British policy advisor says Gore is in 'panic' mode

British environmental analyst Christopher Monckton says Al Gore's latest attack on global warming skeptics shows the former vice president and other climate alarmists are "panicking."

On Sunday, CBS News correspondent Leslie Stahl asked Al Gore on the television show 60 Minutes what he thinks of people like Vice President Dick Cheney who doubt that global warming is caused by human activity.

"I think that those people are in such a tiny, tiny minority now with their point of view, they're almost like the ones who still believe that the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in Arizona, and those who believe the earth is flat," replied Gore. "That demeans them a little bit, but it's not that far off."

However, Lord Christopher Monckton, a policy advisor for former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher during the 1980s, says the former vice president can enjoy his "flat earth fantasies" for a few months, but in the end, the world will be laughing at him.

"The alarmists are alarmed, the panic mongers are panicking, the scare mongers are scared; the Gores are gored. Why? Because global warming stopped ten years ago; it hasn't got warmer since 1998," he points out. "And in fact in the last seven years, there has been a downturn in global temperatures equivalent on average to about [or] very close to one degree Fahrenheit per decade. We're actually in a period ... of global cooling."

SNIP:
Gore's group The Alliance for Climate Protection is currently launching a new $300 million ad campaign that demands reforms in environmental law to help reduce the supposed "climate crisis." But Monckton points out that in the U.K., Gore is not allowed to speak in public about his "green investment company" because to do so would violate racketeering laws by "peddling a false prospectus." He says that fact came about after a British high court found Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth, riddled with errors.

Haven't you heard? It's no longer an issue of global warming, it's all about global climate change. When the facts no longer fit the hypothesis...change the hypothesis.

Speaking of the "staged moon landing," does anyone else remember the movie Capricorn One?

(Sorry Steph, I know that's off topic, but everytime I see mention of the moon landing being staged, I think of that movie)

I don't think it has anything to do with "panic." I think it has everything to do with frustration. Anyone who can't see that the planet is heating to a point that is making all glacial ice on the planet melt is a dimwit imo.

Monckton is a propagandist. It's funny that he's being used as an authority when people are accusing Gore of the same thing.

I would say he is an opportunist. Anyone buying carbon credits deserves to be scammed by big AL. Best of luck to him.

Nope, ironically enough he's a journalism professor I think. That was Monckton's profession. Now surely we can work with that

Nope, BA political science, that's all she wrote.

I have no idea about his qualifications, just I remember reading somewhere he was teaching journalism. But heck I could have dreamed it.

I've not a clue, thought would not put it across a university to decide based on experience he could do so. Sigh.

If memory serves, he acted as a journalist during Vietnam. That may be what you were thinking of?

Except that the temperature has changed. Don't worry, you're still a genius in my book Avatar.

Also, it make me happy that you're wise enough to see through all the fakey "we want a cleaner environment" talk and have realized the real, Socialist agenda here.
