(Global) Warming Deadlier Than Hitler

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

Excuse me? I thought George W. Bush was deadlier than Hitler.

The world's gonna end in two centuries?? Silly me. And here I was thinking liberals darkly warned it would end at midnight! More global warming baloney from the kooky Left.

Bottom line...this earth...has never had a flat guaranteed stable and continuous climate. Once everyone figures this out...the hot air in the global warming ballon is completely gone. We can smoke all of the juka weed we want...and completely shut down every smokestack in the world, and imprison GW for 1000 years...but it won't stablize the environment or bring bring climate controls to this planet.

The historian is absolutely correct. Since Hitler has been dead for 60 years, he isn't much of a threat.

LMAO!

So we now have historians making assessments of climate change. I wonder where he obtained is expertise in climatology? Then again, if "scientists" from fields as divers as astrophysics to marine biology are "qualified" to comment on climate change it must be a pretty simple subject. :0)

On the subject of wind farms, in Northern California they are one of the worse environmental disasters that we face. The geniuses who built the wind farms in the Altamont Pass east of San Francisco failed to take into account that the pass is a major flyway used by migratory raptors - it seems your average falcon likes a good tail wind when he's migrating.

Of course since it was a "green" program there was no serious environmental assessment made before they put the giant bird swatters in. Since hawks, owls and falcons have no genetic programming to tell them "watch out for giant metal blades in your flight path going a hundred miles an hour" and since the windmills turn at about the average altitude of a migrating raptor the result is occasionally, uh, messy.

He's right. Since "Global warming" is a Eco-Marxist propaganda tool, and the Eco-Marxists are spread throughout the Western Allies in a giant Fifth Column, then "Global warming" is a bigger threat than Adolf Hitler.

Plus the fact that the SI unit of Evil is a 'Nazi'. Evil is metric and there are 1000 Nazis in a Bormann, and a thousand Bormanns in a Hitler.

The unit of innocence - ie that which every member of the intellectual left embodies in their selfless protection of innocent victims (the environment, racial 'minorities', etc) is harder to define. But it consists of mixture of little brown children, fluffy puppy dogs, birds, flowers, etc
