What, this Lord Monckton?

You're an absolute fool if you take Monckton seriously.

I challenge you to outline just one of his arguments that has any sort of scientific substance.

Lord Monkton is funny. But I prefer him when he is Ali G.

Which reinforces the idea that you're under 15...up until about 10 years ago it WAS 'global warming'......then it was changed to 'climate change' when the numbers for the temps no longer support the idea of 'warming'..

It was global warming 30 years ago.
It is still global warming now.

It was climate change 30 years ago
It was climate change when the Intergovernmental Panel on CLIMATE CHANGE was established 25 years ago
It is still climate change now

Global warming is not the same thing as climate change.
Both terms were in use 30 years ago.
Both terms continue to be in use.

Seriously - anyone who still repeats this "up until about 10 years ago it WAS 'global warming'......then it was changed to 'climate change' " truly is a moron of the highest order.

One glacier can do interesting things. However, anyone with an ounce of intelligence would take a step back and take a look at what's happening to glaciers collectively.

I'm sorry, bystander, was there a particular glacier you wanted to cherry pick. How about you start acting like a real skeptic and start questioning the motives of the people feeding you this crap.

Satellite study of Asian mountains show that glaciers are NOT melting - and some are actually gaining new ice
Glaciers between Pakistan and China have gained mass of ice since 1998
Survey using satellite data
Area accounts for 3% of ice-covered area on Earth
Gain in thickness between 1999 and 2008
Flies in face of predictions of climate activists

You're cherry picking, bystander. Certain contributers to the DailyMail are renown for it. There are tens of thousands of glaciers in the world and the last update shows that 90% of them are losing mass. Yet you want to cherry pick from the 10% that are more likely to reflect local weather events.

Are you really that innocent, bystander. How about you have a closer look at what is on the Y axis.

Reply #58 - Feb 10^th, 2013 at 8:54am Glaciers have been in retreat since well before the great global warming con, fairly regular occurence apparantly, of course the global warming cult thinks glaciers just stayed the same size for millions of years
