The real nature of things with David Suzuki
Sun News ^ | February 27, 2013 | Jessica Hume

You can tell a lot about a person by the way they respond to being challenged.

Those with courage of conviction and the confidence that comes with real intellect will back their positions and rise to the occasion. Those whose sense of ego is mightier than their strength of character will retreat, resort to insults or not respond altogether.

So when David Suzuki – environmental guru, would-be benevolent dictator and all-around perfect human – arrived in Ottawa Tuesday evening to tell a church filled with a paying audience what a sustainable future looks like, he shocked his own loyal supporters by aggressively refusing to speak with this reporter and a cameraman (who’d only arrived after a media release about the event from the Green Party was sent to the national press corps).

When we first arrived we were welcomed, asked how long we’d like with the good doctor and where we should set up our shot. When it was revealed we represented Sun News, we were no longer welcome.

David Suzuki didn’t just refuse to speak to us. He refused to appear altogether, sending a handful of hostile event organizers to remove us from the premises. They would, eventually, but not before creating a real drama in front of a real audience that exposed the real nature of David Suzuki.

After much debate and my reiterating I would be staying to ask a question, one of the event-organizers-turned-Suzuki-mandated-attack-dogs turned to the sizable crowd, incensed that I wouldn’t leave quietly, and yelled for someone to call 911 – help! A reporter is trying to do her job!

He should have stuck to building those polluting motorcycles. Typical radical left wing extremist scumbag asshat. Warm is better. Crops grow farther north and as much as I don’t like hot weather, it’s a hell of lot easier to survive than cold weather.

Perfect example of how the frauds on the left operate in their own fantasy world. They don’t want to hear the truth. Just keep sending them the grant money to feed their warped political views. Same way Gore and the AGW/CO2 scam has been perpetuated even after the Climate gate emails revealed the data was manipulated and cherry picked by the scientists to arrive at the political conclusion they were seeking. Just don’t question them. OK

They basically “dismiss” us peons as know nothings and keep their hands out for “mo money”. Our dang money at that.

I once heard this guy on the radio talking about Rachel Carson and her book “Silent Spring” being his turning point in his life. I kid you freaking not! The guy is a fraud and is not a climate scientist he pretends to be.

You’re right about that- he is a geneticist by training but hasn’t done science of any kind in decades.

David Suzuki is nothing more than a fraud. He once stormed out of a live radio interview in Toronto because the host dared to challenge his science. What a child! Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH9Rj0NQvOQ

Sorry... that’s not the show where he stormed out. But it does show that he is a lying liar and shows how out to lunch he is.
