Global Warming Fraud - "Our Side Is Winning This Argument, Big Time"

Lord Christopher Monckton is one of the leading heroes of the snowballing pro-science, anti-AGW movement (he has famously called out the "traffic light environmentalists" - they are green because they are too yellow to admit that they are red).

In this video from a few days ago, Monckton names eight of the Climategate scientists from the leaked CRU emails.

What makes the video so powerful is not just Monckton's compelling take on the science of global temperature. It is that Monckton calls the Climategate scientists liars and criminals and anyone who still follows their fraudulent prophecies dupes and fools.

Brian Micklethwait of Samizdata says:

You can feel that most crucial of propaganda processes happening with Climategate: the reversing of the burden of proof. Unfair to all the fraud detectives (Watts, McIntyre, and the rest of them, including Monckton himself) though it undoubtedly was, those noble toilers, until the Climategate revelations erupted, had to prove everything, in defiance of the default position. Their every tiny blemish was jumped upon. Their major claims were ignored. Now the default position is slowly mutating into: It's all made-up nonsense. And the burden of proof is shifting onto the shoulders of all those who want to go on believing in such ever more discredited alarmism. In short, our side is winning this argument, big time.

From the Samizdata comments:

I would think that if they don't sue him for this, and win, it's pretty much game over.
