saveliberty Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Watts Up With That?: Monckton’s Schenectady showdown Posted on March 10, 2012 by Anthony Watts Monckton vanquishes Union College “Greens too yellow to admit they’re really Reds” Guest post by Justin Pulliam Attendees listen to Monckton's speech at Union College. Photo by Charlotte Lehman THE NEWS that Lord Monckton was to give his “Climate of Freedom” lecture at Union College in Schenectady, New York, had thrown the university’s environmentalists into a turmoil. The campus environmentalists set up a Facebook page announcing a counter-meeting of their own immediately following Monckton’s lecture. There is no debate about global warming, they announced. There is a consensus. The science is settled. Their meeting would be addressed by professors and PhDs, the “true” scientists, no less. Sparks, it seemed, were gonna fly. Traveling with Lord Monckton on the East Coast leg of his current whistle-stop tour of the US and Canada, I was looking forward to documenting the Schenectady showdown. I have had the pleasure of listening to His Lordship at previous campus events. He is at his best when confronted by a hostile audience. The angrier and more indignant they are, the more he seems to like it. The Union Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) sponsored the lecture, which was video streamed by CampusReform.org (where a video recording is available). The afternoon of the event, Lord Monckton appeared on the CFACT leaders’ hour-long weekly show on the Union College radio station. As a result, that evening 200 people packed a campus lecture theater to hear Lord Monckton speak. *************** H/T Legal Insurrection Read the whole thing. Wow.

Valin Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 From her reddening face and baffled expression, it was possible to deduce that she had not. Nor had she heard of the argumentum ad verecundiam, She's a modern college student...why would anyone expect her to know that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
