Video: Global-warming skeptic, like, totally pwn3d by true believers
posted at 10:03 pm on December 15, 2009 by Allahpundit
A late-evening palate cleanser via Breitbart. At first it annoyed me, then I laughed at the sheer self-satisfied stupidity of the prank, and then I admired it as emblematic of the flame-war level of discourse between the two sides. Monckton himself broke Godwin’s law the other day when confronting a few disciples of Gaia, and of course we’ve seen scientists from East Anglia call skeptics A-holes on British national television, so why not take it in the direction of “kick me” signs on people’s backs? Exit question: How should Monckton retaliate? With water balloons, or the old “order 50 pizzas to their house” gag?

Step away from that can of creamed corn, Geo!
HornetSting on December 16, 2009 at 12:39 AM
You realize that Iceland is a volcano, right?
single stack on December 16, 2009 at 12:40 AM
There’s a volcano under the north pole, but you know, it must be cow farts in Kansas that cause the ice to melt sometimes. Duh, what else could it be?
Ronnie on December 16, 2009 at 12:42 AM
Good Point. The idea is one thing but they have been slow on implementation. I might invest in Corn Cob futures; get in on the ground floor of this burgeoning growth industry.
Geochelone on December 16, 2009 at 12:42 AM
Has Ann increased the population of the world? Does Ann recycle condoms and tampons? These are questions that must be answered before she goes to her next mainstream GREEN riot.
MeatHeadinCA on December 16, 2009 at 12:43 AM
Bleh. Please, no more questions like that about Ann.
HornetSting on December 16, 2009 at 12:46 AM
LOL. I forgot. The Jolly Green Giant is a Ho Ho Ho when he gets his niblets off.
Geochelone on December 16, 2009 at 12:47 AM
Wow! They kicked his a$$, didn’t they? The power of “the science is settled” at work!
ya2daup on December 16, 2009 at 12:47 AM
Does Ann exhale? Isn’t this hypocritical?
Ronnie on December 16, 2009 at 12:48 AM
The Jolly Green Giant is Tiger’s wingman.
HornetSting on December 16, 2009 at 12:49 AM
Yes, I heard Tiger scores better with a more flexible shaft; more recoil.
Geochelone on December 16, 2009 at 12:52 AM
But, even the Green Giant knows to stop at three ho’s.
HornetSting on December 16, 2009 at 12:53 AM
I find the vast amount of GREENies hypocritical…
MeatHeadinCA on December 16, 2009 at 12:53 AM
A substantial fraction of the population is shit-faced drunk?

He really knows how to “Hit the Green.”
Geochelone on December 16, 2009 at 12:55 AM
We aren’t talking about the Kennedys here…
MeatHeadinCA on December 16, 2009 at 12:56 AM
I don’t know if it has been mentioned yet, but the number 350 represents 350 parts per million of carbon. It is an arbitrary target that global warming luddites are now campaigning for. The thinking is that ecological apocalypse will ensue should carbon levels in the atmosphere get much higher than 350 ppm. The last time the world saw that carbon level was 1989. One would assume that in order to achieve it again economic development would not only have to come to a grinding halt, but contract considerably. If all industrial carbon emissions stopped today, it would probably take 40 years for carbon levels to drop to 350 ppm.
Folks, these people and their policy prescriptions are stark, raving nuts. There’s no need whatsoever to argue about e-mails, peer review, or the science.
Mike Honcho on December 16, 2009 at 12:58 AM
Ordering 50 pizzas is not appropriate.
He ought to have 50 Carbon Credits sent to the AGW’s COD!!!

OMG. Freaking Awesome. This can’t be topped.
Geochelone on December 16, 2009 at 12:59 AM
Typical radical marxist tactic we’ve seen so often before: When debate is out of the question, simply ridicule the opposition. In this particular case, the ridicule was hardly ridicule at all, but a very childish prank. I mean, why didn’t they just ask him if his refrigerator was running while they were at it?
long_cat on December 16, 2009 at 1:00 AM
Seriously, did Princess leave or not? If she left me again, I’m going to have to go stalk down a fresh piece of meat…
MeatHeadinCA on December 16, 2009 at 1:02 AM
I imagine that it’s tough for you to watch, but you gotta admit that The Wicked Witch of the West got what she deserved.
ya2daup on December 16, 2009 at 1:03 AM
Lindsay Lohan is a fresher piece of meat than your ‘princess’. Just sayin’.

And that’s saying a lot!
“Princess? Princess? Where are you, Princess?”

