Modern Day Witch Burners | Real Science

Witch burners created imaginary trends, and then attached imaginary attributions to those trends. She turned me into a newt. The human condition has not changed, as we now have climate alarmists doing exactly the same thing.

Triumph, Tragedy And Climate Change [Hoax]: ‘The Island [Ex-] President’ | ThinkProgress

“A cross between paradise and paradise.” This is how Mohammed Nasheed of the Maldives describes his nation in Jon Shenk’s powerful new film, The Island President.

...The film is also visually stunning. The vast blue ocean is both a serene paradise, and a powerful, threatening force, driving Nasheed’s political urgency. The Maldives capital, Malé, looks like an oasis of buildings rising out of the ocean. When asked by a reporter what was his plan B, should there be no action to slow global warming, Nasheed responds, “We will die.”

Shenk follows Nasheed in strategy sessions with his cabinet as the team seeks to leverage their moral argument as the first victims of climate change, canaries in the coal mine. Nasheed gives speeches, and makes his case with heads of states and ministers at the U.K. Parliament, at the U.N. General Assembly, in India, and finally — during the dark, crushing days of Copenhagen.

...Last month, just after I screened the movie, President Nasheed was forced at gunpoint to resign from his office...

New York City, says Nasheed, is no higher than the Maldives. A cross between paradise and paradise: this is where each of us lives, and that we all must defend.

Death-threat-apalooza: McKibben ‘endured death threats’ for linking early spring to climate change | JunkScience.com

Following in the footsteps of whiners Katharine Hayhoe and Michael Mann, now 350.org’s Bill McKibben is claiming to have been the target of “death threats.” But maybe he’s just tying to distract from an allegation of racism?
