A student in despair over Romm’s 11°F temperature increase article – if this comment was reversed, it would be called a ‘death threat’ | Watts Up With That?

This is sad. Joe Romm promotes another overt fabrication, and some poor kid writes in despair, hoping all the “oil/coal people” here die “a horrible death, preferably caused by climate disasters”. If that were sent to somebody at ANU, it would by the Appell/Stokes rule, be declared a “death threat”. Since it’s on Romm’s site, the poster gets sympathy and counseling instead of admonishment.

People are beginning to notice that the dire green predictions have not been coming true. And frankly, more and more people are getting a bit nervous about the undercurrent talk about "the great human dieoff" that seems to take the stage whenever green elites think that no outsiders are within earshot.
