People send me stuff, sometimes it’s irrational hate mail from snowflakes…like this one.
Per our WUWT policy on such things, anonymity is not guaranteed, though it probably a fake email address anyway. And I thought Tripp Funderburk was over the top!
Anonymity is not guaranteed on this blog. Posters that use a government or publicly funded IP address that assume false identities for the purpose of hiding their source of opinion while on the taxpayers dime get preferential treatment for full disclosure, ditto for people that make threats.
I’d say there’s a threat in this comment, wouldn’t you?
If you want to make me Target#1, well then you go right ahead. Though I doubt people like yourself, who hide behind obfuscated emails and handles, have any real capability beyond doing anything beyond email rants sent from their mom’s basement.
And the left wonders why nobody is taking them seriously anymore when it comes to global warming aka climate change.

It doesn’t appear to have the clues of diction and syntax that our dear peter gleick provided. But if enough people read this perhaps we will again discover the source.
And Happy Easter you all too .

Probably a bad lead but an engineer from New Dehli has the name given in the yahoo address and he works for an energy company(BGR) that is working with super-critical generators.
Yeah, not him.
That shows how low some of these people (term used loosely) go. If it isn’t the BGR guy (Anthony, I’m sure your super sleuths eliminated him from the IP trail) then that means this impostor actually is setting this guy up, because he’ll know someone at WUWT will try and track him down. People make up names, silly names, but this one seems very specific and he’s in the energy industry. I wonder if the impostor knows him somehow and this is a way of getting back at him? Just a thought..
It is not just the Climate Debate that gets “results” like this. Pops up all the time in many different blogs and reddit subs which I frequent. Death threats to me via private messages are now in double digits. So far no phone calls or hate mail but many years ago I did have my house vandalised by “Animal Rights” group simply as a result of holding some shares in a particular company. Interestingly it has always been left wing groups that have resorted to this kind of behaviour.
Even in personal discussion with those of the left I find that although I stay polite they can (with the right topic) very quickly lapse into the “You are a shithead” “Fuck you” type of conversation. The only exception seems to be those who are over 55 years old where it seems possible to have a good-natured discussion even when we are clearly a long way apart. I suspect the change has been due to something in the educational system and/or a general decline in politeness and personal respect in society.
I keep records of all those acting aggressively and often advise them that I am doing so. It is of course quite easy to simply ignore them if it’s an online exchange. Only in one case, where there was a personal confrontation/threat, have I had to resort to legal action and they disappeared after that.
With respect to moderating on line blogs or communities (I do a few myself) my policy is generally simply to delete comment and perma-ban without any engagement as I have found if you converse with them at all they simply come back with another alias. With no oxygen for them in any particular community they will give up after 2 or 3 attempts max and (presumably) go somewhere else.
I knew one that changed identities four times trying to get back into the comments section. He was a truly persistent man.
The animal rights whackos are truly whackos.
I’ve had to get restraining orders due to a small group of them discovering my actual address after they hacked a no longer in existence hotmail acct,and somehow got into files on my since trashed desktop.
Which led to my house and several vehicles being vandalized by the crazies.
They came halfway across the country to do their harrassment too.
Truly scary people.
Called “shadow banning” on reddit. A bit like the forwarding of unwanted telephone calls to an answerphone which BT is now offering in the UK using a database of thousands of numbers of scammers.
There’s that Liberal Tourette Syndrome again. Angry children, poorly raised and taught, completely unable to effectively communicate in the adult world.
Very good term for the behavior! I’ll remember that one.
This person must have really become unhinged the night Trump got elected.
Lasers, and iPads, and drones! Oh, my! 😀
a weee bit of projection.
keep posting these Anthony it is helpful to show the world the unhinged progressives.

