On a balmy Perth night they came in their hundreds from trains, buses, taxis
and even chauffer driven limousines. They filed quietly upstairs to the
registration desk outside the functions rooms at Perth's Parmelia Hilton hotel.
There was no advertising, just word of mouth, but one hour before the start
time the large hall was rapidly filling up. With half an hour to go, the area
was packed and people were queuing on the stairs.
They came to hear Lord Christopher Monckton, one of the world's chief climate
change sceptics. [Full

Global warming - "the worst
scientific scandal in history"
Martin Lehmann - 20 Jan 2010
"Global warming-at least the modern
nightmare version - is a myth. I am sure of it and so are a
growing number of scientists. But what is really worrying is that
the world's politicians and policy makers are not" -
David Bellamy, Daily Mail, July 9, 2004
Nor are the world's media. Maybe it's
because end-of-the-world stories make good headlines.
For some time now the believers have been
perpetrating the myth that the science of global warming is
settled.
"The scientists are virtually
screaming from the rooftops now. The debate is over! There's no
longer any debate in the scientific community about this",
trumpets the high priest of the global warming religion, Al Gore.
Well Al, then how about these scientists?
"I am a sceptic.. Global warming
has become a new religion" - Nobel Prize Winner for
Physics, Ivar Giaver.
[Warming fears are the ] "worst
scientific scandal in history...When people come to know what the
truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists"
- IPCC Japanese scientist Dr Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning
PhD environmental physical chemist.
"It is a blatant lie put forth in
the media that makes it seem there is only a fringe of scientists
who don't buy into anthropogenic global warming" - U.S.
Government Atmospheric Scientist Stanley B. Goldenberg of the
Hurricane Research Division of the NOAA.
"I am convinced that the current alarm over carbon
dioxide is mistaken... Fears about man-made man-made global
warming are unwarranted and are not based on good
science." - Physicist Dr. Will Happer, Professor at the
Department of Physics, Princeton University.
"Gore prompted me to start delving into the science
again and I quickly found myself in the sceptic camp... Climate
models can at best be useful for explaining climate changes
after the fact." - Dutch Meteorologist Hajo Smit, a
former member of the UN IPCC committee who reversed his belief in
man-made warming to become a sceptic.
"All those urging action to curb global warming need to
take off the blinkers and give some thought to what we should do
if we are facing global cooling instead." -
Geophysicist and former NASA astronaut, Dr. Phil Chapman.
"Earth has cooled since 1998 in defiance of the
predictions by the UN IPCC... The global temperature for
2007 was was the coldest in a decade and the coldest of the
millennium. which is why 'global warming' is now called
'climate change.'" - Climatologist Dr. Richard Keen of
the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the
University of Colorado.
The above is just a small selection of quotes and highlights
from the updated 2008 Senate Minority Report featuring over 650
international scientists dissenting from man-made climate fears.
The 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of
UN scientists (52) who authored the media hyped IPCC 2007 Summary
for Policymakers.
