If I was in the same room as Delingpole, I'd struggle to remain as polite as Nurse did.Millicentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-88879084059602034892014-07-25T06:33:12.321+10:002014-07-25T06:33:12.321+10:00Delingpole’s other claim to fame was being made to...<i>Delingpole’s other claim to fame was being made to look a complete fool when Sir Paul Nurse, filming for the BBC, asked if he had read the abstract of any scientific papers </i><br /><br />The interview is hilarious - well worth a view to see how lightweight Delingpole is. I thought Delingpole made more of a twit of himself when asked a simple question about consensus. He could not answer it so he went all defensive followed by aggressive followed by changing the subject. Showed how he only listens to denier types and never tests his ridiculous ideas against anyone with more than one brain cell.Jammy Dodgernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-46059715763311500072014-07-25T04:45:41.227+10:002014-07-25T04:45:41.227+10:00That sad faded 60's (?) basement bar does warm...That sad faded 60's (?) basement bar does warm the cockles. Not so many years ago they used to meet in Manhattan, now they're on the set of a Mob family wedding but with terrible food.<br /><br />So pathetic; you can't but giggle. Slightly hysterically as the world totters towards who knows what (but it won't be good), but any relief is welcome.Cugelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-17906232068697302402014-07-25T04:33:53.616+10:002014-07-25T04:33:53.616+10:00Fossil fuel companies have ditched the weirdos and...Fossil fuel companies have ditched the weirdos and set up shop with the lukewarmers and econometricists.

My only gripe is that the author seemed to suggest that some fossil fuel companies have stopped funding deniers when, in reality, they still do so but prefer to channel the money via third parties.Millicentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-41482894567114738382014-07-25T03:13:29.017+10:002014-07-25T03:13:29.017+10:00Read it in full, thanks for the link.
