Climate denier Lord Monckton gets pwned!

[irishgeal1]

true greeners check out cryosphere today, the childish greeners are what they are, a load of brainwashed sheep, thats why most farmers like keeping sheep, they are so easy led, watching them play kiddy games rather than sit down and debate the lord in a concerned way is clear proof they dont know the hard facts, period.

[eifersucht2]

nice prank. i think i did that once when i was about 13

[todioliver]

Absolutely f*cking brilliant video.

[1776independent]

Well done. Monckton exposed for the stuttering boob that he is. What a jack hole. Shriveled pretty fast when confronted with the graph. "Oh yes. Well, THAT's the famous hockey-stick graph!" Uh huh. It is.

[calvinjones]

Nice video guys. Amazing to see how many people ignore any sense of skepticism when something pleasing to their conscience is said. Shame climate change isn't some massive conspiracy, we have a huge global change to be made, including our own lives. How inconvenient.

[megrifter]

0:32 lmao

[Samsgarden]

Astonishingly intelligent video.

Can I join your organization?

[govpavlicek]

Well there are also doctors who claim AIDS is rubbish and HIV does not cause AIDS. Probably AIDS is invented by (let me see, which conspiracy can I come up with...) big pharma of course! They've a grip on the whole world with all their money. Those poor doctors aren't allowed to publish anything and therefor don't but you should believe them. You shouldn't believe those who actually publish things. We call that religion. Better to believe things without any scientific backup, of course...

[vogelstraussenior]

Monckton is right.

This young stupids know nothing about climate. They are allways the same idiots. It does not matter, what "catastrophe" it is, they cry to safe the world but they do never know the background. I think greenpeace an other "green" activists are the silliest people on earth, because they belive everything.

[delebakery28]

that was Hilarious, I was there when I saw them put it on. We put some on him tooo...

[jakedrakethebomb123]

I know that guy who was holding the laptop

[hibeeApostle]

I'm so glad that a real scientist Lord C Monckton is here to put these Hitler Youth's in their place...I would request that they change their Orange T-Shirts for the Brown shirts and Black boots more in keeping with the Fascist dogma that they teach. Most of these people simply spout what they read without checking out the facts...THERE IS NO MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE...calling their idiotic model a theory is wrong as it cannot be tested..it is not EVEN a theory lol silly wee boys and girls!

[theaycc]

Lord Monckton is not a scientist.

[mehtol]

@theaycc You don't need to be a scientist to see the lies being told by our government and the mainstream media.

[theaycc]

Surely you'd need to have some understanding of climate science to debunk it? ... Otherwise you've just got an opinion, not a fact.

[Chambersamps]

@theaycc Is the AYCC a group of scientists?

[Funkyflorist]

@theaycc

Would you give a set of requirements for an individual to be considered a scientist?

[theaycc]

At minimum, an undergraduate degree in a scientific field.

[AdmiralBud]

@theaycc I have an undergraduate degree in environmental science from the University of Leeds and all of my climate lecturers agreed that it is by no means proven that anthropogenic climate change will cause anywhere near the kind of warming that scaremongerers like you suggest.

[theaycc]

For whom, and where? Different parts of the globe will experience different outcomes. Modelling of scenarios is based around a series of probable unknowns. Certainly we don't know definitively at what temperature tipping points will be triggered. Like anything, it is about managing risk.

[Maxtaxifromhell]

What are Moncktons science credentials? He seems to infer that the majority of people are not qualified to have an opinion on AGW, yet he is not a scientist either. He was a journalist and we know how reliably they report the facts.

[theaycc]

The IPCC put the maximum allowable carbon level at 350ppm if we want to limit warming to 1.5 degrees ...

[csgforme]

I finally found the information regarding the general statements in the video.

Wouldn't it be more honest to just put the information in the video instead of sending people on a chase for the truth?

