Lord Monckton, Fox and Free Market Thinking

This is a link to a video Lord Christopher Monckton speaking with Rafe Champion at the Mannkal board room in July 2011 on how to swing the public over to the "right" way of thinking about climate change...

Or google "monckton Mannkal video"

Also on this subject, this page at ABC's The Drum is well worth a read...

At one point during the tour, Monckton told a boisterous partisan crowd:

"So to the bogus scientists who have produced the bogus science that invented this bogus scare I say, we are coming after you. We are going to prosecute you, and we are going to lock you up."

Lord Monckton

A colleague sent me a link to a page which I initially took as a hoax, and then realised it was in fact a collection of articles by climate change deniers and other loonies. He had received the initial email from a chap claiming to be a university professor.

Here's my reply:

I just phoned the good Prof., Michael. There was no answer and no answering machine so difficult to confirm whether he really sent it. I'm fairly confident, however, that that's not a number at the UWA.
It's quite possible he is a real person and he has credentials a little more credible than those of "Lord" Monckton - after all, we both know that there are quite a few characters out there who are not in the employ of the oil and energy companies and who really do believe that stuff.

For every one of them, there are roughly a thousand highly credible scientists who say they're a sandwich short of the picnic.

Here are a few pages which I'm sure you're already familiar with:
