May be Bob is on an expenses paid, world wide tour, jetting here, there, and everywhere, telling people to cut fown their carbon footprint.
The rest of the Grantham Institute may be concerned about possible dangerously high levels of CO2 in a public debating arena. They have certainly scared enough people about the dire consequences, and sheer difficulties of existing in such a hostile environment.
I read an interesting article recently on how cartoonists develop their caricatures. The Blair one was so well developed that all was needed was that mad staring eye to associate with the former PM.
The problem is not the Grantham Institute, nor may I say Bob Ward, but with Pielke Jnr and the notion of academic respect.
We know GI is an alarmist organisation, we know full well too that Ward is just a GI paid knuckle-dragger (not a mouse). Pielke Jnr is upset because feels GI are being disrepectful. That can only be if Pielke Jnr holds a high opinion of GI and requires himself some acknowledgement from this organisation that he exists academically. I have no sympathy for Pielke Jnr - more fool him.
Pete, I remember Swindle, and it was very good, even if a graph was wrongly used in the first edition.
I don't have time to search it out, but I recall that YouTube remembers the programme too: The Great Global Warming Swindle was the full title if memory serves, and I should expect it is still relevant: it is not as if the CAGW hypothesis has moved on much, bar a change or two of name.
I can not remember what made me sceptical to start with (probably just bloody minded hehe) but I know what reinforced that scepticism and it was a two page article in the Telegraph by Monkton, full of facts theories and graphs. A week later there was a two page reply by Al Gore, full of disaster photos with only two supposed facts, both of which were false ^.^

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Josh strikes again! Brilliant! Captures Bob Ward
(FGS)(FFS) :-D"Gosh that was a quick transformation". From man to mouse in one move would do.
But Bob's got 'robust and compelling evidence'. Somewhere. He even told the Science Museum so.

For those that haven't seen it, here is why Bob is not able to "debate" he can't even have a discussion with an AGW believer.
This should improve his ability to communicate with his friend Micky. Oh Mannn
Thanks for the link ZT.
Is Ward's strange voice a failure in his electronics or an attempt to synthesise what a mouse might sound like? It's certainly non-human.
Brilliant.

Beautiful Josh!

Thanks Josh, really funny. Thanks ZT for that reminder. Here's mine.
Is it a mouse or a rat?
Thanks for the link ZT. I couldn't stomach watching it all. All I can add is that Josh's cartoons convey a remarkable likeness.

FGS Bob Ward's is developing nicely.
Great stuff Josh :)
Tks for that link Lucy, if only Ch4 would do another, updated, version of "swindle", I know many people for whom it was their original seed of doubt.

I never realised before. Bob Ward is a Vulcan!
Well, whatever, the descent to Mus seems reasonable.

If you're old enough to remember the "Eagle" comic, BW is a Mekon.
