Is a holocust for "Global Warming" opponents far behind?
Subject: [ctrl] Environmental Magazine Advocates War Crimes Trials For
Global Warming Skeptics
This is pretty extraordinary stuff, folks. The U.S. Senate Committee on
Environment & Public Works has just issued a majority statement about an
environmental magazine advocating Nuremberg-like war crimes trials for folks
that question the existence of man-made global warming:
A U.S. based environmental magazine that both former Vice President Al Gore
and PBS newsman Bill Moyers, for his October 11th global warming edition of
?Moyers on America? titled ?Is God Green?? have deemed respectable enough to
grant one-on-one interviews to promote their projects, is now advocating
Nuremberg-style war crimes trials for skeptics of human caused catastrophic
global warming. Grist Magazine?s staff writer David Roberts called for the
Nuremberg-style trials for the ?bastards? who were members of what he termed
the global warming ?denial industry.?
Amazing. The statement continued:
Roberts wrote in the online publication on September 19, 2006, "When we've
finally gotten serious about global warming, 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.?
Gore and Moyers have not yet commented on Grist's advocacy of prosecuting
skeptics of global warming with a Nuremberg-style war crimes trial. Gore has
used the phrase "global warming deniers" to describe scientists and others
who don't share his view of the Earth's climate. It remains to be seen what
Gore and Moyers will have to say about proposals to make skepticism a crime
comparable to Holocaust atrocities.
This invective has drawn criticism even from folks that support global
warming theories:
The use of Holocaust terminology has drawn the ire of Roger Pielke, Jr. of
the University of Colorado's Center for Science and Technology Policy
Research. ?The phrase ?climate change denier? is meant to be evocative of
the phrase ?holocaust denier,?? Pielke, Jr. wrote on October 9, 2006. ?Let's
be blunt. 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. I
say this as someone fully convinced of a significant human role in the
behavior of the climate system,? Pielke, Jr. explained.
Apparently, this is not a new affectation:
The article Global Warming: The Chilling Effect On Free Speech last week in
Spiked Online addresses this new found penchant by environmentalists and
some media members to charge skeptics of human caused catastrophic global
warming with ?crimes against humanity? and urge Nuremberg-style prosecution
of them.
Yikes. So, folks that disagree with junk science should now be tried for
voicing their opinions? Truly unbelievable.
