An observation. Is it just me or does Barry Soper cream his jeans whenever he finds dirt on the National Party, mainly John Key.

I thought those pricks were supposed to be independant.

I parked beside Lianne Dalziel’s van earlier this evening. It said on it “redalert/blog/labour.org.nz”. Another Labour stuff up! It should be Red Alert – blog.labour.org.nz.

Where’s Luc and the frog??
Where”s the nutbar Smith?

Climate debater wanted.

Apparently the science is settled and we must not ever again engage in the conversation on the subject.

Climate-change sceptic faces stage without peers
Last updated 05:00 03/08/2011

Scientists are refusing to take to the stage with outspoken British climate sceptic Christopher Monckton during his visit.

Climate scientist and Victoria University professor Martin Manning said the scientific community had decided not to engage with him because that would mislead the public. The science was done and there was no debate to be had, he said.

“We can immediately see the statements Monckton makes as completely wrong. If you then go into a one-on-one debate with him you effectively say these statements need to be debated again.”

The Public Relations Institute is hosting a talk by Lord Monckton for industry professionals in Wellington on Friday, but chief executive Tim Marshall said its participation in an event in Auckland was under review after failing to attract a climate scientist to join a debate.

Oh I know, they ain’t scientists then. Is that their excuse, Well Smith has a degree, anyone know about the other two??

Lord Monckton told The Dominion Post he was not surprised prominent New Zealand scientists had refused to take part in public debates with him at events in Wellington, Auckland and Whangarei.

He said they had probably realised they would lose the debates, and were claiming they did not want to give credence to the other side of the argument. “That’s the kind of thing communists and fascists used to say when they wanted to shut free speech down.

I know where they have gone.
Down to the dirty rivers debate, Movin on.

Smith is a shameless fraudster, an insult to the intelligence of New Zealanders. As any other warmist, he’d have no weapon to use against Mockton, hence their absence.

Monckton is a skilled debater, but the debate has long since moved past his views. Reputable scientists are unlikely to debate him; as he is not a scientist. Politicians are unlikely to debate him, as his views are irrelevant.
