Hate mail of the week

I get plenty of hate mail here at WUWT. Marc Morano at Climate Depot gets more than I do, and shared this with me. It’s fairly typical for climate alarmists and leftists to resort to such smearing, because they really don’t have anything else.

Here’s a real gem. Warning – graphic language. Note, the email address is left in because he threatens to “make a new email” if he’s blocked, so I have no privacy concerns about this cowardly jerk as the email address is likely faked to begin with.

Hi Steve, Thanks for you service to the country.

Here’s my letter to B. Clark.

Dear B. Clark
You seem to be a hateful self loathing Grinch that does not have a happy moment, living in your dream, wishing that the world is going to end, just to prove your right. I suggest you go out and buy a nice Christmas tree and invite some Army and Navy vets over for a nice Turkey feast. Watch YouTube videos of the night Trump became President and ended the Globalist dream of Carbon Tax paradise, they are beautiful binge watching. Be careful your Liberal brain doesn’t explode .

Messaging you to let you know how much of a horrible person I believe you to be. The warmist propaganda you spread is horrifying. Their is no global warming catastrophe, except in hell. In fact I will pray every day you have a long normal life so you can realize just what a fool you have been. Go kiss your mother, it must be hard on her dealing with a Climate nut and a liberal both conditions can make you certifiably insane.

I was taught in elementary school that Greenland was so named so as to fool settlers into moving there, whereas Iceland was so named so as to discourage settlers. That was in the ’60s – well before CAGW.

Actually, much of coastal Greenland was quite green around the 10th century and for years thereafter. It was sold as green to attract sheepherders and farmers; I can’t remember what plant crops were grown there, but some were; and sheep and goats were raised there for well over a century. It was only when the Medieval Warm Period had run its course, and ice returned to the coasts, that the sheep farms were abandoned and the farmers moved back to warmer climes.

I understood the name “Iceland” when my Icelandic relatives visited. They wanted to go to Vancouver Island and pronounced the normally-silent “s” so that it sounded like “Vancouver Iceland.” The country’s name just means “Island” – and they still pronounce the “s”.

No.

“Island” means “Iceland”, norse “is” = ice

In Norse (and modern Icelandic) island is “ey” plural “eyar” like in “Vestmannaeyar” =”Westman Islands”.

Your Icelandic relatives are just a bit shaky on english pronounciation.

Reply to  boffin77
December 10, 2018 4:23 pm

“The country’s name just means “Island” – and they still pronounce the “s”.”

That’s incorrect. The name of the country (and island) is certainly “Island” in Scandinavian languages. It would be pronounced approximately like “ease lahnn” in English. However, it means “ice-land”; not “island”. The name certainly alludes to the glaciers that more than a tenth of the island is covered by. In Icelandic the name has an accent on the i (Í). In the Nordic (expect the Finno-Ugric) languages, “island” is spelt ø, ö, øy or ey (similar to English isle).

Not far from were I live, on the peninsula (“half-island”) (and in the municipality of) Frosta, there’s a farm named Island…

And “Frosta” doesn’t have anything to with “frost”; it means “ridge”. Other places on Frosta you find the Rygg and Kvamman farms, which happen to also mean “ridge” (although Kvamman is plural).

Frosta borders the village and former municipality of Åsen to the east. The indeterminate form of “åsen” is “ås”, which means… you guessed it; “ridge”!

Complictated stuff indeed, and that’s part of what makes it so interesting.

[The mods note that you must ascen de ridge to cross the frost line of the farm island . .mod]

nottoobrite: I don’t think “warmists” will be able to do that. It might be that real arithmetic (2+2=4) is too deep a subject for them, if 2+2= anything they want (results justify the means?). They might also not have a big enough sense of time. To me, a century is only about weather, a millennium is the minimum for discussing climate.

Reddit subs can of course ban you for “wrong think”. Happened to me about 20 times so far and I wasn’t even trying. The science forums do the same if the questions you ask are leading readers down an unacceptable path. And don’t even try to get me started on wikishitty!
Global Warming baiting on Reddit can be funny if you have an evening to spare. Takes nearly no effort to get one of the paid operatives engaging with you and repeating word for word the script from last year. Interestingly the massive virtually instant downvotes often reverse if left for a week or so. Their downvoting bots don’t keep track for more than a day or 2 after the thread ends. You can therefore get useful visibility for well made points.

The only way to win with these whackos is to be more whacko than they are… the difference being that we can turn it off and resume our sane and happy lives, whereas they are stuck in their sad angry little lives, sucking the CAGW teat to bolster their humanity-hating beliefs.

That the entire internet he is using to send the email uses huge amounts of electricity and unless its powered by 100% renewables he is just adding to global warming.

That’s actually a really good idea. If Brendan Clark doesn’t email his hate-missives each and every day, email him back and remind him that he’s slacking. Be sure to remind him that he *promised* to email each and every day until he assumed room temperature, and his failure to do so is indicative of someone who is a failure at life because he’s a failure at following through on all the small things that make up life, such as firing off stupidity-filled screedmail each and every day to those who subscribe to reality, as he’d promised.

