Video of Monckton's Speech on Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty in Copenhagen

Unfortunately Monckton does taint his otherwise excellent presentation by bringing God into the conversation on a number of occasions. Doing God is wholly unscientific.

Article IV¶2: This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.

Nit picking: It is Article VI, paragraph 2.

Spot on.

To those of you who are upset over the recent political posts on WUWT and want to stick mainly to science, I have the following comment: So do all of us. Unfortunately, the world does not stop while we research and argue the scientific merits of the AGW hypothesis. The simple truth is the political crowd, on both sides of the political spectrum, has latched on to AGW and is using it to further their political agenda. These politicians want to make changes that affect every country in the world based on shoddy scientific facts and they’re trying to push it though before the whole house of cards comes crashing down, so as a skeptic, I have to become engaged in the political debate because it will not only affect me, it will affect my children and future grandchildren. This isn’t a left-wing/right-wing thing; it’s a right/wrong thing. It also doesn’t necessarily mean you have to vote for any particular person, you just have to put enough pressure on these political hacks to make it political suicide to pursue these potentially damaging and certainly premature policies. Once we can get this issue out of the political spectrum and back into the scientific forum where it belongs, we’ll all be better off. Bottom line: Quit complaining about these political posts because they do have relevance in the big picture. Anthony is doing everyone a service by not only shedding light on scientific issues, but political ones as well and he should be commended for his efforts.

Left’s War on Science

Oliver Ramsay (09:48:42) :
“I’m embarrassed to have Monckton on the same team.
I can’t say much about his substance because I found his style so unappealing that I couldn’t continue. The recitation in Latin, delivered with the appalling accent of fifth form Public School classics class, is ludicrous.
Thank goodness nobody there understood it any better than he did himself”.
Oliver,
Reciting in Latin and the accent is a perfectly British habit and a lot less ludicrous than a than a former Vice US President with a Nobel Price for fraud and deception.
What’s more ludicrous is that he is getting away with it with NO AMERICAN challenging him.
It must be quite a team you’re embarrassed about.
Please grow up, this is not a personality competition.

A French journalist wrote in a monologue, about global warming, that computer models are NOT reality. Nature is reality.
Dr. Bob Carter further specified realities as scientific realities (facts), virtual realities (computer models) and public realities (beliefs).
Physicist John Reid discusses the computer models (virtual reality).
Contrary to popular belief, only 18% (0.36 ppmv)of the yearly increase (2.0 ppmv) in atmospheric CO2 concentration was due to anthropogenic CO2 emissions, as of the year 2000, per the Department of Energy.

Climate Modelling Nonsense
John Reid
https://www.quadrant.org.au/magazine/issue/2009/10/climate-modelling-nonsense
First there is the argument, commonly used by Al Gore and others, that carbon dioxide forms a layer like a blanket or greenhouse window pane high in the atmosphere which traps long-wave infra-red radiation, thus making the surface of the earth warmer. This is misleading. Certainly carbon dioxide is an infra-red absorber but, like most infra-red absorbing gases, its absorption rate depends on concentration and pressure and is at a maximum at the ground. The atmosphere is a gas, not a solid, and bits of it move up and down, carrying heat as they move. As a meteorological balloon climbs higher in the atmosphere, the measured temperature falls off with increasing height. This phenomenon, referred to as the lapse rate, has been known and described for more than a century. The lapse rate is determined by the thermodynamic properties of the gases that make up the atmosphere and has little to do with radiation. The convection term completely dominates the radiation term in the relevant equation.
Second there are the climate models themselves. In discussions with colleagues, arguments always seem to come down to “But the models show …” Those who use this argument seldom have modelling experience themselves and share the lay public’s naive faith in the value of large computer models.
If the IPCC were a pharmaceutical company it could face fraud charges for doing this. This is a good analogy. The IPCC claims to have diagnosed a planetary disorder, global warming, and has proposed a remedy, the limitation of man-made carbon dioxide production. They have produced no convincing scientific evidence that either the diagnosis or the cure is valid.
Over the last few years, with remarkable rapidity, AGW theory has gone from a scientific curiosity to a politically-correct catechism. Nowadays it is not merely politically correct, it is politically essential. Somehow this nineteenth-century oddity has outlasted Das Kapital to become the banner of millions of environmentally concerned Westerners. It seems to fulfil a human need for sacrifice, a need to “put something back”. It is the ancient myth about guilt and sin and redemption in a new guise.

Geos said: So Ramsey, as a self appointed latinist, what sort of accent did ole Julius Caesar have frinstance? Estuarine? Appenine?
Furthermore he quoted stuff from memory, bet you couldn’t do it. I loved it, those self opinionated catastrophists needed taking down a peg or two. Well done Monckton, well done Anthony.
So, do you think that piece of Latin was about AGW? Or religious belief?
A show of hands suggested that he wasn’t speaking to many catastrophists.
rbateman,
I’m not allowed to mention what really annoys me, and besides, of course you can take issue with somebody’s style; it was clear that I wasn’t speaking of his substance.

Hoax press release in the name of the Chamber of Commerce reveals how disturbed and desperate the warmists are:

Mike Lorrey (01:07:37) :

What is even more dangerous is if the treaty is treated as ‘not a treaty’ as is increasingly the case among these fascists. They may merely call it an ‘agreement’ which doesnt require a supermajority ratification, and they will claim it only requires a simple majority to enact the regulations to comply with the agreement.

That is precisely what was alluded to in the previous posting regarding this. Monckton knew this & said as much.

Heard on the street…
“People are tired of the stonewalling. What’s coming next is a deeper plunge into the cold and imminent release of previously cloaked plans. The remaining warmist agencies will bend and kiss their ashes goodbye.”
