He signed the petition, why hide his name?
Did they really have that conference in an abandoned bus station?
There’s not much point in showing his name. Pick one at random – these {trimmed] are interchangeable.
Hiding the name seems fair, but his badge showed he was an NGO delegate. Naming the NGO would seem fair given they’re pretty much unaccountable and increasingly dangerous.
I initially thought how embarrassing having a NZer saying these things, but on reflection its fitting he is there and saying that extremist crap as it helps put the whole event into perspective for all of us.
Thanks CM.
Perhaps a fellow Kiwi reader can put a name to the face.
Clearly not the brightest light on the planet.
We are suckered into all kinds of treaties by a few scam artists and an army of mental patients with a special voting rights evidently to stupid to do an IQ test.
What really wonders me is how they recruit these people.
OMG….. I’m so embarrassed…. that moron sounds like a New Zealander…..
Moron = FAIL!
Well I cannot vouch for the sanity or common sense of all NZers. But most of them are pretty ok blokes; just like our Australian cobbers; although they do talk funny.
But as to why Dr Trenberth thinks the earth doesn’t totate under the sun beam, I think it is a travesty , that we have no explanation for that.
I did manage to read an overhead headline on a booth about gender specific Climate Justice; but the idiot, kept blocking it with his head.
A very sincere nutter.
Wonder who paid his way to Cancun?
Bugger.
He’s a kiwi?
Shame on my nation, he must be part of the Helen Clarke cocktail & Spin crowd.
Look, put your feet up team, we’ll intercept him at Auckland Airport when he returns.
Probably export him to Australia where he can get a senior role in the Ministry of Silly Walks and Environment under Gilly-ard. Now and then a few escape from Wellington (the capitol for the US readers) and make their way to conferences,…mostly to hog the buffet.
The rest head to Munich for the beer fest, which is where most Kiwi’s and Aussie youth end up, after years of mental abuse by the state education system.
By the looks of him, he may come straight from there – via Manhattan – don’t worry we’ll check his pockets for ACORNS.
Off Topic Britain just hammered Aussie in the cricket,…why can’t they both loose?
I don’t particularly care about his name, but would like to have seen just which ngo he represented.
Strangely reminiscent of the “Goose that laid the golden egg” fairy tale.
It’s not an abandoned bus station.
It’s a brand-new warehouse.
No, really. It’s a nice, large warehouse, and they built the various “rooms” inside as standalone structures. The meeting rooms are all being torn down after the meeting is over. It’s a shame – it would be a decent permanent convention facility if they left it all in.
Darn, I missed my guess based on the garbled vowels combined with the preening, smug, hate-America attitude- he’s not a Canuck, he’s a Kiwi!
Thought he was an Aussie for a second, there. But he isn’t (phew!) No, we can all thank New Zealand for giving us that particular piece of entertainment.
My vote for kook of the week (or decade) goes to Ted Turner.
From Drudge.com
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-12-05/obama-made-big-mistake-on-climate-bill-turner-says-update1-.html
says in part:
“The climate bill is much more important than health care because the climate situation is about life and death whereas the health-care bill was much more limited,” Turner, 72, said…’
AND “We have to convince the majority of people in the world that we are right and get them motivated,” he said. “That’s a big job, but hopefully we can do it.”
The next article is even better:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/ted-turner-urges-global-one-child-policy-to-save-planet/article1825977/
Climate change and population control can make for a politically explosive mix, as media mogul Ted Turner demonstrated Sunday when he urged world leaders to institute a global one-child policy to save the Earth’s environment………………….
Mr. O’Neill’s study concluded that a rapidly rising global population is contributing to an acceleration of emission growth, and that widespread availability of family planning could reduce the amount of emissions reductions required in 2050 by as much as 30 per cent.
O’Neill is …Brian O’Neill from the U.S.’s National Center for Atmospheric Research..
He’s a close second.
Fascinating. And for his age he’s that blitheringly stupid. Yes, destroy jobs over nothing other then a hunch. Look at the world over the last 100 years: the restrictions on travel; the censorship and book burnings; the ‘walls’. How could they have done that? This lunatic tells you exactly how.
This guy isn’t even that kooky. There are worse in Cancun right now.
Like the woman who was talking to her friend. “Nothing we do here will matter. Nothing will make a difference until we appease the Earth Mother.”
No, really, she said this with a straight face. In a New York accent.
Her friend didn’t challenge her on this – she just tried to get some sort of detail on how to go about this appeasement. Apparently, the woman didn’t actually know, she just knew it had to happen before we could do anything about global warming. Or “Climate Justice,” as the new phrase refers to it. Get used to that – you’re going to start hearing it a lot.
OK, so I am a Kiwi. I am also an NGO delegate to many environmental agencies – but I have never come across this guy.
At most environmental groups, naturally CAGW is one topic somewhere on their agenda.
Yet amongst my circle of friends and colleagues, which numbers many many hundreds, I know of not one single soul who belives any of it
I suppose it’s just which circles you move in.
All Kiwis aren’t this dumb – I just think those that are must move around a lot.
Wow. What an angry man. No rationality, talent, or intellect. Nothing but attitude and arrogance.
I have to apologize for our trans-tasman cousins. They aren’t all this moronic.
incidentally, I couldn’t ascertain what was criteria for desiring to cripple the USA.
Is this generally part of the implicit desire of the consensus (Royal Society, NASA etc) we hear about, or is it just the vitriol of a particular individual?
Not just stupid, but dangerous. Some of these NGO’s have incredible amounts of power, funds, and poodle-followers; plus MSM media-hacks that gladly publish their discredited ranting about the approaching armageddon. He talks like he knows his NGO’s policy. Let’s see if their next global PR campaign is : “Bring em down”.
he looks like he is the Senior global warming adviser for the NZ govt
Oh thank God….
For a moment there I thought he was an Aussie! 🙂
Would really like to know which organisation he works for.
I wonder if Monckton’s team is allowed to disclose that. After all, he was fully aware he was being filmed. Probably thought it was a news camera team. There must be plenty of PRESS around there.
Furthermore, it is all funded with public money is it not?
Who is he?
Who does he work for?
