Where I get hate mail from an unhinged eco-warrior

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.

This person seems a bit confused! He / she / it seems to be a great fan of Predators and Hellfire missiles; so am I, when they’re aimed at the right people (e.g. Taliban, A-Q, IS), but what do they have to do with discussions on climate? Sad.

I feel sorry for people like the guy that wrote the letter. They probably had liberal parents and were brain washed from age 4 and up to believe in climate change, feminism, socialism, and a few other NGO promoted outright lies. Everything they’ve been raised to believe in is being debunked and rejected by mainstream society right before their eyes. It’s leaving them with nothing after being taught they were morally superior to all who disagreed with them. The anger and denial are the first two of the five stages of grief.

scorpion – get back on your meds, brother. You are embarrassing yourself something fierce.

April 16, 2017 11:34 pm

Scorpion sounds like a teenager throwing a tantrum! That’s how they purport to get their way. Then, on the other hand, if Scorpion is a mature adult, Scorpion has the mental aptitude of a teenager! (Maybe I’m being to kind on the teenager bit, a 5 year old might be more to the point!)

Age is no measure of maturity. There’s 14-year old adults, and there’s 40-year old kids. Maturity is a mindset, not a physiological given. 🙂

Everything the guy says is true…

…when applied to himself!

He and his ilk think in these terms, and act on these terms.
WE talk about science.
He talks about conspiracies, of global corporate money.
He talks in terms of mental illness
He talks in terms of politics.
He talks in terms of fixed minds.

These are the features of his world-view.

Twit? That’s a British term.

He sounds like a fairly typical animal rights activist, or someone from ‘hate not soap’

Translation: Little scorpy’s been watching the TV show of the same name and fantasising that he, too, can save the world each week in 40 minutes (plus advertisements).

Such foolish vitroil from a fool in which the butthurt is strong.

Scorpy is ignorant and revels in it. It is sad, and pitiful.

The good news is that it also means you are hurting them, Anthony. So keep up the good fight. The cli-fi scam is unravelling like the South Sea Bubble before it.

The climate denial mentality is a fascinating insight into the deep psychological wounds these (mostly men) have. I guess that’s what happens when you grow up fat, dumb and happy in a quasi-fascist corporatist state instead of as a poor, brown-skinned Bangladeshi farmer who’s about to lose his house to sea level rise.

Well, the Awami League government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, led by prime minister Sheikh Hasina, has authoritarian, even fascist tendencies, at least according to Hillary Clinton, democratic nominee for the last presidential election of the US.

What is more, utterly fair skinned farmers in the Netherlands and East Anglia, along with pensioners in Florida, mostly white women, are threatened by sea level rise just as much as a brown-skinned Bangladeshi farmer.

Except there is no acceleration term detected in satellite measured sea level data in the 23.5 years between late 1992 and mid 2016, for the entire span of this particular dataset, so sea level rise is not such a threat after all.

The U.S. Left needs to partner with EU, japan, China and India.

Yup. And the US left needs to endorse increasing CO2 emissions of those countries, while US emissions are steadily decreasing. Makes sense.

He’d rather an iPad over an AR-15 connected to a “drone” (All that technology driven by solar/wind etc)? Too much “RedBull”, dialup takeout etc and computer games me thinks…

To “Scorpion”, shut your computers off, step outside, it really is not that bad.

Really? As Willis quietly asks, where are the bodies?

No he is not an Australian, New Zealand based “Indian or Bangladeshi”, he is American educated…”…destabilize…” gives that away.

So I’m an angry, old, fat, white guy living in the USA! Who knew? Certainly not me, but… what do I know, eh?

Perhaps the such persons should have a gander at this: http://www.truthjustice.net/politics/liberalism-and-low-self-esteem/ and ask themselves some pertinent questions.

It is a kind of a manifesto. He uses every cliche’ the democrats AND Marx has created in the past 100 years. While he easily represents 90% of the vitriol he spews at others, and they are threats to the current host, I would not be too concerned. In the first place, he made it on a public forum. Real nut jobs do not do that for the most part. And in the second place, being he is impotent, it is merely rage.

