Breaking: In a comment on this blog today, a "Stan Lippmann" confessed to writing Monday's celebrated "strung-up" email to Anna-Maria Arabia

Climate debate turns nasty as Australia tries to price CO2: Scientific American

Anna-Maria Arabia of the Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies said she received a death threat on Monday and that police were investigating the threat.

"There's no doubt that there is an orchestrated campaign," Arabia told Reuters.

"I think there are political motivations, people who have a view for and against the response to the climate science and are using as their outlet an attack on the scientists. So it may be people who don't agree that there should be a carbon tax."

I am the supposed culprit. I read how horrified she was that people were calling climate scientists "Nazis", so I Googled for her email and did my usual Nazi Bitch Whore litany, like I do every day. My usual litany includes, "When the Grand Jury is done with you, I'll enjoy watched them string you up." The reason she is not reporting it is because this is obviously not a death threat. It's an effective counter-propaganda tactic, thank you very much.

That's why we have either a good liar like Bill Clinton or a bad fool like George Bush for president, because the former can re-enforce the lie and the latter earns our false sympathy.

I became enchanted with Stan Lippmann, a physicist who has run for nearly every local office and lost every time. Lippmann, speaking in a lullaby cadence, shares with the listener an alternative reality where transportation can be fixed by magical transit systems that cost half the price and cut traffic in half, a reality where we live robust and healthy without man-made medicines, and a world “inspired by the Jetsons.” As Dow Constantine talked about the need for rapid response to swine flu outbreaks, Lippmann began shaking his head violently. “It’s all about moving more Tamiflu off the shelf," he said. "It is all a hoax. I will protect you from it."
