The Scotsman reported on Oct. 10 that the Heartland Institute plans to hold an alternative summit in Glasgow during the COP26 conference. They quoted James Taylor, the Institute’s president, who called it a “climate reality forum,” and said that it is designed to counter the hysterical anti-science propaganda of the Greenies.
The Heartland Institute just concluded a conference in Las Vegas, the 14th annual International Conference on Climate Change (Oct. 15-17) with speakers including Christopher Monckton, a former deputy leader and Scottish president of UKIP; Benny Peiser, director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, the climate skeptic group founded by former Conservative chancellor, Lord Lawson; and William Happer, a former advisor to the Trump White House, whom The Scotsman described has having “compared the ‘demonization’ of carbon dioxide to the ‘demonization of poor Jews under Hitler.’”
The Scotsman further quoted Taylor: “`We will have our own conference,’ he explained. ‘We’ll have a two-day climate reality forum in Glasgow at the same time the United Nations is holding their meeting.
