Robert Manne on Monckton’s plan for the Australian media
Posted by Tim Lambert on February 8, 2012 Over at the Monthly, Robert Manne writes about Monckton’s plan for a super-rich person to establish a Fox News for Australia. I thought we already had that in the Australian.
Monckton debunks Monckton
Posted by Tim Lambert on December 11, 2011 Peter Hadfield dissects Monckton’s response to Hadfield’s demolition of Monckton’s claims about climate science.

Did Monckton have breakfast with ABC chairman Maurice Newman?
Posted by Tim Lambert on July 21, 2011 Graham Readfearn writes about how Monckton is threatening the sue the ABC because he didn’t like Wendy Carlisle’s Background Briefing episode. This isn’t really that interesting, Monckton has also threatened to sue Al Gore, John Abraham, Scott Mandia, The Guardian, as well threatening to jail Rajendra Pachauri for fraud. None of these threats materialised. No,…

Monckton interviewed by Adam Spencer
Posted by Tim Lambert on July 9, 2011 Christopher Monckton was so annoying when interviewed by Adam Spencer that Spencer hung up on him before finishing the interview later on. The Australian was so impressed by Monckton’s performance that they posted a partial transcript. Moth at New Anthropocene corrects many of Monckton’s misrepresentations, so I’ll just cover what was in the transcript posted…
Monckton says that if you accept mainstream science then you are a Nazi
Posted by Tim Lambert on June 21, 2011 Here a screen shot from his talk. His comment on Garnaut’s words is “Heil Hitler”. Graeme Readfearn has the details. Update: Bolt throws Monckton under the proverbial bus.
Monckton uses a sock puppet
Posted by Tim Lambert on May 1, 2011 The Climate Science Rapid Response Team received a verbose query from Abu Ali Al-Hussain who oddly enough, sounded exactly like Christopher Monckton. I liked this bit from Monckton’s sock: The IPCC has been making long-term predictions of future climate states on the basis of modeling: yet its 2001 Third Assessment Report says that the climate…
