Moho:

“Lefroy. As I said, failure to understand what conflict of interest means puts you at the back of the line. Grab a dunce cap on the way around.”

Well, let’s see who’s the dunce. How does a directorship of a “mining company” raise a conflict of interest? Plimer’s directorships are: Ivanhoe (copper, gold, uranium); CBH Resources (zinc, lead and silver); and Kefi Minerals (gold). I got this info in 5 minutes research on the website of the Australian Securities Exchange.

Who’s the dunce? How does mining for copper, gold, lead, silver and uranium logically conflict with being an AGW skeptic? (Uranium – the reverse!!)

If Plimer were a coal miner or oil prospector, your suggestion of an undeclared “conflict” may have some merit. But no, the half-educated person that you are, you think “AGW skepticism – director of mining companies – conflict!”, without subjecting your childish logic to the most basic scrutiny.

Go and adjust your thinking, sonny, before you try to mix it around here.
