Climate scientists back call for sceptic thinktank to reveal backers | Environment | The Guardian

James Hansen told the Guardian: "Our children and grandchildren will judge those who have misled the public, allowing fossil fuel emissions to continue almost unfettered, as guilty of crimes against humanity and nature. But the eventual conviction of these people in the court of public opinion will do little to ease the burdens that will have been created for today's young people and future generations."

"The science is clear. Unless we restore the planet's energy balance and stabilise climate, by rapidly reducing fossil fuel emissions, we will leave today's young people a rapidly deteriorating climate system with consequences that will out of their control. If successful, the FOI request may, by exposing one link in a devious manipulation of public opinion, start a process that allows the public to be aware of what is happening, what is at stake, and where the public interest lies."

That LA Times article is painful to read. Now the leftists are openly against openness. If they had Stalinist powers, theyd shut down productive civilization with an iron-fist, and force all of us grovel before them to prove we have satisfied their mandated lifestyle changes.

This article and what it represents -- a vile assault on our integrity and intelligence -- calls frankly for retribution. The costs of their manipulations and deception are to be counted in both freedom and $. Tables will turn.

Take their looney denigration of those "that continue to deny the severity of climate change." Just go outside... there's nothing wrong with the climate. Such bilge.