At the bottom of each email sent to him, include some inconvenient fact which utterly decimates his religious belief in the CAGW scam.

He’ll be begging for mercy in no time. If there’s one thing libtards can’t stand, it’s having their insanity impeded upon by reality. Having *invited* same would quickly drive Brendan Clark over the edge.

It’s time to stop treating these brain-damaged kooks with kid gloves. Target them, force them to face their insanity, and if they fail to rectify their errant thinking, use facts, reality and indefatigable determination to turn their brains to mush.

I used to be a Usenet troll… and I miss making Klimate Katastrophe Kooks so perturbed that they mash their keyboards randomly before hitting the ‘Send’ button because they don’t have a cogent reply, so flustered that they compose song lyrics as tribute to their intellectual superior, so driven insane that they find themselves utterly unable to write complete sentences, so impotently angry that they spend literally days straight awake and raping Google for some hint of the identity of the person shoving reality down their slack-jawed pieholes. We need to start doing that to these kooks.

There are a limited number of these e-freaks so getting them to communicate profusely with a computer chip is a useful thing for society. In the computer security arena there are things called sandboxes and honeypots where the children are ring-fenced and play to their hearts content.

My friend Dr. Tim Ball has received many death threats, probably because he lives on Canada’s loony Left Coast. It seems that the climate lemmings run West, and build up in Vancouver before dropping into the Pacific.

I only ever received one threat, in 2002, after I wrote the first article in the National Post that slammed the imbecilic Kyoto Accord. I concluded that our Prime Minister Jean Chretien (aka Jean Poutine) should scrap this expensive folly and instead buy every Canadian a Honda Accord – that would be much cheaper and more sensible.

I received an angry, threatening email from a guy who held me personally responsible for the flooding of the Prague. Little old me! Flooded Prague! Who knew?

I replied: “Dear Sir, you are entirely correct. I am The One fully responsible for the flooding of Prague. Now “frack off” or I’ll do it again.”

But I only ever received one threat. That bothered me for a time. I mean, had I not spoken out enough against global warming idiocy? Had I not published enough articles slamming this nonsense?

That’s theoretically true in pretty much every state. The problem is when biased police frisk and disarm the likely victims of violence — but not their opponents — and then stand down. This has already happened twice in Berkeley and once in Portland, all three times ordered by the mayors; and courts have refused to hold the mayor or police liable. So in effect, both cities are now no-go zones until and unless the people rise up en masse and fight and defeat the police (fat chance).

I think it was Michael Crichton who posited that humans have a long history of religious belief, and with the decreasing popularity of mainstream religions people still need some kind of religion to fill the gap. Enter climate catastrophism, the idea of an Eden before the industrial revolution and/or farming, etc. to fill the gap. Of course, this is a pseudo-religion, lacking the fulfillment of a more legitimate religion.

I believe that if you were to poll those who claim we are on the verge of disaster because of climate change believe that the Bible is just man-made literature or that there is no God.

As a life-long atheist (I am now in my 70s) and believer in science and the primacy of evidence, for me religion, ozone ‘hole’ caused by CFCs, alien visitation, faith healing (other than psychological) and, of course, cAGW/ACC are without any scientific evidence. Until such evidence is produced I will remain sceptical.

I’m not offended by religious rants – almost all religions do that. It’s when they try to foist it on others that they act like cAGW believers and can cause untold horror. Believe quietly and get on with life and let others do the same….. because all believers are atheists as far as all religions, than their chosen one, are concerned.

It may be typical because the stereotypical hard-core climate zealot is challenged by critical thinking and may be IQ challenged as well. They are coping as best as they know how.

You can tell by the language that this person has been programmed.

That’s what dumbing down education is all about. Compliance and no questions asked.

It’s not only education, it’s child entertainment too. Sitting here reading WUWT while my daughter is watching one of her usual cartoon programs, called Teen Titans, and one character called Cybord is underneath a car on a hoist being serviced. The character talks about having fitted “…low-emissions muffler…” I kid you not.

I cannot wait for the day you die and are sent straight to hell, in fact I pray for it every day.

Let’s see … how could that backfire?

Ah, be careful what you pray for, God may answer. But not in the way you expect.

I have the opinion that he’ll is the place where you are given everything you have asked for. So be careful.

As a health care worker we get plenty of profanity especially from inebriated patients. Since I previously spent nine years in the Canadian Armed Forces my response is always the same, “I spent nine years in the army, so until you can put it to the tune of “The North Atlantic Squadron” I’m unimpressed. Anyone doubting the profanity of that song is advised to look it up.

My delinquent older brother was in the Air Cadets at St Hubert Air Force Base, St Hubert, Quebec.

So he taught me all the songs…

Away away, your fife and drum…

..Away away, your fife and drum…

And I thought I was being obscure with the last line of the Weaver and Horgan takeover of BC..

(check the last line in the post for those in the know.). Oops, I guess?

Yes, I read it several times searching for the conclusive evidence that would make me change my mind. Didn’t find any. How strange.
