“Hitler comparisons in politics are, as a rule, never a great idea.
In this new video, Viscount Monkton — the British semi-celebrity critic of global warming science, now in Copenhagen — expands on his view that young climate activists are like Hitler Youth, suggesting that the “misplaced belief in climate change” is killing more people than Hitler.
Re: Brendan’s video.
Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.
There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.
Why I hate Xmas
(O)CT(O)PUS is in an inky mood today. I despise the godbots and the noisy rabble that always ruin the holiday spirit, and the relentless reactionary rightwing hacks and their criminal hackers, and the boiled frogs and their false conspiracies, and the constant harassment. Today, I’d rather kick a climate change denier, tear someone’s face off, and drown all humanity in a tidal pool.
May I open my presents now?
relax
you seem stressed. I recommend a holiday. Get yourself down to an airport and buy a ticket to some southern paradise. While you're there rent a big suv and have a scenic drive around and live the good life and don't forget - those right wingers are the problem!
