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.”

Some stuff that you all may not know. Lord Monckton has a sister, Rosa, who was a close friend of Princess Diana. Rosa Monckton is married to Dominic Lawson, a journalist and former editor of The Sunday Telegraph. Dominic’s father is Nigel Lawson, now Lord Lawson, former Chancellor of the Exchequer and Secretary of State for Energy in Margaret Thatcher’s Government. Nigel Lawson is the author of ‘An Appeal to Reason, A Cool Look at Global Warming’ which is a very readable anti-AGW volume.
I didn’t know where else to post this, so I am posting it here.
It is interesting that EPA is trying to suppress the views of these two EPA insiders who have a very negative view of Cap & Trade.

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.
………………………………………………………………….
I presume you don`t live in Africa, the South African government do not hold your opinion. DDT is the only cost effective way to irradiate Malaria in the Third world as it did in the west, (strange that DDT resistant strains were only developing after Malaria had been irradiated from the west ) they cannot afford expensive alternatives, and nets don`t work.
By the way how do you reconcile the total banning with the loss of 40 million lives, perhaps you can inform me of the legacy in the US DDT has left after it`s unrestricted use for over 2 decades.
• Concerns about DDT being harmful to wildlife or people are also misplaced. Despite decades of studies, no one has ever shown that DDT causes cancer or anything worse than skin rashes on people. Most claims about harm to animals have also been disproven – even when large amounts of DDT were sprayed on trees and fields.
• Past aid agency efforts simply have not worked. Bed nets, education and other “approved” programs have done little to reduce malaria — which is why South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and now Uganda and Tanzania are turning to DDT and other insecticides, which do work.
• Contrary to what the business ads say, DDT does not attack malaria parasites; it attacks mosquitoes. The parasites do not build up resistance to DDT, though they have to chloroquine. And while mosquitoes can build up resistance to DDT’s killer properties, if the insecticide is overused (which would not be the case in IRS programs), they do not build resistance to DDT’s amazing repellent properties, which in effect put a long-lasting net over an entire house and all its occupants.
To replace DDT, many countries such as South Africa began using synthetic pyrethoids to kill malarial mosquitoes. The problem with these substitutes is that they are more expensive and less effective. The per structure cost of indoor spraying of DDT is 2.26 rands, whereas it is 3.81 rands for Deltametrin and 9.28 rands for Cyfluthrin, two forms of synthetic pyrethoids. In addition, A. funestrus, a malaria-transmitter mosquito that feeds almost exclusively on humans, has developed resistance to pyrethroids. In the 1950s, it had almost disappeared from South Africa. It began to reappear in the 1990s, which correlates with the removal of DDT.

Bill from Pittsburgh (06:08:45) :
The best way to counter the almost religious fervor associated with the claim of anthropogenic global warming is through the consistent and persistent presentation of proper science and data as this website so admirably does.
Unfortunately Bill the populace needs to be led to proper science, Lord Monkton achieves that aim, the small inaccuracies in his lectures are irrelevant.
Tim (14:17:01) :
Unfortunately, while these two make good arguments against Crap and Tax, they have bought into the alarmist hypothesis that ‘climate change’, i.e. CO2 released by burning fossil fuels, will cause dangerous global warming.
Someone needs to tell them the hypothesis is false. No need for any measures at all, least of all the carbon tax they propose.

Phil Clarke (12:37:07) …
…linked to a “Truth-O-Meter” that claims to show that Viscount Monckton is dishonest.
Hey, I wonder how that “Truth-O-Meter” rates Al Gore? [click]
Gore, who as we know invented the internet, is way honest!
Phil Clarke’s “Truth-O-Meter” says so! How about that.
Its easy to see that any global carbon debt type system, coupled with technology transfers would effectively level US currency with that of the poorest countries in the world. Carbon output is directly tied to GDP. Paying for the difference between your output and someone else’s is an equilibrium system.
And anyone who’s ever dealt with a government agency can see that under any type of global governance, the rights of everyone will be relegated to DMV-esque “not my problem”. Got a complaint? “The US government can’t help you with this one, its a Global Law. My hands are tied, go talk to the complaint department…. Its in Libya”.
No thanks. Thank God Monckton has the jimmies to call this ruse out for what it is…

The good news is they have yet to get around to the biggest greenhouse gas of all, that one lighter-than-air component that really acts as a blanket to keep the sun’s radiant heat trapped in the earth. Most exhaust stacks, including internal combustion engines, spew out this gas in large volumes, dwarfing carbon dioxide, methane, sulfur dioxide and even nitrogen for its impact on the environment. It’s awful! If we didn’t have to contend with it, we could be much happier living on a bone dry planet. claysamerica.com

