This blew me away. (I know I know, it’s a couple of weeks old but I haven’t had much time to surf a few of my favourite blogs the past month).
A writer for Grist, an environmental magazine that in the past has featured interviews with Al Gore and Bill Moyers, is calling for war crimes trials against so-called climate change “deniers” who disagree with the theory that humans have caused global warming. David Roberts says: “when the impacts are really hitting us and we’re in a full worldwide scramble to minimize the damage, we should have war crimes trials for these bastards — some sort of climate Nuremberg.”
The Holocaust references drew criticism from Roger Pielke Jr. of the University of Colorado’s Center for Science and Technology Policy Research — who says he believes in human-caused global warming. He said “this allusion is an affront to those who suffered and died in the Holocaust. This allusion has no place in the discourse on climate change.”
Considering I have been a huge proponent of the fact that over 97% of Green House Gases are water vapour, and that the earth has a self healing process that has produced ice age after ice age and warming after warming, I guess I am going to be one of those that eventually get locked up for putting science ahead of leftist fear mongering.
When that day comes, I will once again be able to say that I have been Officially Screwed.

My liability comes from having done a little family history and finding that the “hockey stick” diagram that was used to promote the idea of human caused global warming was wrong. It ignored the Middle Ages Optimum and the Little Ice Age, both of which are well-documented.
It didn’t need much further research to discover that human caused global warming was an artifact of flawed computer models and ideological claptrap. I am too old for a long jail term. Can I just recant instead?

Well if that’s the sandbox the moonbats want to play in then its time to roundup all the anti-DDT activists who are responsible for the deaths of millions of third world women and children due to malaria carrying mosquitoes.
Now what punishiment would fit the crime?
Or can we maybe finally agree that free speech isn’t such a bad thing after all?

Jim (#1) Don’t give up now!!!
MoneyBags (#2) you hit the nail on the head with that remark and drove it clean into the heart of the issue. Well said.
