Surprised we haven't had a post about the Gaffer being on late night
telly.

He provided the regular 'Take of the Week' feature and discussed it
afterwards.

There doesn't seem to be a repeat on the Parliament Channel, but it's
on the iPlayer - starts about 6m in.

His presentation was fine but when questioned, he lapsed into
incoherence as he tends to do. It's a shame as he has something to say
(regardless of if one agrees or not) and it would be good if he could
express himself more easily when being bullied by a presenter.

He was hardly being 'bullied'. He was simply asked questions and was
found wanting. Basically he just fell back on the 'it's all a
conspiracy' line whenever he was presnted with any facts he disagreed with.

None were presented to him. He was questioned and allowed no time to
formulate an answer so we never got to know if he had one or not. I
prefer to watch these things with an open mind. I like to know what
people think rather than just listen to people who confirm my views.
This isn't because I'm fair minded but more because there is always a
possibility my view may be incorrect. Opinions don't cause me a
problem. Certainty does.

Yes they were. it was stated that 97% of climate scientists considered
that global warmimng was real and he just dismissed this as a 'lie'.
Ultimately you really can't argue with someone who takes that tack.

I thought you meant climate facts rather than the quantity of people
who disagreed with him. My mistake.
He did reply to that point however in the time honoured fashion.
He also raised an interesting point about temperature and CO2, also in
time honoured fashion.

That 97% is a lie or if I wasn't so cynical of the AGW clap trap that is spoken I may be kind enough to class it as misrepresentation.

As Roy Spencer said and all sceptical AGW scientist agree: yes Co2 is a greenhouse gas and yes humans have released 80-100 PPM . If you agree with that then yes you are part of that pathetically overused statistic of 97%

3:18 in.


Maybe you can now put this to bed Col instead of peddling the same old interpretation; actually there is no interpretation it is a fact.

It is past history now. The presenter did not possess the latest research. The figure is 99.99% of all published material on the subject backs AGW being by far the most likely explanation of the current warming.

PS Piers is an idiot. 😀

Actually, we've heard not much of his sock puppet lately. You don't
suppose that Jim was really Piers's younger brother???
