Lord Lawson, founder of the Global Warming Policy Foundation is to pay Viscount Monckton an undisclosed retainer for I.T. consultancy services following a failure of the GWPF's server to post valid scientific information on multiple occasions.
Monckton's computing skills are a matter of record among climate modelling professionals. Lord Monckton denies* that he once hacked into the Home Office Large Major Enquiry System to cite Prince Charles for over a thousand unpaid parking tickets. A reliable source has obtained an excerpt from the c.v. which Monckton submitted to the GWPF.
... Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has accepted advice from me and my ... expert ... computer models to predict climate ...
... can use PowerPoint graphs
... one of the world's first portable computers, ... Osborne 1, with a 5" screen, ... which I had learned to program in machine language as well as BASIC.
The latest I.T. foul-up occurred when a blatantly obvious cherry-pick intended for publication at midnight on March 31 was published in error 24 hours too soon.
* Well, he would, wouldn't he?
