Ian Plimer exposed as a fraud [2]
From Tim Lambert’s Deltoid blog:
“Ian Plimer’s performance in his debate with Monbiot has to be seen to be believed [7].
Rather than admit to making any error at all, Plimer ducks, weaves, obfuscates, recites his favourite catch phrase, tries to change the subject and fabricates some more. When confronted with the fact that the USGS says (backed with scientific papers) that human activities emit 130 times as much CO2 as volcanoes [8], Plimer claims that the USGS doesn’t count underwater volcanoes.
When told that the USGS specifically said that they do count undersea volcanoes, Plimer invented a story about how the nature of the rocks under the ocean proves that there must be unobserved emissions. Needless to say, this is not acceptable conduct for a scientist.”
