The International Conference on Climate Change is a conference sponsored by the Heartland Institute which aims to bring together global warming skeptics who dissent with the scientific consensus that human-produced greenhouse gases, predominantly carbon dioxide, are causing the Earth's climate to warm.[1][2][3][4][5][6] There have been two iterations of the conference, in 2008 and 2009, both held in New York City.
2009 Conference
The 2009 conference will be held in New York March 8–10, 2009. As in 2008, the keynote address of the 2009 conference will be given by Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus.[7][8] Other speakers will include Jack Schmitt, Richard Lindzen, Stephen McIntyre, and Willam Gray. Unlike the 2008 iteration, which was criticized for taking donations from oil companies[9], the Heartland Institute claims that the 2009 conference is entirely funded by individual and institutional donations[10].
