Maggie of the climate scam is live blogging the Heartland conference. I clicked the “share” link on the video in this blog post. The sound and video quality is very bad, it doesn’t seem entirely live, the lunch session in particular seems to include quite a bit of lunch with chit-chat in and joking in a language I do not speak (Swedish?), I can’t seem to fast forward past the first twelve or so minutes of milling around and chit chat, but I thought I’d embed the video anyway:
I’m not planning to sit here all day watching the video, but if anyone happens to notice anything exciting happening, post a comment so the rest of us can watch. (If anyone knows the trick to scrolling forward with these types of videos please share. I tried selecting the knob and dragging to the right, but that didn’t work.)
Maggie is evidently taking notes and will give a synopsis at her blog.
For the curious, I downloaded the schedule from the conference web site and scanned for names of known bloggers, blog commenters, people associated with bloggers or just people I’ve blogged about:
- Ross McKitrick spoke early this morning.
- Craig Loehle spoke mid-morning. Even if I’d known, I would have missed that due to a conference call. (I should have given him a mug to carry around the conference. I bet I could have sold enough to offset the gift. Clearly, I am not the enterprising sort.)
- Mark Morano, who is not a blogger but who seems to fascinate many pro-AGW bloggers, spoke mid-morning. He’s on a different track from Craig. I assume this means a different room. If so, I guess we’ll see either one, the other or neither but not both on video.
- SteveM and Anthony started speaking an hour ago! (But the feed doesn’t really seem live. Maybe we’ll get to watch them later this evening.)
- Roy Spencer speaks tomorrow morning.
- Lunch and closing remarks are by four people including Lord Christopher Monckton. Monckton’s talk is entitled “Magna est veritas, et praevalet (Great Is Truth, and Mighty Above All Things.”)
Oh how I wish four live bloggers spanning the full range of climate-blog addiction were attending, filming and making youtube videos!
Hat Tip: Andy Revkin who linked to the online materials where I found the link. Revkin will evidently be sharing his thought later on.
Whichever way you look at it this is showing pretty massive cooling everywhere
http://www.osdpd.noaa.gov/PSB/EPS/SST/data/anomnight.3.9.2009.gif . La Nina is really getting strong once again at site 1 (beside Ecuador/Peru)
have a look at continents COLA site.. same thing exceptions Australia. Also Cryosphere today totally unreliable but not their fault satellite is way off for apparently part of 2008 and all of 2009. Curiously (For Leif) Sun just doesn’t want to take off. LOL There appears to be a discordancy between UAH (AMSU) data this year with last years data with same surface temps. One wonders if ALL the satellite data was not caused by one event (Cosmic/solar ray burst at time (Dec-Jan2009 2008) ect?)
re previous analysis of current conditions climate outlooks
http://wxmaps.org/pix/temp1.html temp2 ect…. for each continent its pretty oustanding!!! and scary? maybe just normal fluctuations…
There are some articles by Bob Carter at Quadrant:

…and also many other good articles there. E.g. “Our New Established Religion,” by Ian McFayden.
VG do ever read the ENSO update by NCIDC?
Dear Lucy,
You need a little patience to scroll forward: the total video is downloaded while you watch. If the download speed is fast enough, the lighter gray line on the scroll bar is moving faster than the cursor at the time stamp where you are watching and you can move the cursor where you want anywhere in the light gray area. If the download speed is slow, then you have to wait (and drink some coffee), until the light gray area fills the whole scroll bar or includes the timestamp where you want to start to see the video.
Lucia – Heartland have recorded all the speeches and they are available here

janama-the videos at that link are for last years conference (08) and the 09 videos etc. have not yet been released. The anticipation is killing me!
Oh – I’m sorry – my bad.
Since we’ve been hearing the same arguments for at least the last five years, is there anything new?
For how many years have we been mislead about AGW? Has it been five years already? Time sure flies when you are having fun. 😉

Well, I remember having a discussion on a ski trip with an AGW proponent while watching Desert Storm on CNN one night, so it’s been going on a lot longer than 5 years.

Thanks! My Comcast connection went down. (The outdoor connection was under a major pond. It’s located in a slight swail and four houses sump pump outfalls drain there.) Now I need to read 92 comments to see if any food fights happened while I was gone.
Many thanks for drawing attention to Maggie’s blog. Never been there before so it was a rare priviledge to observe an exchange between Paul Reiter and someone whose point of view I can’t begin to describe. Most illuminating.

Re my last: The exchange can be found on Maggie’s blog at the posting: http://www.theclimatescam.com/2009/03/12/drowning-in-myths/#comments
Just scroll down the comments to Paul Reiter’s contributions. Well worth reading.
