome of the crisis is now anyone's guess.

A bid for a better life

Millions of Afghans have fled the country over the past 30 years. Most head to neighbouring Pakistan or Iran, but others set their sights on Europe, beginning a perilous journey into the unknown, with no guarantee of finding a haven there.

hype or real crisis

The ice is not melting unusually. there are 3 bodies that product raw data supporting climate change. We now know that there is really only 1. The historical temperature scientific unit and the CRU used this data and handpicked the data they wanted to include in their reports and ignore the rest. They physically moved temp graphs and so did NASA. They were caught a long time ago. The Scandal only confirms what a lot of other so called deniers were saying. I'm angry about this exclusion of the true experts. if you look at the credentials of some of the scientists who now feel it is safe to speak out against this marxist approach to science they dwarf the credentials of those climatologists and paleo-climate experts at CRU.

Globalist Hypocrits Arrive In Copenhagen

While readying speeches about how the middle class will be forced to lower their living standards, pay higher taxes on all forms of travel, and make personal sacrifices in order to save the planet from the alleged menace of CO2 Copenhagen globalists will be relaxing on the 140 extra private jets that are being forced to drop off attendees in Copenhagen and then fly back to other airports and even other countries just to park due to the lack of spaces.
Elitists will scoff scallops foie gras and sculpted caviar wedges while lecturing the general public about how eating meat is harming the earth.
And while the climate crooks wag their finger at you for having the audacity to own an SUV, they will be running up a bill of over $200 million dollars, and guess who is going to be picking up the tab?
“According to an analysis by the Taxpayer’s Alliance a conservative cost of Copenhagen is £130million.
It includes £6.3million on flights, £20million on hotels and £3.3million on food,reports the Daily Mail.
“The figure also includes the salaries for delegates and the contribution from the Danish government of £37 million. Most of the money will come from taxpayers.” Summits of this size are routinely accompanied by a huge spike in the sex trade in whatever city they happen to be taking place. While servants of the global elite and their masters lecture us about our moral imperatives half of them are out committing adultery on a nightly basis during the same global conferences at which they habitually pose with righteous indignation. Make sure you have plenty of vomit bags on standby the thugs couldn’t care less about the environment they want to tax you out of existence for breathing! http://www.infowars.com/globalist-hypocrites-arrive-in-copenhagen-for-summit/
