FORA.tv's own Stuart Schulzke interviews climate change skeptic Christopher Monckton, 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley at the COP15 Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.
Bio
Lord Christopher Monckton
Christopher Walter Monckton, 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley 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 climate change.
Why should the global warming facts cherry-picked by this “viscount … politician, business consultant, policy adviser, writer, columnist, inventor and hereditary peer” be more relevant than the facts pointed to by the overwhelming majority of people who have spent their lives studying the problem?
This guy hasn’t got what even Bjorn Lomborg has explicitly admitted: ‘Global warming is real, it is man-made, it is a problem,’ ‘Unfortunately, we only have virtually one solution: cut carbon emissions dramatically, right now[,’ Bjørn Lomborg, on 15 December 2009, at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark
Dr. Abraham has a letter online (6/6/10) answering Monckton's objections (6/4/10)

"What the emails show us btw, in detail, was that there was collusion and conspiracy to suppress information that counters their cause"
Eh? ...that counters the cause of the emails? That's gibberish!
Only 3 emails from the thousands stolen are being quoted exensively out of context.
And the "hockey stick" graph has not been refuted ... I note you do not supply any reference or link to further information ... your assertions cannot be taken at face value alone.
You are wrong, dead wrong. The hacked correspondence from the University of East Anglia had no evidence whatsoever that the "hockey stick" was fruadulent. See http://www.desmogblog.com/truth-out-...ng-keep-it-out
Besides, both NASA & the Met Office Hadley Centre had constructed climate graphs independently of the UEA, so even if there was a sliver of doubt, you can see the "hockey stick" in all its glory here: http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/
Enjoy.
You've misread my post. The fraudulent hockey stick graph comment wasn't tied to the comment about the hacked computers in East Anglia. Two different events. What the emails show us btw, in detail, was that there was collusion and conspiracy to suppress information that counters their cause. And yes, I do mean 'cause'.

It's interesting to read some of the comments in this thread that are pro-global warming. It's interesting considering that the "hockey stick graph" (different one that Lord Monckton was talking about) based on evidence as flimsy as counting and measuring tree rings, has been proved to be statistically fraudulent, and in light of the recent email correspondence "hacked" from a British university showing conspiracy to defraud.
You mean Al Gore makes paid-for speeches arguing for action on climate change, so he has a "vested interest".
I'm shocked, SHOCKED!
But, hang on, doesn't Monckton get paid for making speeches against climate change? I am sure he makes a tidy profit. Wouldn't you say he has a vested interest in keeping up his rolling farce?
It is great to see people still have the guts to challenge the majority even if it is seen as blasphamy to this new religion. You rock Lord Monckton. Found this article from November 1922 regarding climate change very interesting http://www.sott.net/articles/show/20...Icebergs-Melt-
