I'm not sure I agree with Lord Monckton on his views that the global warming loonies want to set up a communistic world government. But I do believe that the West's obsession with "climate change" is looney. I just think goverments have invented the whole idea of "climate change" just as an excuse to tax us by introducing a whole new range of stealth "green taxes."
Lord Monckton, or Christopher Walter Monckton, 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, served as a science advisor to Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s. He believes the Left invented the theory of man-made Global Warming following its need for "a new flag to rally around" following the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Monckton supports the solar variation theory of global warming. In an apparent reference to British author Gavin Menzies, who wrote a book in 2002 about his belief that ships from the Chinese fleet of admiral Zheng He travelled to the Americas prior to Christopher Columbus' arrival in 1492, including travelling around the North Pole, Monckton once stated: "There was little ice at the North Pole: a Chinese naval squadron sailed right round the Arctic in 1421 and found none."
In the 1990s, Monckton also invented the Eternity puzzle, a geometric puzzle with a £1 millon prize. The puzzle consisted of filling a large almost regular dodecagon with 209 irregularly shaped smaller polygons. One estimate made at the time stated that the puzzle would probably take longer than the lifetime of the Universe to solve.
