Scientists Threatened for 'Climate Denial'

Scientists who questioned mankind's impact on climate change have received death threats and claim to have been shunned by the scientific community.
They say the debate on global warming has been "hijacked" by a powerful alliance of politicians, scientists and environmentalists who have stifled all questioning about the true environmental impact of carbon dioxide emissions.
Timothy Ball, a former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg in Canada, has received five deaths threats by email since raising concerns about the degree to which man was affecting climate change.
One of the emails warned that, if he continued to speak out, he would not live to see further global warming.
"Western governments have pumped billions of dollars into careers and institutes and they feel threatened," said the professor.
"I can tolerate being called a sceptic because all scientists should be sceptics, but then they started calling us deniers, with all the connotations of the Holocaust. That is an obscenity. It has got really nasty and personal."
Last week, Professor Ball appeared in The Great Global Warming Swindle, a Channel 4 documentary in which several scientists claimed the theory of man-made global warming had become a "religion", forcing alternative explanations to be ignored.
Richard Lindzen, the professor of Atmospheric Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology - who also appeared on the documentary - recently claimed: "Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves labelled as industry stooges.
"Consequently, lies about climate change gain credence even when they fly in the face of the science."
Dr Myles Allen, from Oxford University, agreed. He said: "The Green movement has hijacked the issue of climate change. It is ludicrous to suggest the only way to deal with the problem is to start micro managing everyone, which is what environmentalists seem to want to do."
Nigel Calder, a former editor of New Scientist, said: "Governments are trying to achieve unanimity by stifling any scientist who disagrees. Einstein could not have got funding under the present system."
Some folks believe that scientists are objective and wish to deal only with cold, hard facts.
And, hey, a couple of them really are that way.
This should make it abundantly clear the totalitarian nature of the greens. Their goal is to ban science, technology, medicine and commerce so that most people die off. The survivors can work as serfs in gulags while green commissars exploit slave labor and live in luxury. The greens want to return to the days when most people were subsistence farmers or slaves. They want the world to be a primitive slave society that is ruled by green priests.
99.9% of scientists follow the data. Most of the folks behind global warming are politicians and activists.

The head of the brown shirts -- the original arm of the Nazis were the gay movement.
Yes the Gay movement was big in the NAZI arm used to take over Germany.
This is disgusting!!!
Indeed, the Nazi brownshirts were very gay-based in their composition and outlook. Why do you think S&M outfit leatherware seems often Nazi-esque in its appearance. No coincidence. 1920's Germany (Berlin in particular) was very avante garde, which is a fancy way of saying gay infested.
Of course, once others gained Hitler's ear, the gay aspect of the Brownshirts was merciless crushed by the other Nazi factions.
Very similar to the Jews being the driving force behind Russian communism, only to eventually having the totalitarian force turned 180 degrees upon them.

Climate-Denier here!
Living planet!
Several Ice Ages, Several Tropical Ages.
Planet must change, species must die to make way for new species. Includes animals, and plants.
God, didn't any of these people pay attention in biology or science class?
An honest scientist lets the facts verify his integrity, veracity. Try as he might, the failed integrity of the pseudo-scientist is destined to lose. I mean, how dumb can a pseudo-scientists be!?

In the 1960s and 1970s, Global Cooling was the big problem. Magazine articles and books warned us about it. Politicians demanded drastic measures to prevent a Nuclear Winter.
The current Global Warming junk science is just another political scam, but a majority of uneducated Americans believe it anyway.
Sounds like the 21st century version of the mob............
Glad you posted a link to that video - it's outstanding. I didn't time it but it seemed to be about an hour in length.
I remember the "Global Cooling" propaganda in the 60's and 70's. There was also the "Population Bomb" hysteria. The world was supposed to be so over-populated by the end of the century that there would be mass starvation all over the world. The Left always finds something to get hysterical about. There was the Nuclear Freeze Movement that said we must disarm our nuclear weapons even if the Soviets don't. They said if we stand up to the Soviets as Reagan wanted us to do, there would be a nuclear war and the world would be plunged into "nuclear winter." They said, "Better Red, than dead." They were wrong then and they're wrong now.
...well at least they didn't call you "faggots" or there would be real hell to pay...
This should also point out the dangers of research funding controlled by political entities. The key word here is "control."
