What we find most persuasive about the global warming alarmists is their reasonableness, their willingness to hear other sides, to weigh criticism and, well, just their out-and-out tolerance for disagreers. Just kidding.
Here’s a sampling from a buddy of ours, Mark Tapscott at SFExaminer.com:
Environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lashed out at skeptics of 2007, declaring “This is treason. And we need to start treating them as traitors.’ In 2009, RFK, Jr. also called coal companies ‘criminal enterprises’ and declared CEO’s “should be in jail… for all of eternity.”
NASA’s James Hansen has called for trials of climate skeptics in 2008 for “high crimes against humanity.”
A post on Talking Points Memo by “The Insolent Braggart” who poses an interesting question: “So when the right wing f–ktards have caused it to be too late to fix the problem, and we start seeing the devastating consequences and we start seeing end of the World type events - how will we punish those responsible. It will be too late. So shouldn’t we start punishing them now?”
In 2006, the eco-magazine Grist called for Nuremberg-Style trials for skeptics. In 2008, Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki called for government leaders skeptical of global warming to be thrown “into jail.”
Heart-warming, no?
Ever wonder why they froth so? Could it be because if they don’t shout down or intimidate the other side into silence, they might be found out for advocating a fraud? Nah, that couldn’t be it, could it?

Yet another snippy comment from our resident Watermelon (green on the outside, red on the inside) Marcotico.
The comments made by the individuals in the blog would make great comedy for Monty Python or National Lamppon. I appreciate passion, but these folks have fallen off the edge (a little play on words by a flat earther).
