Washington Democrats in the House of Representatives have refused to allow debate during a global warming hearing today. They don’t want Gore humiliated.
UK's Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, claimed House Democrats have refused to allow him to appear alongside former Vice President Al Gore at a high profile global warming hearing on Friday April 24, 2009 at 10am in Washington.
Monckton told Climate Depot that the Democrats rescinded his scheduled joint appearance at the House Energy and Commerce hearing on Friday. Monckton said he was informed that he would not be allowed to testify alongside Gore when his plane landed from England Thursday afternoon.
“The House Democrats don't want Gore humiliated, so they slammed the door of the Capitol in my face,” Monckton told Climate Depot in an exclusive interview. “They are cowards.”
“The Democrats have a lot to learn about the right of free speech under the US Constitution. Congressman Henry Waxman's (D-CA) refusal to expose Al Gore's sci-fi comedy-horror testimony to proper, independent scrutiny by the House minority reeks of naked fear,” Monckton said from the airport Thursday evening.
The reason why Henry Waxman (lower picture) as well as other Washington Democrats don’t want Al Gore’s junk science exposed is because it is the basis of their cap-and-trade schemes.
Under cap-and-trade the federal government will give companies a limit to the emissions they are allowed which is their “cap.” If they go beyond, they must enter into “carbon trading” by buying “carbon offsets.”
Carbon trading will make multi-millionaires out of carbon trade brokers who a will be huge financial supporters of Washington Democrats - the ones who will have given them cap-and-trade which will be their “cash cow.”
