Climate Craziness of the Week: 'climate denial is a form of murder'

Yes, really, some hopelessly brainwashed person named Barry Aubin (@SaintAubinN) really thinks this, and actually put that thought into words on his Twitter feed. h/t to Foxgoose for spotting this one….

Here is the Tweet:

Where do these people come from, and how is it they have such a warped sense of reality and scale?

It’s a rant pushing a silly online petition from someone who seems rather deranged.
175 signatories so far.
They want 10,000. Good luck with that.

The true believers think that us skeptics (deniers) should have to go without carbon-derived energy merely because we are skeptics, but the greenies can use it because they are believers, and that is all that counts with them. They need a bogeyman, someone to vilify, and that is us skeptics.

They seem to be most interested in global drought. I wish this graph could be updated through 2014:

Some people like Mr Aubin suffer from self castration to save the world, their pain comes out in their tortured twitters, and desperate delusion ..at the cutting edge of self induced misery!

Intellectual debate 140 characters at a time. There are those who feel that twitter adds to the sum of human knowledge and then there are those who don’t use twitter.

I do believe there is a climate. I really do. The only thing I ask is that these alarmists lead by example rather than by words alone. When they succeed in lowering their own carbon footprint to the same level as mine, then I’ll start listening to them again. Until then, their words are nothing but hot air because their actions provide no evidence they actually believe their own alarmist words.

Louis: “I do believe there is a climate. I really do.”
Actually, there are many climates, all over the Earth, and they are constantly changing, some quickly, some slowly. What there is not is a ‘global climate’.

How much CO2 does an alarmist contribute by exhaling over their lifetime?
If they saw the actual contribution they may get depressed and shut up. Anyone done the calculation? I would do it but im too busy doing other things.

Climate Liars have lately been latching on to drought, due of course to “climate change”. Whatever sells.

These nitwits are just a rebranded version of the anarchists of the 1980’s. They can’t fit into the modern world so they imagine themselves as leaders towards some alternative reality. Sad.

February 3, 2015 4:26 pm

If there is one truth I’ve learned about leftists in my years is that under the banners of ‘being open minded’ and ‘diversity’ and ‘caring for humanity’ they in fact hate people, especially those who don’t hate people.
Gaia = all that is good
People = all that is evil

Barry Aubin self-nominated to be a climate change fanatic and nut.
Intellectually, who are the creators of climate change fanatics like Barry Aubin? Oreskes and Hansen?
As to strategies against a fanatic like Barry Aubin, the best one,

It appears to me that one defeats the fanatic precisely by not being a fanatic oneself, but on the contrary by using one’s intelligence.

The worst offenders are those like the POTUS who makes derogatory wise cracks about others while he probably has the biggest carbon footprint of anyone in the entire world, jumping into a plane with a large entourage of political sheepole wasting fossil fuels for no apparent valid purpose.
Similarly there are numerous conferences and meetings where global warming advocates and alternative green energy assemble in expensive resorts in the name of controlling CO2 while discharging many times the emissions of the common folk who are taxed for their needs to keep warm and travel to work.

Executing deniers is not a new or unusual idea. From Professor Richard Parncutt, University of Graz,
**”I have always been opposed to the death penalty in all cases. Even mass murderers like Breivik should not be executed, in my opinion. GW deniers fall into a completely different category from Breivik. They are already causing the deaths of hundreds of millions of future people. If a jury of suitably qualified scientists estimated that a given GW denier had already, with high probability (say 95%), caused the deaths of over one million future people, then s/he would be sentenced to death.”**

Rick Bradford,
Correctomundo. Killing people they disagree with is a common thread that runs throughout the climate alarmist crowd, and enviros in general:
VARIOUS PROPOSED TREATMENTS FOR THE ‘DENIERS’
—————————————————-
National Clean Energy Summit With Reid and Schwarzenegger
Speaking of greenhouse gas deniers: “Strap some conservative-thinking people to a tailpipe for an hour and then they will agree it’s a pollutant!
source Arnold Schwarzenegger – 2013
Dr. James Hansen:
“CEOs of fossil energy companies know what they are doing and are aware of long-term consequences of continued business as usual. In my opinion, these CEOs should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature. If their campaigns continue and “succeed” in confusing the public, I anticipate testifying against relevant CEOs in future public trials….”
Huffington Post – 2008
Concerts for a Climate in Crisis:
“This is treason. And we need to start treating them as traitors.”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr – 2007
“When we’ve finally gotten serious about global warming, when the impacts are really hitting us and we’re in a full worldwide scramble to minimize the damage, we should have war crimes trials for these bastards — some sort of climate Nuremberg.”
David Roberts – Grist – 2006
David Suzuki:
“What I would challenge you to do is to put a lot of effort into trying to see whether there’s a legal way of throwing our so-called leaders into jail because what they’re doing is a criminal act,” said Dr. Suzuki, a former board member of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. “It’s an intergenerational crime in the face of all the knowledge and science from over 20 years.”
David Suzuki – 2008
NYT suggests ‘deniers’ should be stabbed through the heart – like vampires:
WUWT – 2014
Pachauri:
“They are the same people who deny the link between smoking and cancer,” he said. “They are people who say that asbestos is as good as talcum powder – and I hope they put it on their faces every day.”
Dr. Rajendra Pachauri – 2010
Greenpeace member:
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.
Greenpeace Gene From India – 2010
Resistance at individual and societal levels must be recognized and treated…This kind of cultural resistance to very significant social threat is something that we would expect in any society facing a massive threat,”
Professor Kari Norgaard – 2012
Typical Green Party BS:
Get rid of any cabinet ministers or senior governmental advisers who refuse to accept the scientific consensus on climate change or who won’t take the risks to the UK seriously.”
source Green Party of England and Wales – 2014
Death penalty for global warming deniers?
At the end of that process, some GW deniers would never admit their mistake and as a result they would be executed. Perhaps that would be the only way to stop the rest of them. The death penalty would have been justified in terms of the enormous numbers of saved future lives.”
Richard Parncutt, Professor of Systematic Musicology, University of Graz – 2012

