I recommend Potholer54′s videos on Youtube, debunking of the garbarge that comes out of this guys mouth regarding climate change. It’s both brilliant and funny.

Actually, I recommend all the Potholer54 videos.

He’s a climate sceptic? I’m pretty sure the climate exists. Is he sceptical of how the climate is being warmed by the actions of humans? I don’t understand how people can be sceptical of proof. It’s very odd that he’s also pretty sceptical about the absence of proof.

I myself am sceptical of that photograph.

Despicable man!

Potholer54 did a brilliant (and highly amusing) teardown of Monckton in this 5 part series:

Every time I see Monkton I can’t help thinking of Stephen Frys General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett in Blackadder

So Monkton, You believe Climate change is a lie?

YEEEEEEEES.

Are you a Member of the House of Lords?

YEEEEEEEES

But they say you are not?

BAAAAAAH…

Isn’t he just using a variation of the argument from authority logical fallacy?

By using the House of Lords symbol on his lecture slides he is attempting to legitimise his claims. Glad the House of Lords have hung him out to dry.
