Monckton bunkum Part 5 -- What, MORE errors, my lord?

This will have to be the last video in the Monckton Bunkum series, because he's made so many mistakes in his presentations it will take at least three more videos to debunk them all, and I'm getting tired of having to correct him. So I've issued a challenge to Monckton fans in this video -- instead of finding things Monckton got wrong (which is easy), find something he actually managed to get right. It has to be something that contradicts the conclusion that CO2 is largely responsible for recent global warming. Now here's the scary part: You won't be able to simply repeat a Monckton claim and tell me it must be true, you have to check Monckton's source and verify it.

@geofftaylor70 =I'd be much more interested to hear you tackle the evidence put forth in 'The Great Global Warming Swindle'= I did that in the video titled Gore vs. Durkin. You'll find it in the Climate Change playlist. And I'd welcome any examples of media bias you can send me; that's exactly the kind of thing I like to debunk.

Actually, you'll notice that climate science denial tends to be layered.

1) The earth isn't warming!

2) The earth is warming but it's not due to CO2!

3) The earth is warming due to CO2, but it's not man-made (comes from volcanoes etc)

4) The earth is warming due to man-made CO2, but limiting emissions won't have an effect!

@ShmoothBall

5) The earth is warming due to CO2 from emissions, but it's not a bad thing.

great vid you have here

I to was taken in by his performance, It seems strange that potholer54 would require 5 parts to debunk him, even stranger still that he did not get to the truth. According to The Hamster Wheel Lord Monckton is "Comedy genius Sacha Baron Cohen in character". watch?v=w833cAs9EN0

It leads me to wonder if potholer54 did not realised this or he is just trying to keep the joke alive, maybe he should be informed.

Nice use of Beethoven's piano concerto in the background. potholer has good taste in music =P

7:26-7:46 I couldn't stop laughing. 'Vast resources' like a dictionary and an internet connection perhaps?

[newfrickinshow]

actually though the thing that stood out to me was from just common sense:

After four videos of "the earth isn't warming" he suddenly changes speed. "The earth is warming but so our other heavenly bodies." Wait, what? Didn't you just say that the world is cooling, but now you're saying the earth is warming as are other planets and moons in the system? Anybody else see a little problem with these claims?
