Christopher Monckton

The Guardian reports that UK parliament recently published a letter ordering Lord Christopher Monckton to "desist" from claiming to be a member of the House of Lords. 

This is following Monckton's interview with Australian Radio earlier this month. When ABC Sydney's Adam Spencer asked whether Monckton was a member, Monckton answered "yes, but without the right to sit or vote," and later repeated clearly "I am a Member of the House."

Clerk of Parliaments David Beamish sent the letter to Monckton last Friday, declaring "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."

Beamish concludes the letter as follows:



David Beamish
Clerk of the Parliaments


Monckton is no stranger to controversy. He recently apologized for comparing the Australian Climate Advisor to a Nazi. This has created challenges for Monckton's lecture tour in Australia, where university students recently petitioned to stop Monckton's lecture at the University of Notre Dame.  



The only argument the demented Climate Scientology cult has left:



What he cannot do is to claim he's a member of the House of Lords, as he didn't manage to get elected to that position. And thus he cannot come in front of the US Senate claiming he's an official elected member and thus backed up by this parliament ...

And this has exactly WHAT? to do with climate science?

Or more accurately ClimAstrology.

We dont get excited about Desmog being run by a money launderer.....

Well I guess it had to happen eventually.....

The greenhouse theory has been falsified emperically.


'Satellite Records Back Up Mexican Findings


Another huge spike in the coffin.

Oh yes.... Monckton is proved right in this Peer reviewed test of the theory.

Hilarious. We watch the greenhouse effect happen daily via satellite and ground station monitoring (satellite readings show the IR scatter, and ground stations pick up the scatter that comes back down). And it's old news that some particulates can counteract the greenhouse effect (see the global cooling issue, 1970s). Also, it is well known the greenhouse gases scatter IR, not block it. What you link to claims global warming science claims otherwise. That's just lying.


Read Rabett from a few years back:

I've asked the author, and I'm asking you: Where can the data be downloaded?

"I've asked the author, and I'm asking you: Where can the data be downloaded?"

What data are you referring to?

Your comments are getting worse and worse.









h/t Eli at:

you forgot two interesting facts :
He didn't manage to get a single vote.
UK citizens could tell a lot about this group of lun... this political formation.


""The House of Lords says I am not a member of it. My passport says I am - get used to it,".........Ahahaha. The lamest come back ever. The authority that he thinks he is part of, says he is not part of them....& he declares he IS because he has a piece of paper? Ahaha.

Dr Richard Dennis great a great job on Monktons nutjobbery.

Pity there is not better vid of it out yet. Deniers must be feeling like they hanging out with a sheer loon & it's only just dawning on them.






A second letter to Monckton telling him to stop misrepresenting himself. This is going to work better than the first letter -- how? Maybe a third letter will be necessary.

Sadly, it seems the hereditary 3rd Viscount of Brenchley, Chris Monckton still ignores the cease and desist letter issued by the "House of Lords" and is now deliberately using the following title appended to all UK issued passports for hereditary nobles "''The holder is the right honourable"

Sydney Morning Herald Article: "Oh lord, there's a climate sceptic in the house" dated July, 20th, 2011!


When will he acknowledge, the error of his ways, that he is not and has never been a member of the august body the "House of Lords" in his entire life to date?

it is your own very right to believe someone proven lying about his credential while taking oath in front of the representatives of the US citizens (US citizens whose ancestors fought against nobility, by the way - but US people look a lot like French people for this matter, somehow fawning over royalty ...). After all, one could consider that the message is important, not the messenger, no matter how much he inflated his CV.
Wait, his message is totally lunatic, too.






Seems that I was moncktonised. My apologies.




House of lord is alarmist ?


It's the only reason they're going after Lord Monckton. They are a political body.

Damn. You are right. They are everywhere.
Now that you mentioned it, we should dig the background of the mathematicians claiming to solve His Lordship puzzle. Maybe they were using climate alarmist's computers ...

But I always get the peerages and lordships of the top dogs at the GWPF shoved in my face, as if it lends credibility to Britain's finest denial thunk tank. I wish you lot would make your minds up.


Good job Lord Monckton!




Cheers !
