James Cameron says that climate-change skeptics are “swine.”
[Tuesday morning update]
Well, he can dish it out, but he can’t take it:
A real shame [he chickened out of the debate]. Would have been fun to watch the reaction to him calling skeptics “swine” to their faces, for once. Exit question: Forgive and forget? C’mon — he has important things to do this week!
Bwwaaack, buck buck buck buck, Bwwwaaaaack.

Ah, it’s comforting to know that the Left is sooooo tolerant…
Where would civilization be without truck-dirver/movie-directors schooling us on the scientific method?
OINK OINK!! And Cameron can kiss my porkish behind.
Has he called us Nazis yet?
That’s all? Just let me know when he calls for the “reeducation” camps to open.
Another Hollywood pogue on my blacklist, dang, gonna havta get another rolodex. Keep simplifying my movie choices y’all, now that’s a killer business model.
This is a man who postulated a future history where 22nd century man, who apparently can harness antimatter reactions, is facing an energy and mineral crisis simple because the Earth “got used up.”
Presley, contrived attack on the Bush administration is contrived.
mpthompson, “Greene, Cameron and a host of other climate-change activists said there needs to be a broad educational campaign, one aimed at convincing voters and politicians that not being able to prove that fossil fuel-produced carbon is changing the temperature of Earth is not a license for inaction.”
I’m kinda disheartened that people still haven’t caught on to the ultimate way to silence climate change chicken littles.
One simply needs to ask “if carbon emissions are not reduced, what do you think is going to happen?” and wait for the crazy to pour out. Throw in a few “how soon do you think that will happen?” to get more crazy on demand.
There is simply no good scientific theory, or even evidence, for the short term effects of climate change (where “short term” means, under 100 years). Whether or not humans cause climate change is *irrelevant* if you can’t even make a good guess at what the effect is going to be.
And calling for “action” to head off a disaster that you can’t even characterize is the definition of overblown alarmist stupidity – the bread and butter of so many in the environmental movement.
There’s contrived, and then there’s expending a good deal of effort showing your work only to miss an obvious hole in the backstory. Damn shame, too.

ROFLMAO! The whole thing just looked insipid so I never saw it. Glad to read I didn’t miss anything.
I like in Avatar how you can plug into the Mother Tree’s energy or whatever that was by attaching yourself to another creature’s butt with your own built-in butt plug. I wonder what Mr. Cameron likes to do to relax.
I am more than happy to help reduce our carbon footprint. Lets start with the 92 nuclear reactors that were cancelled after 3 mile island. That will remove 846 million metric tons of CO2 from the air per year. Then we build about 500 thorium cycle reactors while we work on a crash program to really make fusion work.
That will reduce the USA’s carbon footprint to near zero.
Well Mr. Cameron?
Hey Dennis, looking forward to hearing you on The Space Show tomorrow.
If they’re swine, better keep them away from mosques.
If thy not a swine then I smite thee a smurf.
Indeed, but as noted, he does have more lucrative activities to attend to:
Maybe it’s 8-1/2 minutes of space marines stomping on alien kittens shouting “Shock and Awe!” I can hardly wait!
“Well, he can dish it out, but he can’t take it:”
That isn’t the correct conclusion from the article(s) to which the link points.
The articles give chronology of the showdown. Cameron makes a demand, the skeptics agree to it. At the end of a very long list of demand/agreement, Cameron pulls out.
If the skeptics agree with everything Cameron said, by induction they would have agreed with what he said in the debate. So you see, he didn’t have to debate. He won, in advance.
@MfK: Cameron has genuinely proved that he is the master. They should just lay their golden fiddles right there at Jimmy’s feet.