What caused Anders Brevick to act upon his frustrations was the lack of an outlet to voice his frustrations (Norway has a big no-no on hate speech). If nothing else, the Internet allows the release of steam and so less action on the parts of loons. One DA readily comes to mind (and his stalking of certain bloggers).

This skinny little exoskeleton speaks of “evidence”.
Yet again, no evidence is cited.

The cult of CAGW continually must resort to name calling (Nazi, White Guy, Full figured, Trump Supporter, Non-Democrat and so on) as opposed to using scientific/engineering/economic based arguments to support CAGW and the massive forced spending on green schemes that do not work as it is a fact that:

1) Observations and analysis does not support CAGW and in fact does not even support AGW.

2) The massive spending on ‘green’ energy has been an economic failure (triples the cost of electricity and will lead to brownouts) and has not significantly reduced anthropogenic CO2 emissions if the energy input to construct the ‘green energy’ systems and the reduction in grid efficiency is taken into account.

3) It is a fact that there have been significant unintentional consequences to the undeveloped world due to the cult of CAGW’s campaign

4) The lack of developed country funding support for new coal power plants is one of the prime reasons for unending poverty in the undeveloped regions of the world such as almost the entire African continent. It is a fact that 24/7 reliable economic electric power is required for basic industrial development.

Validity of EPA’s CO2 Endangerment Finding

On the Existence of a “Tropical Hot Spot “ & The Validity of EPA’s CO2 Endangerment Finding

Dr. James P. Wallace III Dr. John R. Christy Dr. Joseph S. D’Aleo August 2016

These analysis results would appear to leave very, very little doubt that EPA’s claim of a Tropical Hot Spot, caused by rising atmospheric CO2 levels, simply does not exist in the real world. Also critically important, even on an all-otherthings-equal basis, this analysis failed to find that the steadily rising Atmospheric CO2 Concentrations have had a statistically significant impact on any of the 13 temperature time series analyzed. 68

Thus, the analysis results invalidate each of the Three Lines of Evidence in its CO2 Endangerment Finding.

Once EPA’s THS assumption is invalidated, it is obvious why the climate models they claim can be relied upon, are also invalid. And, these results clearly demonstrate–13 times in fact–that once just the ENSO impacts on temperature data are accounted for, there is no “record setting” warming to be concerned about. In fact, there is no ENSO-Adjusted Warming at all. These natural ENSO impacts involve both changes in solar activity and the 1977 Pacific Shift.

Moreover, on an all-other-things-equal basis, there is no statistically valid proof that past increases in Atmospheric CO2 Concentrations have caused the officially reported rising, even claimed record setting temperatures. To validate their claim will require mathematically credible, publically available, simultaneous equation parameter estimation work. Where is it?

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/11/22/shocker-top-google-engineers-say-renewable-energy-simply-wont-work/

The key problem appears to be that the cost of manufacturing the components of the renewable power facilities is far too close to the total recoverable energy – the facilities never, or just barely, produce enough energy to balance the budget of what was consumed in their construction. This leads to a runaway cycle of constructing more and more renewable plants simply to produce the energy required to manufacture and maintain renewable energy plants – an obvious practical absurdity.

A research effort by Google corporation to make renewable energy viable has been a complete failure, according to the scientists who led the programme. After 4 years of effort, their conclusion is that renewable energy “simply won’t work”.

“research has shown that right-wing brains double down…”

A “You Are Not So Smart” podcast listener! It is a pretty great podcast, but it has one very annoying trait–when discussing mental habits that are non-ideological (in this case, people with strong opinions often dig in and believe more strongly when faced with opposing information–the subject of a recent episode), negative examples tend to come from the conservative side of the aisle and positive examples tend to come from the liberal side.

This loon’s conclusion is exactly why that trait is problematic.

This would serve as a perfect worksheet for intermediate debate classes. It covers just about every fallacy in the book. Anthony, please submit this to your local high school or junior college for approval. A wealth of fault to be picked and discussed by young people learning higher discussion and argument. Heck, even I couldn’t readily remember and name every fallacy this dude succumbs to. It’s priceless.
