In March a symposium on “Climate Change and Energy Imperatives for Future Naval Forces” will be held in Maryland. Sponsored by Johns Hopkins University, the symposium will delve into the effects of climate change and global warming on the defense of the nation. specifically as it relates to the U.S. Navy.

Considering all that’s come to light in the past few months about cooked books, fudged numbers, hidden declines and academic fraud in the global warming industry, will that subject ever come up in March in Laurel, Md., site of the symposium? Will it change the agenda at all? Will it shorten the conference?

I can’t wait to see.
