I don't know if I buy this 'world government' claim, but...

...I do think people should at least watch Lord Christopher Monckton and John Bolton discuss the upcoming Copenhagen conference on climate change and what it may mean.

There is a killer arguement from Lord Monckton though to my scepticism on that point - Europe.

People in Europe, especially the British, have been told time and time again that claims that a particular treaty would cede sovereignty from a democratically elected government in Whitehall to unelected European officials were just right-wing or nationalist scaremongering.

And yet that is exactly what has happened. (Don't let the existence of a basically impotent and pointless European parliament fool you here.)

Treaties, just like charters of rights, are living documents that take on a life of their own once passed and very often have consequences that their framers never even imagined.

Mr Bolton is not as concerned as Lord Monckton about the particular significance of Copenhagen.

Part 7 seems to start with the same bit as part 5, but is longer.

Why sceptics must not exaggerate

Because any such exaggeration, whether witting or unwitting, will be used by the alarmists and their allies in the media as a tool to invalidate all criticisms of so-called "catastrophic" climate change.
 
And as the graph below makes clear, you don't have to exaggerate. Real world observations are still at variance to the projections of the IPCC's models. Actual recorded global temperatures are even below the projected ones assuming no growth in atmospheric carbon dioxide at all, (whereas levels have continued to increase without let up).

Mugged by cooling temperatures

Lucia’s Blackboard says the cooling climate does contradict the predictions of the IPCC alarmists, but not by as much as Christopher Monckton claims.
 
Hers is a needed reminder that in standing against serial exaggerators it is important not to exaggerate oneself. But this is also a good excuse to plug Lucia’s terrific line of presents for sceptics, like her famous mug:
