This article hits a new low in viciously emotive language, irrelevant hyperbole and hysteria, and parades some of the usual egregious myths about the science. The local Alf Garnett fan club will love it of course, the ones who would agree with old Alf that Jesus was an Englishman (have a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWKy4RHf5tQ ).

Just a few points:

Many 'global warmers' agree that biofuels are an irresponsible and ineffective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Haiti is one of the most grossly misgoverned countries on the planet, and it's a bit of a stretch suddenly to blame poverty (resulting from centuries of imperialism, greed and political thuggery) on global warmers.

The NSW Government's reasons for restricting land clearing were more to do with salination and water than with global warming.

Scientists, like myself, who are not specialists in one of the many global warming topics nevertheless have a great deal of experience evaluating theories and data, whereas this hereditary lord, according to his bio, has none.

Monckton's tour will be another step in the continuing trend to establish ignorant screaming as equally deserving of 'equal time' as careful, evidence-based rationality.

Well said Geoff

spot on Geoff, thanx.

Thanks Christopher for again exposing these fraudsters only interested in their own religion. As can be see by the response of a couple of the disciples they hate being exposed. Thankfully the lies can now be seen clearly by the gullible public because a few people have been willing to seek out the truth. The big freeze in Europe and US will need the doctrine makers to change a few things. The strange thing is that many of these fraudsters still continue to push their myths or made up lies.

Geoff and Christoper,

As either scientist or politician you should also be interested in scientific research that shows that a doubling of current atmospheric CO2 from fossil-fuel use (excluding feedbacks of warming on peat stores etc) is not possible due to limitations on accessible fossil fuels. See the media aricle by Prof. Kjell Aleklett of Uppsala University, Sweden:

(Christopher will also be interested in Aleklett's comments on food production here:

and watch also this excellent lecture on the topic of climate/fossil fuel limits by Prof. David Rutledge of Caltech in the USA:

Enjoy!

Geoff Davies and supporters...... How would you like you own home being declared a " Carbon Sink "or , to use your own words "The NSW Government's reasons for restricting land clearing were more to do with salination and water than with global warming "?

All this without real compensation or your being able to flog your property to some other Mug .

But, NIMBY really does mean " As long as it's not my Backyard " nowadays , I suppose
