Or is it to reassure them they won’t be out of jobs when it turns out they’re wrong? In the back of their wee little minds, it must be a concern.

Consistent with my Sicilian ethnicity, why don’t I just pick one and keep patting him on the back until small holes start appearing between my fingers?

Another national embarrassment on these pages. Could someone introduce a rule that number of stories be proportional to GNP or size of armed forces or something.

You know, I still can’t understand if it is humor, sarcasm, or the bare truth. And I suppose that’s a compliment for the author.

I’d rather kiss a miner.

I am not sure if it is possible to find a real climate scientist, while there are lots of “climate scientists” sucking hard at the grants teat, or producing ever more alarming scare stories in order to justify their bloated salaries.
If I find one, I will hug him/her just for the hell of it, before giving him/her an invoice for all the damage and unnecessary expense they are causing.

That is beyond precious. Imagine going up to Mike Mann or Ben Santer and giving them a spontaneous big hug. it brings tears to my eyes (of laughter).

Sounds desperate to me. And THAT sounds like music in my ears.
They’re losing and they know it.

This seems to me to be a typical MSM ‘if it bleeds, it leads’ beat-up. I’m sure that even most warmists don’t believe that their opponents are licenced to kill them, except with verbal missiles and scientific arguments, none of which have the headlin-making potebtial of ‘reported’ deat threats!

Are these the blokes (and blokettes) who appeared in The Hungry Beast’s : “I’m a Climate Scientist” video a few weeks back?

Clasp them to your bosom? Oh, I thought an Australian hug was hand around the throat. 😉

What does one do if one encounters Ben Santer on June 10?

Please, please tell me this isn’t meant to be taken seriously!

Apparently the death threats are a hoax, just as AGW itself:

These people are so desperate, that it’s almost funny, only if they weren’t potentially ruining everybodies lifes.

“Find a fellow warmenist and cling trembling to each other in the knowledge that it’s too late for even the adorable Climate Scientists to save us”
Save us from what? The next ice age?

Australia is really losing it. Apart from the climate stupidity, they now have probably lost their entire cattle export trade which will be replaced by Brazilian etc cattle and no one will even care…..

So the point of this cartoon is that Aussie climate scientists and their followers don’t have oppose-able thumbs? (just judging from the the pics of course ) . Long noses too. 😉

Just keep an eye on their hands when doing the hug. You might lose your wallet and your watch
