As much as ridiculous spectacles like the climate summit in Copenhagen cause me to wonder if I haven’t woken up in bizarro world, where all sense and reason are flipped 180 degrees, I ultimately hold out hope that this is a beneficial exercise that will bear much fruit. More and more people see the intellectual dishonesty and realize what is truly going on.

That was an absolute intellectual beat down from Mockton but done very respectfully. Great stuff.

I like Monckton a lot but when I watch him I can’t help but think of Rowling’s Mad Eye Moody character.

Has this guy ever thought of doing a documentary, where he goes around interviewing protesters, like this? That was truly excellent – and look, Michael Moore, you don’t have to demean your interviewee to get your point across.

Always wondered why the Russians weren’t pushing back harder against all this nuttiness.

Perhaps, they were betting we’d be stupid enough to kneecap ourselves over this fiasco (so why say anything.)

KC – With all of the gas and oil they produce, Russia has a lot to lose if energy markets are artificially reduced, so it makes sense that they’d go after them. I don’t trust Putin as far as I can throw him, but hell – we allied with Stalin in WWII, so I don’t have any problem with it now.

Who’d have thought the Russians would be riding in to the rescue:

I’ve heard Lord Monckton on radio interviews many times and this is exactly how I pictured him.

Jimmy – So would we all! Monckton, like many a skeptic, has asked to debate Gore on more than one occasion. Gore has made it quite clear that he won’t debate anybody on our side.

The science being “settled” and all…

Brilliant stuff by Monckton! I’d like to see him to head-to-head with Gore in a debate.

And kudos also to the Greenpeace activist, who listened respectfully to his arguments and took them seriously. I hope this encounter will lead her to do some serious soul-searching.
