I saw him trying to draw a distinction between broadsheets and tabloids.

It didn't work.

Was the audience actually buying his bullshit, or was he getting laughed at?

Why I am so rude to Warmists

Quote:
Sharing a car back from the BBC Big Question debate in Cardiff on Sunday I had a tremendous bust-up with one of my fellow panellists which I think many of you would have enjoyed hugely. (Our driver could barely keep a straight face.)

It was prompted when I very vocally expressed my disgust at one of the standard phrases trotted out by Warmists and other eco-loons in these debates (as, of course, inevitably, they did again on Sunday): the one about "preserving the planet for future generations".

The reason this cant phrase makes me want to throw up every time I hear it is that it's such a grotesque inversion of reality. It's not people on my side of the debate who want to ravage the countryside with wind farms (with no provision for decommissioning them), rein in economic growth, introduce wartime-style rationing, raise taxes, destroy farmland and rainforests to create biofuels, and base heinously expensive public policy on hysteria and junk science. It's not people on my side of the debate who are condemning those "future generations" to a lower standard of living and an uglier environment in order to deal with a problem that doesn't exist. So how dare they have the gall to try to take the moral high ground?

.....

All right. I admit it: I was quite rude. But I have no regrets about this whatsoever. Especially not given that my antagonist was here deploying yet another of the disingenuous techniques exploited by the liberal-left on these occasions: the evasion of argument by turning the debate into an issue of style and character.

I get this a lot everywhere from the comments below this blog to Twitter. (One young man even Tweeted on Sunday asking for someone to "knife" me because he didn't like what I had to say on the BBC debate programme.) Their "thinking" goes something along the lines of: "James Delingpole is so rude and unpleasant and right-wing that everything he has to say is evil and I'm amazed he gets paid for this stuff and I just wish someone could shut him up or kill him." Yeah, but never mind what you think of me: that's obvious. Where's your counter to my argument, that's what I'd like to know?

.....

As I note in Watermelons, the global warming scare – the biggest and most expensive outbreak of mass hysteria in history – has enabled some very bad people to do some very wrong things in the name of "saving the planet for future generations". And yet the eco-loons complain about people like me being rude? And they think I'm the one who should be knifed or head-butted?

A sense of perspective, gentlemen: please!

An ever-so-subtle plug for his book, there. The only people weirder than Delingpole are the sycophantic plankton who congregate on his Torygraph blog. A more repugnant bunch you'll struggle to find.

I'm not amazed he gets paid for this stuff. In fact, I'm pretty sure he gets paid twice...

wind farms and taxes, just like climate change.

Those environmentalists, always hammering down rain forests.

junk science, says the English graduate, who interprets interpretations.

And if a lefty wrote that "war time rationing" bollocks they'd get accused of being disrespectful to the Home Front. I won't do that. I'll just call him a cunt.

And why would we need to make provision to decommission a windfarm.
It's not as though the materials will gradually accumulate increasing doses of radiation, or the emissions will cause problems.

You either renew the generator (Drop in replacement), or pull down the towers and recycle.

Please don't post that on this thread. It will die out very quickly as everything he does during a day is because he's a cunt.

Has he ever put forward an argument refuting global warming, of any kind? What is it? Something about taxes and a liberal elite?

It's a pretty spurious trick, and it's one I saw Amanda Platell use recently ("If Stephen Fry disagrees with you, you can be pretty sure you're in the right"). A few years ago Richard Littlejohn proudly sported the 'irritant' tag he was awarded, on the grounds that if he was irritating people, he was getting under their skin and doing his job nobly holding the great and not so good to account.

The idea is that if 'they' disagree with you, 'they' want to shut you up. Either because you're spectacularly wrong, or because you're onto something they don't want made public. At which point I call Occam's Razor.

Look at big James winding up those fierce yoghurt knitters. Hardcore, badass white knuckle stuff James.


I'll borrow a mailite analogy from their religous analysis.

I'd like to see him try his wind-up act in from of an EDL rally.