MeatHeadinCA on December 16, 2009 at 1:06 AM
Certainly better than dating a vegetable. BTW, the Green Giant has a pretty big stalk; so I have heard.
Geochelone on December 16, 2009 at 1:07 AM
I watched a show about a pack of vicious lions that attacked some annoying hyenas… wow, déjà vu, anyone?
MeatHeadinCA on December 16, 2009 at 1:08 AM
hehe
MeatHeadinCA on December 16, 2009 at 1:09 AM
Sorry that was Jacking the Bean Stalk. My bad.
Geochelone on December 16, 2009 at 1:10 AM
Is that where Simplesimon and Vox were this evening? Should we send flowers?
HornetSting on December 16, 2009 at 1:10 AM
Send the carcass of one of their comrades… isn’t that what hyenas eat?
MeatHeadinCA on December 16, 2009 at 1:12 AM
Vox is on top tonight. They take turns, Vox get the odd days, SS gets the evens.
Geochelone on December 16, 2009 at 1:13 AM
I hate to break your heart, seeing as how you’ve gone all squishy for Ann, but I recall reading a post of hers lately in which she said that she’s moving to Texas.
ya2daup on December 16, 2009 at 1:15 AM
I heard that too… *sniff, sniff*
I hope she sends me her picture before she goes… something to keep me warm at night.
MeatHeadinCA on December 16, 2009 at 1:16 AM
She might pull a Carrie Prejean and send you a vid of her burlesque femininity; but you might have to get to know each other better, then again maybe not.
Geochelone on December 16, 2009 at 1:20 AM
One never knows with those California womyn(s?)
MeatHeadinCA on December 16, 2009 at 1:21 AM
If you need roach repellent, call an exterminator, Meat.
HornetSting on December 16, 2009 at 1:24 AM
Lets hope you have plenty of solutions; and some topical ointments too.
Geochelone on December 16, 2009 at 1:24 AM
I just hope I won’t have to bomb the whole place
Ask Sting what “solution” she has for one that likes to scream too much…
MeatHeadinCA on December 16, 2009 at 1:26 AM
Vox is big fan of months that have 31 days — it makes New Years really special.
ya2daup on December 16, 2009 at 1:27 AM
I am afraid to ask. You and Sting have corrupted delicate sensibilities. *whistling while looking up at ceiling*
Geochelone on December 16, 2009 at 1:28 AM
I’ve heard Princess is a fan of months that she isn’t completely inebriated…
MeatHeadinCA on December 16, 2009 at 1:29 AM
;-)
MeatHeadinCA on December 16, 2009 at 1:29 AM
Goodnight, HA
MeatHeadinCA on December 16, 2009 at 1:40 AM
Goodnight HA, Hornet and Meat.
Geochelone on December 16, 2009 at 1:44 AM
Allah, how about posting the video of Lord Monckton’s appearance on Beck where he explained that even if we believed the lie of “global warming”, even the most extreme carbon cuts are not only impossible, but wouldn’t make a difference.
That said, this particular video further proves the point that the lying SOBs on the alarmist/NWO side can’t have an honest debate about the science (which, as we know, is something Gore REFUSES to ever do)… They simply sabotage someone and don’t let him respond.
At any rate, I’m less concerned with the believers/non-believers situation, than I am with the fact that powerful bloggers like AllahPundit don’t recognize the true motivations behind all of this. HINT: “New World Order”, “Global Governance”, “population control” aren’t terms invented by us “deniers”, they’re words used by people at the UN and mainstream world leaders.
RightWinged on December 16, 2009 at 1:49 AM
:lol Those jokers think they are acting cool, but they look lame and goofy. Monckton looked better, but he was debating
the brainwashed who don’t want to hear the truth.
How to get even? Use the internet against them…get folks
who know how to use video and expose these clowns like ACORN were exposed. It would drive these libs nuts…..;)
dec5 on December 16, 2009 at 2:15 AM
There was nothing funny, or enlightening, from the creepy kids in that video clip.
Lord Monckton wasn’t pwn3d.
The psychos merely revealed their lack of substance and immaturity, which could account for their scientific ignorance and lack of grasp of the facts, and their childish, and rude behavior.
Lord Monckton already put them in their place. Sneaking stickers on his back doesn’t undo the damage to their creepy, baseless claims and fraud.
William2006 on December 16, 2009 at 2:31 AM
I saw about 10 seconds, and that was enough. 10 Seconds of my life I won’t get back so I could watch idiots that wouldn’t last FIVE seconds in the Army and think pranks older than a Leave it to Beaver episode are funny. It’d be hilarious if the guy found out, turned around and slapped the pink off that little punk’s face.