The appropriate penalty for Prof. Parncutt [in the Greek Hadesian way of al a Sisyphus and Tantalus] — he is condemned to continuously be hearing the Bach Goldberg Variations played on a mistuned Harpsichord where middle C wanders randomly +/- 5 Hz from Variation to Variation while standing in an Austrian Meadow in full Summer splendor while a wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain falls only on him

George E. Smith wrote (February 3, 2015 at 4:40 pm):
The kids and adults were lined up outside a clinic, and when it was their turn, someone shoved a hose up their garment sleeves, or leggings and literally engulfed them in DDT powder.
People didn’t seem to understand that it was the mosquitoes that needed to be sprayed; not the people.

I, too, am ancient enough to have watched those films. They weren’t spraying individuals with DDT for malaria, but to kill lice infestations. Lice are nasty beasts that suck their human host’s blood, weakening them. Human body lice also transmit diseases (such as typhus) from one host to the next.
To louse-infested survivors of the Second World War and the poor and hungry in many nations, the cloud of DDT meant that all the lice that were biting them would die within an hour or so. Better living through chemistry!

Anthony, I think I can answer your question. THESE special type of morons come from our public indoctrination centers, formerly known as schools and colleges.
These special morons have formed their “opinion” based on NOTHING else but what they’ve seen on the mainstream media, or new media, for that matter, or read about in electronic or print media.
Their “opinions” are NEVER based in FACTS, just EMOTIONS.
Hope that helps, Anthony. Keep up the good work.

As Global Warming can be blamed for everything including more rain and less rain it is obviously responsible for every flood or drought victim in the last 50 years.

“Where do these people come from, and how is it they have such a warped sense of reality and scale?”

Not really a mystery Anthony, common garden-variety mental impairment, of someone who’s not recognized and not admitted they have a functional brain impairment issue or illness, and are still putting nutty hype into their undermined brain anyway, so out comes such ‘sensible’ conclusions.
Possibly aided by trenchant chemical abuse associated with the natural leafy herbal correctives Gaia produces to relax its worshipers and make them think clearer and better development an advanced sense of morality (you can see that from the implied analysis leading to those conclusions), and thus provides the necessary deep insights into how Gaia wishes humanity to be. And if you up the dosage and hang in there with it, it becomes even clearer, because Gaia then starts talking back to you directly, and uses your own brain and mouth to do it! Bonus!
It’s like a cosmic 2-way radio man!!
And Gaia keeps saying, “Kill the recalcitrant apes, kill them NOW!”
If you opened your mind up to other possibilities and put some effort into extending your moral consciousness and emotional quotient you would understand the higher source of such tweets, and comprehend a bigger picture or human and planetary integration of mind, man.
Hey man, it happens!

It just goes to show that in politics, being a complete idiot is not a left or right thing.
The difference being that the left wing is perceived as more intelligent because surveys show they are generally better educated. What I have learned is that being a complete idiot is a condition quite unrelated to educational history.

The difference is an educated person would not waste there (their, they’re) time on such surveys. Lefties are so full of their own glorification as to line up to be counted. lol

You could obtain the best education in the world but if your character and choices are that of a spineless toady who seeks consensus and approval, and won’t actually think for yourself, even after swearing black and blue that you will and do – but don’t – what good is that best of educations?
A dreadfully feeble distorted education would have been quite sufficient for that person’s practical functional, social and research capacity requirements.
i.e. mostly it isn’t education levels achieved that impede. Their mind is working per a reverse-function laxative all the time, sucking up the ambient collective conclusions of the similarly impaired consensus.
Teachers put a mountain of meme rubbish in our head. Our task is to filter out and eliminate that rubbish. If you don’t develop or don’t possess a talent for detecting and filtering out that rubbish, constantly entering the mind, the reverse laxative effect keeps putting more and more rubbish in there, and you end up with educated utter idiots, talking the stuff laxatives are meant to remove.
And they are an overwhelming majority, that constitute and electorate’s core voters, from which come the representatives, who are likewise the purest quintessence of the reverse laxative effect.
Hence public policy and its mainstream narratives.
