Sure, we know I am not a Time Lord, Monckton's claims about global warming are easily debunked as raving nonsense, and the House of Lords' is none-too-pleased about his Lordship's claims concerning them, but that's just the tip of the iceberg! Scientist Barry Bickmore has compiled a long, looong list of I am not a Law Lord, Monckton's doings in Lord Monckton's Rap Sheet... such as:
- he won the Falkland's War for Britain! I kid you not!
- Monckton claimed that he has developed a cure for Graves’ Disease, AIDS, Multiple Schlerosis, the flu, and the common cold
- Monckton lied about his personal circumstances to sell more of his Eternity puzzle, and admitted it. Later, he tried to talk his way out of the lie
- Monckton claimed to be a co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Al Gore and the IPCC because he supposedly sent the IPCC a letter pointing out something that needed to be corrected in a draft report
- Monckton cites scientific literature that actually refutes his points, or refers to papers in such a misleading way that the authors of the papers say that Monckton has misinterpreted their results
- he really wants the Medieval Warm Period to have been warmer than today, and will latch onto any piece of “evidence” that seems to support this. For example, he wrote that “There was little ice at the North Pole: a Chinese naval squadron sailed right round the Arctic in 1421 and found none.” He apparently got this claim from Gavin Menzies, but it has been shown to be complete garbage
- he made up data on atmospheric CO2 concentration and global mean temperature that he claimed were IPCC predictions
- he threatens to instigate academic misconduct investigations against professors who have exposed his misrepresentations
- He accused NASA of crashing its own satellite so it wouldn’t have to deal with more data that contradicts the scientific consensus about climate change
- On the Michael Coren show, Monckton butchered the history of the DDT ban so badly that he claimed JFK did things after he was dead
- In 1987 he suggested rounding up all AIDS-sufferers and isolating them for life
- Monckton suggested it might be a good idea to require scientists to have some kind of religious certification before being allowed to practice in a field like climatology
- Lord Monckton has repeatedly accused scientists and others of lies, fraud, and conspiracy to impose a Communist world government. He routinely calls people who disagree with him “bed-wetters,” “zombies,” and “Hitler Youth”
Goodness it just goes on and on and on....and it was written back in 2010 so there's even more now!
Oh, I am not a War Lord, Monckton; you make a sane world that little bit crazy...
