Democrats Refuse to Allow Skeptic to Testify Alongside Gore At Congressional Hearing
Canada Free Press ^ | Thursday, April 23, 2009 | Marc Morano

Washington DC—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 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 Monckton told Climate Depot that the Democrats rescinded his scheduled joint appearance at the House Energy and Commerce hearing on Friday.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.”

According to Monckton, Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), Ranking Member on the Energy & Commerce Committee, had invited him to go head to head with Gore and testify at the hearing on Capitol Hill Friday. But Monckton now says that when his airplane from London landed in the U.S. on Thursday, he was informed that the former Vice-President had “chickened out” and there would be no joint appearance. Gore is scheduled to testify on Friday to the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment’s fourth day of hearings on the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. The hearing will be held in 2123 Rayburn House Office Building.

and Gore skates again! This is the classic liberal tactic. This idiot can’t defend his claims in a scientific debate so he simply avoids the debate.

Yes, we should all be proud that the DemoRats have figured out a way to tax mother nature out of existence.

Laughing and crying at the same time.

They DIDN'T win. In fact, every day more people wise up to the "global warming" hoax.

Great video. I’d send it to a few people I know but they wouldn’t “listen”