I flip the dial all hours of the day in Vancouver. I’ve not yet heard these ads on any of the dominant stations here.
For any future rounds of ads I would advise caution regarding mention of the “quiet sun” and “whether or not” there has been warming in the past decade.
Partial Elaboration:
It is important that the public understand that warming happens for natural reasons (& that solar-terrestrial relations are complex). It is also very important to alert the public to the alarmist tactic of conflating warming with anthropogenic warming, as if natural variation can only cause temporary cooling and is no longer capable of causing natural warming.
Aside:
The primary issue I see (i.e. the screaming weak [actually nonexistent] link) is the untenable assumption of randomness in statistical inference on solar/geophysical spatiotemporal series …but I realize (!) that isn’t necessarily a message that can be crafted to resonate with the general public under the constraints of 30 second air-wave blasts.
Cheers,
Paul.
Some stuff that you all may not know. Lord Monckton has a sister, Rosa, who was a close friend of Princess Diana. Rosa Monckton is married to Dominic Lawson, a journalist and former editor of The Sunday Telegraph.
And it was the Sunday Telepgraph that is amongst the few publications to reproduce Monckton’s nonsense.
No wait, hang on, his treatise was accepted by this reputable academic journal, right next to the study of Time Travel Portals ….
Of course there was his ‘peer-reviewed’ piece on the APS website, I spoke to Al Saperstein of Wayne State University in Michigan, one of two co-editors of Physics & Society, the offending newsletter.
He stressed that that the article was not sent to anyone for peer-reviewing. Saperstein himself edited it. “I’m a little ticked off that some people have claimed that this was peer-reviewed,” he said. “It was not.”
Oh dear.
Phil Clarke,
Viscount Monckton and the alarmist contingent have been going at it for the last couple of years. And New Scientist has no more credibility than Nexus.
For Monckton’s response to Schmidt’s ankle biting: click
Oh, dear.
For a fresh perspective on Lord Monckton check out this parodied debate which he has with Al gore. Some levity but a very serious message in there which I think we should all heed…
A frikking awesome video which all should see – this one should go viral in a sane world.
namaste
check this out- try to get the lowest score. hilarious. “air travel is…” “how much did hurricane katrina cost….” trust me there are some trick questions. getting zero can actually be a challenage.
tbf have writen to oxfam and complained about this waste of internet space.

When you see “smoke stacks” on Television to boost the argument of man-made climate change, you have to be a dummy not to see that most all the “stacks” spewing out white stuff, are actually spewing out steam, which, for those who quit thinking, is moisture. Now, moisture in the atmosphere is, by far, a bigger heat-sealing blanket than heavier-than-air plant food (carbon dioxide), but it is a useful ingredient just like plant food. It would appear, the promoters of man-made climate change are simply trying to fool the many so they can walk off with the control they seek, and the money. Claysamerica.com
In norwegian newspaper-blogs, teenagers are discussing to ban air-travel for holidays and such.
The teachers are on to them with AGW alarmist stuff on a daily basis.
When they grow up, there will be hell to pay.
Its like a coming horde of green Hitler youth…..
@claybarham OMG OGM the logos used to represent climate change don’t give an accurate picture of the causes of CO2 production.
How is this relevant? Aside from the fact that I don’t remember seeing any pictures that actually look like cooling towers, billowing clouds are a neat visual representation, transparent gasses don’t have the same visual impact.
Monckton is truly awesome & he is right about most things, particularly this AGW for Global Governmant scam. Cma you imagine, a Marxist Socialist lead World Government, moulded on the ghastly European Union model, i.e. no democracy just self-enriching self-promoting politicos taxing us all to death. They’ll be so busy sefl-promoting themselves that they will not see the reality of an Ice-Age creeping up around the corner.
OT. After spending a few hundred quid on my darling daughter’s new car, I sat down in the late afternoon yesterday & watched a 70’s sci-fi thriller, I caught it mid stream where there were all these weirdy block-robed mutant humans sitting in a makeshift court room, with a poor fella manacled & shackled head & toe spreadeageld on the floor in front of the baddy leader, who was lording it over this poor fella & ranting on like a bible-bashing preacher, that he “had knowledge of the use of the wheel” & other such machines of humanity, that had allegedly caused their current predicament, for which this poor fella was unfortunately to be sentenced to death. I have to admit that I at first thought this was a live broadcast from a side-show at Copenhagen for few minutes (the shape of things to come no doubt?). Then of course it dawned me that it was only a film after all, the wonderful Omega Man (original, sorry to Will Smith) with the gr8 (blast that texting daughter of mine) Charlton Heston, with the wonderful Anthony Zerbe as the chief baddy! What a relief that was, although I dare say that’s where Greenpeace (Redwar) gets its scripts from!
Yes, this is very alarming stuff to be this close to the groundwork for a new world order or one world government. I understand the hyperbole on each side of the coin but one must take heed when the treety actually talks about an unelected, international governing body that has political and financial power over our country. We just need to see the warning signs before it is too late.

And you can bet your sweet burro people would, especially the bankers and big investors, were that the case. It’s not the case, though, is it. No, you can’t find it in the treaty, can you.
