I was wondering when SPPI would finally figure out they need a blog. They started a sort of blog (no comments). Yesterday, in what appears to be the blog’s 12th post, Viscount Christopher Monckton of Brenchly posted Hitler Youth in Denmark – again, thus proving his earlier spoken words were not accidental.

Shhhssss… Don’t tell anyone. But I like to read the Viscounts writing just to learn new words.
I finally got around to reading Monckton’s August report at SPPI. I was disappointed to discover it contained only one unfamiliar word! That word is:
“seriatim“: “Latin for “in series,” is a legal term typically used to [...]

Monckton’s June Missive invokes “Godwin’s Rule of Nazi Analogies”.

Where are they all today, those bed-wetting moaning Minnies of the Apocalyptic Traffic-Light Tendency–those Greens too yellow to admit they’re really Reds?
So it began, Lord Christopher Monckton, Viscount of Brenchley’s colorful keynote speech at Heartland. Here’s are the highlights:
“.. bed-wetting moaning Minnies of the Apocalyptic Traffic-Light Tendency [...] Greens too yellow to admit they’re [...]

I have corresponded with M of B. After some discussion, this is the bullet point version of how Monckton developed his projections show in pink and lavender in this graph posted at ICECAP:
1) He posits a best estimate for the climate sensitivity expressed in terms of the psuedo-equilibrium temperature, Te, response to doubling of [...]

The Monckton poll has ended. In answer to:
Should I, Lucia, email Monckton to learn the basis for his claim about the IPCC’s current projections?”
The winning choice was:
“Yes. You, Lucia, should email Monckton and post his reply in full. (45%, 70 Votes)”
I emailed Monckton at the email address he previously used posting in comments [...]
