A Polite Discourse with Professional Climate Alarmist David Suzuki
Guest post by Jim Lakely of the Heartland Institute
Back in March, The Heartland Institute sent professional Canadian climate alarmist David Suzuki – formerly on the board of Canada’s notoriously left-wing David Suzuki Foundation – a copy of Rael Isaac’s excellent book, Roosters of the Apocalypse. Today, while rummaging through my over-filled inbox, I saw an envelope from this “esteemed scientist” that arrived two weeks ago. Even in the address he put down for Heartland’s world headquarters, Suzuki exposed his childish contempt for those who disagree with his faith-based climate views.
(See the envelope below)
Then there is the note Suzuki wrote on our cover letter for the book.
In case you couldn’t make that out, let me type it for you:
I am a scientist and I take great umbrage at being sent such a load of crap from a bullshit shill organization for the oil industry. You are the most anti-science group I can imagine.
David Suzuki.
Quite an imagination, considering. But Suzuki left off the Xs and Os. I’m crushed. At least I set him back $3.70 Canadian.
I guess David didn’t get the memo that we should tone down the rhetoric and try to get along. Of course he’s wrong about us, but defaming people who disagree is the only trick aging alarmists like him have left.

WUWT Readers might recall this research effort by the same esteemed Canadian scientist:

I believe that it was during the controversy over launch of Cassini-Huygens, with the plutonium powered RTG, that Suzuki and Kaku were forever impeached. Let them join Mann and Bellesisles in obscurity.
Quite a reasoned, scientific response. I’m sure it is being given all the consideration it is due.
Whatever, still loved him in The Karate Kid.
I can see Suzuki’s postal address quite clearly–you might like to blur that out.
Amazing how history cycles. The events change but the participants do not.
I can imagine the Suzuki’s of the world dressed in Red cardinals cloaks expressing outrage that people did not believe the world was flat or Earth revolved around the sun.
HOW DARE YOU QUESTION DOGMA??
Those Cardinals too were amongst the best educated beings of their time. For what?? Idiocy??
Forgive him and his ilk, they are a demographic phenomena that has poison their chosen field.

When I first read it I thought it said…Iam a socialist…
Did he read the book???
Gee! A really nice personal letter from David Suzuki with an autograph at the bottom. That autograph might be as valuable as a James R. Hoffa one some day. And sent via snail mail to boot.
I was just yesterday treated to very same kind of intellectual dishonesty. Perfect timing by suds-sucker. (should I have [snip]ped that last bit?)
Funny, I read “I am a Socialist” when I first scanned the photo above. Hilarious! I am reminded of 20 years ago when I was trying to make a right turn from Arbutus to West 4th Ave. in Vancouver, on a red light, when a very irate and potty-mouthed Suzuki took umbrage that I would interrupt his jay-walking. Holy [snip] he can spew some good old stroll-speak.
Hang on, Suzuki may be a scientist but he’s no climate scientist just another biologist who’s jumped on the big green eco slush funded bandwagon to push his own whacky agenda.
We really should start marking up the difference between climate scientists, environmentalists and fruit cakes…
I’m glad you typed that out. I thought it said “I am a socialist”.
I ride a Honda. Need I say more 🙂
I am a scientist and I take great umbrage with people like Suzuki who are neither open minded nor a critical thinker and therefore lack two requirements of being a scientists.
Actually, reminds me of a letter written by a scientist to Alfred Wegener. It went something along the lines that his theory of continental drift was a complete load of nonsense. Funny how history repeats.
Don’t count him or his fellow travelers out. Politicians – especially lefty politicians – far outnumber true scientists and fact-observation-and-logic-based thinkers, and they have plenty of other people’s (taxpayers’) money to fund their movements and activities (while the overwhelming majority of people are somnambulant).
Beesaman~ Fruit(fly) cakes…
What a coincidence. My postman rides a Suzuki.
climate scientists, environmentalists and fruit cakes…
1. hypochondriacs with absolutely zero idea about anything except what their owners tell them.
2. people who actually care about the environment
3. an even loopier extreme version of 1, who actually believe what their owners tell them.
Suzuki fits in 3, and hence in 1,
.
.
.but certainly NOT in 2.
BTW: Was that message penned in ink or bile?
What I would give to have that framed on my wall…
David Suzuki smoked too much dope in the 70s. He is the alarmist’s alarmist. Mr Maggot.
I hope you’re planning on adding that endorsement to the back cover of the book. Its sales would skyrocket.
That’s hilarious… Will it make the Friday Funny’s?
Wow! This guy must really be something. Please keep him in the ice box, as we have a significant number of similar minded ones down here in the states already.
