Poor Ken, looks like he has to rely on Climate Conversation to direct some charity visitors to his failed blog of hatred & malice. Perhaps he should ask himself why those that have made the mistake of visiting in the past don’t return.

There was a brief piece on National Radio’s afternoon show with Jim Mora that I caught driving home yesterday. A panel member was describing the “absolutely charming” Lord Monckton whom he had spoken to, and told us of the sell out venues.

Apparently, the Northern Club had to turn away as many as it let in.

They also all agreed that shutting down debate was a bad thing, and that the interview on The Nation (TV3) was fair and reasonable.

I am sure this resulted in much mouth-foaming within certain elements of our society.

If anyone wants to see the Monckton interview on TV3′s the nation, I think it will come out on TV on Demand in a few days time.

As for the Auckland talk, there was quite a good turnout. I don’t think there were any surprises in his talk, since I have seen his presentations a few times on video.

There were quite a few interesting comments that Geoff Austin made. I was particularly interested in his remark that he had been involved in an IPCC review in his speciality area, namely clouds, and didn’t he agree with the IPCC’s conclusions
Despite this, the IPCC refused to take him off the list of contributing authors, or make a statement about this lack of agreement. Richard Lindzen has made similar comments on this IPCC practice.
