Global warming sceptic Lord Monckton told he's not member of House of Lords | Environment |

Global Warming hoaxer finally caught. Using swastikas on power point presentations was quite impolite. Good timing during the Rupert Murdoch hearings for minimum press coverage. Sorry Al Gore, you lose again!

Bernice could you explain your post. Why is Moncton a GW hoaxer and what is the meaning of the ref. to Gore?

In this case the hoax is in reference to his eligibility to sit in the House of Lords.
Quote:The House of Lords has taken the unprecedented step of publishing a "cease and desist" letter on its website demanding that Lord Christopher Monckton, a prominent climate sceptic and the UK Independence party's head of research, should stop claiming to be a member of the upper house.
Quote:The letter, sent by David Beamish, clerk of the parliaments, to Monckton last Friday and now published on the Lords' website, states: "You are not and have never been a member of the House of Lords. Your assertion that you are a member, but without the right to sit or vote, is a contradiction in terms. No one denies that you are, by virtue of your letters patent, a peer. That is an entirely separate issue to membership of the House.

Why does Al Gore lose again because of Moncton? I must be dense on this one.

Bernice will have to fill you in on her thoughts but it looks like Monckton gets all the media even though he seems to be a fake on several levels while others like Gore who are more sure scientific grounds get no media. I don't doubt global warming is occurring but I have reservations about both sides motives in the debate. Or at least some of the people and groups involved.

Thanks Magda. Seems to me though Bernice has sided here with the GW skeptics so it looks to me like she is not really sorry for Gore. Hope I'm wrong.

Personally, I have sided with skeptics and I am not sorry for Gore.

I wonder how people who side with the skeptics deal with the Arctic ice cap that is presently melting-away at a record pace?

They say it is normal or not actually happening. Ask my Eskimo relatives. I kind of mean literally since my maternal Norsk great- great grandparents came from above the Norwegian Arctic Circle.
