Note to KXL protestors and Lord Deben, just substitute a couple of K's and 'your journey towards the dark side will be complete'

Paging Lord Deben

I had debated with myself a couple of days as to whether or not to cover this particular bit of ugliness, after it first being brought to my attention by Bishop Hill. But then, Lord Deben of the UK made this observation:

I challenge Lord Deben to find examples of climate skeptics doing anything remotely close to this sort of ugliness that is much like of the tactics of the Klu Klux Klan – showing up at somebody’s house with mask covered faces, torches, and a threat:

(update: their website is no longer serving that page, so here it is as a PDF Tar Sands Blockade – Enbridge )

One of these days, they’ll show up at the wrong house, like their comrades did with the wrong petrol station, and the person inside won’t be as tolerant as Mr. Maki was, and that won’t be pretty:

In case Lord Deben doesn’t know, this “tar sands blockade” is an organization that is part of Bill McKibben’s 350.org and their mission to stop Keystone XL due to their concerns about the supposed effect on the climate.

(Update: Amazingly, McKibben supported this action, see screencap below)

And, perhaps Lord Deben doesn’t recall this example of ugliness from like minded people in the UK on climate, who decided that blowing up school children would be a great way to get the message of climate obedience and compliance across:

It was so bad, 10:10 tried to disappear it, but they were unsuccessful.

And, maybe Lord Deben hasn’t seen this:

Lefty Feud Over Keystone Worsens, Ed Schultz Telling Enviros to ‘Go to Hell’

It seems even the left leaning media is realizing the KXL people are going off the rails.

I challenge Lord Deben to find similar examples from climate skeptics. I’ll even given you a guest essay here to highlight it if you like.
