Lord Monckton on Climategate at the 2nd International Climate Conference | CFACT.TV
Lord Christopher Monckton speaks at the second International Climate Conference, addressing the so called Climategate scandal and key players involved in what appears to be one of the biggest science scams of our time.

[We can't even get past the title. In Sunday's whitewash of Revkin's Climategate reporting, Revkin told the Times' public editor, "Our coverage, looked at in toto, has never bought the catastrophe conclusion and always aimed to examine the potential for both overstatement and understatement." Yet the title of today's article "affirms" that the climate is in "peril."]
The Reference Frame: Copenhagen begins: interview with Lord Monckton
However, the conference begins two weeks after the eruption of ClimateGate which has already reduced the believers in a climate threat to a fringe minority of mentally unstable conspiracy theorists.

This is a pretty insightful interview with Lord Monckton. I assure you that he could tell you all these things and many others in Aramaic, German, Russian, Latin, and many other languages, too. ;-) He told me/us many interesting stories about his work as the adviser to Margaret Thatcher etc.

In Copenhagen, Saudi Arabia has called for the investigation of the ClimateGate. I am sure that this topic dominates a significant portion of the private discussions, too.

Other activists asked delegates arriving at the conference center, with a large wind turbine nearby, to go through a green gateway marked "Vote Earth" or a red one marked "Global Warming". They told off anyone choosing red.

According to Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), sea levels have already risen by 17 cm [only 6.7 inches?!] in the 20th century, threatening low-lying island states in the Pacific Ocean.

However, in this craziness I would like to salute the host of Morning Editions, whose name escapes me at this time. He noted that because Obama, our green leader, had changed his plans about attending the Copenhagen meeting from the start and would now only show up at the end, he will have to make a separate trip to Oslo to receive his Nobel Peace Prize, seriously increasing his carbon footprint. That must be denial.
