Plimer resorts to attack as the best form of defence | Environment | guardian.co.uk
Ian Plimer agreed to be asked, in writing, a series of questions by George Monbiot about apparent errors and uncited claims in his book. Plimer has not yet responded, except to provide a list of convoluted questions back to Monbiot.
If Plimer merely does this, and does not answer Monbiot's direct questions, it will be pretty much impossible to read it other than having the subtext "hey, I am a Professor, I know so much more than you, mere journalist, that I don't have to provide citations for any claim, or explain any apparent error."
I hope Andrew Bolt is reading this exchange.
Update: this comment in the thread following Monbiot's post provides a good "translation" of what Plimer's questions mean.
