The dreadful George Monbiot, the climate change maniac who dominates 
the even worse Guardian's reporting of the subject appears to have 
shot himself in the foot today.

He did a feature of 10 prominent people attending the New York 
meeting including Christopher Booker, whose piece on the subject on 
Sunday I sent out as "We're all  mad - - - NO; not us - THEM"

Cleverly produced as 10 playing cards with (unflattering) portraits 
he the gives a mini-biography.    Since I heartedly agree with almost 
that these prominent people have said I've down-loaded the 
biographies and reproduce them below! [minimal editing! -cs]

Enjoy!

=========================
GUARDIAN 10.3.09
George Monbiot's top 10 climate change deniers

David Bellamy
TV presenter
David Bellamy has claimed that global warming is "poppycock", that 
"the global warmers are telling lies - carbon dioxide is not the driver"

Christopher Booker
Sunday Telegraph columnist
Booker writes a column in the Sunday Telegraph. It's filled with so 
many misleading claims about climate change

Melanie Phillips
Daily Mail columnist
Mel P (Genuinely Scary Spice) claims that "the theory that global 
warming is all the fault of mankind is a massive scam based on flawed 
computer modelling, bad science and an anti-western ideology . The 
majority of well-meaning opinion in the Western world believes a pack 
of lies and propaganda"

James Inhofe
Senator for Oklahoma
Inhofe is the senior Senator for Oklahoma. In 2003 he delivered a 
speech to the Senate called The Science of Climate Change, in which 
he said: "The claim that global warming is caused by manmade 
emissions is simply untrue and not based on sound science . With all 
of the hysteria, all of the fear, all of the phony science, could it 
be that manmade global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated 
on the American people? It sure sounds like it

Sarah Palin
Governor of Alaska
During her vice-presidential campaign, she embarrassed John McCain by 
maintaining: "I'm not one though who would attribute it [climate 
change] to being manmade." She has refused to classify the polar bear 
as an endangered species  [Could this be because it ISN'T?]

Christopher Monckton
Former adviser to Margaret Thatcher
Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, whose academic qualification is a 
classics degree, maintains that "politicians, scientists and 
bureaucrats contrived a threat of Biblical floods, droughts, plagues, 
and extinctions worthier of St John the Divine than of science."

Prof Pat Michaels
Cato Institute
  "When it comes to global warming, apparently the truth is 
inconvenient. And it's not just Gore's movie that's fiction. It's the 
rhetoric of the Congress and the chief executive, too"

Steve Milloy
Fox News columnist
Steve Milloy writes a weekly "Junk Science" column for Fox News, 
which he uses, among other topics, to pour scorn on studies 
documenting the medical effects of secondhand tobacco smoke and 
showing that climate change is taking place. His website claims to be 
campaigning against "faulty scientific data and analysis used to 
advance special and, often, hidden agendas"

Václav Klaus
President of Czech Republic
Klaus is the rightwing president of the Czech Republic. Climate 
change, he says, is caused "not by human behaviour but by various 
exogenous and endogenous natural processes (such as fluctuating solar 
activity)". He describes concern about climate change as a "new wave 
of dangerous indoctrination of the whole world" and says that "global-
warming alarmism is challenging our freedom, and Al Gore is a leader 
of that movement"

Sammy Wilson
Northern Ireland environment minister
Sammy Wilson's appointment as Northern Ireland environment minister 
appears to have been conceived as some sort of practical joke - but 
it's no longer very funny. Wilson maintains that environmentalism is 
a "hysterical pseudo-religion". Climate change is natural and "beyond 
our control", so "resources should be used to adapt to the 
consequences of climate change rather than King Canute style vainly 
trying to stop it
