Ian Plimer: Climate change denier AND annoying git

Monbiot/Plimer debate:ย Update

It would appear from Ian Plimerโ€™s latest response in the back and forth with UK Gardian columnist George Monbiot that Plimer has no intention of taking seriously either the climate change issue – or his commitment to debate it in goodย faith.

Plimer had earlier agreed to answer a series of questions relating to his new book, Heaven and Earth, as a starting point in a debate with Monbiot. Instead of doing so, however, the Aussie professor has chosen instead to submit a host of unanswerable science questions toย Monbiot.

This is an annoying dodge, transparently designed to distract everyone from the fact that Professor Plimer canโ€™t – or wonโ€™t – account for the content of his ownย book.
