Armed Response

At a UN press conference in Copenhagen, journalist Phelim McAleer ('Mine Your Own Business', 'Not Evil Just Wrong') asks IPCC Coordinating Lead Author Stephen Schneider a pointed question about the 'Climategate' scandal. McAleer is interrupted twice by Prof Schneider's assistant and then an armed UN security guard is ordered to stop McAleer' camera. At a UN press conference. Watch it here.


 


Back in October, the same sort of thing happened to McAleer at a meeting of the  Society of Environmental Journalists in Wisconsin when he tried to ask Al Gore about proven falsehoods in his global warming movie "An Inconvenient Truth". Journalists protected Gore by turning off McAleer 's microphone.
