In this image from the Third Santa Fe Conference on Global and Regional Climate Change (October 30, 2011 – November 4, 2011), Mark Boslough attempted to explain basic high-school-level science to Christopher Monckton (whose stage name is the ‘3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley’). Boslough demolished Monckton’s false claims on stage, in front of an audience of scientists and climate science critics. Monckton (known as “Lord” Monckton by his admirers) has neither scientific training nor lordship credentials. Nevertheless, he is one of the Heartland Institute’s most distinguished ‘scientists’ and serves as a ‘Heartland Expert’ and Policy Advisor, Science and Public Policy Institute.
Boslough offered to give a presentation at Heartland’s Chicago meeting this month, but Heartland appears too afraid of him to let him speak. One wonders if they are worried that he will humiliate more of their ‘experts.’ Why can’t they defend their positions against his criticisms? If they are telling the truth, then what are they afraid of? NMSR invites Jim Lakely to explain why he is shielding Heartland’s best and brightest from being debunked.
