GOP Chooses Lord "Hitler Youth" Monckton as Expert Witness on Climate Change Science

quibble: "_trampling_ Godwin’s Law of Nazi Analogies" is not possible. Breaking that rule ends the debate and concedes the point, in this case to environmentalists.

Godwin's Law /prov./ [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups.

[Hopefully, mentioning them in the definition of Godwin's Law is exempt.]

Okay, my point is, simply that Monckton has already lost. He can shut his voice-hole, or he can keep quacking. It makes not a whit of difference (that's British for "it doesn't matter"). He's a loser, laughingstock, corporate property with no credibility on anything, ever again.
