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][7][8] 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. The conference resulted in the formation of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), which is a group of scientists led by Fred Singer that disputes the positions of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).[9] The conference also led to the release of the Manhattan Declaration.[9][10]
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]
