Adam Weinstein, of the Gawker, has added his voice to the growing list of greens, who demand a brutal authoritarian response to the vexing problem of people who have a different opinion.
According to Weinstein;
Man-made climate change happens. Man-made climate change kills a lot of people. It’s going to kill a lot more. We have laws on the books to punish anyone whose lies contribute to people’s deaths. It’s time to punish the climate-change liars.
This is an argument that’s just being discussed seriously in some circles. It was laid out earlier this month, with all the appropriate caveats, by Lawrence Torcello, a philosophy professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Weinstein bases his claim that man made climate change “kills a lot of people” on a WHO page, which estimates that 150,000 people per annum are dying because of climate related extreme weather and other problems, such as crop failure.
However, this claim simply doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. Even the IPCC has failed to establish a link between CO2 and extreme weather. In addition, the rise in CO2 has so far been strongly beneficial for crop yields – satellites have detected a substantial greening of the planet, thanks largely to the fertilisation effect of the rise in atmospheric CO2.
In recent years we have all seen a worrying surge of hate speech against climate skeptics, and a disturbing level of political acquiescence in the face of murderous fantasy and intolerance. These incidents include a government sponsored celebration of climate murder in a theatre production, MSM cartoons celebrating political violence, more cartoons, proposals for soviet style forced “reeducation”, calls for the death penalty, calls for “deniers” to be jailed, wishes for divine retribution against “deniers”, the gruesome 10:10 video fantasy about murdering the children of “deniers”, and prominent environmentalist David Suzuki’s repeated calls for “deniers” to be jailed, here, and here. There have been far too many threats against the liberty and lives of ordinary people, whose crime against humanity is to believe that 18 years with no change in global temperature, might be an indication that the climate “crisis” has been exaggerated.

“Man-made climate change kills a lot of people. It’s going to kill a lot more.”
Hi Eric, just a quick note to point out that the thing that generally kills people is called mortality. It’s apparently incurable, so any green heroes out there pretending to have a sure-fire cure via imprisoning skeptics can probably be safely discounted. Don’t know who the AGW ratbags will imprison for the mortality snafu though, but that’s the crux of it mate. Cheers.
As Marshall saw when his funding was threatened and he nearly lost his University job because everyone in the field declared that bacteria couldn’t be a cause of peptic ulcers. After going to the lunatic lengths of infecting himself and using antibiotics to cure himself he was (of course) later awarded a Nobel Prize. Science is ALL about testing others’ theories and funding for that process should always be available.
Meet the neo-Bolsheviks.

Greenies are like mad dogs, if they can’t find any buddy else to bite, they will always bite themselves !
Adam Weenie is nothing but a fear monger using a false narrative too push the far left agenda. Follow the MONEY!
Besides the climate always changes with the help of the SUN. Stupid people!
This is utterly ridiculous. The facts are very simple:
CO2 is a “trace gas” in air, insignificant by definition. It absorbs 1/7th as much IR, heat energy, from sunlight as water vapor which has 188 times as many molecules capturing 1200 times as much heat making 99.8% of all “global warming.” CO2 does only 0.2% of it. For this we should destroy our economy?
There is no possible “greenhouse effect” in an atmosphere. A greenhouse has a solid, clear cover that traps heat. The atmosphere does not trap heat as gas molecules cannot form surfaces as required for greenhouses. Molecules have to be in contact, as in liquids and solids like water and glass, to form surfaces.
The Medieval Warming from 800 AD to 1300 AD Micheal Mann erased to make his “hockey stick” was several degrees warmer than anything “global warmers” fear. It was the longest time, 500 years, of peace with great abundance for all.
Vostock Ice Core data analysis show CO2 increases follow temperature increases by 800 years 19 times in 450,000 years. That means temperature change is cause and CO2 change effect; not the other way around. This alone refutes the anthropogenic global warming concept.
Methane is called “a greenhouse gas 20 to 500 times more potent than CO2,” depending on who is raving, but it is not per the on-line absorption chart at the American Meteorological Society. It has an absorption profile very similar to nitrogen which is classified “transparent” to IR, heat waves and is only present to 18 ppm. “Green vegans” blame cow flatulence for global warming in their war against eating meat.
Carbon combustion generates 80% of our energy. Control and taxing of carbon would give the elected ruling class more power and money than anything since the Magna Carta of 1215 AD.
Most scientists and science educators work for tax supported institutions. They are eager to help government raise more money for them and they love being seen as “saving the planet.”
Google “Two Minute Conservative,” and you will be applauded when you speak truth at your next dinner party, barbecue or church picnic.

Climate Change has existed since the beginning of the planet! Climate Change caused by man is a hoax!
Laws against misstating or misrepresenting the facts about Climate Change should be passed! Then those laws should be thoroughly applied against ALL of the Climate Change Fraudsters starting with Al Gore, John Kerry, Dr. Mann, Barack Obama, and all of the rest of the perpetrators of the fraud!
Lock ALL of the Fraudsters up!
I can’t believe there are some complete idiots here who STILL think Saddam has nuclear weapons and was going to blow up the US. LOL! Idiots galore.

Idiots. Arresting people because of climate change. What people don’t see is soon you’ll be arrested because you believe in Jesus meaning you have to be against homosexuality according to the Bible. Bunch of idiots – no wonder the patriots of old left the country for a better world where they could live in peace and now here we are again with the idiots trying to ram rod their thinking onto everyone under penalty of imprisonment.
Where did they get the chemicals that they found stored recently in Iraq? Surely, since you seem to know positively that Saddam did not have WMD, how he murdered so many of his own people with these non-existent WMD? Please enlighten us so we can also believe fairy tales.
Voltaire: “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
History is abundant with real-life examples: Mao, Hitler, Witch Hunt, the Crusades, etc etc
God controls everything. Therefore, I believe “global warming” is a farce conjured up by the likes of George Soros.
