CFACT is particularly grateful to Holger Thuss, Wolfgang Mueller and Michael Limburg of EIKE for their hard work in putting together this important conference.
Yay, Lord Monckton! The single most discredited commentator on climate change. The fact that people still pay to hear him speak after he has been proved to contradict both the science and himself is such a perfect example of the wrongheaded approach of climate change ‘sceptics’.
Go on – treat yourself to some objective and witty debunking of Monckton’s particular brand of nonsense.

How long have we heard the climate is warming and green house gasses will kill us? Since at least the 1980s, with no ill effects. The climate protesters look as healthy as can be, especially compared to their ancestors. Remember the “we’re being buried in garbage” garbage? Same nonsense, different century. Go scare yourself.
rebeccca, CO2 itself is not directly toxic unless it is in high concentrations but that was never the threat of greenhouse gasses. They change the climate which causes many harms to human health. Try to research what you are saying before you say it. Here is the EPA on harms to human health due to climate change.
https://19january2017snapshot.epa.gov/climate-impacts/climate-impacts-human-health_.html
But just google “climate change human health” and you will find many more reports like this.
As for the problem of garbage, that problem absolutely does exist. The issue has mainly been pushed into the oceans as so many people just dump refuse at sea. This is wreaking horrible damage on marine ecosystems and causing the deaths of literally billions of sea creatures.

It’s worth saying in passing, that the CO2 we have pumped into the atmosphere is doing huge damage to the oceans as well. Temperatures are rising (causing coral bleaching and destruction of habitat that way) but the oceans are also becoming less alkaline and more acidic as they directly absorb huge quantities of CO2 from the air. That change makes it harder for shelled creatures like plankton and coral to form their protective shells as the more acidic water dissolves the shells away. If they cannot build their shells, they die. If they die then the gigantic food chains that they support collapse.

Ocean acidification is nicknamed climate change’s “evil twin” but it does it’s damage out of our sight so its easy to ignore but it could be even more catastrophic for our oceans and the huge abundance of life they support, not to mention the food they supply humans, than climate change is for humans and nature on land.
You need to do some research. You apparently are unaware of the admitted scam over garbage started in the 1970s and that ended in the 1990s. It was on TV for all to see. The National Geographic and the Economist are left-leaning publications and put politics before science. As for coral reef destruction, coral reefs are living organisms and live and die due to all sorts of natural reasons. And pine trees die from natural disease and butterflies and bugs have large or small populations related to what part of the country they live in, not due to the ridiculous Rachel Carson theory. The globalists and Leftists want to redistribute the wealth from the earners to the non-earners because that is how they make money. You can go on the multiple Leftist websites and see their support for climate change, and see its political roots. You might try looking at all the political, unscientific textbooks being used in the schools today. Being green on the outside and red on the inside is not just a description of watermelons. It fits you Leftie propagandists to a t.
In what world is the Economist leftist? It advocates liberal free markets and capitalism. And what does it benefit “leftists” in countries like the U.K. and Japan to be giving their money away? If you really can’t see that there is a moral duty for rich countries to help poor ones, especially dealing with a problem that the rich countries caused, then you are clearly just selfish and don’t give a crap about anyone but yourself. Fortunately the US does not share this view in general and spends $23Bn in USAID and is also a large contributor of private charitable giving.
In the case of climate change, you have not presented any evidence to support your case, just unsubstantiated assertions that make no sense.
As for coral reefs, these are extremely important and long lived structured that support huge amounts of life nd biodiversity. They take decades or centuries to grow. When they die, the life that they support dies with them. The fact is we KNOW what is killing them. We can measure the warmer temperatures, we can observe the effect on the organisms that support the coral symbiotically and we can see their long term bleaching and death. The last link in my last comment shows directly how ocean acidification is killing shelled creatures, and they support gigantic food chains. If they go, the small fish that eat them go, so do the larger fish that eat those fish and so on up to marlin, tuna and sharks. Plus whales rely on phytoplankton directly. Phytoplankton are also badly effected by ocean acidification

Stop burying your head in the sand. It takes 2 minutes to find hundreds of papers and studies on this stuff from peer reviewed journals and reputable institutions.
Here, let me enlighten you: https://www.cpusa.org/article_tag/climate-change/ The Left has been busy infiltrating the publishing industry since the early 1900s at least. But play dumb.
I have no idea how that website is meant to demonstrate to me the left has taken over the media but, whatever.
If you want to understand why people with left of center political views would more readily accept that action is required on climate change then you need to consider how they think vs people with right wing political views.
First though, get out of your head that politicians invented climate change theory. It was first hypothesised in the 19th century and pretty much all science ever since has reinforced it, increasiyso since the 1970s as all other explanations for warming temperatures, aside from CO2, dropped out of the picture (largely as solar activity has not increased over the solar cycle since then, but temperatures have).
Right wing political theory says that the market is the best way to allocate resources, set prices etc.
Left wing politics says that collective action can solve problems that raw unfettered markets create.
Both are partly true.
When it comes to a problem on a global scale, which of these two camps is going to recognise this as a problem that their thinking is built to fix? It’s not going to be the right wing because in their view collective action breaks markets and misallocates resources. So right wingers reject the solutions to climate change, action to reduce emmissions, agree targets, agree standards, agree funding for adaptation, etc because these are collective measures.
And if they are really committed to prove they are doing the right thing, they actually go on to assert that there is actually no problem to be solved at all, happily disregarding overwhelming science in the process.
So that is why the left accepts climate change and the hard right doesn’t. It’s because the right refuses to accept the only solution to a huge global problem, global collective action, so it denies the problem exists at all.
The people on the Left think like George Lakoff has told them to… that is, they don’t think! They use their feelings instead of thinking. You proles need the rulers to do your thinking for you…You just need to react to it and put their ideas into action by organizing, demonstrating and propagandizing…I knew you were a hard-core Leftie.
Such nonsense. CO2 is NOT a pollutant, it is vital for plants and sea creatures that need shells,just to mention 2 issues. CO2 has been 10 times what the greenies are crapping in their pantsuits about now. All the computer climate income models fail on another point. The earth is not a glass-house, at night on a cloudless night, the earth radiates out excess heat. None of the models accept this. Anyway, if the models are so wrong for 20 years minimum, anyone with a brain can see that this is a climate income scam, a giant ponzi scheme where the crooks are dead when everyone finally wakes up!!!! Makes Bernie Madoff look like a ponzi angel.
Yay, Al Gore! The single most discredited commentator on climate change. The fact that people still pay to hear him speak after he has been proved to contradict both the science and himself is such a perfect example of the wrongheaded approach of climate change fear-mongers.
There…. fixed it for you.
