Having arranged the Newcastle leg of Lord Monckton’s Australian tour and listened to his exposition of the failings of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change [IPCC] science it astounds me that carbon dioxide is still being described as a pollutant by the increasingly shrill advocates of anthropogenic global warming [AGW].

Ridiculing Lord Monckton avoids the dubious science behind climate change.

As well as the litany of mistakes, subterfuges and potential corruption by the IPCC two new peer reviewed papers show that the carbon cycle has only negligible sensitivity to temperature change [Frank et al, 2009 Nature 463] and that the human emissions of CO2 have negligible effect on the climate as measured by the fraction of human emissions of CO2 staying in the atmosphere which has not changed since 1850 [Knorr, W; 2009 GRL 36]
