Ridd’s speaking tour has been hosted by regional branches of the sugarcane growers peak body, Canegrowers, and the Australian Environment Foundation, a charity set up by the rightwing thinktank the Institute of Public Affairs, with strong links to the agriculture and fossil fuel industries.

Do you expect it to be set up by someone with your agenda?

My God man. Such silly reasoning. That is a very stupid reason to dismiss the conclusions. That is a complete faith-based belief to do so. And you guys wonder why we classify you guys as cultists...

Are you saying all speakers to events are "on the take?"

Can you prove he's a "paid off hack?"

No... You cannot. But then you do like slanering those you don't like. Don't you...

Well, there are good examples of that.

Barack Obama... Bill Clinton... etc.

Just how much do they make being paid speakers at events?

They don't deny it. Never have. They just aren't frightened like a little girl from its small effects. They do like partaking in the free money you support for in the forms of green subsidies.

I'm just trying to understand how you know so much.

He has the D-K effect. Thinks he knows more than he does. He couldn't possible "know" what he thinks he knows.

In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence.
