Dear Friend,

I write today to invite you to join The Heartland Institute in Washington, DC for a major policy event.

On June 2, 2009, we will be hosting the Third International Conference on Climate Change at the Washington Court Hotel in Washington, DC. It will call attention to widespread dissent to the asserted "consensus" on various aspects of climate change and global warming.

The purpose of the June event is to expose Congressional staff and journalists to leading scientists and economists in the nation's capital. Senators and Representatives will be invited to speak side-by-side with leading scientists and economists. Allied organizations have been invited to be cosponsors, to help promote the event to their members and supporters.

The conference's theme will be "Climate Change: Scientific Debate and Economic Analysis." The theme reflects the fact that the scientific debate is not over and that economic analysis is more important than ever, now that legislation is being seriously considered. The real science and economics of climate change support the view that global warming is not a crisis and that immediate action to reduce emissions is not necessary. This is, in fact, the emerging consensus view of scientists outside the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and most economists outside environmental advocacy groups.

To register for the event, please fill out the form attached to this message and fax it to the number indicated at the bottom of the page. Please note the registration fees indicated on the form are for the general public only--registration is free for all speakers from the First and Second International Conferences on Climate Change.

Please do not hesitate to contact me at 312/377-4000 or by email to zpino@heartland.org if you have questions or require additional information. See you in June!

Sincerely,

Zonia M. Pino, J.D.
