Don't expect to hear much from the mainstream media about it, but the Heartland Institute's second International Conference on Climate Change starts Sunday and runs through Tuesday. A Who's-Who of reputable, well-credentialed (and/or well-studied) skeptics will meet in New York City to debunk, debate, and ferret out the truth about the science and economics of global warming alarmism. Among the all-star participants:

Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus

Red Hot Lies author and Spectator blogger Chris Horner

MIT's Richard Lindzen

The Deniers author Lawrence Solomon

Former Apollo astronaut and geologist Harrison Schmitt

Joe D'Aleo, first director of meteorology for The Weather Channel

Meteorologist and surface station expert Anthony Watts

Harvard astrophysicist Willie Soon

Climate Confusion author Roy Spencer

Really Inconvenient Truths author Iain Murray

Last year's conference was a hit and given the continuing lack of warming and more shrill alarmism, this year's conference ought to draw even more attention -- maybe even from a few more mainstream journalists.
