By Collin Maessen on commentClimate Changes, But Facts Don’t: Debunking Monckton
On the 19th of July in 2011 the National Press Club of Australia held a debate on climate change. In this video I will be analysing the claims Monckton made during the debate and if they are correct or not.
The reason I’m doing this is that Monckton challenges his critics to check his sources, or like he put it in this debate “to do your homework”. I’m going to follow him up on this to see if the scientific literature, and other available sources, corroborate what he’s saying.

Transcript
On the 19th of July in 2011 the National Press Club of Australia held a debate on climate change. It was a debate between Richard Denniss and Lord Christopher Monckton.
Dr Denniss is the executive director of the Australia Institute, and an adjunct professor with the Australian National University. During the debate he defended and represented the scientific consensus on global warming and climate change.
Christopher Monckton is a well known climate sceptic and Chief Policy Advisor to the Science and Public Policy Institute. As such he argued against the current consensus and gave his arguments for why he thinks the science is wrong.
I will be giving an analysis of the claims made by Monkcton during this debate with Dr. Denniss and check if they were correct or incorrect.
The reason I'm doing this is that Monckton challenges his critics to check his sources, or like he put it in this debate “to do your homework”.
...Please will you do your homework.
I'm going to follow him up on this to see if the scientific literature, and other available sources, corroborate what he's saying.
A full transcript of this video is available on my website RealSceptic.com. The transcript has been split up in to the different claims made by Monckton and are listed in chronological order.
On the page for each individual claim you will also find a full listing of all the sources I used for that particular section of the video.
I hope you will find this video interesting and informative.
