Copenhagen Climate Challenge

Last updated

During the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009 (COP15), there was a rival conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, for deniers, called the Copenhagen Climate Challenge, [1] which was organised by the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow . [2] [3]

While COP15 attracted 33,200 delegates, the rival deniers' conference was attended by 60 people (15 journalists, 18 speakers, 27 audience). [1] According to Lenore Taylor of The Australian , the attendees had an average age "well over 60". [4] In closing his speech, Plimer stated that "They've got us outnumbered, but we've got them outgunned, and that's with the truth." [1] Plimer also stated that "It's been freezing in Perth and bucketing down". Perth had below-average rainfall in 2009 and temperatures of 38 °C (100 °F) were forecast for 13 December. [5]
