Think those advancing anthropogenic global warming theories are serious about their views? Well, an article from Sunday’s Telegraph should scare every person around the world about the zealotry and danger surrounding this issue (emphasis mine throughout):
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.
Shocked? Astounded? That’s only the beginning:
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.
Why is this happening in Ball’s view:
"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."
Other well-known skeptics agreed with Ball:
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."
It’s getting scary out there, folks.

At least on the political side, however some of you have also raised the issue of funding, jobs and grants to keep Al Gore and his band of merry men around the world on the crusade.
I don't know if you read it, but I mentioned a type of humanistic Spanish inquesition. Well these death threats on the dissenting experts (probably idle threats for now) shows that the pro-gw bunch are going to ride this mythical horse no matter what.

March 11, 2007 - 16:11 ET by BlazerGood observation radio. It's nothing but the disguised latest attempt at destroying capitalism. For now the issue of GW, have allowed it's cohorts to start thier own campaign of McCarthyism, and the MSM have latched on as well. They threaten dissenters livelihoods. They call dissenters "deniers" as if everyone who doesn't agree with GW is an agent of a holocaust against all of humanity.
Knowing liberals, if given the chance, they would have no problem taking it to the next level. I am sure there are a few Eco-Che Guevara's out there.

They feel threatened because if their funding dried up, a most apocalyptic, life-threatening, mind-bending, happening will occur to them.

I completely agree with the statement above. When I was in college (more than 10 years ago) all the "trendy" little liberal-pukes were majoring in environmental science and similar subjects. I can see why they feel threatened.

March 12, 2007 - 02:00 ET by liberal_bug_zapperLBZ built a time machine that could travel forward in time, up any timeline based upon entering in changes to the current political reality. Here is what he found 25 years in the future after Hillary Clinton won her bid for the Whitehouse in 2008 and appointed Algore to be administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, taking environmental groups by surprise and earning Hillary the title of grand savior of the planet by environmental groups.
LBZ was only able to retrieve one small portion from the newly amended Constitution......
Free Speech Amendment: Any speech, opinion, art or any other form of expression must first be vetted for any form of religious or other intolerant inferences, submitted for approval in triplicate three weeks in advance of the intended date of release and reviewed by a committee of no less than 15 liberal arts professors from every 'studies' program and finally, must not offend any minority group or any large evil religion that might get angry and declare a jihad against us.
Note: this process can take anywhere from six months to thirteen years as the lines at the Bureau of Free Speech Approval (BFSA) are quite long.

March 11, 2007 - 21:48 ET by SvenThese recent threats by these enviro-wackjobs, and the almost daily "new GW studies" indicating we're in more danger from GW than previously thought, tell me one thing: these people are in panic mode!
These smarmy creeps and their threats make me want to yell it even louder from the roof-tops: "Global Warming is nothing but a pile of hot horse Shite!" It has nothing to do with science, and everything to do with a politcal (read Socialist) agenda!

March 11, 2007 - 21:58 ET by NL207It may turn out that the AGW alarmists are right or partly right, but the science is a long way from settled. They have tipped their hand by revealing they don't WANT the science settled. They want power now and they do not care what the science eventually shows. I think some of them even know the science is still undecided, which is why the propaganda campaign to convince everyone it is.

March 11, 2007 - 22:03 ET by SvenNL,
I used the term GW, but should've used AGW. I believe the earth has heated and cooled in cycles.
These threats and all of the recent news stories citing one wacky study after another that we're going to fry, simply tells me they're very worried that their message is being trumped by legitimate science.
This article truly shows how
March 12, 2007 - 00:08 ET byThis article truly shows how far the wicked will go to rule the hearts of man, by way of fear. And I am meaning both in that they seek to fear people that the world is going to die soon and in that they seek to threaten lives of those who speak up against such idioticness.
Those who are seeking to control people by way of fear, are playing on the fact that most people have no hope of an after-life and are hanging on to this one for 'dear life.'
Those of us who know that we have a better life yet to come, do not fall so easily to fear tactics. And fact is, there needs to be a world for Jesus to come back to and rule & reign for 1000 years. Hence, this earth has at least 1000 years left.
And THIS is what 'having the abundant life,' is all about. It's all about 'hope,' hope in Christ. When you have hope in Christ, you don't fall for such stupidity as 'the world is going to end in 2010. Jeepers!
