Paxman hosts debate between a climate scientist and oil industry funded lobbyist

Jeremy Paxman interviews Myron Ebell from the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) and John Mitchell, Chief Scientist at the UK Met Office, and a lead author of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Myron Ebell gets slaughtered as Paxman reveals his lies one by one.

Paxman asks Ebell "Are you a scientist?", at which point Ebell's argument completely falls apart

yes. i thing there is a big conspirancy going on. hitler is producing the green house gases and the myths around it to beat USA´s economy. We must prevent Europe from doing this. AMERICANS, BUY BIGGER GAS GAZZLING CARS AND BIGGER HEATERS TO SAVE THE WORLD, without it our wolrd will not be able to produce oxygene, wuahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahah

I mildly lolled

"So there's no argument?" is a crucial question. Yes, there IS an argument. Not all scientists agree with the assertion CO2 is what is majorly causing global warming.

[oneoffmanmental]

Scientists who don't believe in Physics, clearly...maybe they believe it's caused by phlogistons!

[richard1easton]

i think its that they find it too hard to make simple changes within their lifestyles, changes that would benefit humanity in general!

Anyway, scientific fact or not, oil is a finite resource, sooner or later, we will all have to deal with our oil addictions, there is really no other way about it.

China is building a new coal fired plant every 2 weeks. Looks like we are in for a dirty hot earth.

the oil guy looks like the ugly cunt who played the sax in 'haircut 100'

@col13x Hi i'm not in the know with all this but believe there are conspiracies and agendas against mankind. Please can you explain in short if possible, what the score is with global warming and co2? i mean, is global warming real? i know many people who say nature's seasons are visibly changing. Thanks.

[takioc]

@gnarlyb Well said friend, i can't go with the swearing because i'm a Christian but that does not make you wrong! :-)

Anyone who resorts to name calling, use of the n.w.o, and believes the green house effect isn't true is an idiot. If you have any information or data to back up his association with the n.w.o or that the greenhouse effect doesn't exist please by all means share it... lol

[Mr777gio777]

Agriculture? The CO2 rises would cause warming. Just as low temperatures affect crops negatively so does high temps. Due to high heat ground water will be lost and plant water would evaporate at an accelerated rate. This means killing of of necessary plants to our survival and less CO2 filter thus more CO2 increase. What can we do? We can filter out CO2 from the exhaust of cars to only expel air. We could use nuclear, solar, hydroelectric, and wind energy to power home, businesses, and etc.

[Mr777gio777]

What will be affected first? Agriculture and fishing. Due to changing currents the temps of the oceans will be changed thus fish populations will begin to shift. Not too bad right? It is predicted that by 2100 ocean pH could drop by up to .3, this would make our oceans near neutral. By 2200 we might have acidic oceans and that means massive ocean extinction.

[Mr777gio777]

Climate Change is a natural thing. However we are putting CO2 into the atmosphere that hasn't been there before. CO2 causes warming due to the nature. In short it lets all light energy in but also holds onto heat energy thus its role in the greenhouse effect. What people are claiming now is nonsense... this isn't going to affect us now however in the future there will be many consequences. Mostly the change in ocean pH and ocean currents as well as temperatures.

@col13x THANKYOU, SANITY

THE JEWS DID IT!

@col13x

the guys is a scientist, the other guy is an oil motherfucker making a living helping the oil cartels ruin the planet and hold the world in economic bondage... and you're saying the scientist is part of the NWO?? dude wake the fuck up
