More than 3 million people have viewed his 2009 speech in the US giving details of the world “government” proposed by the UN in the draft Treaty of Copenhagen. The speech went platinum on YouTube in a week – the fastest-ever for a political speech. In West Virginia on Labor Day, 2009, more than 100,000 attended a miners’ rally which he addressed live on a mountain-top. Tea Party rallies at which he spoke in Washington DC and in North Houston attracted 40,000 and 15,000 respectively. His article on climate science in the Sunday Telegraph on 5 November 2006 attracted 127,000 hits in two hours, crashing the paper’s website. His speeches at the St. Andrews and Oxford Unions were followed by student votes defeating climate alarmism for the first time in Scotland and England respectively.  
Wordpress ranked his summary of the draft Durban climate agreement in December 2011 as having received more hits than any other among its 500,000 blog postings on all subjects worldwide that day. A video of his talk to the Mannkal Foundation in Australia in July 2011 became the most-watched video in Australia in February 2012. A video of his talk predicting the toppling of Australia’s then prime minister by climate-extremists a year before it happened became Australia’s most-watched video in September 2015. He has given talks on the climate in more than 30 countries. He holds the Meese-Noble Award for Freedom and the Intelligence Medal of the Army of Colombia for his climate research. http://www.lordmoncktonfoundation.com/blog

   • Randall Bell LLB, Geelong, Australia
A lawyer who manages legal cases against wind farms. Has read widely and applied a legal
mind to the evidence regarding man-made global warming. 
Former Chairman of the National Trust of Victoria;
Former board member of the Australian Council of National Trusts;
Former President of the Victorian Landscape Guardians Inc.
Former Chairman of the Australian Landscape Guardians Inc. 
Randall says:
“Initially I was in favour of wind farms but soon realised that our precious coastal landscapes
would be threatened. The Trust had classified landscapes especially coastal ones like Cape
Bridgewater since 1974. So I investigated further particularly the premise upon which
windfarm argument was based -AGW. Then I realised the fraud. 
“Dozens of Landscape Guardians groups were formed across Australia wherever a windfarm
was proposed. The Australian Landscape Guardians was formed to deal with the issue at a
federal level.”

• Reg Brownell, MEc Univ of Tasmania, Melbourne, Australia 
Businessman and economist, majoring in statistics, ex-director of several public companies. 
Reg was one of the group who established the Australian Landscape Guardians 15 years
ago.
“My initial interest in the global warming scam arose as a result of the damage being done to
our landscapes by wind turbines. I then discovered the damage done to individuals and
communities, plus bird and bat destruction by wind turbines. I was also appalled at the
economic waste/vandalism of renewable energy and the mountains of public funds being
wasted in so called research around climate change; the outright lies about the extent of
claimed reductions in CO2 emissions; the abuse of science and "scientific consensus",
including the evident widespread abuse of statistics, by many scientists and scientific bodies
like the Royal Society, CSIRO and leading universities. I am concerned about the absence of
balance in coverage by most of our media (in particular the ABC); the cowardice and/or
opportunism of most of our politicians; and the damage this is causing to standards of living
throughout the world, and its implications for communities still living in pre industrial
conditions.”

• Alan Clague, MBBS BSc FRCPA MTh, Brisbane, Australia
Ex-Director of Chemical Pathology at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.
Alan says “Recent human history and past geological history do not support changes in
atmospheric CO2 as a driving force for global warming. The relationship between global
warming and increased atmospheric CO2 is compromised by the fact that increased
temperature causes release of dissolved CO2 from oceans and other effects”.

Co-author of “We Are Growing Linear Algebra” (a textbook), and translator of physics books, 20+ technical articles on string theory and numerous semi-technical texts on climate change. 
Lubos says: “Initially I thought the global warming story was plausible. So I decided to "audit" these matters using the tools of a trained scientist. I was surprised by the inconclusive and noisy evolution of the global temperatures, their basically modest magnitude, the self-evident importance of many natural climate drivers, the uncertainty about the trends in the future, and the lack of proof of negative impacts on weather, the environment, or the economy. The ideology and special interests have been unmasked as clearer forces behind the climate panic”.

• Dr. W.C. "Rusty" Riese, Houston, USA B.S. Geology, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology M.S Geology, University of New Mexico Ph.D. Geology, University of New Mexico.  Former Senior Geologist, BP Americas,  
Dr Riese is an Adjunct Professor at Rice University and the University of New Mexico. For more than 40 years he worked in both the minerals and petroleum industries as a geologist, geochemist, and manager.  His teaching experience includes 31 years at Rice University where he developed the curricula in petroleum geology and industry risk and economic evaluation. Dr Riese’s publications have covered topics ranging from biogeochemistry, sequence stratigraphy to coal bed methane petroleum systems. He also holds numerous patents.  
Dr. Riese is currently based in Houston, Texas and is a member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Committee on Resource Evaluations.   He says:  
“Having been AAPG’s Distinguished Ethics Lecturer for two years, and having spent three years prior to that working on CO2 sequestration, I was compelled to look at the geologic record, the historical record, and the contemporary observational record of temperatures for the past 120 years. All of these pieces of research led to the same conclusions:  
1) the climate has evolved continuously throughout Earth’s history;  2) our current global temperatures are still lower than both the Roman and Medieval warm periods;  3) the past 120+ years have seen temperatures both rise and fall; and  4) none of the climate models, on which all these dire forecasts are based, has been able to accurately hindcast or forecast temperatures.  
“Geologists study the environments of deposition for sedimentary rocks, ie. we study climate through time. If geologists can’t comment on the historical record via our understanding of the rock record, then no one can.” 
But this was the killer revelation, from a UN insider: “One must free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has nothing to do with environmental policy anymore. …We redistribute the world’s wealth by climate policy.
