Darling of the left wing media Clive Hamilton [pictured] is not a happy chappy..
The growing strength of the independent online media like Agmates really annoys him.
In an article on Crikey.com (subsribers only, so sorry no link) Hamilton attacks those of us that dared point out that:
… outrageous attack on IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri accusing him of wilfully misleading the public by ignoring evidence that average global temperatures have plateaued in recent years.
In the days before independent online media like Agmates, Left winged academics like Hamilton were quoted virtually unchallenged by the mainstream media. He’s clearly upset that those times have changed.
“Duffy’s article recycled uncritically the latest piece of denialist clap-trap circulating on the internet and occasionally breaking in to the serious press.
It follows a pattern whereby a denialist somewhere notices an apparent contradiction in the mainstream science, inserts a crowbar into the crack then tries to bring down the climate science edifice.
Although the real scientists soon point out the error the clap-trap continues to circulate, confusing the public and giving the impression that scientists cannot makes up their minds.”
What’s the world coming to Clive? Oh for the good old days when only Clive’s side of the story made it into the ’serious press’.
We can’t tolerate independent media questioning the global warming hysteria can we Clive? We can’t allow proper debate of the issues can we Clive? Worst of all we can’t allow voices of dissent, can we Clive?
Clive has been the darling of the left winged mainstream media for many years with his anti-capitalism and anti-religious views.
Surely Clive would be a champion of free speech. From reading his comments above it would appear not.
Have your say!
