The Heartland Institute hosted its Sixth International Conference on Climate Change in Washington, DC on June 30 - July 1, 2011 at the Marriott Wardman Park. The two-day event addressed the theme “Restoring the Scientific Method.”

Dozens of think tank cosponsors and hundreds of scientists gathered in an effort to “restore the scientific method” to its rightful place in the debate over the causes, consequences, and policy implications of climate change.

The theme of the conference, “Restoring the Scientific Method,” acknowledged the fact that claims of scientific certainty and predictions of climate catastrophes are based on “post-normal science,” which substitutes claims of consensus for the scientific method. This choice has had terrible consequences for science and society.
