Despite video evidence, Christopher Monckton stated in an interview yesterday with Associated Press:
"It was not I who called them Hitler Youth. It was three Germans and a Dane in the audience."
It would appear that a more appropriate title than "climate denier" for Monckton, might be "reality denier." For Monckton to now deny making the comment at the Americans for Prosperity event is bizarre, since the video below shows him saying "Hitler youth" twice, and he has since admitted to making the statement repeatedly on camera (including in my own interview with him the next day). If anyone still questions that Monckton has a serious credibility problem, here is yet mor evidence how far he is willing to bend the truth. He is truly a denier's denier.
Here's the video (again) of Monckton calling young climate change campaigners the "Hitler youth":
After lying to Associated Press about his Hitler youth comments, Monckton then proceeded to compare the climate activists to Adolf Hitler's fascist army, saying the activists were attempting to stifle free speech, using tactics "last seen here when the Nazis occupied Denmark."

* "There is no evidence that any climate data have been tampered with.
* There are at least three other independent institutions, including NASA and NOAA, whose temperature data show similar warming trends.
* Hundreds of independent scientists have been studying the physics of climate science for the last half century and have amassed an overwhelming amount of evidence that human-caused global warming pollution is warming the planet.
* 2000 - 2009 was the warmest decade on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization and NOAA.
* The concentration of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere is the highest it's been in at least the last 800,000 years.
* Global carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels increased 20% from 2000 to 2006 and are now more than 8 billion tons of carbon per year."
We also know that every major national academy of sciences, including America's, as well as thousands of scientists involved with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and scores of other scientific institutions agree that global warming is a clear and present danger and that we must take action to cut emissions.
"Radical ideologues misrepresenting the contents of stolen emails do not change these basic facts."
It is also the home of Steve McIntyre and friends, who have carefully reviewed the work of some of the world's top global warming climate researchers, and found major problems.
Mr. McIntyre and his friends are still seeking the release of publically funded scientific research data from scientists around the world. The failure of the climate research community to release their raw data, analysis, and computer model programs is one of the biggest ticking time bombs in the Climategate Scandal.
No raw data equals no science. Perhaps even the national government of Canada can be proded into making this point in the international arena.
Evolve & adapt or perish is the real dillema facing the human race.

Any questions?
Pity we didn't see this type of enthusiasm from Democrats and Progressives during the summer at Health Insurance meetings
agw supporters think that opposing views should be stifled, data destroyed, free speech limited, science manipulated, and scientific method rejected in favor of consensus.
when did science fear questioning from opposing points of view? oh yea when galileo was alive.
In an interview with London’s The Sun, Al Gore... Gore reveals his new emphasis is no longer to claim that “the polar ice caps” are melting — in the face of record ice mass at the cooling South Pole — but that “the North Polar ice cap” is doing so. So possibly this adaptive creature will begin speaking about the “hemispheric warming crisis”?
the fact that the magnetosphere is in declination, as evidenced by the south atlantic anomyly, and allowing more radiation to strike the earths surface.
finally if you compare the number of reporting stations which in 1850 totaled a few hundred from new england to old europe, and aboard ships travelling from america to europe, to current stations which are located mainly in dense urban ares filled with concrete, you cannot create a unified global temperature set.
Monckton made a buffoon of himself recently by misrepresenting IPCC data in a letter to the NYTimes. Prevarication, you know what that is? He is a serial abuser. And you support him.
"Because your side basically supports Moamar Kadhafi and Hugo Chavez and Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. And you blindly carry their banner."
no i think not. since when does any scientist in any field destroy data, as east anglia has admitted doing, to further their AGENDA be they right or wrong? this alone requires all of us to be skeptical of their findings. have you read the emails? i have.
anything less is not reason but blindness. and science does not follow blindly. we question.
And the answer to Monckton's reality denial seems to be thus: The right would rather support someone with a history of lying, than al.gore.
How can anyone argue with that?
The real question is why reputable media outlets would give them airtime!!!
