But there’s a consensus!” shrieked the bossy environmentalist with the messy blonde hair.Starting with the consensus or headcount fallacy Monckton goes on to illustrate another ten or so of the logical fallacies (codified by Aristotle 2300 years ago) that regularly crop up in AGW hysterics' arguments.
