CTV News | Canadian position prompted walk-out at climate talks

OTTAWA — The government's push to abandon much of the Kyoto protocol prompted dozens of developing countries to walk out on Canada's address during recent climate talks in Thailand, The Canadian Press has learned.

The mass walkout came after the Canadian delegation suggested replacing the Kyoto Protocol with an entirely new global-warming pact, according to one of the negotiators and notes taken by others at the meeting.

Global warming dismissed as 'lies'

"I'm just showing you lies after lies,'' said Monckton, in a speech to 50 people at a luncheon meeting of the Frontier Centre for Public Policy, held at the Delta Regina.

Monckton, who is a member of the House of Lords in the U.K and a former science adviser to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, identified former U.S. vice-president Al Gore, the United Nations, politicians in general and misguided environmental scientists as among those telling lies.

Monckton said he had repeatedly challenged Gore to a debate about environmental issues but Gore has yet to respond.

"I'm still waiting for a reply, Al baby,'' Monckton taunted.

Monckton repeatedly dismissed Gore and other global warming alarmists as "bed-wetters.''
