Lord Monckton: "What is interesting to me is that you don't know any of the facts about the climate at all, and yet you are wanting to change it in a particular direction. Can you explain why?"

Lord Monckton: "If you were to discover that everything I said to you about climate, that we've had global...cooling for 9 years, that we've had less hurricane activity recently than at any time in the last 30 years, that there has been no change in the extent of global sea ice, or virtually no change for the last 30 years--would you think that therefore the organization that you believe in (Greenpeace) has mislead you?"

It's rather ironic that the same people who like to giggle at the religious values of Christians are so willing to believe in what amounts to a tentative,trumped up supposition.

Seems the AGW Church and the 'religious' churches have something in common. Dubious evidence.
Just giggling at the tentative, trumped up 'superstitions'.
