Top Ten Climate Change Deniers

An International List of Climate Change Deniers

In playing card form for easy understanding by Neocon’s and other assorted Bushies.

This one is fun. The list includes some Brits who’s names won’t be as familiar as the likes of Palin but they are just as deluded and/or bought and paid for by the people that don’t care what condition they leave thew planet in.

Christopher Monckton
Former adviser to Margaret Thatcher:

Complete whack job with zero scientific background.

He has also claimed that, among other unlikely feats, he was responsible for winning the Falklands war. His grand statements about climate science and his own credentials have earned him the nickname among some environmentalists of Viscount Monckhausen.

A couple of opinion writers working for the British right wing press make the list:

Melanie Phillips
Daily Mail columnist

She claims that “the theory that global warming is all the fault of mankind is a massive scam based on flawed computer modelling, bad science and an anti-western ideology … The majority of well-meaning opinion in the Western world believes a pack of lies and propaganda”. She has also maintained that “carbon dioxide forms a relatively small proportion of the atmosphere, most of which consists of water vapour.”

I am not familiar with her wafflings but they sound like fun. Apparently she wrote an anti Islam book with the disgusting tile Londonistan. Interesting how many Climate change deniers are also xenophobic- think teabagger. The next one is very well known:

Christopher Booker
Sunday Telegraph columnist

Booker writes a column in the Sunday Telegraph. It’s filled with so many misleading claims about climate change, evolution, asbestos, speed cameras and the European Union that it would take an encyclopedia to document them.

This guy is wrong on just about everything- he is the British answer to David Brooks.

The only entry in the list that saddened me was David Bellamy. I used to sit glued to the TV whenever one of his biology documentaries came on. He was not only an expert but he also possessed a boundless enthusiasm for the subject and an ability to communicate to any audience, literally from pre school children to the top academics across the sciences.

He is also the one person on the list actually qualified to hold a view on the subject with both impeccable academic and work based credentials. He has also done a lot for the environment, often putting himself at some risk in the process. Originally he was on board with the mainstream view but seemed to have a sudden conversion to the dark side around 2004.

Ah well, life is full of dissappointments.
