This has just broken via Jo Nova.
The yanks have got fed up funding this gravy train and are now pulling the plug.
Another victory for science! The House votes 244-179 to kill U.S. funding of UN IPCC!
‘[The US government] no longer wishes to have the IPCC prepare its comprehensive international climate science assessments’
Defund IPCC ‘amendment was sponsored by Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-Missouri), who read aloud on the floor from the 2009 U.S. Senate Report of more than 700 dissenting scientists!
(Written by Climate Depot’s Morano) — Luetkemeyer: Americans ‘should not have to continue to foot the bill for an (IPPC) organization to keep producing corrupt findings’
Note: U.S. Senate’s 700 Scientist report has been updated to more than a 1000 by Climate Depot. See: * SPECIAL REPORT: More Than 1000 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims.
There is a God.

ReplyDeleteWonder how they'll spin this one, I expect loads of ad hominem attacks against Luetkemeyer too.
I wonder what that Huhne will do? Probably offer to make up the shortfall, knowing him.
ReplyDeleteDon't give him ideas for Gods sake!
ReplyDeleteGood news at last!
ReplyDeleteAnd nice to see the House Of Representatives still use an outdated and potentially insecure browser....
Americans ‘should not have to continue to foot the bill for an (IPPC) organization to keep producing corrupt findings’
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of printing that and framing it.
God bless America.
