Journalist versus the sceptics. Listen if you have no pity | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

The global warming debate in Brisbane between Lord Monckton and Professor Ian Plimer on the one hand and warmists Professor Barry Brook and green journalist Graham Readfearn on the other can now be heard here.

This is another proof of the maxim that journalists sound most authoritative when they are protected from debate. Take David Marr, who sounded like the Prophet Elijah when allowed to preach unchallenged at Media Watch, but is surprisingly ineffectual in debate on the panel on Insiders. That Readfearn could have dared to write for the Courier Mail for so long as its expert on global warming seems farcical when he’s put on a stage with people who actually know a little of the subject themselves.

About half of businesses surveyed by county and city enterprise boards around the country now say they are being treated worse by their banks than they were last summer. Most of these guys aren't looking for much. They are not looking for the kinds of huge loans developers got. They are not looking for huge injections of capital to expand. Most of them are looking for an overdraft to get through the next month. Lots of them have had a tough January. Lots of them saw business down by up to 90 per cent in the recent cold weather.
