Vom 21.-23. Mai 2012 findet in Chicago die 7. Internationale Konferenz über den Klimawandel statt. Die Konferenz gibt auch Themen eine Bühne, die vom IPCC bislang zuwenig Beachtung erhalten haben. Ausrichter ist das Heartland Institut. Am Eröffnungstag wird der tschechische Präsident Vaclav Klaus sprechen (Foto). Ebenfalls teilnehmen werden einige der NASA Wissenschaftler und Astronauten, die kürzlich in einem offenen Brief die NASA-Führung zu einer ausgewogeneren Darstellung des Klimawandel-Themas in der Öffentlichkeit aufriefen.
