Guest essay by Eric Worrall
h/t Willie Soon & Quadrant Online – the following are excerpts from a climate report which the Hewlett Packard website describes as a collaboration between HP Labs and Forum for the Future.
2028: Jean-Claude Bertillon, leader of the No Climate Change Party in Canada, is convicted of denying the existence of climate change. He is deported to the international convict settlement on Kerguelen in the Southern Ocean.

Governments push markets to the very limit of what they can deliver. In different ways in different countries, economies have been forcibly re-orientated to focus on dealing with climate change, in much the same way as sometimes happens in times of war. But in most cases this has happened gradually, ratcheting up over time, with citizens surrendering control of their lives piecemeal rather than all at once, as trading regimes, international law, lifestyles and business have responded to the growing environmental crisis. And so in 2030, greenhouse gas emissions are beginning to decline, but the cost to individual liberty has been great.

… in some countries a licence is now required to have children and these are awarded according to a points system. Climate-friendly behaviour means points…
It is not unusual for governments to monitor household energy consumption in real time, with warnings sent to homes that exceed their quotas. For example, citizens could be told to turn off certain appliances such as washing machines or kettles or even have them switched off remotely. …

The Quadrant Online article contains other nauseating details of the author’s grim climate fantasies, or you can simply read the report itself.
Two of the authors named on the report, Chris Preist and Paul Shabajee, are described as being members of the HP Labs team.
I hope the association of Hewlett Packard’s name with this piece of fascist green filth is a ghastly mistake. I would hate to think a senior Hewlett Packard executive in a position of responsibility had detailed awareness of the repulsive contents of this report, yet allowed it to be published anyway.

NOTE: This article was accidentally published by the guest author (Eric Worrall) before it was ready and reviewed, and he took it down immediately after realizing his mistake. It happens, the “Publish” and “Save Draft” buttons in the editor are close together and I’ve done it occasionally as well. There’s no “are you sure?” prompt. A tweet was automatically generated when Eric accidentally hit publish, and that may have caused some people to go looking for it and finding nothing. All this happened while I was asleep. I’ve restored the post after review and placing backup PDF copies – Anthony

I worked for HP Australia when EDS was sold to HP in 2009 thereabouts. Very aggressive management slashing jobs across the board. To me, they didn’t have a clue about the IT Services Industry. They even sent everyone in Australia an e-mail asking if we wanted to accept a 5% cut in pay (Yeah right mate!) and, believe it or not, some said yes! Employees in other countries were not so lucky and had pay cuts of up to 10%.
Senior management and HR were extremely nonchalant in attitude towards employees, so a story like this does not surprise me. In fact HR were totally uninterested in the fact that I was working 75-90hr weeks for the best part of 2 years, unpaid. Major contributor to my first marriage ending. I should have sued their asses for that.
Then came, possibly, the biggest IT disaster in Australian history. July 26th 2012, Commonwealth Bank of Australia was stuck by a “patch” deployed via SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) which wiped out 10,000 PC’s and 100’s of application servers. It wasn’t a patch and it wasn’t done by someone in New Zealand either. Nope! It was an OSD (Operating System Deployment) task sequence deployed to “All Systems” by mistake, and the person still lives in South Australia and still works for HP as far as I know. Lots of senior heads rolled for that and I resigned at the end of 2012.
Why, it’s almost as if all those fantasies of horrible things happening to those horrible citizens are the true reason they believe in CAGW (or Socialism generally).
Re: “Hewlett Packard Backed Report Includes Planned Penal Colonies for Climate Skeptics”
While this report about HP may or may not be credible, it is true that honorable climate skeptics have been subjected to death threats, loss of positions at universities and other forms of harassment, intimidation and persecution.
I suggest that those persons conducting this vile “pogram” against climate skeptics are sociopathic, as defined below.
This persecution is not the conduct of rational, decent human beings – it is the conduct of sociopaths and psychopaths.

Excerpt from”
“The Sociopath Next Door”, by Martha Stout, Ph.D. (2006)
Many mental health professionals refer to the condition of little or no conscience as “antisocial personality disorder,” a noncorrectable disfigurement of character that is now thought to be present in about 4 percent of the population – that is to say, one in twenty-five people.
…
According to the current bible of psychiatric labels, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV of the American Psychiatric Association, the clinical diagnosis of “antisocial personality disorder” should be considered when an individual possesses at least three of the following seven characteristics:
(1) failure to conform to social norms;
(2) deceitfulness, manipulativeness;
(3) impulsivity, failure to plan ahead;
(4) irritability; aggressiveness;
( 5) reckless disregard for the safety of self or others;
( 6) consistent irresponsibility;
(7) lack of remorse after having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another person.
The presence in an individual of any three of these “symptoms,” taken together, is enough to make many psychiatrists suspect the disorder.
