A Cambridge professor has claimed that three scientists investigating climate change in the Arctic may have been assassinated.
Professor Peter Wadhams insists Seymour Laxon, Katharine Giles and Tim Boyd could have been murdered by someone possibly working for the oil industry or within government forces.
The trio had been studying the polar ice caps - with a focus on sea ice - when they died within a few months of each other in 2013.
Professor Laxon, 49, a director of the Centre for Polar Observation at University College London, was at a New Year's Eve party in Essex when he fell down a flight of stairs and died.
Meanwhile oceanographer Dr Boyd, 54, was out walking his dogs near his home in Port Appin, Argyll, western Scotland, in January 2013 when he was struck by lightning and killed instantly.
Just months later in April, Dr Giles, 35, was cycling to work at UCL where she lectured when she was hit by a tipper truck in Victoria, central London, and died.

Dick Cheney’s weather machine?
Probably not far off though...
11Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
No leap there, prof.
This is supernatural at this point.

Guess he never heard the story of the kite and the key.
Maybe from the point of view of an apostle from the first century viewing a vision but it could very possibly be rooted in modern technology if it performs the same function . The mark of the beast will no doubt be rooted in technology of its time.
Bad stuff can happen. Wadhams had one too many bottles of Newcastle.
I want to be able to strike some one with lightning
Nice Viking kitteh.
Found an article that said Wadhams had 10 consecutive GRANT applications denied.
Professor Wadhams should acquaint himself with Occam’s razor - it might help him to reconsider the viability of his theories before spouting such rubbish...
Maybe they were killed by ordinary folks who are just damn tired of these folks screwing up their day to day life.
Yes, but how did the professor get the dog airborne?

His thought process is right up there with climate change.
I like my big chocolate chip cookies chock full of academia nuts
Pass the milk.
Since when do assassins use lightning to kill people???
The evil oil companies do control the weather donchaknow
- Stairs are getting more slippery as the earth heats up, or cools. Anyway, smart scientists never drink too much, especially with Climate Change afoot.
- Thunderstorm activity is more common because the earth is getting hotter, or cooling.
- As the earth heats up, or cools, there is more fog, making it harder for truck drivers to see.
What is frustrating is that they were this close to getting to be World Controllers.
If only intellectuals were honored in the West as in North Korea:
“when he was struck by lightning and killed instantly.”
MY GOD! He was assassinated by lightning! That really, really scares me. Imagine, the climate deniers being able to program lightning to kill phony scientists. I had no idea that could happen.
What’s next? Toilet bowls that flush them or their personal parts down the drain at will?
Oh! The horror of it all.
