Adam Weinstein, of the Gawker, has added his voice to the growing list of greens, who demand a brutal authoritarian response to the vexing problem of people who have a different opinion.
According to Weinstein;
Man-made climate change happens. Man-made climate change kills a lot of people. Its going to kill a lot more. We have laws on the books to punish anyone whose lies contribute to peoples deaths. Its time to punish the climate-change liars.
This is an argument thats just being discussed seriously in some circles. It was laid out earlier this month, with all the appropriate caveats, by Lawrence Torcello, a philosophy professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
Weinstein bases his claim that man made climate change kills a lot of people on a WHO page, which estimates that 150,000 people per annum are dying because of climate related extreme weather and other problems, such as crop failure.
However, this claim simply doesnt stand up to scrutiny. Even the IPCC has failed to establish a link between CO2 and extreme weather. In addition, the rise in CO2 has so far been strongly beneficial for crop yields satellites have detected a substantial greening of the planet, thanks largely to the fertilisation effect of the rise in atmospheric CO2.
In recent years we have all seen a worrying surge of hate speech against climate skeptics, and a disturbing level of political acquiescence in the face of murderous fantasy and intolerance. These incidents include a government sponsored celebration of climate murder in a theatre production, MSM cartoons celebrating political violence, more cartoons, proposals for soviet style forced reeducation, calls for the death penalty, calls for deniers to be jailed, wishes for divine retribution against deniers, the gruesome 10:10 video fantasy about murdering the children of deniers, and prominent environmentalist David Suzukis repeated calls for deniers to be jailed, here, and here. There have been far too many threats against the liberty and lives of ordinary people, whose crime against humanity is to believe that 18 years with no change in global temperature, might be an indication that the climate crisis has been exaggerated.

The WORST KIND!
Global Warming on Free Republic
That dude looks like he should be flipping burgers, not pontificating about climate change skeptics.
“Then I suppose all the Obama voters need to be rounded up and tossed in prison. Actually i’m pretty much okay with that. “
Works for me!
They can arrest me, after they pry my gun from my cold dead fingers.

Clearly Adam Weinstein is completely ignorant of the history of science. They locked up Galileo for denying what the 99% consensus of existing scientists had to say about the fundamental settled science of astronomy that the Sun rotated around the Earth, but the Earth continued to rotate around the sun anyway.
A few of the other scientists who correctly bucked the 99% consensus and thereby revolutionized their respective sciences were, Louis Pasteur, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, Alfred Wegener, Antoine Lavoisier, Robert T. Bakker, and Robin Warren and Barry J. Marshall. Fortunately for humanity, though, psychotic mass murders like Adam Weinstein weren’t put in charge of slaughtering scientific heretics during those times.
Adam Weinstein should try reading The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn and he MIGHT realize that the history of science is nothing BUT the 99% consensus of WRONG scientists being overturned by the 1% minority with truth on their side.
Fortunately for humanity, psychotic mass murders like Weinstein weren’t in charge during those times.
The urge to save humanity is always a false

Watched Ed on MSNBC. His guest, Chris LeHane now with NextGen Climate action group. Be prepared for the brownshirts.
We do?
Yeah, the one's we'll be prosecuting Hillary under... Hillary caused the deaths of SEALS at Benghazi. Goose and Gander thing...
Another nobody who is begging for a dirt nap if he keeps up with the threats.
Science is easy....if you just go with the flow.
