Monckton compares Garnaut to Hitler ABC News 23 June 11 A British politician has called the Australian Government’s chief climate change adviser, Professor Ross Garnaut, a fascist. Footage has been posted on the internet of a speech Lord Christopher Monckton gave to a conference in Los Angeles earlier this month. In it he displayed a Nazi swastika next to a quote from Professor Garnaut.

Lord Monckton compared statements made by Adolf Hitler to Professor Garnaut’s suggestion that people should accept the mainstream science of climate change.

“That again is a fascist point of view, that you merely accept authority without question. Heil Hitler, on we go,” he said.

Lord Monckton, a one-time adviser to former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, is known around the world for his argument that humans are not damaging the climate.

Last year he told a Canberra audience that proponents of climate change wanted to establish a “world government… that would have shut down democracy worldwide”……………

But Professor Chubb says Lord Monckton should be allowed to express his opinion.
