[[Image:Monckton.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Lord Christopher Monckton]]'''Lord Christopher Monckton, Third Viscount Monckton of Brenchley''' (born February 14, 1952) is a [[British]] politician and chief policy advisor to the Science and Public Policy Institute. He spent a career in journalism, working as an editor for the [[Catholic]] newspaper, The Universe, and then a managing editor for The Sunday Telegraph’s Magazine. Monckton served as a policy advisor for Prime Minister [[Margaret Thatcher]] from 1982 to 1986. After serving as a consulting editor for the Evening Standard, he became a [[business]] consultant, launching his own specialist consultancy company. In 1999, Monckton invented the eternity puzzle, a geometric puzzle, enormously difficult jigsaw of 209 pieces made from equilateral triangles and half-triangles. In 2006, he inherited his peerage title through the death of his father.
Monckton has received attention for his scepticism of man-made [[global warming]], and has published articles criticizing climate change opinions. After U.S. Senators [[Jay Rockefeller]] and [[Olympia Snowe]] wrote a letter to the Chief Executive Officer of ExxonMobil asking him to stop funding [[scientist]]s who reject global warming, Lord Monckton wrote a letter to the senators reminding them of the [[First Amendment]] of the [[U.S. Constitution]] and called on them to reverse their position or resign. <ref>http://www.cfact.tv/2009/11/26/lord-christopher-monckton/</ref>
