Last week I conducted an extensive interview with Max Allen of the Canadian Broadcast Corporation. [,,,] Well, after pondering this, I emailed Max Allen some talking points for our interview, which forms the basis of the essay below related to the interview, and also includes responses to some questions I was asked during the interview.
Read it all, and then tune into IDEAS this evening for Head Explosions, Part 1.
Sorry! No can do. Nothing will make me watch or listen to CBC until the headline of the day is “CBC Privitized!!”
BC
Won’t watch it live….but am setting the PVR so I can ‘see’ what the CBC calls ‘balanced’ without suffering the terrible, self-gratifying commercial breaks they use.
It looks like the podcast is already available – no need to list live:

A very thoughtful and though provoking article by Dr. Curry. I shudder to think how Mothercorpse will distort it in their pogrom.
She claims that you could not predict how scarves would move but you could predict the parameters they would in. That is because in this instance you control the wind ie. the fans.
In the real world you do not control the wind therefore you probably, better yet most likely can not predict anything. You need to watch the video in the article.
On a side not goggle Energy Probe Research Foundation and see what Max Allen and Andrew Coyan are up to.
Just finished listening to the podcast. They started out with the expected demonization of mining and burning coal, but then segued to a surprisingly fair and thoughtful discussion with Judith Curry.
They even had excerpts from Ross Mckitrick that were surprisingly fair.
Quite astounding to hear stuff like that on the CBC. I wonder if someone will get fired over it.
CBC radio – propagating the world’s worst/innaccurate/discarded ideas.
I love the smug superiority of the CBC1 personalities who host the science, philosophical and theological programming – they always present ideas either discarded by more advanced thinking or some wobbly post modern gobeldegook tarted up as philosophy – all of which lack the prime ingredient of classic thinking which propelled the west to freedom\justice\affluence – REASON.
It seems like a oxymoron presenting un reasoned premises as philosophy but the CBC does it – I often wonder what type of unhinged crackpots follow these programs. Pack it up and sell it it ain’t the BBC and never will be.
The main reason Andrew Weaver has done the suck up to oilsands and dumped all over coal is the fact that this whole SCAM has fallen apart at the crooks and with a lawsuit against Tim Ball looking more and more like failing Mr. Weaver has indulged in major “butt covering” nothing more. The rats are scurrying and it is fun to watch, just think if the lawsuits start to point fingers at the fraudsters, to funny.
Judith Curry seemed to have blowed Max Allen up real good.

Small minds will always avoid exposure to anything that might challenge their preconcieved notions.

Said the commenter who truly believes he’s the smartest person in any room. …tiresome, bloviating, and often wrong
“Small minds will always avoid exposure to anything that might challenge their preconcieved notions.”
Exactly. The CBC is so narrow minded. Just end it now.
…tiresome, bloviating, and often wrong
And so unaware of it that’s it’s actually comical…
Wow, Head Explosions, indeed. I have to say that if this type of journalism was what we got from the CBC on a regular basis, the billion taxpayer bucks spent on it would be a bargain.
It’s easy for me to say that, of course, because the host Max Allen and his guests provide a surprising corroboration to what most who attend here thanks to Kate McMillan, as well as people at other “denier” websites have been saying about AGW for years. I like to think, though, that I could listen to someone try to make the opposite case, were it presented in the same rational fashion.
If you have not listened to the podcast, you should.
