Not at all. Of course, we all believe in the reality of the greenhouse effect. The current data seem to show that it is not significant in relation to natural variations in the climate. We do not see a signal that can be associated with or attributed to human activities. The climate models used for predicting future temperatures have not been validated against observations and therefore should not be relied on.
Economists now believe that global warming is good for the economy and the people.
The governmental delegations therefore ignored the fact that the actual climate observations contradict the models on which all forecasts are based. In the meantime, the rest of the world is standing by waiting for the handouts promised by Kyoto. From a personal point of view, things went extremely well. We got our message across to the media and received glowing write-ups in European newspapers. We were telling the European public that global warming is a phantom problem.
