This is the real deal, with speakers like Fred Singer, Nir Shaviv and Henrik Svensmark on the roster.
More information here: 3rd International Energy and Climate Conference.
This conference is taking place concurrently with the United Nations Conference of Climate in Cancún. But in Berlin, leading international scientists in the fields of climate and energy will present the latest science and findings on climate and energy, and not the usual worn-out scare stories and dread.
This year will also include aspects of climate policy and their impacts. The conference thus covers a wide spectrum of natural science topics and the social-political impacts of energy policy.
I hope some readers here in Germany can still find a way to attend. I think it’ll be a highly worthwhile and interesting conference. Berlin is also lovely during Christmas-time – though it might be a good idea to leave the high-spending spouses home :).
I’m planning on attending – I just have a couple of small matters to settle, and hope it works out. But I expect to be there.
If any NoTricksZone readers plan to attend, send me an e-mail. Maybe we can all get together (first round of beer is on me!). That’s a limited offer! Anyway, as a blogger I hope to provide reports on news that will hopefully pop up. Looking at the following details, it sure looks like a good time to me.

I would love to PG, maybe one year, I shall be away in slightly warmer climes, though Berlin with; the Tiergarten, and the zoo – is it still there? And the Lindenstrasse the museum and galerie…. and walks along the Spree, it is a rather beautiful city, I do find myself at ‘home’ in Germany – haven’t been there though, for 15 years.
I shall still be reading the (your) reports, it does look like a cracking line up of indubitable experts – you will love it PG! (and so would I, methinks).
Rain check on that beer?
You bet. That’s one raincheck for ya

I’d love to go but my workday battles against rising incompetence and stupidity have me tied down for a while. It’s like watching the modern world collapse under its own prosperity where those who prosper, no longer understand, nor care to understand.
Congratulations.
Germany has just become the Saudi Arabia of energy.
In the “Kreis Kleve”, NRW drilling for shale gas has started and the expected volume of gas to be extracted is comparable with the biggest gas reserves in the world.
Unfortunately the news report was dominated by gloomy looking green obstructionists who babbled about the risks for the environment, the ground water, the climate and radio active materials used by the drilling process.
Although shale gas is one of the cheapest energy resources available with the smallest possible exploration impacts our green friends were not happy at all.
“Don’t think this gas will come cheap because the costs to make it available will be huge” the news reader said.
I say call in the band and have a party.
Cheap power is essential for the German “Wirtschaftswunder” and this shale gas will make the country richer than it ever has been.
The future of Germany is saved.

Nice. That’s more shale gas than i expected.
And it’ll keep the Greens busy. I guess they will try to sabotage drilling activity.
Global Climate deal dead.
We already new this but it is nice to have it confirmed.
