Monckton's cure for climate change: Put the scientists in jail

Christopher Monckton, leading voice for the denier delegation sponsored by the oil-backed Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, has been recorded telling youth delegate Brennan Garrett that the cure for the Kyoto protocol is to lock up all the worldโ€™s best climate scientists for โ€œfraudโ€ andย โ€œracketerring.โ€

Monckton, who won a certain amount of infamy in the 1980s by saying that the UK government should lock up and quarantine all people with HIV/AIDS, turns his attention in this video to how the same โ€œcureโ€ could be applied to scientists who are trying to get the worldโ€™s attention on climate change. When Garrett implies that it is actually the deniers who are โ€œnew,โ€ whoโ€™s efforts could be fatal for a huge portion of earthโ€™s population and whoโ€™s condition (denial) appears incurable, Monckton chooses to miss theย point.
