Of smurf and swine: James Cameron should read The Daily Caller

It’s not the first time that Cameron has taken the anger approach on the topic of AGP. Last March, Mr. Cameron extended the environmentalist “Appeal to Authority” by claiming that he wanted to “call those deniers out into the street at high noon and shoot it out with those boneheads.” Per Daily Caller, the “Appeal to Authority” is:

“Appeal to Authority” – This seems to be the first line of defense for global warming advocates. They often appeal to their authority by citing ‘irrefutable evidence,’ ‘consensus’ and such to assert authority and stifle debate. Recently, 31,000 climate scientists have signed the Petition Project. Also, top international climate scientists recently sent the United Nations a petition that challenges the UN’s global warming agenda. Settled science? Hardly.

Director Cameron put the offer of a high-noon street debate on the table and an exchange of sorts was in the works for months. Proponents and skeptics were scheduled to duke it out in the realm of ideas and science. The “bonehead high-noon shootout at the Global Warming corral” (as Daily Caller’s Jim Treacher alludes to as well) was to be a ringing success.

But alas, and all too predictably, James Cameron scheduled, re-scheduled, obfuscated and eventually cancelled the “shootout.”

What a shame as a Western-themed discussion would have made for a much better movie than a stereotypical  three-hour leftist treatise presentation on azure-pigmented, capitalism-loathing, earth-worshiping, technology-disparaging aliens from a distant planet.
