One more thing: Make no mistake that climate scientists do, in fact, receive threatening mail and phone calls and e-mails, both at their work and at their homes. Some of it is humorous, but most of it is vile. My own experiences have taught me that letters having no return address are likely to be hate mail. Much of this hate mail results from climate change deniers having encouraged their followers to contact faculty members and their universities — to bully and intimidate them. There is no room for such behavior, and anyone encouraging or condoning threats to science researchers should not be afforded public venues to further this behavior.

I guess only this engineer is allowed to use ad hominems by mentioning some he called "climate change deniers". First of all no one denies that climate changes and second of all comparing those who don't buy into a theory to holocaust deniers is a gross insult.
Monckton is a celebrity commentator without specifically relevant credentials. Like Al Gore.
