You might well be. You don’t have to defend yourself, It’s no my wish to put you in that position. I merely pointed out that useful discussions are those where there is a single and clear topic and that divergences are distracting and can be misconstrued, that’s all.
And yes, you were alleging @johnquiggin is bought by the #FossilFuelLobby. He is an academic of good reputation and does have #economic insights that are worth considering no matter which side of politics one supports IMHO. As for the #AustralianInstitute, I like what #RichardDenniss and #GregJericho have to say almost without excception (Neither of them are bought by #Fortesque or the fossil lobby BTW).

I don’t really want to argue with you. Thruth be known I abhor confrontations, physical or otherwise. Let there be peace between us dear tooter.
