Country99TV EXCLUSIVE — One of the world’s most prominent, and controversial, climate change skeptics has been in New Zealand this past week.
Lord Christopher Mocnkton, the 3rd Viscount of Brenchley, is here as part of a world lecture tour promoting climate change denial.
Country99TV reporter Benedict Collins met Christopher Mocnkton in Auckland, and while the Viscount might not believe in global warming, it didn’t take long for the interview to heat up.

WW might prefer to view the(Australian) National Press Club Address by President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus for a calmer demolition of the anthropomorphic global warming (AGW) theory.

Hi there Susan and David,
I just found a critical review of both arguments.
It is titled “Global Warming Controversy”
http://www.sciencescene.com/Environmental%20Science/E%20X%20T%20R%20A%20%20%20%20C%20R%20E%20D%20I%20T/Global%20Warming/Wikopeda%20-%20Global%20warming%20controversy.htm
It doesn’t answer our questions but you may find the over view rather refreshing to read for the simple fact that it presents each side of the argument in a neutral manner.

Well what a total dissapointment WW.
This was a great chance to actually hear what Chris Monkton had to say, instead we got a journalist looking to make a name for himself by trying to discredit him, in my eyes he failed.
People would be better off listening to the Leighton Smith interview where he is given respect and let speak, sure Leighton is of the same view as Monkton, and me for that matter, that the whole thing is a scam, but listen to what he has to say, do your own research based on that, and then draw your conclusions, that is not going to happen when a journalist in nappies shows a total lack of respect.
Again nough said.
