Guest essay by Eric Worrall
h/t NoTricksZone, William Astley; A Solar Energy publication in Germany has demanded that politicians use climate emergency declarations as a justification to punish climate “saboteurs”, people who undermine climate action by trivialising the emergency with their climate denial.

Downplaying the climate catastrophe endangers human survival – do we have to accept that?
Why the trivialized must not hide behind the fundamental right of freedom of expression
Misleading alleged “studies” or scandal news are still spreading worldwide, the purpose of which is to sow doubts about scientifically proven warnings from climate science. For example, it has been claimed that climate scientists are exaggerating the extent and risks of global warming – in order to secure their jobs and receive more research funding. The aim of such misleading contributions is to continue fossil energy generation and economic activity for as long as possible. The Background section in more detail below .
The damage these fake messages do is immeasurable because their “camouflage” is perfect. Even readers with a good basic knowledge of the natural sciences cannot recognize the untrustworthiness of these cleverly prepared fake messages and consider them to be serious contributions to the discussion on a still undecided topic. So they prefer to wait for a final clarification. It is precisely this waiting that delays the implementation of vital climate protection measures.
One of the latest climate science studies at https://www.pnas.org/content/115/33/8252 now foresees the demise of mankind due to global overheating, if the global economic climate gas emissions are not ended within the next 10 years and active return of greenhouse gases is also introduced worldwide using technical methods. But this study painstakingly avoids any wording that could lead to panic.
At the suggestion of the fridays for future demonstrators, Constance was the first German city to call the “climate emergency ” – a rather symbolic act – but it shows what would be needed . Mayor Burchardt said that from now on all decisions pending in the town council must be assessed in terms of climate protection. At the same time, he called on the federal government to improve the legal framework for climate protection measures.
It is important, not only in Constance, but everywhere in Germany (everyone should first come to their front door) and finally worldwide, to avert the danger to the best of their knowledge and belief. In the event of a climate catastrophe, the natural sciences provide the best knowledge, but not the trivialists. What the trivialists do can be called sabotage. And sabotage of emergency measures should be punished.

No change to the Basic Law is necessary, just a further provision in the “general laws” – here in the Criminal Code – something like this:
“Anyone who trivializes or prevents the climate catastrophe defense against the climate catastrophe according to the Paris Climate Agreement and its follow-up agreements, denies or prevents the climate catastrophe, will be fined up to 300 daily rates. In the event of a repeat sentence, the sentence is imprisonment .…

Given all the jingoistic green talk of WW2 style mobilisations to address the climate crisis, I guess it was only a matter of time until someone suggested imprisonment for people who sabotage the war effort with their criticism, including scientists who criticise the work of their alarmist colleagues.

Right at the start of the article it goes right off the rails… “scientifically proven warnings”
I mean, seriously, who writes this and thinks it has any meaning.

Uhm, same tactic, exactly as Impeachment. IT’s the LEFT’s only way to fight. Let’s just give up and punish people who disagree. Priceless
I can see tons of potential in jailing those whose opinions and speech might potentially be detrimental to society. So, incidentally, did Mao, Stalin, and the three Kims.
Progressives are a nasty and mean bunch of demigods.

“if the global economic climate gas emissions are not ended within the next 10 years”
What are “global economic climate gas emissions”? Is this something new? Are these emissions the result of printing money? Emissions resulting from armored cars moving money between banks?
Would this mean that if the “global economy” crashed, there would be no “gas emissions”?
That didn’t take long, looks like a harbinger for 2020. The greens are taking action, all over.

Summer 2020 is going to be a lot like 2018, 2019 – hot, so look out, coordinated attacks on skeptics, free speech, freedom, in general, coming to every country south of the arctic this summer.
Red alert would not be an understatement.
Is Germany repeating its history? Jailing those with different views did not end very well first time around.
“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored”. Aldous Huxley
True when he wrote it and still true today.
Having read the paper in question, it seems to be a very large amount of speculation with diagrams using unlabelled axes.
Clearly the PIK has different scientific standards to the rest of us and has difficulty in distinguishing between science and propaganda.
Here comes the “Gesetz zur Behebung der Not von Volk und Reich und
globales Ökosystem.
The major worry of the climate alarmists is that subsidies to renewable energy will stop. The most vociferous proclaimers of a climate emergency just happen to be the biggest solar and wind companies. Follow the money.
What does Naomi Seibt have to say about this ?

Since they want to be dramatic and excessive, I can too…
How about we execute anyone who goes along with the climate hoax, for treason!
Yes, because the climate hoax threatens our national sovereignty and prosperity (by forcing us to give up our energy autonomy and cut production). It benefits our enemy China because they aren’t held to these standards. Therefore anyone going along with it is a treasonous eat and should hang.
(of course I’m not serious, but that’s kind of what the climate alarmist are doing here!)
Treasonous RAT! Not eat!!
It’s self evident that the globul warmin hoax is transparent and that people who claim to believe it are either extremely dumb, under hypnosis (probably some kind of self hypno-delusion) or batcrazy. Or complicit of a criminal conspiracy.
Either way, they should be treated as demented people and anything they say in any context should be null and void and any person who refuse to take that path should be considered compromised.
Not only were the Nazis Socialists, but they were also ultra green. Indeed, it is one of the biggest con jobs the world has ever seen to hoodwink almost everyone that the Nazis and Mussolini were “right wing.” Mussolini was voted Socialist of the Year. The Nazis loved nature and animals, but hated humans.
It beggars belief that Jews in particular have been sucked in by the monster LIE. Many become Socialists and Communists to be the opposite of Hitler. They have been deceived big time.
World War 2-style measures – Nazi measures, though. Not Allied measures.
Thanks for sharing best information it help me in my work
“No change to the Basic Law is necessary” –
The “Basic Law” is the since WWII still prevailing provisory German Constitution. Till today there’s no new German Constitution prepared, let alone enacted.
