Shock Call To Action: 'At what point do
we jail or execute global warming deniers' -- 'Shouldn't we start punishing
them now?'
Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - By Marc Morano – Climate Depot
A
public appeal has been issued by an influential U.S. website asking: “At
what point do we jail or execute global warming deniers.” The appeal
appeared on Talking Points Memo, an often cited website that helps set the
agenda for the political Left in the U.S. The anonymous posting,
dated June 2, 2009, referred to dissenters of man-made global
warming fears as “greedy bastards” who use “bogus science or
the lowest scientists in the gene pool” to “distort data.”
The
Talking Points Memo article continues: “So when the right wing fucktards
have caused it to be too late to fix the problem, and we start seeing the
devastating consequences and we start seeing end of the World type events - how
will we punish those responsible. It will be too late. So shouldn't we start
punishing them now?"
The
article also claims the “vast majority” of scientists agree that
man-made warming “can do an untold amount of damage to life on
Earth.”

full text of the
Talking Points Memo is reproduced below:

Braggart")
At
what point do we jail or execute global warming deniers
June

What
is so frustrating about these fools is that they are the politicians and greedy
bastards who don't want a cut in their profits who use bogus science or the
lowest scientists in the gene pool who will distort data for a few bucks. The
vast majority of the scientific minds in the World agree and understand it's a
very serious problem that can do an untold amount of damage to life on Earth.
So
when the right wing fucktards have caused it to be too late to fix the problem,
and we start seeing the devastating consequences and we start seeing end of the
World type events - how will we punish those responsible. It will be too late.
So shouldn't we start punishing them now?

Depot Editor's Note:
The
Talking Points Memo appeal to execute skeptics is not unique. As the science
behind man-made global warming fears utterly collapses,
many of the biggest promoters of the theory and environmental activists are
growing increasingly desperate.
NASA's
James Hansen has called for trials of climate skeptics in 2008 for "high crimes against
humanity.” Environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lashed
out at skeptics of 2007 declaring “This is treason. And
we need to start treating them as traitors” In 2009, RFK,
Jr. also called coal companies "criminal
enterprises" and declared CEO's 'should be in jail... for all of
eternity."
In
2006, the eco-magazine Grist called for Nuremberg-Style
trials for skeptics. In 2008,
Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki called for government leaders skeptical
of global warming to be thrown “into
jail.” In 2007, The Weather Channel's climate expert
called for withholding
certification of skeptical meteorologists.
A
2008 report found that 'climate blasphemy'
is replacing traditional religious blasphemy. In addition, a July 2007 Senate
report detailed how skeptical scientists have faced threats and intimidation
In 2007, then
EPA Chief Vowed to Probe
E-mail Threatening to 'Destroy' Career of Climate Skeptic and dissenters
of warming fears have been called 'Climate Criminals'
who are committing 'Terracide' (killing of Planet Earth) (July 25, 2007)
In addition, in May 2009, Climate Depot Was Banned in Louisiana! See: State official
sought to 'shut down' climate skeptic's testimony at hearing
Below are many more
examples of the threats, name calling and intimidation skeptics have faced in
recent times.
November 12, 2007:
UN official warns ignoring warming would be 'criminally irresponsible' Excerpt: The
U.N.'s top climate official warned policymakers and scientists trying to hammer
out a landmark report on climate change that ignoring the urgency of global
warming would be "criminally irresponsible." Yvo de Boer's comments
came at the opening of a weeklong conference that will complete a concise guide
on the state of global warming and what can be done to stop the Earth from
overheating.

29. 2007: VA State Climatologist skeptical of global warming loses job after
clash with Governor:
'I was told that I could not speak in public' Excerpt: Michaels has argued that
the climate is becoming warmer but that the consequences will not be as dire as
others have predicted. Gov. Kaine had warned. Michaels not to use his official
title in discussing his views. "I resigned as Virginia state climatologist
because I was told that I could not speak in public on my area of expertise,
global warming, as state climatologist," Michaels said in a statement this
week provided by the libertarian Cato Institute, where he has been a fellow
since 1992. "It was impossible to maintain academic freedom with this
speech restriction." (LINK)
Skeptical State
Climatologist in Oregon has title threatened by Governor (February 8,
2007) Excerpt: “[State Climatologist George Taylor] does not believe
human activities are the main cause of global climate change...So the [Oregon]
governor wants to take that title from Taylor and make it a position that he
would appoint. In an exclusive interview with KGW-TV, Governor Ted Kulongoski confirmed
he wants to take that title from Taylor.
Skeptical State
Climatologist in Delaware silenced by Governor (May 2, 2007)
Excerpt: Legates is a state climatologist in Delaware, and he teaches at the
university. He`s not part of the mythical climate consensus. In fact, Legates
believes that we oversimplify climate by just blaming greenhouse gases. One day
he received a letter from the governor, saying his views do not concur with
those of the administration, so if he wants to speak out, it must be as an
individual, not as a state climatologist. So essentially, you can have the
title of state climatologist unless he`s talking about his views on climate?

'Internet should be nationalized as a public utility' to combat global warming
skepticism - Australian Herald Sun - Excerpt: British journalism
lecturer and warming alarmist Alex Lockwood says my blog is a menace to the
planet. Skeptical bloggers like me need bringing into line, and Lockwood tells
a journalism seminar of some options: There is clearly a need for research into
the ways in which climate skepticism online is free to contest scientific fact.
But there is enough here already to put forward some of the ideas in
circulation. One of the founders of the Internet Vint Cerf, and lead for
Google's Internet for Everyone project, made a recent suggestion that the
Internet should be nationalized as a public utility. As tech policy blogger Jim
Harper argues, “giving power over the Internet to well-heeled interests
and self-interested politicians” is, and I quote, “a bad
idea.” Or in the UK every new online publication could be required to
register with the recently announced Internet watchdog...

5, 2008: UK Scientist: 'BBC
SHUNNED ME FOR DENYING CLIMATE CHANGE' – UK Daily Express
Excerpt:
FOR YEARS David Bellamy was one of the best known faces on TV. A respected
botanist and the author of 35 books, he had presented around 400 programmes
over the years and was appreciated by audiences for his boundless enthusiasm.
Yet for more than 10 years he has been out of the limelight, shunned by bosses
at the BBC where he made his name, as well as fellow scientists and
environmentalists. His crime? Bellamy says he doesn't believe in man-made
global warming. Here he reveals why – and the price he has paid for not
toeing the orthodox line on climate change.
U.N. official says
it's 'completely immoral' to doubt global warming fears (May 10, 2007)
Excerpt:
UN special climate envoy Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland declared “it's
completely immoral, even, to question” the UN's scientific
“consensus."

Weather Channel
Climate Expert Calls for Decertifying Global Warming Skeptics (January 17,
2007) Excerpt: The Weather Channel's most prominent climatologist is advocating
that broadcast meteorologists be stripped of their scientific certification if
they express skepticism about predictions of manmade catastrophic global
warming. This latest call to silence skeptics follows a year (2006) in which
skeptics were compared to "Holocaust Deniers" and Nuremberg-style war
crimes trials were advocated by several climate alarmists.
