OT but have you seen this?
India to ‘pull out of IPCC’
India has threatened to pull out of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and set up its on climate change body because it “cannot rely” on the group headed by its own Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr R K Pachauri.

Surely that ratchets up the pressure for him to resign, first Greenpeace, now Indian government!
Good job mate!
I’ve seen the underwear slide before… excellent false proxy of climate change… hilarious. Could have made it to AR4 based on the way they selected publications.
[snip – your claim is false]
Wow, monckton is doing a great job!
He is simply an outstanding speaker.
Lord Monckton is very entertaining as well as a scathing critic of the alarmists. I wish we had more people with his common sense in public life. Did the Melbourne press comment on his performance?
If he only could come to Norway too! It would be totally silenced by the media, of course. The Norwegian BBC, called NRK would’nt mention it with a single word, of course.
What odds on the BBC allowing His Lordship a platform?
I’m no holding my breath!
My claim is false? Perhaps I worded it poorly.

Whatever sort of medicine he is developing then, and whatever all it might treat, I look forward to seeing it.
Absolutely excellent. What an orator!!
Hide the decline
It is spreading. Monkton is catching Australia.
Definitely a wow – lets hope that the Aussies can lead the revolt because the UK public seem to have been doped into silence.
Great stuff! We need a lot more of this. About time!
I’m glad Monkton is getting recognition over this, and I hope the trend continues, but I can’t help but think of him as the good guy’s Al Gore. Brighter, better spoken, but ultimately just another politician profusely pontificating. It’s a shame scientific issues are reduced to this. Can you imagine Al Franken getting all worked up with slides and charts over leptons and muons? Or Arnold Schwarzenegger making the rounds with discussions about Eta Carinae?
It’s repugnant to see any science become a war of sound bites.

Thanks for the link! I like Lord M more every time I read about him.
The great orator did a reasonable impersonation of another great orator – herr Hitler. I hope that doesn’t backfire on him in the lamestream media. I also like the way he always attacks the EU commisars, “accountable to no one,” as a warning to the audience.
telegraph got it wrong! Pachauri has highest level support from government: Ramesh- http://www.hindustantimes.com/india/Pachauri-has-highest-level-support-from-government-Ramesh/505242/H1-Article1-505344.aspx
Ahhh, Monckton. Our version of the Goracle. Probably good to have out there to influence people, but I still don’t care for him.
That sounds to me like the “dreaded vote of confidence speech”, just before he gets sacked. There is a long standing convention in politics to issue some public statement of support just before some one “decides to retire” for personal reasons, as a face saving gesture so the amount of egg on everyone’s face is minimized.
If I were inclined to bet I would say that he has about 2 weeks left, to sort out his affairs before he walks out of the office with his stuff in a card board box.

Pachauri
In Britain when a football manager receives the absolute and unconditional support of his board, it is the precursor to his imminent defenestration.
Rather similar in British politics.

CAGW was never about science. If it had been, nobody would be worried about it.

I think he’s just fighting fire with fire at this point. I think the fact that much of his presentation has a light-hearted overtone to it is redeeming, but I can understand where you’re coming from.
