The United Kingdom's Lord Christopher Monckton (former science advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher) claimed House Democrats have refused to allow him to appear alongside former Vice President Al Gore at a high profile global warming hearing on Friday April 24, 2009 at 10am in Washington. Monckton said that the Democrats rescinded his scheduled joint appearance at the House Energy and Commerce hearing on Friday. Monckton was informed that he would not be allowed to testify alongside Gore when his plane landed from Thursday afternoon.
According to Monckton, Representative Joe Barton (R-Texas) on the Energy & Commerce Committee, had invited him to go "head to head" with Al Gore and testify at the hearing on Capitol Hill Friday. But Monckton says that when his airplane from London landed in the U.S. on Thursday, he was informed that the former Vice-President had “chickened out” and there would be no joint appearance. Gore testified on Friday to the Subcommitte on Energy and the Enviroment's 4th day of hearings on the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. The hearing were held in the Rayburn House Office Building.
“Waxman knows there has been no 'global warming' for at least a decade. Waxman knows there has been seven and a half years' global cooling. Waxman knows that, in the words of the United Kingom High Court judge who condemned Gore's mawkish movie as materially, seriously, serially inaccurate, 'the Armageddon scenario that he depicts is not based on any scientific view,'” Monckton explained, speaking about Representative Henry Waxman (D-California), chairman of the committe. Monckton has previously testified before this House Committee in March.
It is obvious that the Democrats believe that if you tell a lie long enough (and refuse to allow any dissent), the "lie" might be believed.
