9th International Conference on Climate Change

The 9th International Conference on Climate Change represents a significant gathering of the global climate skeptic community, featuring prominent scientists, economists, and policy experts who challenge the prevailing narrative on human-caused climate change. Organized by The Heartland Institute, recognized by The Economist as the world's leading think tank promoting climate change skepticism, this three-day event continues a tradition that began in 2008 and has attracted over 4,000 participants across eight previous conferences.

Attendees can expect presentations on the latest observational data and research that conference organizers claim contradicts settled climate science. The event coincides with the release of two new volumes of the Climate Change Reconsidered series by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), providing attendees with access to comprehensive alternative assessments of climate science, biological impacts, and policy implications. Nearly 300 videos from previous conferences demonstrate the depth and breadth of scientific discourse these events generate.

The conference holds particular significance for energy and mining sector professionals, as the scientific and policy perspectives presented directly challenge the foundation for many current and proposed environmental regulations, carbon pricing mechanisms, and energy transition policies. The gathering provides a platform for understanding alternative viewpoints on climate science that could influence future regulatory frameworks and market conditions affecting fossil fuel industries and resource extraction companies.

With co-sponsorship from FreedomFest, which holds its annual liberty-focused gathering immediately following the climate conference, the event attracts not only scientists but also policy makers, business leaders, and advocates who shape the regulatory and market environment for energy and mining operations. This convergence of scientific skepticism and free-market advocacy creates a unique forum for discussing the intersection of climate science, energy policy, and economic implications for resource-dependent industries.
