The journalists probably weren't going to report on the truthiness of the discussions.

[BartSimpson]

Wow, there was just thirty people there! Looks like thirty to me and, of course, I learnt me some 'rithmitic in a public skool!

[andyt]

Prove that that pic is from the event talked about in the OP. This is just more Bartshit, which can be as stinky as Fiddledogshit.

Ah. There's the rub. How did your reporter know how many people actually attended the meeting since the reporter admits not attending the meeting?

My facts are equal to his in this case.

quote please.

Did you mean this conference?

Looks like that was taken during a break.

It also looks like a picture of one conference room.

I could have taken a similar picture earlier this year when I attended a symposium and attended several individual classes of around 40 people. Yet there were over 8,000 people in total attendance.

You've been taken advantage of Bart. Someone is trying to pass off meetings in Germany 2 years ago as current images from the Heartattacks Institute's latest pitiful climate denial session.

$1:

Billed as the "Day of Examining the Data," the event was held at the Hotel California, across town from where the actual UN negotiations are taking place, Paris

That's exactly what the sign at the front of the room says.

[BartSimpson]

The picture was taken during a break as is evidenced by the things left at various chairs and places at the tables.

Taking a picture of the room when it is not crowded is not proof that there wasn't a crowd.

The lack of chairs suggests it however. The PRWatch article also includes low numbers, both in attendance and online.

While Science isn't a popularity contest, it does show that people are starting to not buy into the deniers message. And people don't like the funding behind the message.

$1:

Heartland has a long history of receiving cash from fossil fuel companies, including from ExxonMobil and groups backed by the billionaire Koch brothers, both of which have also funded CFACT.

No, it isn't.

And a consensus of people who hide their data and who refuse to publish their methodologies is not science, either.
