Aussie climate scientists need random hugs from strangers to reassure them that they aren’t universally hated.

It is all so 1969 and quite dated in fact of the matter.
Several of the scientists in Canberra have been moved to a more secure location after receiving [death] threats over their research. [source]
Then comes the kicker, in the final sentence:
The Australian Federal Police says it is aware of the issue, but there is no investigation underway.
Ah. “No investigation” = Bogosity.

Speak for yourself, fred. I certainly hate them, and it’s not about us ignoring them. As long as the bureaucrats and the politicians don’t ignore their “research” grant applications and shovel out for them the billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars to fund their academic empire-building, we’ve got more than sufficient reason to hate them.
Every damned time one of them signs his (her) name to a funding application containing the knowing utterance of falsehoods in order to obtain government funding, he (she) is perpetrating theft of value by fraud. Might be a case for taking them on under the RICO statute, too. Or didn’t that evidence of coordination discovered in the Climategate e-mail communications cross your threshold of appreciation?
Hug a climate scientist. They’re currently freezing their butts off in Canberra and they need all the warmnth they can get. Poor dears.
“And we all know that without the humble ballpoint pen science would simply stop.”
Well, we did science with pencils and sliderules (and we would have been fired for gross incompetence).
I think I’ll designate a hunting polar bear as my proxy hugger. Should be able to accommodate several
preyclimate scientists!charles nelson at 5:23 pm, couldn’t agree more.
It’s satire.Very funny.Radio 2GB is where shock jocks(as the left love to call them)are.

Kick Hansen in the nuts…really?
I don’t want to kick Hansen in the ‘nuts’ . The guy is already drawing enough attention to himself by getting arrested etc.
No violence please. Only hugs! 🙂

“I a reminded of when the Animal Liberation People in the UK ‘liberated’ the population of a mink farm so that the cute furry things would not be harmed….it simply didn’t occur to them that the mink would kill every living thing on the river system for miles around…”
*Blink,,, BUAHAHAH!!!! Oh that is classic. Pure classic.
Sort of a real life version of the WKRP (sitcom) Thanksgiving Turkey Toss.
Unfortunately some climate scientists in Australia are hated so much they have been getting death threats.
Reminds me of the Catholic church a few hundred year ago.
Very sad.
Pompous Git says: “I’m more than happy to hug an Australian climate scientist. Virtual hugs to Ian Plimer, Mike Pook, Garth Paltridge, Bob Carter…”
Best comment yet.
Oddly enough, I’ve seen far more convincing evidence that the warmists and their supporters have uttered death threats to skeptics over the years. Including me. So their whiny little complaints have absolutely zero sympathy from me.
I’ve always avoided hugging stupid people, you never know what diseases they’ve exposed themselves to due to their ignorance.
Too funny! I’m all out of hugs for these types, one hand on a computer simulation, the other in my wallet.

Thanks Jorge. I read it as climate scientists, as distinct from climate “scientists”.

I suspect that like The Git, Mike and Garth are freezing their butts off in Tasmania. The Git is heading towards the kitchen where there’s a lovely CO2-emitting fire, a glass of red neddy and a nice curry to cook. ‘Night 🙂
If the poor abused lambs (who believe being sworn at is the same as death threats) want hugs then send them to the Amazon Rainforest they love so much. I suspect there’s a few anacondas that would be happy to oblige them.
Some believe that AGW alarmism has been used to help polar bears. Perhaps Aussies could import a few for hugging purposes. Surely the bears ought to be grateful.
Some people mistake a hug for an attempt to smother. Maybe that’s the hidden agenda?
I live in Europe. Can I catch E.Coli from hugging a climie? And are funds available for the subsequent deep fumigation that I would need?
they tell us today that the death threats where made a year ago a beat up from the news papers who are all far left in australia
Isn’t Hal Jordon the Green Lantern?
[Snip. Continuing to label other commentators as “denialists” will get you banned. Last warning. ~dbs, mod.]
I hugged a loved one..does that count 😛 Funny post. Just like hug a political student day.
In Canada the environmentalists fight tooth and nail every year against the annual east coast seal hunt. They claim it is cruel and only provides seal pelts for rich folks.
However in Australia the environmentalists are promoting a camel hunt. It too will be cruel, but they say killing camels will save the planet from climate catastrophe so its ok.
How is a camel hunt really any different from a seal hunt?
How can environmentalists face themseves in the mirror every morning?
