James Cameron chickens out of debate with climate-change skeptics

[kokonut]

But then as the debate approached James Cameron’s side started changing the rules.

They wanted to change their team. We agreed.

They wanted to change the format to less of a debate—to “a roundtable”. We agreed.

Then they wanted to ban our cameras from the debate. We could have access to their footage. We agreed.

Bizarrely, for a brief while, the worlds most successful film maker suggested that no cameras should be allowed-that sound only should be recorded. We agreed.

Then finally James Cameron, who so publicly announced that he “wanted to call those deniers out into the street at high noon and shoot it out,” decided to ban the media from the shoot out…

And then, yesterday, just one day before the debate, his representatives sent an email that Mr. “shoot it out ” Cameron no longer wanted to take part. The debate was cancelled.

James Cameron is a filmmaker. Why would anyone think his opinion on global warming was worth anything anyway?

It shouldn't be news.

Agreed. I can only assume that he is also a Liberal, or this topic never gets posted.

it's because kokonut hated Avatars and claimed that it has subliminal message

Or he felt that he should have been allowed to play Cal, Rose's fiance on Titanic...

lol.

funny.

trying to make james cameron a scientist when in fact, he's just a filmmaker and is unlikely to have sufficient knowledge of climate changes.

lol. nice try.

next time, use a real scientist.

But.....why did Cameron open his mouth to begin with????

And where were his liberal playmates to help him???

Yeah but Cameron has some pull....when I saw Titanic in the theater a tremendous crash of thunder rocked the theater at the precise second the ship hit the iceberg.

Not kidding.

It knocked the power out and it didn't come back on. We got to see it later for free. Had to buy drinks and popcorn again though.

He opened his mouth. Four times he requested changes and four times people agreed to make those changes even if they were a bit bizarre. And at the last minute, he chickens out. Like TXgolfer said, where were his liberal friends to help him out. This should've been an "ace in the hole" for him yet he tried to control the setting to his advantage. But he chickens out at the end. Very interesting.

Then for a man so rich, he is a terrible coward.
