Lord & Loon, Part 2: Swiss Guards Tell Morano To Control Self @ Presser, Or They'll Throw Him Out

[hatrack]

Two prominent British climate change sceptics travelled to the Vatican seeking to convert the Pope to their cause – only to be interrupted by “papal heavies” half-way through making their point.

Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, a hereditary peer, and James Delingpole, a right-wing commentator, were in a group that attended a papal climate conference ahead of Pope Francis’s eagerly awaited climate change “encyclical” – a letter to clergy in which he is expected to advocate action against global warming.

They are attending the summit in Rome with scientists from the Heartland Institute, a conservative think-tank backed by the US philanthropist Charles Koch.

EDIT

“Before he could finish, the conference hosts interrupted to ask which organization he worked for, then directed the microphone to a more tame questioner, while a secretary guard came over to mutter in Morano’s ear ‘You have to control yourself or you will be escorted out of here’,” Mr Delingpole wrote on his blog.

1. Sounds like the question was more of a plot to gain cheap publicity in world-media:

"Mr Delingpole said that Marc Morano, the founder of the sceptical Climate Depot website, tried to ask Mr Ban if he had anything to say about Heartland’s mission."

Trying to get attention for the Heartland Institute.
"Hey, remember when those Heartland guys asked the Pope a question?"
"Should I know them?"
"I guess so! They asked the Pope a question!"

2. Yep - "Look at me! Look at me! Look at MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