Childish people, who have childish thoughts, and do childish things, and like a child think they are ever so cute.
dugbru on December 16, 2009 at 3:20 AM
I say we all head for the 350 WEBSITE and send them our 2-Cents and tell them what crap they are.
Comparing them to Hitler Youth really isn’t that far fetched seeing how they want to create TYRANNY in the same of saving Polar Bears.
http://www.350.org/contact
What ticks me off about their 350 Videos is that the media showed their protests in a POSSITIVE LIGHT almost as heroes, yet they call us the “TEA-Baggers” “Astroturf” and “Angry Mobsters”
rednebulastudios on December 16, 2009 at 3:33 AM
The adults are in charge…
fitzsweetpea on December 16, 2009 at 3:46 AM
When he spoke to the member of Greenpeace, he was respectful and kind. He asked and answered the questions he was given, as well as gave the person he was speaking with time to answer his questions.
These youths were downright rude, immature and decidedly disciples of ‘GW’.
He went on to speak about how the infamous hockey stick was anything but legitimate, but the youth did not want to hear that, they merely were interested in who paid him to be there. And, OFCOURSE, since it was Exxon/Mobil, then all of his information MUST be irrelevant.
We honestly do need the adults to be in charge. Otherwise, the youth, or future of the planet, really is in trouble, and it has nothing to do with GW.
siwrcw03 on December 16, 2009 at 5:16 AM
Ah yes, maturity at its best. This is their argument? Putting goofy stickers on someone’s back? What a bunch of twits.
Ricohoc on December 16, 2009 at 5:16 AM
My God, what a bunch of dumbasses.

Why no mention of expanding Nuclear Energy? That would be a cleaner way to go in less than five years. Hell, the French are eighty percent nuclear and they don’t bathe or use deoderant………….

Pretty gunny stuff.

Duh, first cup of coffee, fingers not working yet.
conservnut on December 16, 2009 at 7:04 AM
The spectacle was absurd, to be sure. Also absurd to me is the amount of attention that Monckton and Gore both are getting in the AGW debate, as a result of their personalities, rather than on the basis of any expertise (of which neither apparently has a modicum).
oakland on December 16, 2009 at 7:04 AM
Monkton is a guy Id like to hang out with and have few drinks with..he really is witty…”ill give you my address and you can send me a check if you like….” You go Monk
malkinmania on December 16, 2009 at 7:08 AM
This is the height of global warming intellectualism.
drjohn on December 16, 2009 at 7:22 AM
Monckton would make you look stupid, not that you need any help…why doesn’t one of your heroic scientists challenge him to a debate? Monckton has a longstanding offer to debate ALBORE..I bet he would be happy to debate Mann, or any of those other wacko ‘scientists’
Monckton would wipe the floor with them.
right4life on December 16, 2009 at 7:47 AM
Howzabout some good old-fashioned Yo Mama jokes?

Of course it’s kids, these kids know nothing else but climate change, it’s been thrown at them since they were babies. Of course, they still are acting like a bunch of babies. Good Lord.

In the arctic where the icepack is up again this year or the antarctic where the ice pack is up again this year?

Wow. He may have facts and reason on his side, but they definitely stuck signs on his back! Now I believe in climate change!

Anybody want to guess an over/under on the number of science classes this little tard has taken, that doesn’t start with the word “Political?”
MNHawk on December 16, 2009 at 8:41 AM
How 5th grade…. next thing you know they’ll be doing overhead announcements for Mike Hunt…. Mike Hunt please report to the information desk, Mike Hunt.
roux on December 16, 2009 at 8:43 AM
Monckton’s main point is that what the eco-commies want to do is control human activity to the point of sending us back to the dark ages while preventing dark-skinned people the opportunity to improve their lives. He points out the endemic racism and fetish with totalitarianism inherent in eco-commies. I could give a flying f#ck that he isn’t one of “oakland”‘s precious sciencytists.
And yes, I do believe greenies want people who live in the developing world to live in poverty and filth. Prove me wrong, eco-commies.

