This is pathetic.

Report: Democrats Refuse to Allow Skeptic to Testify Alongside Gore At Congressional Hearing | Climate Depot

Washington, DC -- UK's Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, claimed House Democrats have refused to allow him to appear alongside former Vice President Al Gore at a high profile global warming hearing on Friday April 24, 2009 at 10am in Washington. Monckton told Climate Depot that the Democrats rescinded his scheduled joint appearance at the House Energy and Commerce hearing on Friday. Monckton said he was informed that he would not be allowed to testify alongside Gore when his plane landed from England Thursday afternoon.

“Waxman knows there has been no 'global warming' for at least a decade. Waxman knows there has been seven and a half years' global cooling. Waxman knows that, in the words of the UK High Court judge who condemned Gore's mawkish movie as materially, seriously, serially inaccurate, 'the Armageddon scenario that he depicts is not based on any scientific view,'” Monckton explained. Monckton has previously testified before the House Committee in March. (See: Monckton: Have the courage to do nothing...US Congress told climate change is not real ) Monckton has also publicly challenged Gore to a debate.

You of the faith really need to think about what you're doing. Real science and real solutions are impossible in a climate of fantasy and agenda driven emotions.

Business as usual with the Democrats, dare to speak out and you are silenced. What's scary is everyone sees it, every day, and no one does a thing. Its one thing to have the maroons in demo underground closing their ears, but these are congress critters.

This isn't really "science" to Gore and others. It's a social issue. As far as they are concerned, the science was resolved two decades ago.

And it points to what I've said before - liberals don't hear your side of the argument, because they don't respect it as equal to theirs.

Put it this way - you're going to deliver a lecture on racism in America, and some guy "challenges" you to a debate where he will "prove" to you the other races are inferior and thus deserving of prejudice. You'd respond with "the hell with that". You wouldn't let his odious views on stage, even though you're certain you could easily dismiss everything he had to say. But your reaction isn't fear, it's a combination of repugnance and irritation.

Similarly, you're going to teach a class on the advantages of the American Dream and its role in capitalistic society, and some smart alec decides he plans to go toe to toe with you on Marxism and how capitalism has ruined the lives of millions. Or you're a minister about to teach on the difference between sanctification and justification, and some jerk decides it's time to declare to the class that RELIGION ALONE is the primary cause for all cruelty and evil in the world.

In these instances, your thoughts would be - why should I listen to this twit? Because you went in on the idea that you wouldn't need to defend something about which you planned to discuss in greater detail. You can defend yourself, but why bother? You weren't planning on challenges, and you're frankly annoyed by them.

Now - a really good capitalist would be able to persuade that Marxist he was full of beans and might change his mind. A good minister might even look at a fiery young upstart as a fiery new convert and evangelist. But not if you really don't know the details and are just teaching the Cliff's Notes version of your material.

Which is what Gore is doing.

I'm reading that as 'Gore doesn't really know the details and is just teaching the Cliff's notes version...'

I got that right?

And yet global warming is cited as the gospel by not only wackadoodles, but intelligent people who have been successfully indoctrinated by the media hype.

Whenever someone mentions that they fear global warming, or even climate change, my opinion of that person changes dramatically.

Let's not forget the Billions to be made from the stimulus due to the Global Warming drum beat Al Gore keeps pounding. As Al Gore promotes his fallacy, checks go to his bank to pay for his energy inefficient 10,000sqft mansion, private jet, and fleet of SUV's...
