QUESTIONABLE CLAIM UNQUESTIONED
Sir Nicholas Stern repeated his absurd Chinese automotive standards claim during a speech Wednesday at the National Press Club (no transcript available).
The room was filled with journalists. Not one of them challenged Stern on this.
(Although, to be fair, they didn’t have much chance. An attendee emails: “Unfortunately the entire freaking Press Club address was hijacked by left-wing wankers pandering to Stern and I missed out on asking a question.”)
Meanwhile, Lee at RightThinking emails: “As someone who has actually lived in China I know firsthand how completely full of shit the lefties quoted in your article are, and I’ve got the photos to prove it.”
