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] There have been two iterations of the conference, in 2008 and 2009, both held in New York City.

2008 Conference

The 2008 conference was held in New York in March 2008.[3] The conference resulted in the formation of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), which is a group of skeptics led by Fred Singer that disputes the positions of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).[4][5][6] The conference also led to the release of the Manhattan Declaration.[4][7]

Manhattan Declaration

The Manhattan Declaration[8] is a document signed at the end of the 2008 Conference, sponsored and organized by the Heartland Institute.[9] According to the declaration it is signed by scientists and researchers in climate and related fields, economists, policymakers, and business leaders present at the conference[10], it calls for the immediate halt to any tax funded attempts to counteract climate change. The declaration asserts "oft-repeated assertions of a supposed 'consensus' among climate experts are false."

2009 Conference

The 2009 conference was held in New York March 8–10, 2009.[11] As in 2008, the keynote address of the 2009 conference was given by Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus.[12][13][14] Other speakers included Jack Schmitt, Richard Lindzen, Stephen McIntyre, Willam Gray, and Tom McClintock.[15] Unlike the 2008 iteration, which was criticized for taking donations from oil companies,[16] the Heartland Institute claims that the 2009 conference is entirely funded by individual and institutional donations.[17] Talks from the 2009 Conference are available here[1].
