You know I never paid any attention to climate and politics before I saw a video on youtube showing the confrontation between Ben and his friends and Monckton. That video inspired me to do research on the AGW topic. Thanks Ben for putting a burr under my saddle!

.

I can now say the AGW believers have been conned.

@spreckt When all major American science organizations, including NASA, NOAA, and the National Academy of Sciences, as well as the Pentagon see man-made climate change (AGW) as a serious threat, I would say that putting your faith in a man like Christopher Monkton is a dangerous idea.

I understand your logic but your argument is what their hedging their bet on.

@spreckt I'm not sure who the "they" you're referring to is. Rejecting legitimate climate scientists for oil-funded showmen like Monkton is like rejecting doctors for snake oil salesmen to cure an illness. It may make you feel better for a moment, but the climate is still getting sicker.

As much as I depsise "PC-ness", I think its this very mentality that builds Jewish hatred for the rest of the world. Like any group, there are good ones and bad ones -- I have a great deal of respect for the ones who can continually and faithfully abide 613 commandements in their Torah that the Orthodox among them suggest is their burden for having been chosen. Some people see this as a master race mentailty, which it *can* be...but only by individual designs, I should think.

Its unfortunate, but definitely seems true. What's more unfortunate is that there are probably a number of his "own people" doing the using.

I think we all feel failed by this kid........he's being used and he doesn't even realise it....it is very sad indeed

[jdavz1803]

The Torah is undeniably one of the most important pieces of human history...I am no expert, but, I suspect that if you were actually reading more of it, you'd know why people are not thrilled about your stance. Ben, I've seen your other videos, where people try to set you up as Monckton's victim.Again, I'm not pleading authority here, but I honestly think that Torah Observent Jews would feel failed by you. I am NOT trying to poke fun at you, so please read me carefully. Shalom, bud. For real.
