The latest bug-eyed comedian

Lord Monckton


"It is indeed better to have a policy which nods to the issue of climate change for those who still believe, and there are some diehards who still believe, that fixes some of the genuine environment issues that are a lot cheaper than the enormous amounts diverted to this ridiculous climate thing," Lord Monckton said.

Later Monckton told the National Press Club that human-emitted carbon emissions were not warming the planet, that increased sun activity accounted for recent higher temperatures, and that the draft negotiating text at December UN climate talks had proposed setting up a world government.
Problem is, people take this dickhead seriously. &, unfortunately, there are small pockets of sloppy science in an otherwise impeccable body of research that allow the climate change sceptics to single those out as evidence that the remainder must be flawed as well.

Ah, Marty Feldman was prescient when he said


"I won't eat anything that has intelligent life, but I'd gladly eat Lord Monckton."
