I’m going to the Ian Plimer event. I am hoping it will be a proper debate rather than a load of denialists congratulating themselves on how clever they are to see through the global AGW conspiracy. Here’s hoping…

[...] Posted in Conservatives, History, Hysteria, Media, Other blogs, Politics, Society at 10:08 am by Paul Sagar After previously supporting the vacuous (and dangerous) nonesense that there is a link between the MMR vaccine and autism, and after recently deciding to join the ranks of the global warming deniers, The Spectator editor Fraser Nelson has decided to go for Aids denialism as well (and again).

And let’s add MMR vaccine wingnut conspiracy theory to the charge-sheet:

Love that “debate that won’t go away”. In the manner of persistent athlete’s foot.

The event seems to have been cancelled, or so rumours have it. Unverified … I did ask for confirmation late last night, but have no reply.

One possible issue is whether it was possible to get a viable panel.

It is no longer on the Spectator events page, though the global warming debate with Ian Plimer remains available
http://www.spectator.co.uk/shop/events/

It was there last night at this link, which is now dormant
http://www.spectator.co.uk/shop/events/5402473/spectator-debate-a-world-without-aids.thtml

Some tweets as to possibly why here, with one of the billed speakers said to have said it have said it has been called off… Several earlier suggestions that Norman Fowler had pulled out,

Personally, I criticised the thinking behind the event – which I think is countering speech with speech – and didn’t argue for them to pull it. I hope almost all of those who think the film is rubbish don’t think it should be banned …
