Minneapolis – A video of Lord Christopher Monckton warning of the impending Copenhagen climate treaty has received over 3.5 million views in 30 days, according to Minnesota Majority, the organization responsible for posting the original 4-minute excerpt of Monckton’s speech. The organization says that its original clip, together with the 100+ cloned versions that now exist on YouTube, in total exceeded 3.5 million views as of November 15, 2009. The video clip made Minnesota Majority the #1 most viewed Non-Profit & Activism channel in the month of October on YouTube.
[ Note: Also I have a link to the draft Copenhagen Climate Change Treaty here Monckton’s Powerpoint presentation used at that speech is available in PDF format here (warning large download 17.5 MB) – Anthony]
See the video below.
The video clip is an excerpt from a 95-minute speech given by Lord Christopher Monckton at an event sponsored by the Minnesota Free Markets Institute in St. Paul, Minnesota on October 14. Monckton, former science advisor to Margaret Thatcher and a noted climate change expert, presented evidence dispelling the theory of man-made global warming. He also warned that America’s sovereignty may be at risk if the United States signs the treaty scheduled to be negotiated at a United Nations climate change summit beginning on December 7 in Copenhagen. Monckton says that the Copenhagen treaty will cede U.S. sovereignty, mandate a massive wealth transfer from the United States to pay reparations for ‘climate debt’ to third world countries and create a new ‘world government’ to enforce the treaty’s provisions.
Full video speech of Lord Monckton’s speech. It is one hour and 35 minutes long.
The Monckton speech has spurred a national debate on the issues of man-made global warming and the Copenhagen Treaty. His comments have been featured on Fox Business, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, The Wilkow Majority, Laura Ingraham, Michelle Malkin and Breitbart TV. An hour-long segment featuring Lord Monckton and Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton was aired on the October 30th edition of the Glenn Beck Show.
The Monkton video also helped to launch a national petition drive opposing the Copenhagen Treaty as well as domestic cap-and-trade legislation. The petition, which is hosted at www.NoCapAndTrade.com, has generated over 135,000 messages to Congress.
“The more people learn about the supposed issue of ‘climate change’ and how green extremists intend to control our lives, the more skeptical they become,” said Jeff Davis, president of Minnesota Majority.
Monckton’s message appears to be having an impact. Last week, key US Senate Democrats said it is unlikely there will be any additional action on climate-change legislation this year. The Obama administration had hoped to seal a deal on domestic cap-and-trade legislation prior to attending the Copenhagen conference in December. Earlier this month, The Times reported that all hope is lost for a deal in Copenhagen and that a world treaty on climate change will likely be delayed by up to a year.
Davis warns now is not the time for treaty opponents to rest on their laurels. “We may have bought ourselves some time,” said Davis. “But green extremists will be back in-force trying to advance both domestic cap-and-trade legislation and an international climate treaty that will rob us of our liberties and grant government more control over our lives.”

It sounds as if the Copenhagen Treaty is a bit like the Treaty of Rome, which eventually led to the European Union – it will be painfully slow, but it will only ever go in one direction. The USA would be well advised to have nothing to do with anything that cedes authority to a supranational entity.
This is good news, but it’s going to be difficult to counter AGW-scare articles like this one about the spread of killer jellyfish in a warming world:

Thanks Mr. Gore, for inventing the Internet.
Great stuff. So concise.
This man (along with Anthony, Steve and many others) should ALL get a Nobel prize. (Mind you, the value of those has dropped a wee bit in the past 2 years, eh? ☺)
I sent this to my Canadian member of parliament. It looks as though the Canadian government will not sign anything without China and India. Sure hope so.
Good luck with Obama on this.

That’s nothing. Here:

DaveF: The United States cedes some sovereignty with every international treaty it signs. As we know international treaties take precedence over national statute.
I think we can agree that the Copenhagen Treaty is one we should steer clear of. It will not be the U.S. that torpedoes it, however. China and India will take care of it, at least in the sense that they will only support one that will never pass muster in the U.S. Senate.

“Dutch first in Europe to adopt green tax for cars”

“The Dutch government is to become the first country in Europe to introduce a green tax to replace annual road tax on cars.
Drivers will have to pay per kilometer driven in a bid to end chronic traffic jams and cut carbon emissions. The system, which will use Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to monitor cars, could be used as a test case for other countries weighing options for easing crowded roads. Singapore has a similar scheme for charging according to the amount of travel. “
It’s too bad we don’t have leaders like that. Look at the way he stands. Who does that remind you of in American History?
Hmmm…… let’s see, our Founding Fathers were subjects of the King until…
Oops, I’m drifting here. The message is “Don’t let your guard down”.
Well taken. The Agenda will be back, after it licks it’s wounds, for another sneaky attempt at world domination.

” The United States cedes some sovereignty with every treaty it signs…” Yes, but not irreversibly. These clever politicians have now cottoned on to the idea that they can set up a new organisation that won’t give back that sovereignty without a fuss. This is how we here in the UK have got sucked into the EU. And they’re prepared to play a very, very long game; so, as rbateman says “Don’t let your guard down”. Best wishes.
If you live in a state where your senator is a confirmed socialist and won’t pay attention to her mail, here’s one effective way to address the problem:

Profit making companies need to know that their support of green agendas is going to cost them income.
We need a counter-executive, to keep the system from bending the Constitution into a pretzel. The Supreme Court can’t get the job done these days.
Can we hire Monckton?
This man stated as fact, and in print, that the Chinese sailed around the arctic in the Fifteenth Century despite the fact that this claim had already been shown to be wrong. Even the Chinese don’t accept it. Honestly, if a loony Viscount like this is the best you guys can do, you are seriously marginalized.
3.5 million hits. Excellent. The thing that must really rile the alarmists is how the public flock to anything skeptical of climate change – Ian Pilmer, Lord Moncktons video etc. It just shows there is a real hunger for truth. No wonder Monbiot is so frustrated.
If Viscount Lord Monckton was a “scientific advisor” to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and the same Prime Minister so eagerly jumped on the AGW bandwaggon, did she do so at the behest of VLM or did he advise her not to do so? Just wondering …
Okay, nothing to do with climate change – speaking as a non-scientist novelist (but mother of a geologist) who’s horrified by the non-scientific nature of the AGW agenda – PLEASE get his title right. He’s Lord Monkton. Christopher Monkton to his friends, maybe, but the Chris bit is nothing to do with his title. Bizarre, but it’s the way it works, and we like to be precise and accurate on WUWT. Lord Christopher M is completely wrong – won’t go into it, but just call him Lord Monkton.
Thiers (12:55:50) :
Citations, please? And in keeping with the alarmist obsession, make sure they’re peer reviewed. Thanx.
Has this administration and your nation not learned the UN lesson, where the United States is a founding member, paying most contributions, but every [not polite enought ~ ctm] (still a polite word for most of them) dictator is allowed to stand up there and scream about how bad this nation is?
Do you American people really want to establish and fund another organization, in the name of saving climate and planet, with the main goal to destroy your economy, capitalism and finally America as an inspiring model for mankind?
Do me a favour: Say NO.

I read that analysis. How quaint, and naive.
Bow to pressure from UN, I think not.

The system is an horror.
It’s expensive and totally obsolete because they will achieve the same effect by increasing the tax on gasoline.
The only extra value is that the Dutch Government exactly knows who is driving where, an incredible breach of privacy.
The Germans already stated that it’s a screw up and one of the political parties is gong to test it according to the European laws.
I am confident that many Dutch won’t like the idea either.
Freaking socialists.
