This is the face on environmentalism today – publicly issued threats from Greenpeace
We need to hit them where it hurts most, by any means necessary: through the power of our votes, our taxes, our wallets, and more.
…
The proper channels have failed. It’s time for mass civil disobedience to cut off the financial oxygen from denial and skepticism.
If you’re one of those who believe that this is not just necessary but also possible, speak to us. Let’s talk about what that mass civil disobedience is going to look like.
If you’re one of those who have spent their lives undermining progressive climate legislation, bankrolling junk science, fueling spurious debates around false solutions, and cattle-prodding democratically-elected governments into submission, then hear this:
We know who you are. We know where you live. We know where you work.
And we be many, but you be few.
“…but you be few”
Yeah sure, whatever you say. Newsflash to Green Gene from Greenpeace India who wrote this.
Seen the latest US Gallup poll?
Gallup: Americans’ Global Warming Concerns Continue to Drop
Or maybe this one in the UK?
Or How about this one in Germany?
SPIEGEL Survey: How Germans Feel about Climate Change
Or the fact that the French gave up on carbon taxing?
French give up on carbon tax plan – for now
I’d say you and your friends are mightily outnumbered. h/t to WUWT reader “kwik”

Ummm, I think you better check that math on that boys.

They probably want to check the grammar on that, too.

OT but over at AMSU-A the cooling trend has kicked in something awful. I kid you not, it says that sea surface temps today are 530.07 degrees cooler than this day last year.

I wouldn’t take it too seriously, David. Channel4 on the Aqua AMSU failed completely 2 years ago. NASA now makes up the readings themselves. See:

I went to the publicly issued threat Greenpeace site. They have a place for comments. I left a comment for them, we’ll see if it gets through …>>
I posted my comment (above) as well. I doubt that it will get through, but I know someone had to read it to know to trash it.

And we be sane, It’s a shame about you!
fueling spurious debates around false solutions
What debate? Where are you, “Al…baby”?
Wow, these characters have gone off the deep end, what with their fradulent AGW ship hitting an iceberg called Climategate.
And we be many, but you be few.
That was supposed to scare us? Oh ya, you’ve got Ben Santer. Ok then, we’ll stay out of alleys. How’s that, babe?
“We must break the law to make the laws we need. Until our laws do that, screw being climate lobbyists. Screw being climate activists. It’s not working. We need an army of climate outlaws.”
Says everything about todays Greenpeace. We cannot convince skeptics with our bad science, so we will spit our dummies (pacifiers) out and use violence and threaten people.
Maybe Juliette on April 1, 2010 10:56 AM who posted the comment on the blog is the one that should worry about her safety! Silly Girl, at least you admit ITS NOT WORKING!

“The majority of believers and non-believers in AGW are not violent and crazy. ”
… perhaps this should have been :
“The majority of believers in AGW are not violent and crazy. The majority of non-believers in AGW are not violent nor crazy. “

You don’t have anything in your wallet. You’re unemployed. Thus, you don’t pay taxes.
If they want to pay more out of their wallets, and more in taxes, for global warming what will be left to pay for what is put in their bong?
Chuck Norris (21:34:29) :
Does this mean I’m going to be thrashed by a twig brandished by a guy in a grubby koala suit?
Bring it on…
They may be brandishing a bong, or a pipe, or other such paraphernalia. They’ll probably miss and fall when they swing.
A greenie jihad. The beginning of the last stand for AGW.
For any of you angry folks reading through, I have a simple challenge. Review the following 5 Arctic Sea Ice charts from the most reputable sources of sea ice data;
http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/IMAGES/seaice.recent.arctic.png
http://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index/images/daily_images/N_stddev_timeseries.png
http://www.ijis.iarc.uaf.edu/en/home/seaice_extent.htm
http://arctic-roos.org/observations/satellite-data/sea-ice/ice-area-and-extent-in-arctic
http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/icecover.uk.php
and please explain to us how these facts are indicative of the claimed catastrophic decline in Arctic Sea Ice Area and Extent.
There is a reason that we are skeptical, it is because the empirical facts do not support the claims of the Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming Narrative. The proverbial canary in a coal mine for global warming is arctic sea ice extent and it’s currently about average. The climate is moderating, what are you so angry about?
Steve in SC (20:52:10) :
They sound like North Koreans or Iranians.
Interesting way to put it. I just saw a woman from Iran interviewed by Jon Stewart a couple of days ago. She said some secret police types used intimidation to stop her from writing books. They put her in jail and had a monkey court trial. Fortunately they let her off saying, off the record, they knew she was innocent. They were only trying to intimidate her. She has since gotten out of the country.
Here is the 6:41minute video interview

Greenpeace – starving poor people, one gallon of ethanol at a time.
I have been protecting the environment on the property I own for 30 years, composting and planting native species that have been lost from the area. I provide cover and browse for wild game of all kinds, and any guns I have are to protect them and my family.
I have dedicated my life to providing for increases in natural fertility, both of the land, and the lives it carries. I am working on expanding man’s knowledge of how the weather really works to generate a better weather forecast system, than we have now, so others can do as I have with less effort and better results.
If these fools want to come to my house to help me fertilize trees, I’ll have to plant to cover them, well I could use all the help I can get. I know the local county attorney, and most of the storm spotter sheriffs deputies, rather well, they might loan me a back hoe.
Stating that they “Know where you live” is a personal threat against one’s private property and family. Everyone should forward this to the police, FBI and New Scotland Yard with a complaint. There are acts now in place to deal with criminal threats of terrorism.
For those of you speculating about the organisation’s name, it is a play on the American government’s term for communism during the 60s, Red Menace.
Likewise Code Red is transformed into Code Pink by female communist activists seeking to strengthen the cause of authoritarianism worldwide.
“cut off the financial oxygen from denial and skepticism.”
Does that mean all those cheques from Big Oil Inc are going to stop arriving? Oh no, however will I finance my blog commenting?
moray watson (19:32:22) :
I hope the bloggers over at realclimate will denounce this kind of lunacy.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Nah. I wouldn’t look for that.
Instead, James Hansen will testify in court (while using the title ‘NASA’ with his name) that these threats are justified.
You know, I think Greenpeace pushed some wrong buttons here. Just sayin……….
I can sum up my contempt for these people in one word – cretins!

“Henry chance (19:26:27) said: ‘The majority of believers and non-believers in AGW are not violent and crazy.’
“… perhaps this should have been…’The majority of non-believers in AGW are not violent nor crazy.'”
No, I, Anton, said it. I quoted Henry Chance at the opening of my letter. And no, I didn’t make a grammatical error. I meant “violent AND crazy,” as in the guy making the absurd threat. I’m convinced that a majority of AGW believers ARE kind of crazy in the sense that they don’t investigate or question, just believe, which doesn’t strike me as rational.
Incidentally in your interpretation, “or” should be used instead of “nor.” “Or” follows “not,” but “nor” follows “neither.”

Just read your article, very enlightening! No wonder some things don’t seem to jive.

And I thought it was a bunch of concerned and mostly retired professionals trying to sort out the facts from the deluge of lies. Silly me!
