If you have doubts about the Global Warming, Climate Change, or whatever they are calling these days treaty that is about to be signed by Obama in Copenhagen then you need to watch this video. The you need to call, write, fax and email your government representatives and let them know how you feel.
Who is this man?
Christopher Walter Monckton, 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley (born 14 February 1952) is a British politician, business consultant, policy adviser, writer, columnist, inventor and hereditary peer. He served as an advisor to Margaret Thatcher’s policy unit in the 1980s and invented the Eternity puzzle at the end of the 1990s. More recently, he has attracted controversy for his public opposition to the mainstream scientific consensus on global warming. He also announced a sequel to his original puzzle called Eternity II in 2007, and it is still unsolved.
Monckton is critical of the theory of anthropogenic causes for global warming and the stated scope of it, which he regards as a controversy catalyzed by “the need of the international left for a new flag to rally round” following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. He has expressed doubt about the reality of global warming in a number of newspaper articles and papers. In February 2007, he published a critique of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report on climate change. His calculations of climate sensitivity to increased atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide have been published in the Quarterly Economic Bulletin.
In two Sunday Telegraph articles published in November 2006, Monckton disputed whether global warming is man-made, suggested that it is unlikely to prove catastrophic, and criticized the science presented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In particular, he has criticized the IPCC’s interpretation of the Medieval Warm Period, cited the “hockey stick” controversy as evidence of faulty science, argued that the science in the IPCC reports has misapplied the Stefan–Boltzmann law, and supported the solar variation theory as a possible explanation of global warming. In an apparent reference to claims made by Gavin Menzies, he further stated “There was little ice at the North Pole: a Chinese naval squadron sailed right round the Arctic in 1421 and found none.”
In response to the U.K. government’s Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, he has argued that the review’s recommendation to invest 1% of global GDP in climate change mitigation would be ineffective, as would the introduction of carbon taxes and emissions trading as a means of curbing carbon emissions. He has proposed instead that the best solution should be to “go nuclear and reverse 20th-century deforestation.”
Monckton played a key role in a legal challenge heard in the High Court of Justice in October 2007 in a bid to prevent An Inconvenient Truth from being shown in English schools. In an interview with the conservative American talk radio host Glenn Beck, Monckton stated that he had prompted an unnamed friend to fund the case “to fight back against this tide of unscientific freedom-destroying nonsense” and had played a direct role in the litigation against the British government. He is also funding the distribution to schools of the controversial documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle as a riposte to Gore’s film.
