I'm speechless.

Actually, I'm not. This is all too predictable.

Thanks for posting.

[Semper Paratus]

This will be common when World Government comes.

Watt-Cloutier responded, "I am not a scientist, so I can't give you any scientific responses to your question."

Goldberg interrupted, saying, "This is not a scientific event...as the moderator, I am going to put a stop to this."

In other words, man-made "climate change" has absolutely nothing to do with science and everything to do with politics.

[reformedliberal]

Do we know what powers for redress this Commission has? I will bet none and further, that this is solely political and designed to drum up even more press hysteria against the USA and for Kyoto.

[worldclass]

But Goldberg interrupted, saying, "This is not a scientific event...as the moderator, I am going to put a stop to this.

"I have already put an end to this discussion, it is silly and it has nothing to do with what we are here to talk about," he added.

Goldberg then called for more "productive" questions.

A woman later took to the microphone and declared that the Inuit people's complaint against the U.S. was "not about the science, but it's about what is happening to human beings, and I think the U.S. has to start taking off its blinders."


Yep, Global warming has nothing to do with science or reality. Just another illusionary sledgehammer to stuff socialism and tribal rights laws down our throats.

[wvobiwan]

Damn the facts - if there's money to be extorted from the US Taxpayer - FULL SPEED AHEAD!!

So funny, they make charges based upon so-called scienctific evidence, and then not only say it's not a scientific conference, but that they're not scientists.

So where exactly ARE the scientists that supposedly back up this Global Warming scam? Has anyone actually met one or heard them defend their evidence?

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Rush was talking about this a few minutes ago. Dunno if he was just trying to be funny, but he kept referring to the panelists as "Intuits". :-)

[John O]

If only we could invent a neutron bomb that only killed liberals we could solve the world's problems in a few days

[Adder]

"Just shut up and believe us, dammit"

I thought I read that in the article....No?

Oh.

My bad.

[DTogo]

I did something similar once at a renewable energy conference. I asked a presenter why consumers had to pay more for renewables if they didn't cost the utility company much more (if any) than other forms of energy, and this was "double-dipping." He expressed shock and dismay at my questions, but later apologized. Several in the audience also came up to me later and said they agreed with me.

It's never about science or economics, it's about an agenda or lining one's pockets. In this case, it's about a free trip to Buenos Aires to bash the USA.

[26lemoncharlie]

Time to start defending ourselves and vaporizing a few of these idiot countries until we have enough parking!

[shibumi]

"Don't confuse me with the facts. my mind is made up!"

(How dare we question the scientific acumen of a people who, throughout the 500+ years of EuroAmerican history haven't figured out that there's a warmer place to live than inside the Arctic Circle???....of course, I live near Chicago and at this time of year, I question my own intelligence on a daily basis!)

[shubi]

They aren't scientists, but they play one on TV. LOL

[McGavin999]

There are now more greenhouse gases emmitted by China than there is in the US. Why aren't they suing China?

[knick knack]

Watt-Cloutier responded, "I am not a scientist, so I can't give you any scientific responses to your question."
Goldberg interrupted, saying, "This is not a scientific event...as the moderator, I am going to put a stop to this."


AND YET...
"But if anything indicates a little progress here, it's how desperate these people are becoming because they see that they REALLY ARE LOSING THE SCIENTIFIC ARGUMENT, that they can't sustain the position that they have been taking," Goldberg said.

So, let me get this strait... "We are making our claims based on scientific studies and models but we can't answer a question about our science because it is not a conference about science. Oh, and by the way, you are losing the scientific argument."
Well, what is it....Science or Not Science???


Ditto jpl. "In other words, man-made "climate change" has absolutely nothing to do with science and everything to do with politics."

This whole article has left me invisibilized. It's almost as bad as having my beeber stuned. Not quite, but almostizized!

This group is misplacing the blame for their predicament. Clearly the Inuit people are being punished by the great whale goddess for their cruel history of killing whales. It's about time that the Inuit were held responsible for their crimes against nature, isn't it.

[Unam Sanctam]

Why are these people so insecure that they have to try to silence anyone who raises scientific questioning? Sure doesn't sound like an objective scientific inquiry to me.
