]]> Comment on On eve of Copenhagen conference, Estonians express indifference to global warming by Henri http://estoniaonthemap.com/2009/12/06/on-eve-of-copenhagen-conference-estonians-express-indifference-to-global-warming/#comment-43 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 09:57:08 +0000 http://estoniaonthemap.com/?p=317#comment-43 There was a sizable presence of Estonians in Copenhagen conferences but it is true that the general knowledge of the issue is very low.

It is a problem mostly with media which is filled with Oil-shale industry stories by a small group of people.

We are working to share more information – last week I was talking in Domus Dorpatensis in Tartu about the Copenhagen COP15 and what is the state of things regarding climate science and action based on that. I think after this year the situation will be quite different.

Thank you for your blog! It is fantastic, I am currently trying to work out exactly what happened to my Grandparents during the war.

Feel free to check out my blog about the annexation of The Baltic States.

Those “stolen” e-mails tell you everything you need to know about the tricks that so called scientists use to force their agenda. For every scientist that says Global Warming is a fact, there are 20 who say different. Until we get to the truth about all of this, NOTHING should change other than we all do the best we can in our own small way to be good environmental stewards. Anyone brazen enough to think that mankind can ruin the earth in any meaningful way, thinks much too highly of mankind.
