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.”

The Chinese Navy claim (based on a risible fantasy from Gavin Menzies, not sure if this counts as ‘research’, but hey if you’re going to rewrite climate science you may as well rewrite history while you’re about it)
Phil… I’ve got a suspicion you know nothing about China, Chinese History or anthropology. Menzies hasn’t convinced me, but his thesis is both plausible and technologically feasible. Don’t like the idea that the slopes may have beaten us? Bugger off. In case you are wondering, I speak fluent Chinese, lived fourteen years in China and am a full, voting member of the American Anthropology Association.
Whatever happened to opposition in politics, almost every single politician is trying to ride the climate change train. I’d probably vote for just about anyone who opposed this nonsense, but no matter which party it is on climate they are all just as bad as the UK BNP party in attempting to order in a new Nazi regime.
Write to your local politicians and put the heat on them. Mine had a speech a couple of weeks ago where he said;
“It is not about whether individual politicians here in this place, members of parliament, believe in climate change or not.”
“The scheme we debate here should not be about even what the government is doing, because ultimately it is about what individuals do,”
I was horrified. And this from the Opposition! no wonder its sailing through! Take them to task, start your own blogs, expose their hypocrisy – make them think about the ramifications their behavior is having.

Got that link to someplace that doesn’t charge an arm and a leg to read it? If you are going to demolish someone elses research, at least put it out in the open for anybody to read and judge for themselves. Creating economic barriers to science is one reason the hoi polloi doesn’t believe the alarmists, they hide so much of it behind walls.
How could a treaty ever override the constitution?
and
If the US wanted to abandon a treaty, any treaty, how would anyone prevent the US from just dropping it?
Hannon’s viral Youtube video castigating the British PM at the EU eventually got a grudging acknowledgement from the BBC after a full week, with heading for 1m views.
Monckton’s Youtube global warning is yet greeted by deafening silence from the BBC after a full month, and 3.5 m views.
Had trouble viewing Lord Monckton on facebook, though.
While I enjoyed Lord Monckton’s presentation. Since I could not see the slides as he presented – I downloaded the pdf.
Quite frankly, I was shocked and horrified at how bad this important information was presented. Monckton needs to read and use Nancy Durate’s book: Slide:ology – the art and science of creating great presentations
Nancy’s firm was repsonsible for Al Gore’s slide show – the one that finally got people to listen to him. If she can make Al Gore look good – just think what someone like her could do with real facts.
Something simple as consistent formating would be a big improvement

DDT is a persistent poison – it does not quickly break down to safe compounds.
Mosquitoes breed rapidly and DDT resistant strains were developing. To continue to spray DDT to eradicate the non resistant mosquitoes would be pointless. Why poison the world eradicating fewer and fewer mosquitoes
From 1952:
http://www.ajtmh.org/cgi/content/abstract/1/3/389
http://www.cdc.gov/malaria/control_prevention/vector_control.htm
Resistance to DDT and dieldrin and concern over their environmental impact led to the introduction of other, more expensive insecticides. As the eradication campaign wore on, the responsibility for maintaining it was shifted to endemic countries that were not able to shoulder the financial burden. The campaign collapsed and in many areas, malaria soon returned to pre-campaign levels
In Greece, in the late nineteen-forties, for example, a malariologist noticed Anopheles sacharovi mosquitoes flying around a room that had been sprayed with DDT. In time, resistance began to emerge in areas where spraying was heaviest. To the malaria warriors, it was a shock. “Why should they have known?” Janet Hemingway, an expert in DDT resistance at the University of Wales in Cardiff, says. “It was the first synthetic insecticide. They just assumed that it would keep on working, and that the insects couldn’t do much about it.”

Human exposure
Analysis of human fat has been carried out occasionally in the UK showing that DDT can persist for many years. Analysis of 203 samples of mostly renal fat showed 99% contained detectable residues of DDT (see table 3)(24). Many of the levels found are above effect-level exposures required to elicit a carcinogenic response in test animals (see mice studies above). They are also well above the life-time safety exposure limit ADI of 0.02 mg/kg body weight.
Resistance
Many insect species have developed resistance to DDT. The first cases of resistant flies were known to scientists as early as 1947, although this was not widely reported at the time(39). In the intervening years, resistance problems increased mostly because of over-use in agriculture. By 1984 a world survey showed that 233 species, mostly insects, were resistant to DDT(40). Today, with cross resistance to several insecticides, it is difficult to obtain accurate figures on the situation regarding the number of pest species resistant to DDT
40 years ago, in 1969, DDT was freely available world wide. Sweden banned the stuff from agricultural use in 1970; the U.S. followed with a ban on agricultural use of DDT, especially sprayed from airplanes. DDT for fighting malaria has always been a feature of the U.S. ban. As a pragmatic matter, DDT manufacture on U.S. shores continued for more than a dozen years after the restrictions on agricultural use of the stuff. In an ominous twist, manufacture in the U.S. continued through most of 1984, right up to the day the Superfund Act made it illegal to dump hazardous substances without having a plan to clean it up or money to pay for clean up — on that day the remaining manufacturing interests declared bankruptcy to avoid paying for the environmental damage they had done. See the Pine River, Michigan Superfund site, or the Palos Verdes and Montrose Chemical Superfund sites in California, the CIBA-Geigy plant in McIntosh, Alabama, and sites in Sand Creek, Colorado, Portland, Oregon, and Aberdeen, North Carolina, for examples.

TOXICITY RATING CHART (oral)
Toxicity Rating Oral Acute LD50 for Rats
Extremely toxic 1 mg/kg or less (e.g., dioxin, butulin toxin)
Highly toxic 1 to 50 mg/kg (e.g., strychnine)
Moderately toxic 50 to 500 mg/kg (e.g., DDT)
Slightly toxic 0.5 to 5 gm/kg (e.g., morphine)
Practically nontoxic 5 to 15 gm/kg (e.g., ethyl alcohol)
DDT was abandoned not because of greenies but because
it was becoming ineffective
It was killing other beneficial bugs.
the money dried up
It was being improperly applied

You are correct of course. Nobody could stop the US from just dropping it. But, the big problem is that in order to “just drop it” there will have to be a political will to do so. And, believe me, that’s where the problem will be. Once signed up, your politicians of both main parties will gradually be persuaded that it is in the US’s interest to remain committed to the treaty. Over time, the treaty will steadily change and strengthen. At each revision of the treaty, you (Joe Public) will be told that the change is only cosmetic and necessary to “tidy things up”. But, in reality, the treaty will be extending out from it’s original aims and encompassing more and more of your daily life (climate change is just the way in). More and more of the decisions about how your country is run will be made from the UN building rather than Capitol Hill. When you all finally realise what is going on and demand that your politicians pull back, you will be told how “it’s too late now” and they will tell you how pulling out now would destroy your economy and cost thousands and thousands of American jobs, etc, etc. It won’t happen quickly. This will be a very slow burn. But happen it will and this Copenhagen thing (or later treaty if this one doesn’t work out) will be the first step. Think it won’t happen? Look no further than us in the UK and Europe. We are about to get a European President and Foreign Minister etc, that none of us asked for, none of us got to vote for and yet who will, nonetheless, speak for us on the world stage. Short of armed insurrection, there is nothing we can do to stop it. Study how this was done over a period of nearly 50 years. Bit by bit by tiny bit. Read up on it. You need to. Because now it’s coming to America.
I’m a Brit & dismayed at how our politicians have sold us, (and our allies), down the river.
No-one asked ME if I wanted to screw over the Kiwis, (for instance), in favour of the EEC!
Things have got progressively worse since, with various treaties.
We’re now looking at an unelected Federal State of Europe!
It was bad enough that our government had already ceded power to the European Commission, (unelected), they have now imposed a federal state against most peoples wishes!
Don’t let the U.S.A. sleepwalk into this one!

More good news that the word is getting out.

“Ron de Haan (13:25:12) :
It’s expensive and totally obsolete because they will achieve the same effect by increasing the tax on gasoline.”
Just increasing the tax on gas has 2 great disadvantages:
1) You do not need all these additional bureaucrats to administer it.
2) Many Dutch would just drive to Luxembourg, where the politicians are much smarter and the gas prices lower, and fill her up there. Which would greatly annoy the rest of Holland.
3) Do not forget: Holland is the place where they sell Marijuana in “coffee shops”.

Its also intersting to see how the IPCC make things up and down as they go along.

With so many fundamental yet surreptitious changes, and alterations sometimes the official version is quite lost in a sea of mathematics.

If it turns out they were right on global warming, and no one else would give its critics a platform, they’ll have plenty of credibility.

If I were younger, I would gladly make the move except for the imminence of your joining us in a similar state.
I will stay with my family & fight with my posters & letters to try & change things here.
Sample poster.
CO2 is innocent!
CO2 has been convicted in a summary court marshal, (without right of appeal), of a crime it did not commit, to whit, global warming!
Climate has always changed but some wish to blame mans emissions of CO2 to gain further controls over YOUR life!
Just a small poster 🙂

Without calculating it myself, I would guess that your estimate of water is off by many orders of magnitude. Unless you meant fresh water. In which case I would guess that its still off a few orders of magnitude.
Bud,
Please elaborate upon what lies your villains espouse. Disagreement with opinions of certain people, does not make them liars. Check your premesis.
I think the National Academy pulled a typo on the number of people saved — at a million deaths a year, 500 million lives saved would take 500 years — but the important thing to know is that in that document, NAS said that DDT was so dangerous that, despite its value as a bug killer, it must be phased out and replaced.
Don’t you find it just a little odd that the only places where malaria has been eradicated are places that DDT is no longer used, and that where DDT is still used, malaria still runs rampant?
Anybody the slides that actually match the presentation? The PDF given earlier does not.

I’d take this information with a very large grain of salt. The quote below is from the MSDS for morphine sulfate.
LD50 = 461 mg/kg (rat, oral), 600 mg/kg (mouse, oral). Human lethal dose by ingestion is 120-250 mg of morphine sulfate.
