James Cameron, Mega-Climate Creationist, Chickens Out On Debate

Some are comparing him to the Goracle, but, really, Gore refuses to debate to start with

Hollywood director James Cameron challenged three high profile global warming skeptics to a public debate at a global warming and energy conference. But Cameron backed out of the debate at the last minute after environmentalists “came out of the woodwork” to warn him not to engage in a debate with skeptics because it was not in his best interest.

Cameron challenged Andrew Breitbart, Climate Depot’s Marc Morano and filmmaker Ann McElhinney of ‘Not Evil Just Wrong.’ The debate was already in the program for the Aspen American Renewable Energy Day (AREDAY) summit. The website program described the agreed to debate as “AREDAY Climate Change Debate: Reality or Fiction?”

After setting up the public global warming debate, Cameron and his negotiator then changed formats multiple times and initially said it would be open to the media and then said he would only participate if it was private with no recording devices. The skeptics agreed to all the changes. According to AREDAY organizers, activist Joseph Romm of Climate Progress urged Cameron not to go ahead with the debate as well.

Cameron’s cancellation of the agreed to debate did not happen until one debate participant (Morano) was already in mid-air, flying from DC to Aspen on Saturday August 21 to attend the debate. (AREDAY did grant Morano a 90 minute slot to speak at the summit. See: Climate Depot’s Presentation at Warmists’ Summit Met By Hostile Interrupting Moderator and Crowd; Call for Morano to Kill Himself!)

Anyone surprised? Climate creationists rarely debate, because they know that the “deniers” facts will trump the Believers emotions every time. And, notice that Cameron refused to allow recording devices, the media, and the public.

Ann McElhinney further slams Cameron

I was looking forward to debating with the film maker. I was looking forward to finding out where we agreed and disagreed and finding a way forward that would help the poorest people in the developing and developed world.

But that is not going to happen because somewhere along the way James Cameron, a great film maker, has moved from King of the World to being King of the Hypocrites.

Say, I wonder what kind of plane Cameron used to get to the conference?

    King of the Hypocrites indeed.

    I’m just a little curious, what scientific research has James Cameron ever done in some field related to climatology? Or geology? Or oceanography?

    And you’re crowing?

    Cameron seems to know when to use new movie technology as it gets developed (namely CGI). So he keeps track of film technology. That earns him much admiration from the viewing audience. But Global Warming, I could see through that Democrat Party fear game to promote their Political party into never needing to beg for financing again. It has failed (the e-mail discovery). Whats next the political party he loves is going to bankrupt the American Treasury. We are on that path now that started in 1996 as Dole failed to get laws to stop the housing loan problem regulated. This fall may not totally fix it, but it is a start.

    If Cameron wants to keep his honorable role maybe Avatar Two will be about paying for money you spend with money you have, because loans only make you a slave to who’s money you used and whom you pay as a slave to for using.

    As for Avatar being like the Trek fandom universe, unless he starts buying die hard fans, he’ll never get close to Star Trek because it came from some thing that was never created before. Today the technology is every where, so most anyone can do simular new things if movies.

    If anyone can now do it, you can not be the first one to do it and be the only one for decades to have that honor and love that Star Trek fans have deep in their hearts. This freedom of love Cameron can only rent, true love is earned not bought or rented.
