This is Monckton's reply to the Herald Leader's editorial condemning Gooch for holding the hearing in the manner he did:

No sound science in climate-change alarm - Op-Ed - Herald Leader - Nov. 27, 2007
By Christopher Monckton
Kentucky's brave and hard-working coal miners, who do one of the toughest, dirtiest jobs in the world to keep our lights on, deserve better treatment than they received in the Nov. 15 Herald-Leader.

Its editorial unjustly criticized state Rep. Jim Gooch for inviting me to give expert testimony before a legislative panel on whether global warming is a global crisis.

Before the Herald-Leader ever again presumes to menace the jobs of thousands of Kentuckians on the basis of the pseudo-science behind the global-warming scare, it should be more careful with the facts.

The editorial implied that I was a paid lackey of coal. Yet I had told the legislature that I have no financial interest. The editorial cited a London zoologist as accusing me of "pseudo-scientific gibberish," yet the zoologist's paper published a correction from me demonstrating that it was the zoologist, not the mathematician, who had gibbered.

We wouldn't allow a group of neo-Nazis to publicly speak out in favor of murdering minorities; they would be charged with inciting violence. Yet it's perfectly legal to encourage actions that will lead to the deaths of millions of human beings, and countless animal species. Go figure.

Genocide doesn't cover what they are doing. Crimes against life?

Terracide?

Ultracide and Megacide are also descriptive, but not as accurate.

That's total insanity.

It seems to have worked in many instances...but with the our existence on the planet at stake, who will be working if there is a total collapse?

And we are near or past Peak Oil, now sliding down the backside of the curve, ever so slowly now, but picking up speed.

recieve your PhD in climatology?
