Climate Of Intimidation – “Under Deniers”
In a piece titled Among Deniers, science publicist Dirk Maxeiner writes about how dissent over any politically touchy topic in Germany is increasingly being suppressed lately: by applying the label “Leugner” (denier).

Especially when one considers what Germany went through during its history, I find it appalling that a person’s right to speak up and to exercise dissent here would be suppressed in that particular manner. Sadly, that is exactly what is happening now with anyone who expresses a “different opinion” on a number of politically correct topics, especially climate change.

So just how are climate dissenters being regarded here in Germany? Among some: like criminals.