Does that lunatic know that past progress and future progress for the next decades at least depend on fossil fuels?
Whenever I respond negatively to a livescience.com article pushing Anthropogenic Global Warming, The Sh it comes down upon my head! It’s Fascinating because, Socially I’m way left but the but the Greenie Weenies are thoroughly Brainwashed. Need more WUWT readers to monitor Live Science and respond whenever CAGW rears it ugly head.
I’ll be on it tomorrow.
So kommt die Lüge in die Welt.
That’s how alternative ‘fake news’ are produced – there’s always someone to ‘believe in’.
That sounds like the German equivalent of “There’s a sucker born every minute.” link
That’s how the lie comes into the world.
please don’t let me be misunderstood.
I am being wary that the phrase might be an idiom or an aphorism where the full meaning is not given by a literal translation of the words.
By the end of the week on Saturday we could see the U.S. formally having formally ending funding for the UN FCCC & participation in the IPCC (by those funded by the US Federal Government and States) and withdraw from the Paris Agreement COP21 2015 due to the allowing of Palestinian membership by the UN FCCC in 2016!

Got his “two minute hate”done for the day
He seems nice.
But you know, when all you have is Stalinism, everybody looks like a Kulak.
I grew up around hippies. Despite their self-image conflict, this is not that unusual in terms of their behavior with regard to opposing ideas. We’re basically talking about a passive-aggressive tantrum that is trying to declare itself a philosophy (or worse, a civilization).
It’s also about not being able to be a hero unless your opponents are villains. If your politics are just alternative policy possibilities, you’re not *special*, you’re not a *hero*.
I’ll bet he also defines himself (frequently and loudly) as being against this behavior of his. Part of the illness.
“… plants and animals have suffered because of …”
Obviously the person is not a meat eater, but neither is a vegetarian, can’t stand the plants suffering.
So what is left? Ah, yes, the fungi, that person exists on an all-mushroom diet, hence the hallucinations.

Mushrooms can’t eat if plants don’t die. ;|

Anthony,
I think that name-calling ailment is call d the Climate Pronouncement Tourette Syndrome., CPTS. “Oh Lord, why did you put some jerks on this earth,” from the Bull Meechum in “Great Santini.”
…called… and …so many….
Ya know, all that these racist, stupid folks have to do is to perform a single study with the null hypothesis that the X% observed warming in the 20th century has been caused by natural means and reject it with a reasonable degree of significance. These folks neither understand science, the scientific method, or anything else. When such a study is forthcoming, I will give their case greater consideration. Till then, it is just Lysenkoism.
Oh, I don’t think they are stupid. They know what they are doing. They know how science works. I think they pretend to be scientists because it brings in the money with scare tactics. The politicians give them the money to further their global socialist causes. The funds are about to dry up in the U.S. The sooner the better.
I have been swimming around in the CAGW swamp for about 3 years now and I think there are several different kinds of indigenous life forms. There are those who truly do believe Global Warming is settled science and the Earth is threatened, they often seem scared the end of the world is coming. There are those who know it is a “scam” but have to keep up the pretence because their career, friends, etc depend upon it. Also there are those who are very clever and highly qualified who go out of their way to promote CAGW and attack those who don’t believe, sometimes they are very very devious with the things they say, post, etc.and it seems that they also know quite clearly it is untrue but they have an end justifies the means philosophy. It’s quite useful to try to label your opponent into one of the groups. I quite like the latter group for a good discussion and have a couple of NASA scientists on my radar right now which I am slowly reeling in. Might be lucky and get one to trip up soon, even if not all the blog chat is recorded so it’s useful for the future anyway.
That’s why they have to redefine the NULL hypothesis to something meaningless.
Stokes and Moshpit have being trying to declare that the real NULL hypothesis is zero slope.
That is, a belief that without CO2, nothing would change. Therefore if they can show that something has changed, they have proven that CO2 did it.
I do think that we should not spend too much time going on about this fellow. We have other things of importance to consider.
Why not? It’s kind’a fun to lambast folks like this. Got to take a break from being serious sometimes.
Never underestimate the value of comic relief.
One of the greatest weapons against tyrants is humor.
should have approved it and let us (w/o threats or curse words) tear xer up…
old fat conservative white guys….
Hm. That would be guys like:
Sir Winston Churchill…. most of the WWII and Korean War veterans….. many of the Vietnam and Iraq War veterans…… some of your school teachers who tried so hard to help you ….. thousands of those guys who dragged themselves back in on the weekend to get your power back on ….. or who sat hunched over microscopes or keyboards or blueprints to make life better for everyone …… millions of those who worked day after day, year after year, decade after decade, at hard labor to pay taxes to fund roads and schools and the hospital you were born in……
and, for many of us, guys like that man who didn’t leave, who handed out money for movies he never went to see, who fixed our bike chain when it came off again, who we (and, perhaps, you, too, “Scorpion,”) called: “Dad.”
OLD, FAT, CONSERVATIVE, WHITE GUYS, YOU ROCK!
Hear, hear Janice!!
Thanks, Monna! Much appreciated.
Nice one Janice, well said!
In fact, people like my father and my lovely husband and sons, thank God for them!
Aw, thanks, Annie. And how nice it was to read that, that you have all those fine men in your life. Thanks for taking the time to comment, here. 🙂
First, I doubt that somebody who appears to be a Sikh is actually a “Bangladeshi Farmer who is about to lose his home to sea level rise” let alone actually cares about any such.
I would think that a “poor bangladeshi” would be more concerned at the concept that fossil fuel use should be discontinued, as being more immediate.

