The World Federation of Scientists, at its annual seminars on planetary emergencies, has been advised by its own climate monitoring panel that global warming is no longer a planetary emergency. The President of the Italian Senate, Judge Pietro Grasso … and the President of the Federation, Professor Antonino Zichichi {emeritus professor of Physics, U of Bologna}, said that care should be taken to examine carefully the basis for concern about CO2 emissions as well as the relevance and cost-effectiveness of proposed mitigation measures.

… “Our greatest concern at present is that the intellectual climate for scientific investigation of these matters has become so hostile and politicized that the necessary research and debate cannot freely take place. Political constraints take the form of declaring the underlying science to be settled when it clearly is not; defunding or denigrating research that is perceived to threaten the case for renewable energy; or the use of odious pejoratives like “denialist” to describe dissent from officially-sanctioned views on climate science.”

… Professor Essex called for “free and open debate on all aspects of climate science, even where hypotheses are put forward for examination that openly contradict the official positions of political entities.”

He said the panel found persuasive indications that climate models systematically understated natural climate variability and significantly exaggerated the impact of CO2 emissions. Accordingly, past, present and proposed policy measures could be shown not to provide net benefits to society regardless of the rate at which the planet might warm. Limited resources would be better devoted to more pressing issues.

Although this is the position of the climate monitoring panel of the Federation it is not the official position of the Federation. This report of the proceedings of the World Federation of Scientists comes through a blogger, Lord Christopher Monckton of Brenchley, and has not been confirmed.

What credentials does this "world federation of scientists" have? Who funds them? What are the membership requirements?

Even politics fixes itself over time.

Gosh, you mean the emergency fixed itself? Wonder of wonders! :lamo :lamo

Uh-oh...

Sounds like the universal consensus is suffering a little chink in the armor...

Looks like they have a connection to CERN as well. Must be a bunch of Oil industry buffoons bought and paid for by international Big Oil Dollars.

Are Big oil Dollars actually bigger than regular dollars? Do these guys have a different design for their wallets? Just wondering...

History
<snip>
The WFS is a free association, which has grown to include more than 10,000 scientists drawn from 110 countries. All members share the same aims and ideals and contribute voluntarily to uphold the Federation's Principles. The Federation promotes international collaboration in science and technology between scientists and researchers from all parts of the world - North, South, East and West. The Federation and its members strive towards an ideal of free exchange of information, where scientific discoveries and advances are no longer restricted to a select few. The aim is to share this knowledge among the people of all nations, so that everyone may experience the benefits of the progress of science.

So what are they basing this statement on?

From the post in the OP, Lowdown has cut and pasted a challenge to the methodology used by the elite to curtail and rig the AGW Debate.

From what I've seen, this challenge seems to be pretty well justified.
