Shock Jock Thom Hartmann: Climate Change Deniers Should Be In Prison

“You are paid to lie to people” he told skeptic Paul Driessen on his radio show.

 

“I am talking about racketeering, organized crime. I am calling you a criminal” said Hartmann, warming to his theme.

 

“You are killing people…You have five million climate refugees…Dead children, your responsibility….It’s all the consequence of climate change.”

 

Well I’ve been on Hartmann’s show myself and I know that gibbering hysteria is how he rolls. “Take a chill pill, Thom, baby,” you want to tell him. Or you would if he ever let you get a word in edgewise, which unfortunately he never does. He’s not interested in what you have to say because he already knows all the answers. Which is a shame because if he listened more and frothed and foamed less, he might actually learn something.

 

On the subject of climate change, for example, he’d learn that people on his side of the argument are just 100 percent wrong. Not one single death, anywhere in the world, ever, can be laid at the door of climate change skeptics – not least because they currently have almost no influence on global environmental or economic policy.

 

For years, decades even, it’s the alarmists who have held sway. They’re the guys who write the dodgy dossiers – aka the IPCC assessment reports – on which world leaders base their misguided policies; they’re the ones who advised the Pope on his misbegotten encyclical; they’re the activists who infest the UN, the European Union, the cod-scientific institutions (NASA GISS; NOAA; the Royal Society; the National Academy of Sciences; the Climategate Climatic Research Institute at the University of East Anglia; the Met Office, etc) which so assiduously use their weight to advance the green agenda; they’re the green lobbyists from Greenpeace, Oxfam, the BBC, Friends of the Earth, the New York Times, the Guardian and so on who create the false narrative that “global warming” – and not, say, Islamism or Russia or the still-fragile world economy – represents the greatest threat of our lifetime.
