Will Fossil Fuel
Companies Face Liability for Climate Change?
History of the nonscience
A 1998 memo leaked
from the National Environmental Trust to the New York Times detailed that a
dozen people working for big oil companies, trade associations, and
conservative think tanks had been meeting at the American Petroleum Institute’s
Washington headquarters to propose a $5 million campaign to convince people
that global warming science was riddled with controversy and uncertainty... -Read more
This is a cartoon depicting the 2009 United Nations
Climate Change Conference in held
at the Bella Center in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The comic strip shows people in the audience at the summit watching a man speak about the effects man has on the planet and what we can and should do to slow down the destruction of the earth. The wall behind the speaker has the words on a projection screen reading:
Energy Independence
Preserve Rainforests
Sustainability
Green Jobs
Livable Cities
Remewables
Healthy Children
etc... etc...
A man is standing up in the crowd angrily asking:
"What if it's a big hoax and we create a better world for nothing?"

president of the conference until December 16, 2009, handing over the chair to
Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen in the final stretch of the
conference, during negotiations between heads of state and government.[1] On
Friday 18 December, the final day of the conference, international media
reported that the climate talks were "in disarray".[4][5][6] Media
also reported that in lieu of a summit collapse, solely a "weak political
statement" was anticipated at the conclusion of the conference.[7][8]
The Copenhagen
Accord was drafted by the United States, China, India, Brazil and South Africa
on December 18, and judged a "meaningful agreement" by the United
States government. It was "taken note of", but not
"adopted", in a debate of all the participating countries the next
day, and it was not passed unanimously. The document recognised that climate
change is one of the greatest challenges of the present day and that actions
should be taken to keep any temperature increases to below 2°C. The document is
not legally binding and does not contain any legally binding commitments for
reducing CO2 emissions.[9] Many countries and non-governmental organisations
were opposed to this agreement, but, throughout 2010, 138 countries had either
formally signed on to agreement or signaled they would.[10] Tony Tujan of the
IBON Foundation suggests the perceived failure of Copenhagen may prove useful,
if it allows people to unravel some of the underlying misconceptions and work
towards a new, more holistic view of things.[11] This could help gain the
support of developing countries. Malta's Ambassador for Climate Change, Michael
Zammit Cutajar, extends this to suggest "the shock has made people more
open to dialogue"
