The Al Gore Curse: Cancun Experiences record Lows During COP16

Global warming true believers can't catch a break. Last year at COP 15 in Copenhagen, they had a blizzard. Now, the this year's COP16 has brought record lows to Cancun.

Today’s my first full day in Cancun at COP-16, and as I emerged from my hotel room I was greeted by a brisk, dry, cool Canadian breeze.

It was 54 deg. F in Cancun this morning — a record low for the date. (BTW, Cancun is nowhere near Canada).

Al Gore is not supposed to be here…but it could be that the Gore Effect has announced his secret arrival. We will check into this.

COP16 Expectations Dialed Back. Main Objectives Are Now Suntanning and Drinking Tequila.

Attendance is reportedly down as much as 82% at this years COP16 global warming climate change climate disruption conference of world leaders. President Obama and Nancy Pelosi both attended last year, but have decided to skip the conference in Cancun. Last years failure to reach a binding resolution was a big disappointment. This year the goals have been dialed back.

"Looking at what you have achieved over the past months, I am convinced that you can compromise to find your way to a concrete outcome in Cancun. That outcome needs to be both firm and dependable and have a dedicated follow-on process for future work," Figures added.

But expectations for the talks are decidedly more modest than they were in Copenhagen, and the array of problems that observers say sabotaged last year's talks remain.

They include a reluctance to pay for easing dependence on fossil fuels, failure to agree on greenhouse gas reduction targets, and a battle between industrialized and nonindustrialized nations over who should shoulder the brunt of the responsibility.

RFE/RL correspondent Komila Nabiyeva, who is covering the Cancun talks, said the mood of the conference is less ambitious than last year's.

Almost all the attendees are traveling on taxpayer's dime. There are worst places to spend a few wasted days.

AGW Skeptics Dr. Roy Spencer & Lord Christopher Monckton are Going to Cancun for COP16

Two of the most prominent critics of anthropogenic global warming, Dr. Roy Spencer and Lord Christopher Monckton, will be in Cancun next week for the COP16 global warming climate change climate disruption conference. Let's hope the new Climate Science Rapid Response Team shows up. Spencer and Monckton would shred them. At least the choice of Cancun will garantee warm weather. Last year at Copenhagen, delegates were greeted with an embarrassing blizzard.

CANCUN, Mexico, Nov. 24, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — CFACT, the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, will feature two prominent experts on climate science and policy at COP 16, the UN conference on climate change which convenes next week in Cancun.

Lord Christopher Monckton will be in Cancun December 1 – 10.

Dr. Roy Spencer will be in Cancun December 6 – 10.

Both will be available (allowing for travel) before and after Cancun.

Last year COP 15 in Copenhagen ended without serious progress on a successor treaty to the Kyoto protocol. A series of meetings in Germany and China were likewise inconclusive. The UNFCCC is under severe pressure to jump start the treaty process in Mexico, however, public doubts about climate science and policy coupled with an inability of developed and developing nations to find common ground leave the UNFCCC with a daunting task ahead.
