Long piece, but it shows the complete INABILITY of the AGW extremists/environmentalists to even debate the facts - note the anger and hatred and extremism - The vicious reuse and reuse and reuse of their (anti-Soviet socialism!!) Nazi curses.

Compare with Hansen's recent "death trains" of coal, the entire "global warming denier" label - to match the Holocaust denier" and neo-nazi" labels, the use of Mengale (as a "scientist!") .....

reference: Notice how the “religion” of AGW and environmentalism requires “conversion” from their current view when presented by the facts and actual global trends in temperature, gas levels, and the earth’s responses.

Not conversation. They can’t “converse” about this topic. They can’t “reason” about it.

Wow, great post! Thanks for posting it!

That’s the same old liberal M.O. If you can’t defend your position, personally attack the opposition.

I have been amazed at the number of people who buy into the AGW garbage. Unbelievable.

Many years ago as a B team debate I remember going to listen to a debate team from Oxford debate a well respected team from the US.
I still remember the Oxford team-their wit, their attention to detail, and finally their love of the craft.

Thanks for the fantastic post!
Another great item on the site is “It’s the Sun, Stupid!”
Has it been posted?
I’m on lunch and lazy or I’d check...

Great post! The British really do excel in debating skills. The Opposition must have really destroyed the Proponents to win a vote of university students.

P.S. No wonder Algore won't debate Monckton!

He argued that AGW is a fact because the United Nations (UN) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has published its Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) that says the IPCC is “90% certain” that AGW exists. From this he claimed there is a “crisis” because governments are failing to give the matter sufficient importance.

This in a tried and true technique which has enjoyed great success for almost 20 years.
I submit the following as proof:

Reminds me of a fascinating quote from a Chinese Com government during the "International Woman's Conference" held in China during the Clinton administration. The government official said ..."that they studied Hillary's speechmaking method to understand her power and success. They concluded: her trick was never actually to make any arguments -- just state conclusions that were all already accepted as self-evident by her audience.
(They found that interesting and perhaps admirable, and to be emulated).