that’s right , 1.75% of the power supply is Hydro – the rest fossil.
Sea level problems in Bangladesh will not be solved by Solar Panels and Windmills. Etched into my memory is this one;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_Bhola_cyclone
Note the consequences.
Anthony; this arsehole really wasn’t worth a post.
The link you provide also shows that the next 2 most deadly in terms of fatalities occurred in the 1800’s.
CO2 can also cause time travel /sarc
First there were tele-connections, now there are temporal connections.
Bangladeshi farmers use iPads, are educated in English, and care about “a stable and healthy planet”?
If they had iPads, they might be able to get the information about how their own activities (groundwater abstraction, dredging etc) are causing 83% of the sea level rise in their homeland.
” nobody is taking them seriously anymore”
“Anymore”? I didn’t take these clowns seriously in the first place.
Not taking them seriously is a mistake. The left starting has been resorting to violent protesting. So far, it has been relatively mild violence. But, if something isn’t done to curb the violence, it will get worse.
Some protestors are now being charged with “rioting”, which besides being totally appropriate, carries up to a 10 year prison term and a $25,000 fine. I also believe it’s a felony, which puts a real crimp in their rap sheet.
Harish. “Nonviolence is a weapon of the strong.”- Mahatma Gandhi
Sometimes, the best way that one can discredit people that have this way of expressing their extreme views is…………….expose them in front of a large audience.
They are far more counterproductive to those that hold a similar position than an intelligent skeptic armed with authentic data that contradicts the position.
To be objective(which is tough to do if you are the target of numerous attacks that take on this tone) we are only amusing ourselves by drawing attention to a ludicrous comment from a loose cannon. Yes, it seems like since Trump got elected that this sort of hateful, inflammatory mentality has permeated one side. Many of them have just had their minds captured into a cult like belief system, that thinks anybody that believes differently than themselves is the extreme. Throw in the intense hatred and lack of accountability when using a computer on the internet and you have the recipe for a growing number of people that express themselves this way.
Since this site also shows all the information that emanates from well spoken authorities who have similar views(less extreme) as this character but are able to communicate those views more professionally/intelligently, I think it is not unfair to also include something like this because it represents a mentality that exists(we probably can’t imagine the hundreds of hate mails that Anthony gets)……….even if it might magnify the political divide.
In a psychological realm, when we are subjected to unfair treatment or attacked and only we know about it, there is often more frustration than if we share it with others who see it exactly like we do. I do my best, trying not to judge other people but my wife is often the recipient of numerous stories about
other people/situations that paint an unkind picture.
She almost always sees it exactly as I do. If that was not the case, I might not be sharing so often.
On a more pleasant note: Happy Easter Anthony and to all!
It’s a fascinating (and somewhat scary) look into the mindset of a (most likely) young, college-brainwashed, pseudo-adult, with lots of pent-up rage towards “the establishment”, probably hates his father, who revels in his extreme leftist, enviro-loon, pro-Marxist ideology.