Shouldn't you have listed "CFACT" as the beneficiary of the $582000 over ten years ($58200/yr --one mans salary)? And shouldn't you have listed the purpose of those funds (research for environmental concerns)?

You're goal is the truth, isn't it???

[allieron]

@theaycc

Lord Monckton is funded by big oil indirectly through his CFACT, Heartland, SPPI and other "think-tank" seats as an "expert" and is tied in with the CEI "Cooler Heads" Denier cabal.

If anyone thinks an oil company is giving money purely for "research" to Deniers like Lord Chris, who is a Peer-reviewed climate scientist expert in the same way Picasso was an astronaut, then I have a carbon-credit free bridge I'd like to sell them.

[dantronamus]

Isnt the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isnt it our responsibility to bring that about? Maurice Strong, founder of the UN Environment Programme

A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our

economic system into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation. Paul Ehrlich, Professor of Population Studies

[blad3runn69]

lol

me

[csgforme]

Both statements are founded on speculation. They would only be convincing the following were true:

1) A collapse is the only hope- It is not "the only hope".

2) "The realities of the ecology situation" were a crisis. Merely calling it a situation does not deem it a crisis.

Both should be addressed, but neither are founded in facts of crisis.

[OldCottage2]

If global warming really is a problem, limited govt and a free market economy would be the best way to handle it.

[quietthomas]

@OldCottage2 "The free market" encourages capitalists to make cheap and dirty things appear clean and green. Consumers are concerned with cost, and so will invariably choose what they can afford - not what's best for the environment.

[allieron]

@OldCottage2

Uh, that's actually what appears to have CAUSED the problem.

Do you seriously think we'd have clean (ish) cars and low smog if the EPA hadn't legislated against the auto industry ??

Look at deep ocean dumping and toxic waste disposal. "Free market" again.

These people CANNOT be trusted to be ethical, as the recent collapse of greed-driven Capitalism shows.

Are you 'Limited Govt, free market" people on drugs, or is it something to do with lobotomy or brainwashing ?

[CalgaryFlames2010]

THis monckton dude has no idea what science is lol. I wonder how badly he will be crippled when standing up against university student in a argument!

[quietthomas]

I'm in my 20s, and haven't heard of either party depicted in this video... I'm just a random youtuber - but frankly I think this video made the 'youth' in orange seem stupid, childish and unappealing (even though I believe in climate change and the scientific consensus).

[scola91660]

A lot of people believed in the consensus that we were on the brink of an ice age in the 70s. You weren't around for that. This is the same thing.

[UrielCorinthian]

Links, please? Articles and so on would be interesting to see.

[allieron]

@scola91660

Nonsense. There was NO scientific consensus for "Global Cooling". At all.

On the contrary, the REAL scientists were already trying to alert us to global Warming.

Try again, but research this time.

[TheUFOeffect]

@allieron...OK, we'll go along with this scam and then you like all the rest uf us can pay the highest tax hike in workd history. congrats...are you proud of what you've accomplished?

[Seikan]

Hey. I know that dude in the video.

He demanded I re-evaluate my position on The Greens.

Kudos for this awesome coverage. Seeing Lord Monck eat his words and attempt to battle against the tidal waves of logic has certainly lifted my spirits for today. :D

[tdenterprise]

what a waste of time of a video.

firstly, i am a climate change believer,but i completely resent this idea that anyone who doesn't believe in climate change is somehow in the pocket of big oil companies. the sad thing is, i'm actually on the side of that pre pubescent dude thinking he's a hero because he can stick stuff on some geriatrics back. climate change is real, but dumb vids like this just make our cause harder to achieve. logic and intelligence will prevail, not sticking stuff on backs

[Repoman23]

Im a climate skeptic, and if more climate change advocates were like you, I would have a greater respect for them.

[r4ttl3]

Maybe next time he's on a luxury boat, push him off and let him swim to the nearest country. Then he might understand what it will be like for the refugees that the rising sea levels will create. Though the difference between this guy and the refugees is that mostly countries are happy to accept rich people as refugees. He has had 10 years to look over the science, arguing with him in person isn't going to convince someone of something they didn't want to hear in the first place.

