Viscount Monckton of Brenchley (Christopher Lord Monckton) has agreed to come on a lecture tour in Australia in late January 2010. Professor Ian Plimer will accompany Christopher Monckton on a whirlwind tour of the mainland capital cities starting in Sydney on January 25^th and finishing in Perth on February 9^th. Unfortunately we cannot fit in Tasmania and the Northern Territory. Lady Juliet Monckton will come as well, in part to monitor Lord Monckton’s health.

Prof. Plimer says the following of Lord Monckton: “although I modestly state that I am a good performer, he is superb and I have seen him fielding a very hostile BBC and other networks. He has the ability to change thinking…”.

Given the now generally-acknowledged lack of understanding among the Australian general public of the underlying reasons for a “Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme” and the likely effects thereof, it is critical that the public gets a chance to hear a globally-recognised presenter to explain the rational understanding of the whole issue. Lord Monckton is the ideal person to carry out this task and to also put it to the mass media.

There are still details to be finalised for the tour, but basically the program for Lord Monckton’s public lectures is:

Note: Additional meetings Perth (9th Feb), Sydney (12th Feb); see http://carbon-sense.com/2010/02/06/monckton-extra-lectures/

• Sydney January 27^th, Sheraton on the Park, 5:30 pm
• Sydney February 12^th, Hilton Hotel, 12:20 pm
• Newcastle January 28^th, Banquet Room, City Hall, 12:30 pm
• Brisbane January 29^th, Irish Club, 3:00 pm
• Noosa January 30^th, The J , 2:00 pm
• Melbourne February 1^st, Sofitel Hotel, 5:30 pm
• Canberra Feb. 3^rd, National Press Club of Australia (details below)
• Adelaide Feb. 4^th, Intercontinental Hotel, 7:30 pm
• Perth Feb. 8^th, Parmelia Hilton, 5:30 pm
• Perth Feb. 9^th, Wesfarmers Lecture Theatre, 6:00 pm

The response to this tour has been amazing which underlines the timeliness of it. We would stress that it would be good to get as many “agnostics” and “true believers” along to Monckton’s lectures. So if you have any such friends, please persuade them to come along.

Seeing we had not enough time to have tickets printed and sold, admission to each event will be by a donation of $20 at the door ($10 in Perth).

As you can understand, the cost of this exercise will be very substantial and if you have not as yet made a donation and wish to do so, your donations should be directed to:
