Tory peer in attack on Jewish climate change activists; calls them “Hitler Youth”
Leading climate sceptic Lord Monckton has launched a venom-dripped tirade against young climate change activists, comparing them to Hitler Youth.
Eyes bulging, face contorted and jabbing threateningly, the former adviser to Margaret Thatcher tells Jewish activist Ben Wessel:
“No, no. I’m not going to shake the hand of Hitler Youth.”
To which Ben replied:
“Sir, as a Jew I’m not really sure how I should take that.”
Monckton:
“I’ll tell you how you should take it. You should take it.”
Ben:
“My grandparents escaped the Nazis growing up in Germany.”
Watch the confrontation in full:
Make up your own minds whose side you’d rather be on.

Who really cares? Get a life everyone – this is a non-story.
Talking of bulging eyes, did anyone see Ed Balls – you know the public schoolboy toff married to Yvette Cooper – in his Nazi uniform staring at his friends groin while he had his trousers down?
Oh what a jolly jape that was! A so called socialist in a Nazi uniform – frightening.

Hmmm, that is interesting. But be fair to LFF Monckton’s only just joined UKIP.

What he says is true however. Climate change has always happened. We have evidence that shows there was farming on the Greenland. We have had the Roman Warm period and the Medieval Warming Period where temperatures were 2-6 degrees higher than today. We had the Little Ice Age when the Thames froze over regularly.
However, isn’t it rather hypocritical for the trustafarians to cry it in indignation at being compared to the Hitler Youth when global cooling deniers compare sceptics to Holocaust deniers. If you can’t receive then don’t give.
