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. It’s going to kill a lot more. We have laws on the books to punish anyone whose lies contribute to people’s deaths. It’s time to punish the climate-change liars.
This is an argument that’s 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 doesn’t 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 Suzuki’s 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.
It’s obvious that this has now become a religion. To deny the existence of man-made global warming is now heresy.
Another nobody.
I wish I could find just ONE of these “smart people” who can explain just how it is global warming works. How does CO2 know which way down is?

We do?
And how are they able to measure an inch with high precision when they are using a yardstick.
IOW.....”We want to have the choice to exterminate who we want and not leave it to nature.”
It is a tacit understanding between storyteller and audience. The storyteller weaves a fantastical tale and, for the duration of the tale-telling, the audience willingly suspends its disbelief in, say, talking animals or scary monsters or post-apocalyptic Earth.
But there are limits to suspension of belief.

[ IOW.....”We want to have the choice to exterminate who we want and not leave it to nature.” ]
Funny how those to belive exclusively in evolution and nature resort to intelligent design BY MAN!!!!
I’m guessing that there’s just a bit of a correlation between “deniers” and “firearms ownership”
This little twerp volunteering to go out and take part in the attempted arrests he’s advocating for?
“IOW.....”We want to have the choice to exterminate who we want and not leave it to nature.”
The world would be a much better place if liberals could just kill all of the non-believing infidels, right?
Then I suppose all the Obama voters need to be rounded up and tossed in prison. Actually i'm pretty much okay with that.
“The Climate Taliban.”
The “Turner Diaries” for Liberal eco-whackos
I swear these people are Nazis. Chilling.
The most honest, sincere, mindless panic possible.
I belive in the heat island effect of big liberal cities is what is screwing with the climate, does that mean I only get Probation?
