Dissident Scientists Receiving Death Threats

Some snippets:

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.

"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."

(...)

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."


Read it all for yourself.


Indeed... the alarmists are getting nasty. But no surprise there. They're liars, scammers, crooks and just plain leftwing extremists. A bit of nastiness from such people is to be anticipated.

Wonder how much nastier they'll get? What comes after threatening the dissidents with "not living to see further global warming"?

Scientists who cannot tolerate alternative theories, can no longer be considered to be legitimate scientists... but rather something else. What should we call them?

Hmm... what was "Doctor" Mengele? (The infamous Nazi "doctor") A doctor? No. He was... a monster.

The alarmists are liars, scammers, money lovers, bullies and potentially even worse.

It's starting to take on a feel similar to that of organized crime... or totalitarianism.
