Climate Common Sense: Lambert - Lamb to the Slaughter.

If you doubt the intelligence of the warmists then this debate will confirm your suspicions. Lambert is committing hari-kari going against Monckton who is a superb debater with complete knowledge and recall of his subject matter. Even if Lambert had better arguments and data ( which he hasn't) Monckton would still make mincemeat of him. It is a lose-lose situation for him. Hopefully ,someone will video it to U-tube.
The comments on the source article are entertaining as the True Believers try to think of ways for their hero to best Monckton.

MPs propose carbon tax to boost green investment | Environment | guardian.co.uk

The European Union's Emissions Trading System (ETS) is failing to deliver vital green investment after a collapse in carbon prices, MPs warn in a report out today.

The environmental audit committee is calling on the government to introduce measures such as a new carbon tax to push the price of carbon from its level of €15 (£13) a tonne to what the MPs see as a more credible price of €100.

Friends of the Earth said the environmental audit committee report was "another nail in the coffin" of the ETS and argued the government should drop its reliance on the scheme in favour of energy efficiency measures and stronger regulation.

Sarah-Jayne Clifton, a climate ­campaigner at Friends of the Earth, said: "Not only is trading failing to drive down emissions, banks are growing fat developing ever more complex trading systems and this risks another financial crash."
