Thanks for this, Rich.
Of course, if any of this had backed up AGW it would have been a lead story on the BBC and definitely the front page of the Guardian.
The Conference, held in New York March 2-4, and sponsored by the Heartland Institute, attracted some 500 people from around the world to listen to climatologists, meteorologists, economists, policy makers, and others with impeccable credentials. They were brought together by their disdain for the global warming hoax, based largely on the false claims of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). These in turn are spread by people like Al Gore along with scores of environmental organizations.
"Last week, virtually unreported in Britain, the extraordinary winter weather of 2008 elsewhere in the world continued. In the USA, there were blizzards as far south as Texas and Arkansas, while in northern states and Canada what they are calling "the winter from hell" has continued to break records going back in some cases to 1873. Meanwhile in Asia more details emerged of the catastrophe caused by the northern hemisphere's greatest snow cover since 1966."
But, as Booker writes, the fact that in Afghanistan they have lost 300,000 cattle and the human death toll has risen above 1,500, the fact that in China, six months of snow and record low temperatures have killed 500,000 animals and left three million people on the edge of starvation, is news. That British editors did not think it important enough to print speaks volumes of their distorted priorities and their lamentable values.
A simpering parochial mouthpiece for the government, that's just about all our MSM is.

You might want to check out what that conference actually was before commenting on it. See :http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=The_2008_International_Conference_on_Climate_Change
I have checked it out and, as usual, the media outlets that jumped on the AGW bandwagon are trashing it. As usual evil Exxon Mobile is being blamed and as usual a finger is pointed at the money involved. Well I ignore the media, since they're corrupted beyond recovery. I ignore these comments about Exxon Mobile since it's actually very naive to imply that such a company will lose out because of AGW. As for the money, this is but a fraction of the billions thrown at the AGW industry, or even at the salaries of those working for the IPCC. And finally, despite all the slurs thrown at the 'deniers' its not them I see telling the big alarmist lies and massively distorting the data. That would be those who gave us the hockey stick, drowing polar bears and 20 to 80ft sea level rises.
it snowed in texas where my wife lives, for the first time since 1922, all the weather people were shocked and stunned, some areas where it snowed upto 6 inches. a bit further north it was 2 foot of snow.
when it should be our summer weather there. minus the rain.
could it be the climate people are trying to shame exxon and others to pay "reparations" to these organisations to save the planet?
all this blame game, could it be a way to get more money and power for the climate change groups.
