Loved it! Lord Monckton wins hands down. Throughly enjoyed the campus press journo getting cut to size too.
job well done
Abs fab Monckton!
Monckton is far more than a pretty face! This is worth every minute of your time to watch. The most inept among us are likely employed by the Media… I avoid the term ‘working’ because they do little of that..
A little off topic but… There was a mention of genetically modified foods in this debate. Monckton rightfully mentions this has been going on for decades.
Decades and far longer. If we look at the efforts of man to improve food plants over thousands of years, it all falls under man’s wreckless attempt to improve his situation through genetic modification.
For those who choose to see it this way, they need not ban what’s been done. Instead, identify the wild varieties, cultivate them and swear off all others.
Do the same when choosing a pet for your children, A Dingo, a Wolf or some other wild dog. All save them have been genetically modified by man.
Please brush up on the term “genetic modification”, focusing on its differences from hybridization.
I wouldn’t ban it, but don’t I have the right to avoid it if I prefer to? Why not label it and let the consumers decide whether or not they will eat it?
Don’t farmers have the right to protect their organic crops from the accidental spread of genetically modified strains?
Genetically modified foods have proven themselves in the real world to supply nutritious and healthy sustenance for human beings. Somehow, people are afflicted with the notion that anything modified by human beings pose possible cancer risks while ignoring the proven risks associated with smoking cigarettes and using drugs. How that disconnect comes about escapes me at the moment but is perhaps based on the general intellect and disposition to have a supposed superiority complex . . . in the end selfishness and antisocial behavior.
It’s Rodney Dangerfields cousin.
As a yank living here in Australia, I get to partake in a battle that has been ongoing for years in other countries. Monckton held his own in this debate and fought with a bit more substance. The oddest thing about the whole climate change debate here in Australia is that the majority of the population do not want it, but the minority are louder. The Govt has hijacked the youth to carry its message and you know how messy that can get. The PM (Gillard) lying to her people before the election has made the issue a poisonous one. I believe the carbon tax will be imposed in 2012 but at the cost of the labor government in the 2013 election.
