Christopher Monckton, who once advised Margaret Thatcher, demonstrates via 30
equations that computer models used by the UN’s climate panel (IPCC) were
pre-programmed with overstated values for the three variables whose product is
“climate sensitivity” (temperature increase in response to greenhouse-gas
increase), resulting in a 500-2000% overstatement of CO2’s effect on
temperature in the IPCC’s latest climate assessment report, published in 2007.

demonstrates that later this century a doubling of the concentration of CO2
compared with pre-industrial levels will increase global mean surface
temperature not by the 6 °F predicted by the IPCC but, harmlessly, by little
more than 1 °F. Lord Monckton concludes –
“… Perhaps real-world climate sensitivity is very much below the IPCC’s estimates. Perhaps, therefore, there is no ‘climate crisis’ at all. … The correct policy approach to a non-problem is to have the courage to do nothing.”

“I was impressed by an hour-long
academic lecture which criticized claims about ‘global warming’ and explained
the implications of the physics of radiative transfer for climate change. I was
pleased that the audience responded to the informative presentation with a
prolonged, standing ovation. That is what happened when, at the invitation of
the President of our University, Christopher Monckton lectured here in
“To me the value of this paper lies in its dispassionate but ruthlessly clear exposition – or, rather, exposé – of the IPCC’s method of evaluating climate sensitivity. The detailed arguments in this paper, and, indeed, in a large number of other scientific papers, point up extensive errors, including numerous projection errors of climate models, as well as misleading statements by the IPCC. Consequently, there are no rational grounds for believing either the IPCC or any other claims of dangerous anthropogenic ‘global warming’.”
Lord Monckton’s paper reveals that –
In the past 70 years the Sun was more active than at almost any other time in the past 11,400 years.
