Apparently the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community is the work of evil communists.

Before President Trump even approved the Keystone Pipeline, GOP mega-donors Robert Mercer and Rebekah Mercer were already celebrating with a two-day anti-climate conference sponsored by the conservative Heartland Institute. Among the speakers was British climate denialist Lord Christopher Monckton, who spoke fervently about convincing "illiberals" from Ivanka Trump to Al Gore that climate change is a hoax.

Here were five of his most bizarre theories-
1. The 97 percent "consenus" that humans are causing climate change is the result of communist influence

"There isn't a consensus," Monckton told the audience. "The people who did the survey reported it as 97 percent because they were communists, and they didn't care about the truth."

2. The crew of former chief of Romanian intelligence Ion Mihai Pacepaha has taken over the mainstream media

Monckton's war against Pacepaha's disinformation will only be won by forcing Republican Chief Justice Roberts (who has handled many high profile media cases) to resign.

3. "Fake news merchants" like Arnold Schwarzenegger can be taken down through a boycott of Google.

Monckton is no fan of The Terminator's warnings about pollution, and has called for his ATTN video to be deleted.

1. Whew! That Dude Is Out There

I mean completely around the bend. He has spies in the WH? Really? Pretty weird, even for a supporter of "it".

2. Don't forget about the conspiracy theory that the world is round.

That too must be some communistic plot. I mean, just look out your window. Doesn't it look flat?

3. I'd like to see this whole group test the conspiracy of gravity

By going over a cliff like lemmings.
