Inside the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Cancún, one of the most moving speeches on Tuesday was by Marcus Stephen. He is president of Nauru, the world's smallest island nation, covering just eight square miles in the South Pacific. Stephen is the leader of the Pacific Small Island Developing States at the climate change talks. Johnson Toribiong, president of the island state of Palau, also spoke.

    These clowns base their "science" on false data.. climategate exposed the unreliability of the data.

    I hope that helps understand my comment. I will make my comments clearer in the future. Thanks.

    Peace

  • @truefictions The Pacific Islands has nothing to do with Climategate!

  • Google climategate before you give these clowns any credibility.

    Peace

  • This is all hogwash! It's all about wealth redistribution. That means taking money from our pockets and giving to someone who did not earn it!
