WARMING DEADLIER THAN HITLER
May 14 2005
GLOBAL warming is a bigger threat to the world than Hitler, a leading historian has warned.
Dr Jim Hunter told a conference on renewable energy that it would finish the job of the Highland Clearances Dr Hunter, former chairman of Highlands and Islands Enterprise, said Scottish communities would be obliterated over the next two generations by climate change.
He said: 'Global warming is a more insidious and longer-term danger than Hitlerism,but it's one that could be far more deadly
Dr Hunter added that windfarm objectors in the Highland and Western Isles were missing a very serious point.
He said: 'In 1940, the notion that an airbase should be resisted because of the way it would irrevocably alter the nature and the character of the community that hosted it would have seemed patently absurd.
'The Nazi threat was deemed, correctly, to be a greater hazard to our way of life than the concrete and the tarmac being spread across the landscape.'
Dr Hunter, director of the UHI Centre for History in Dornoch, was speaking at a conference being hosted on the Knoydart peninsula
So is global warming worse than Bush?
I'm so confused.
Another Art bell alert.
But Dr. Hunter you do, of course, realize that Adolf Hitler was REAL.
Well, he didn't go so far as to say that. ;>)
That last time the earth's temperature dropped - the Little Ice Age from the late medieval period - it and the plague which it had a hand in causing killed about a third of the population of Asia and Europe.
In the last hundred years or so we have recovered. Though it is arguable we have not fully recovered yet.
The point here being the environuts were more right in the 70s when they worried about an environmental disaster due to global cooling then they are now when they now claim we are all going to die from global warming.
So is global warming worse than Bush?
FOTFL! Hell no, it's Bush fault.
-- Captain Hyperbole.
I wish they'd pass out programs.
A historian is lecturing us on the Weather?
Scotland's daytime average will be 90 degrees this summer!
Well 45 in the morning and 45 in the afternoon.

Well, Bush caused Global Warming. Global Warming worse than Hitler. Ergo Bush worse than Hitler.
But we already knew that, didn't we?
I'm waiting for global warming to be greater than Stalin and Stalinism.. Hitler was chump change.. Even Mao was worse than Hitler..
Its like a million hitlers together!! Imagine the worst thing ever! now times it by bajillion!! Thats not even half as bad as it really is!!!
............................"Ha! Amatuers!"
Now we're expected to listen to a historian lecturing on science?
The historian is absolutely correct. Since Hitler has been dead for 60 years, he isn't much of a threat.
Interesting that Europe's narcissitic culture and socialist economics are causing the same havoc with their population today. Global warming better hurry up if it is to get the credit for the decline in European population.
