After watching several videos of the breakup of Beaufort sea Ice during the dead of winter, I decided to contact a leading ice expert, Walt Meier of the National Snow and Ice Data Center, for analysis and perspective. I mixed his comments in with the increasingly-on-the-same-page warnings from his fellow scientists around the country.
I’ll post our full conversation later in the week.
That image of Monckton with the headphone flipped over on one side was priceless.
The nice thing about Lord Bunkum is that you don’t have to wait very long before he contradict himself on record.
He pretends to love facts but his true love is listening to the sound of his own voice.
I like the video, but it gave too much prominence to Monckton and the denier argument at the start.
Given the way people more easily remember the start of a video, rather than the middle, it might be getter to start with a strong affirmation of the message of sea ice decline, before Monckton’s misinformation and distortion.
Repeating myths sometimes adds to their lifetimes.
I get it. there’s a line there somewhere, and in this case I just to just beat it into the ground what a lying sack this guy is. I think that’s what comes thru.
Reblogged this on things temporarily hidden.
Hmm…Funny…I watch Monckton’s graph at :29, (with the Imperial Margarine logo on the right), and I see a precipitous drop in sea ice extent right around 2001. Can’t the dude read “his own data”?
that’s how confident he is in the cluelessness of his audience.
Great job Peter, as always! I reblogged it and called it
“Lord Monckton icexuted” 🙂

Bit late to the party… but I’ve just minted a new Death Spiral video, with some surprises…
