Since Monckton is fully capable of distorting available climate data to serve his own ends, I wouldn't take anything he says seriously. See here for an analysis of one of his recent essays...
Thanks for your post. Perhaps Monckton is capable of distortion, but certainly no more distorting than Gore and others. I guess we can play the "gotcha" game ad nauseum, what with the news that NASA was off on it's temps, problems with computer models,and the "snow job" that appears to be the case with the Kilimanjaro data. But my point is, and always has been, more of a cry against the "alarmism" and false certitude that global warming folks seem to have about the issue. It smacks of an agenda beyond science that I distrust especially since in my lifetime I know the pendulem has swung full scale from ice age predictions and to the current global warming. Where is the discussion of the matter that good science would seem to demand? We simply do not know if we have caused the warming or if it is part of the natural cyles, or indeed, whether we are warming at all. After all what is the earth's "normal" temperature? The whole discussion seems to have evolved into hubris masked as certainty.
