Lord Christopher Monckton lectures in Chicago yesterday

CHICAGO – Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, called for the abolishment of the United Nations climate committee and the indictment of the U.N.'s chief climate scientist for financial fraud.

Monckton was the featured speaker today at the closing luncheon of the Heartland Institute's Fourth International Conference on Climate Change in Chicago.

"While we are on the subject of the IPCC," Monckton told the conference, referring to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, "my policy for the future of that body is that it should be abolished."

Monckton objected to the IPCC misrepresenting scientific data to advance Penn State climatologist Michael Mann's "hockey stick" chart to argue that human activity is responsible for global warming, the core thesis of the IPCC-advanced theory of anthropogenic global warming, or AGW.

Utilizing a series of charts, Monckton objected to the statistical manipulations employed by the U.N. to make it appear human activity was the cause ofglobal warming in the last decades of the 20th century.

See a video clip of Monckton's Chicago lecture:

Reworking the data utilized by the IPCC in Mann's "hockey stick" graph, Monckton identified three distinct periods of global warming – 1860-1880, 1910-1940 and 1975-2001 – that he argued were naturally occurring cycles not resulting from human activity.

Monckton then called upon Rajendra Pachauri, the Indian railway engineer currently heading the U.N. IPCC, to withdraw the graph and publish the correction on the IPCC website, "Or, I am going to report you for criminal fraud."
