>Relations (IDDRI) cordially invite you to the 
>three events of the international Climate 
>Controversies: Science and Politics conference.
>On October 27 and 28, a conference in Brussels 
>will address the recent climate controversies 
>that have shaken the politics and science of 
>climate change. Without denying the existence of 
>climate change, the pungent criticisms addressed 
>at the IPCC seek to re-evaluate its 
>anthropogenic character. As a consequence, 
>behaviours are divided between proactive actions 
>and a laisser-faire approach. These two days 
>of conference will aim to unravel the form, 
>content and actors of the controversies.
>In the evening of the 27, a public debate will 
>address the relationship between the controversies and the media.
>Finally, on October 29, a conference at Sciences 
>Po Paris will examine the profiles and political 
>cleavages within the climate-sceptic movement 
>and their influence on our perception of the problem.
>With the participation of Naomi Oreskes (author 
>of Merchants of Doubt), Clive Hamilton 
>(Requiem for a Species), James Hoggan 
>(Climate Cover- Up), Jean-Pascal van Ypersele 
>of the IPCC, Bruno Latour (Sciences Po) , 
>Laurence Tubiana (IDDRI Sciences Po) and 
>journalists including Hervé Kempf (Le Monde), 
>Sylvestre Huet (Libération), Michel de Mulenaere
