Here’s the QOTW, a comment left on a YouTube video:
Very well done. Except, unfortunately, history will show that climate denialists are worse than nazis.
What prompted that? This:
I suppose it was only a matter of time before the Hitler video was used on me. It can be used to parody just about anything. The best part is that it provides a window into the mindset of the creator, Jenkin Brown, plus the people that are doing the piling on in comments like the one above.
Gosh. All this denigration because I have an opinion and dare to write about it with citations. Yes, surely that’s just as bad (or worse as the commenter says) as putting millions of innocent people in gas chambers or shooting them in mass trenches. The comparison made by the commenter is so absurd that it overshadows the satire. It’s laughable.
I suppose we can thank Ellen Goodman for popularizing this connection:
I would like to say we’re at a point where global warming is impossible to deny. Let’s just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers, though one denies the past and the other denies the present and future. – Ellen Goodman, Boston Globe, February 9, 2007 “No change in political climate”
Obviously, since I posted it here, I don’t mind the satirical video, because it still isn’t as bad as the time I was labeled as having sex with farm animals (scroll down to bottom) for asking for a factual correction to an article.
I’ve been insulted by professionals, this is just an amateur effort. 😉
NOTE TO COMMENTERS/MODERATORS: Keep it clean in comments. I thought about not having comments at all, but I’m sure many readers would have something insightful to add. If you don’t, don’t comment. Moderators, you have carte blache to bit bucket any hateful comments. – Anthony

These people must really, really, really hate the truth. Oh well…
Unfortunately Anthony, the real test for CAGW will be time. But for what it is worth, crow we will when reality and record will prove you right. And for what it is worth the above video will be icing on the cake.
“Very well done. Except, unfortunately, history will show that climate denialists are worse than nazis.”
Well, obviously that guy believes that CO2 can turn the planet into a baking oven, and who could blame him, as a NASA scientist says so. In my opinion, Hansen is to blame for hate like that; and the NASA bosses that cover him.
And all of this for 1.2 billion USD a year that NASA gets in global warming funding.

Exactly the kind of stuff the idealogues resort to when they cannot construct a rational argument.
Who ist dis Godwin, and vye does he say ve have lost ze argument?
Wow, they really sink to new lows with every passing week. On the bright and cheery side, they’re obviously reading WUWT on a daily basis. 🙂
” … but I’m sure many readers would have something insightful to add.”
Yes, but it is a low yield process. You have to dig the insightful ones out of those that are inflammatory, off subject, wrong, or just plain stupid. Still this outlet may prevent the occasional loon from going altogether postal.
Actually, I don’t even find the YouTube parody funny, because it denies the very real horrow of the WW2.
As to the Arctic, one or even two swallows do not a summer make. And even if it were ice free for a time in some distant summer, would it really matter? It is only the models that seem to point to it as a critical item for the warming thesis. There seems to be a lot more going on than just surface warming. In any event, what has always bothered me is the expensive non solutions, a question that remains whether or not we are facing a non problem.
Finally, from a gloomy and cold South of England, what about the idea of free speech? And being able to put a point of view without vicious personal attacks? Methinks they protest too much!
Keep up the work, there is now a Global Warming Industry that threatens our way of life more than the catastrophe they spin, IMHO.
We are worse than Nazis…ok then…what about the Daleks? How do we compare with them?
For a start, I can go around holding a plunger! And I do look far scarier than a salt-and-pepper shaker!
REPLY: LOL! For those that don’t know, here’s a Dalek from Doctor Who:
– Anthony
The sea ice in the Arctic is the last link in the chain of climate causation because it takes so long (ten years or more) for events in the tropic to circulate to the Arctic ocean.
It is the last feature of climate change that AGW supporters can point to in support of their theories.
Thus they are throwing everything they have into the pot at this moment when the effects of the late 20th century period of high solar activity are still affecting the Arctic even though the downward trend is becoming apparent elsewhere.
Keep calm and stay cool in the face of the onslaught.
If the sun stays quiet then cloudiness will remain high, energy into the oceans will continue to decline and in due course Arctic sea ice will recover.
It should soon be clear whether AGW proponents are right or wrong and if Arctic ice fails to recover despite a negative AMO in a few years and a negative PDO in conjunction with a quiet sun then I for one would be prepared to reconsider.
It comes with fame and power – being ridiculed, so I would take it as a compliment, although a sick one.
It also shows the standard of the “consensus” and the level of their crowd…
Really? Yet another Hitler video? Really?! Talk about an Internet meme that has been run out of breath. I have to say though, I’ve been called far worse by far better. (Although the “blog scientists” bit was worth a chuckle.)
3:05 “In don’t think we can blame it on the wind again”
I don’t see why not, no one has been able to disprove the major influence of Wind and Atmospheric Oscillations on Sea Ice cover, as I documented here:

Wow… Don’t know what else to say. This is about as disgusting as the ‘No Pressure’ video. They probably think Iran is a peaceful, benign country, too.
Just a lurker here, Anthony.
But I am terribly sorry to see the quality of discourse plummet to such a low level. Whether you find it hurtful, or not, it is decidely undeserved.
I think we need to be careful here, and say that we deny that there is proof that man is causing the climate to change in a catastrophic way. We deny that there is any proof that CO2 will cause a tipping point. We deny that CO2 is a pollutant. Maybe the globe is/was warming, maybe it is cooling, maybe it is going to cool, maybe it is going to warm…
It’s not science, it’s politics. It always has been.
We are worse than Nazis?…ok then…how do we compare with the Osmonds?
Ha! Not so bad now, are we?
That is great! Boy, I wish I had the spare time Jenkin Brown has. He must have spent a lot of time hanging out around here to do such a good job with comments about Steven Goddard.
Hey, turn this into a positive – this is a great example of how negative PR can be great PR. RealClimate, eat your heart out, you won’t be getting any views out of this one!
I haven’t been following the copyright issues with these parodies – did the movie studio finally realize they can’t block parodies or are they going to shut this down next week?
Daleks have a lot in common with AGW Alarmists….EXAGGERATE…EXAGGERATE…EXAGGERATE!!!!
I have never met one AGW warmist that understands basic science, or understands the evidence. The argument generally comes down to the fact that I am not a climate scientist so my opinion is wrong… and their opinion is right, because they do not understand the complexity so they go with climate scientists that tell them there is a consensus… When I tell them they admit not having their own opinion, but the opinion of that some others have, even though they admit having no understanding of climate science, they get angry and call me names.., such as a flat earther. They are getting frustrated that they have such a strong opinion of things they feel they can not possibly understand and it makes them feel dumb. They are in fact like people who believe in witches. The logic is that witches must be hanged. If they live, they are a witch and must be killed. If they die, they were innocent.
a hitler parody!
Anthony, YOUV’E ARRIVED
Dalek 1 : EX TER MIN ATE, EX TER MIN ATE ALL DENIERS
Dalek 2: TRA VES TY, TRA VES TY, TRA VES TY!!!!
It is a sad day in American when these people have to stoop so low because not everyone accepts, or believes, their propaganda about man made Global Warming. The far left is willing to do just about anything except believe the real truth concerning this issue. One would almost tend to believe that we really haven’t come all that far since the days of Galileo. This video exposes the real depth of their fear and anger for being rejected.
Why are the alarmists all such potty-mouths?