[Gabb0123]

then you could lock him up on christmas island for 3 years to 'process' him. hooray for totalitarian democracy!

[pepperfoley]

This video is fantastic. It shines light on a pressing issue and exposes how dismissive and irrational people like Monckton are when shown hard statistics. I am proud of this work. If others out there believe this is disrespectful to Monckton you must have missed the discription where he calls Youth Climate Hitler youth, clearly showing his respect. Keep up the great work IUYC, u have many supporters. Currynut

[DJFarfrom]

Ever heard of a metaphor?

[velvetm]

Tom Green tactics ...

[RbVDK]

Climate Change is not a religion.

[BOYCOTTLETTERMAN]

5 stars! ...No wait 1 star!! .. don't worry, it will get better..

..I think I can .. I think I can

..Alright Champ, that's the attitude!!

[safeclimatesa]

Joel and co you are legends! Good on you for trying to show him us as the fraud he is. All the negative comments on your video sadly reflect just hwo many people are still in denial about ths serious issue that is and will continue to affect us all - one way or another. Unfortunately people like Monckton and Plimer get a lot of media because they play to people's hopes that climate change is not real and their fears that it is...

[Charliemaxwellyoung]

'Kanadaisgay' have you got any idea how slow the movement of tectonic plates is? I know about the formation of the himalayas and I also know how long they took. Have you thought about the impact that 3mm annual sea level rise might have on flooding? Perhaps there is a correlation there that makes a little more sense.

[madclassic87]

Climate change deniers seek public debate because they know that it is the only way they can spout there lies and misrepresentations without being called up on it, as they would be in a written debate requiring sources.

[madclassic87]

It would be great if the "climategate" emails somehow showed the vast and disparate research confirming the AGW hypothesis to in fact be the most successful globally orchestrated hoax ever attempted...they don't. Search for 'Has 'Climategate' Been Overblown?' in google to see a balanced article in Time magazine about what they really tell us.

[tuanische]

Time Magazine. Your serious?

[Charliemaxwellyoung]

No, I'm peer reviewing your peer abuse.

If you want to further this argument rather than spread hatred you should have an open transparent conversation without throwing derision into the mix. This is supposed to be objective science. I wonder how many of you have looked through the objective science. What Monckton is quoting is very often not objective science. A claim of his is that Bangladesh is sinking which is why they are flooding more. Where is this from?There are no papers to back it.

[danspencer100]

I think you'll find that the AYCC doesn't support the use of market mechanisms (ETS/CPRS) to combat AGW...and are campaigning for a Fair Ambitious and BInding deal at Copenhagen none of which is found in the current ETS being proposed by elites in the Global North

[danspencer100]

To all those saying they are censoring him wasn't AYCC delegates trying to ask a question and Lord Monckton wouldn't answer???

[bazilb85]

Can I just apologise for this Lord.....he is a disgrace and his peerage should be removed as he is an insult to all British people and to all future Brits.

[tboggia]

Way to go AYCC! Great video!

[madclassic87]

Science isn't debated at a podium. It's debated in peer-reviewd journals. That debate has been won.

[madclassic87]

Lord Monckton is a proven serial liar and fraud. Good on them for taking the piss out of him. It's all he deserves.

[Charliemaxwellyoung]

If you want to be any less 'petty, childish and idiotic' than the 'fools' in this video - approach scientists rather than confronting the young people who are reacting in a moral, ethical and truly admirable way to the best of their and most of the world's scientists' knowledge. Lord Monckton says this is a two sided argument. If he truly believes that, he should listen to the 'other side' himself and approach those who have the mandate to impart the knowledge he refuses to reflect on.

[Grimeagle]

brilliant :) too bad some don't have a sense of humour

[DaniLeeMusic]

i love the guys behind him with the signs. you all are amazing :)
