He had a wedding ring!!!
Unfortunate. I think the society should not have to put up with the crazies like that spreading genes everywhere.
He should be tracked down and neutered.

*Spot the looney!!*
They tried a massive boycott of BP during the Transocean spill event earlier this year, all it did was hurt some station owners. BP just goes merrily along.
If that’s the best they can do, well, best to them.
That’s amusing, but, totally unfair. I can find kooks at any convention. Filming them and putting them on TV as representative of any particular viewpoint is an old trick that the right wing loves to do with hippies and the left wing loves to do with Sarah Palin. Let’s not make too much of it.
Completely off topic…
just went surfing around the site and found this as the second comment to Anthony’s first post.

I’m very pleased to see you writing this column Anthony! It’s sure to be a big hit….
Big Hit?
Now there is a prediction that came true. Although you could argue that his prediction fell way short of the mark!
Great job Anthony and all at WUWT.
I wonder if the cold weather and huge snow storms are making him mad too? What would he do to Mother Nature if he could? I wonder if this man has something other than America that is bothering him and he is displacing his anger on America—I wonder that about other global warmers too. Maybe some of them hate themselves.
In the end though I don’t even raise an eyebrow when I hear him because I think he will do nothing of consequence, he only has pipe dreams. He would not be able to gather enough people to put anyone out of business. I think he should begin to deal with whatever it is that is making him angry and find a happier life.
He comes from NZ, yeh I’ll believe that.
There’s quite a few retarded nutters in the AGW camp that post on web sites here in NZ.
One by the name of Behappy comes to mind and is a good fit for this guy.
So help me to understand, the US CO2 emissions are pure evil, but China is OK?
He rattles on and on about the US, but NOTHING about China… Very inconsistent.
JDN says…
“Lets not make too much of it.”
Crippling the US economy is the sole purpose of the AGW anti-CO2 apparatus.
The entire Cancun conference would be dedicated to US crippling, if they weren’t at such a weak point currently. This guy is perfectly representative of the meeting.
He’s just saying it out loud, on camera, without the mealy-mouthed blather about “justice” and “healing the Earth”.
Interesting delegate booths behind the interview:
International Trade Union Confederation, an umbrella group for socialists
and
Climate Justice for Women, whose vision is:
“GenderCC believes that in order to achieve women’s rights, gender justice and climate justice, fundamental changes are necessary to overcome the existing systems of power, politics, and economics.”
Herein lies one of the problems. We working wealth producers are busy at home while the non-working wealth redistributors are busy in Cancun, and Copenhagen, and Bali etc. I get the feeling that the climate is just an excuse for these people.
Hmmm, sure he’s a Kiwi? Accent doesn’t sound quite right. Maybe he’s actually an Aucklander 😉
His badge says “Non-government” and it looks like Unicef ? in the top right corner of the badge.
I hope it’s not Unicef – surely they wouldn’t be spending child charity money on a climate change boondoggle ? Ouch – just checked their web-site – they do have a “climate change” programme. Dang.
Honestly, is he that far removed from 99.9% of the rest of the kooks in Cancun? I think not.

“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.”
It’s being torn down (burned actually) as a safety precaution. Computer models show that Moonbattery may be contagious and until the vector is identified (need more/bigger grants to study it) it just doesn’t make sense to take any unnecessary chances.

This guy was just repeating what that jackwagon Lord Nicolas Stern said. Clip him first.
UK climate economist warns US of trade boycott
(AFP) – Nov 18, 2010
I was raised in NZ and I was sure he was a Canadian Liberal.
Did anyone get a clear understanding of his last sentences? It sounded like he was implying if he was *in some situation* he would “set fire” *to something* so as to “take some of them with me.
His speech wasn’t clear to me, but it honestly sounded like he felt that suiciding to take out American’s was something he felt was righteous.
Someone please clarify. I don’t like mis-labeling someone a terrorist.

I’d pinned him for a Wellingtonian, the lack of dress sense, the off the shelf Rims and ruinous venom towards anyone with a working Air force were a give away.
Kelburn boy perhaps? Then again he sounds a bit like Richard Taylor of WETA fame, long lost Brother?, Sister?. Maybe he was entirely CG?…Miramar or Miramax?
We should cobble together a Fund to restore the used of fully formed Vowels to stricken Kiwi’s the world over, maybe too late for Helen C,…goes without saying…
God! I listened to his accent and realised that he is a New Zealander! What is it that has happened to we N.Z.ers lately that we have managed to breed gits like this one? Is there something in the water? We used to be solid, sensible stoic and taciturn. Now we are garrulous, gormless ginks! (The accent seems to be Auckland – and that explains a lot! )
As I said God help us – maybe Christopher Monkton was wrong about that event 2000 years ago of Saving The Planet [“which, of course, was triumphantly Saved 2000 years ago and does not need to be Saved again”]. in his earlier post!

Kiwi? Huh! I would have sworn it was tequila poisoning.
My sister-in-law is from NZ (Dunedin) and she is as beautiful and smart as they come.
That’s why my brother married her. 🙂
NZ is a GREAT place….a slice of paradise, really.
Well….THIS guy….he would be an embarrassment to ANY country….or even another planet.
I was waiting for the camera to pan away and for him to be holding two manicured yippy poodles in his arms….wrist abent as he bitches about the USA….like a bitter histrionic old woman.
Thanks for the comic relief, CFACT!

Come on all you Aussie representatives in Cancun ! I know you can beat this Kiwi !
Do it for us ! Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ! Oi! Oi! Oi!
Lord Monckton might want to award at least a consolation prize for this:

With United Nations climate negotiators facing an uphill battle to advance their goal of reducing emissions linked to global warming, it’s no surprise that the woman steering the talks appealed to a Mayan goddess Monday.
Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, invoked the ancient jaguar goddess Ixchel in her opening statement to delegates gathered in Cancun, Mexico, noting that Ixchel was not only goddess of the moon, but also “the goddess of reason, creativity and weaving. May she inspire you—because today, you are gathered in Cancun to weave together the elements of a solid response to climate change, using both reason and creativity as your tools.” …
“Excellencies, the goddess Ixchel would probably tell you that a tapestry is the result of the skilful interlacing of many threads,” said Figueres, who hails from Costa Rica and started her greetings in Spanish before switching to English. “I am convinced that 20 years from now, we will admire the policy tapestry that you have woven together and think back fondly to Cancun and the inspiration of Ixchel.”
Beam me up, Scotty! But first, another round of Dos Equis for the Excellencies!
If any movement ever had a liability, loony Lord Monckton is it. His extreme right wing nuttery and silly accent are an embarrassment and incredibly easy to ridicule.
While believing AGW is the biggest corporate scam in history, the delegate is correct about the actions of the USA. Some of it was revealed by Wikileaks cables.

‘You’re all going to hell in a hand-basket – that’s the reality of it and quite frankly if I was sitting on a small?? simple?? I would set fire to ?? and take some of them with me’
Some of the words in the video were lost where the question marks are – but it was clear that he was a ‘nutter’ and carried away by the moment – being interviewed – his brief moment on the world stage!! But a terrorist – nah!
