Climategate meets Arseholegate.mov

The Climategate debate hots up. Finally the BBC pays some attention to the growing scandal (only 2 weeks late) and has a mini-debate involving Warmist/Alarmist Professor Andrew Watson (speaking from somewhere in UK academia) and leading AGW-sceptic Marc Morano (speaking via satellite link from the US).

Watson continually avoids the substantive points of Climategate (of course) deciding to whinge about character assassinations of the "poor scientists" (yes they are "poor scientists" but not in the way he would have us believe). Such complaints are rather ironic given his final words.

The BBC interviewer continually talks over Morano, in her desire to allow Watson to get in the last words.

He does, as right at the end, with stunning candour (thinking that his microphone is now off) he says of Morano,

"What an arsehole".

No - we know who the arseholes are, Professor.

I've never heard a scientist use the word "trick" in the colloquial sense - it pretty much always means a clever way of solving a problem. Same with "hide" - in context, there isn't a shred of conspiracy.

I corrected my own spelling mistake. How is that a complaint?

If I met this "professor", I would have to control myself as not to break his jaw.

Marc Morano was a reporter and producer for Rush Limbaugh.

First off the globe hasn't been radically warming over the last 100 years. The number were facked by CRU. The globe has been warming since the last ice age, that is the only warming that is going on. On the up side things are better when the earth is warmer. More life grows, as shown in history.

@TRUMPHENTOk then mate, ill shall ignore the 700 scientist who disagree, who are now a million times more credible than those disgusting and dreadful fraudsters like the IPCC, CRU,GISS and MET office drones spouting falsified datayeah right!!!! Thanks but no thanks drone

I watched Walter give his talk in Berlin from your channel. He's a third rate cherry picker. His point on Arctic sea ice is totally misleading. He studiously avoids mention of multi-year ice which has virtually disappeared.

He does not mention that Greenland keeps melting at higher altitudes translating to tremendous increase in area that melts.

He meticulously avoids mention of the collapse of the Wilkens and Larsen ice shelves in Antarctica.

Chris Walter, 3rd lord of dung beetles.

@TRUMPHENT what for i am quiet well versed on lord monckton what is your point ?????? how about you try to debunk chris lord monckton ,or is this the game where you try to discredit the man but not his points /facts

[TRUMPHENT]

I'm so sorry I have to further explain. Look up Monckton and Walter in a google search. I presumed you were better informed on Walter. My bad.