ya2daup on December 16, 2009 at 9:23 AM
stupid me.. i thought “pwned” might mean these dimwits had won a debate, or made an intelligent point. Nope, they stuck a sign on his back. Do these idiots think they are scoring points with anyone? They make their movement look like a joke.
tflst5 on December 16, 2009 at 9:24 AM
Keep an eye out for the new daytime soap, As the World Burns.
It stars a family of polar bears that struggle with the horrifying dilemna of having to choose who must be thrown over the side of their shrinking iceberg to save the rest.
Very sad.
shick on December 16, 2009 at 9:25 AM
I can think of several that would be appropriate.
For example,
HOT AIR: Got My Fill!
or,

or,

. . . Just Not ME!
or,
AM I GORING YOU?
or,
THE “DATA” ARE

IN HETERODOX
or,
I’M OUT OF MY

or,
NOT MY FOOTPRINTS!
or,
I’M POMPOUS …
and PROUD OF IT!
and, finally:
ASK ME ABOUT MY
BUMPER STICKERS!
Trochilus on December 16, 2009 at 9:58 AM
I guess I wouldn’t be too upset about some 38″-chested beta male putting a sticker on my back. While he’s there, he can read the t-shirt:
Ask me about my retirement plan; it involves an incredible amount of stockpiled ammo and Liberals.
Doorgunner on December 16, 2009 at 10:14 AM
I was speaking to Gaia last night and she is really pissed. She expects more from her adherents than grammar school stunts. She wants them to come home, join the dinosaurs, and become part of the earth’s never-ending process of oil production. They should comply with the wishes of their goddess.
yobobbyb on December 16, 2009 at 11:08 AM
I remember being young and naive too. Someday these “youth” will have to grow up and get jobs. Most employers now do background checks that search for YouTube videos, etc. Good luck with that.
JeffB. on December 16, 2009 at 12:02 PM
Sadly, this is not the dumbest climate video I have seen.

This idiot actualy believes that polar bears live in the antarctic.
sonofdy on December 16, 2009 at 12:15 PM
So, I made the mistake of going to the bit.ly site that they supposedly got the “facts” about Lord M.’s “payments” from big oil and all I got was this lame-@ss blog that claims some organization is receiving the money from ExxonMobil. The problem is that Lord M. isn’t even on the board of this particular organization. What a bunch of enviro-dingus’
mizflame98 on December 16, 2009 at 1:16 PM
None of them have the slightest bit of integrity when it comes to making false accusations against anyone who refuses to accept the “consensus” view, claiming that this or that person is a tool of big oil.
For example, there are innumerable sites where Richard Lindzen, the holder of the Alfred Sloan Chair of Meteorology at M.I.T. is regularly attacked as a tool of ExxonMobil, an accusation which is utterly baseless and without any merit whatsoever.
When his attackers are not out and out lying about such a connection, the attack amounts to some toolbox alleging that a group whose work he is somehow loosely connected to is “in turn” funded by the oil company. In other words, stupid and meaningless. These folks are incapable of making an argument against his science claims, or against the knowledge that Lord Monckton has, so a pretend personal attack is all they have to go on, one they usually just make up.
Trochilus on December 16, 2009 at 1:44 PM
Hilarious! As were the comments!
4shoes on December 16, 2009 at 1:56 PM
You would think they would hold this summit somewhere in the Equator during peak summer? Not so smart to hold a global warming summit in Denmark during winter. Losers.
JayJay123 on December 16, 2009 at 2:17 PM
Ok, so we need “real solutions”. Japan has done the most recent study, a 25% cut in CO2 (meaningful, but not sufficient I think we can agree) would require residential CO2 production to be cut 50% to avoid killing the economy.
If you give half the annual usage of heating fuel to my area; people will freeze to death. Sorry, but a lot of people die; that’s simply what happens if you enforce this plan. And from the studies I’ve seen, to cut CO2 emissions and stop the rise, we need a cut of over 75%; otherwise we’ll still have CO2 increase, just a bit slower. Clearly we need a significant cut for a solution.
And since the US uses more CO2 now per capita, we’ll need something on the order of a 90% cut to have a real solution.
So, now for the big question:
Do we kill a million or so Americans due to forced freezing, try a “feel good” solution that doesn’t do anything useful for CO2 but costs the economy a huge amount, or admit that maybe the solutions as they stand now are worse than the problem?
gekkobear on December 16, 2009 at 2:18 PM
Don’t even pretend that you know more about the science than some of us.
Do your little TV programs show that this is what’s happened over the past 7 years?
blink on December 16, 2009 at 2:32 PM
He’s misinformed obviously… polar bears live in the arctic… with penguins… both species are capable of using vending machines… they toast each other with Coca-Cola… saw it on one of AnninCA’s “programs on TV about the melting that’s happening”

Wow that was so “Awsome Dude” but you know what. I would be more impressed if you got video of your snarky little ass pissing in the fuel tank of Al Gore’s Private Jet, or at least post one of your childish little signs on one of the hundreds of stretch limos that your “Climate Change” “Global Warming” freaks that are attending this conference are using to get around town.
