The Green Gestapo

Are coming for us.

The authors, who are all University of Exeter professors, advocate fines and imprisonment for people publishing “climate misinformation” online. They justify their call for imprisonment by claiming tremendous harm from “misleading information that is created and spread with intent to deceive.”

    1. Joseph , I would say you are correct. Used to be only politicians made their living by lying, now everyone is in on the act.

  1. “A Dark Age is not just a period in which people no longer know how to do things. The real key is that people no longer remember that certain things can be done at all.” ~ Jerry Pournelle

    “The arrogance of some of those who are so damned sure they are right is just astounding. Scientific witch hunts are often the worst kind, and have been since the secular authorities stopped enforcing the local bishop’s decrees of anathema.” ~ Jerry Pournelle

  2. Hmm. supposed to be a response to Joseph.

    No. “The end is nigh!”. So their sandwich-boards declare. Any who cast doubt upon this certainty are sinners who deserve to burn in the coming thermageddon. The sinners must be cast out or locked away. Only they can the truth-tellers with the sandwich-boards call forth Gaia to save the righteous.

    Repent! Repent! Send your cheques and money-orders to…

    1. Well, when the Vatican got into that game centuries ago, they where restricted by the fact they had to depend on longhand written absolutions. Really gummed up the process.
      Then Gutenberg came along and before you knew it the Pope was contracting Michelangelo to brighten the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

      Same process now, different church.

  3. Start here …. Climate change is a joke.

    It was Global Warming until they could no long pretend that there was Global Warming … so they renamed it ‘Climate Change’, but failed to mention what the state of climate was and what is was changing to.

    Crickets ….

    So that is why it qualifies as a joke. It’s not serious. It makes one laugh, cynically. Climate people are clowns.

    I don’t think this is false information about the climate … What I wrote here is true.

  4. The war on people and the single family dwelling has commenced. There’s some Solingen stainless in my kitchen, looking for some work.

    1. I wonder how many families in Europe decided that their numbers should be limited to match the autos available to them? Or the micro-apartment?

  5. This is why the world needs men like Mark Steyn. They will be able to silence and oppress people only until they hit such a person and that person fights back. This would never stand up in any court because they would have to show their data.

  6. I wonder how far they will have to go before we drown them in their own pool of lies?

    1. I wonder how far they will have to go before we drown them ? There. Fixed it for you.

      1. Yep. I will be willing to stand on the head of those who said sea level will rise and destroy us all. Where I lived on the east coast it is the same as it was 70 years ago. No scientific measurements necessary. Docks that had the high and low tide are still there in many places for 70 years.

        1. Well since the Ocean bottom is not the same as the Continent bottom …That would mean that Gravity maintains a balance & all water drains into the Ocean… Equilibrium shit is difficult and we would not -want to wobble out of Orbit….If you understand that a Condom expands comfortably without Organ damage…..you get how the Ocean bottom is dynamically relative to the Continent….

  7. This is amusing. The side that refuses to debate the issue is actually suggesting legislation that would require them to do just that in a legal setting subject to other penalties for lying to the Court.

    The Left always overplays their hand….ALWAYS.

    1. Blasphemy laws cannot be overturned by truth. They’re not calling for scientific discussion, they’re calling for silencing the heretics under force of law.

  8. So when Greta says that she can see CO2 molecules in the air……?

    Straight to the slammer?

    When Michael Mann loses his court case over his fake Hockey Stick they want him jailed?

    Defund the thought police.

  9. When Monty Python did the Church Police skit they had no idea that the rent seeking whores at Exeter masquerading as climate scientists would pick up on it 40 years later.

    Perhaps they are getting concerned that the raw global temperature data hasn’t been cooperating with the narrative for the last 5 years and people are “allowed” to see it! http://temperature.global/

  10. Well except the “spreading of misinformation” would result in all of THEM in jail.

  11. One more reason to ad credence to my advice to carpet bomb universities. And one more university to make the list.
    One redeeming quality of Exeter: they don’t pimp for professional sports teams. I think.

  12. Damn,that long march through the institutions..was so pointless.
    Morons remain morons,whether they gain tenure or not.
    Having been forced to pay for these institutions and then to have had to reeducate their product whenever you encounter one..I for one look forward to them being consumed by fire.
    Entirely predictable they have piled up the combustibles and keep playing with fire,but somehow,it will be taxpayers fault when they get burned.
    I shall stock up on salt,to properly “bless” the ground they burn on.

    You might have thought after the disaster of “Pound Me Too” that they would realize their new rules will also get applied to them.
    New rules,means neither evidence, proof nor fair process shall apply.

    So prison ,as an option?
    Can we contract the “Jail for Cultists” of the Cult of Calamitous Climate, out to Nunavut?
    They have some”Soon to warm” Islands that are surrounded by Sea and Polar Bears that would be perfect.
    Banishing,from civil society, all those who violently hate civilization and our current lives of luxury,would go a long way toward restoring law and order.
    As these fools and bandits insist civilization must fall,so they can create “Heaven on earth”,in their image, it is only right and proper they live what they preach.
    So isolated from the rest of us,for we are preventing them from reaching their heaven,they can live their dream..
    With no one to hold them back and no host to freeload upon..
    Starvation in 10 days or less?

    1. Morons remain morons and they somehow have the power to destroy non-morons.

  13. I take comfort in knowing the so-called intellectuals are among the first to be dispatched by the revolters.

    I’ll be happy to help when that day comes.

  14. Environmental activists are the worst human garbage out there. And also the most arrogant about their ignorance and stupidity.

  15. Try to look at it from a different perspective.
    Could the intellectuals not be all that stupid (pun intended)? Could they actually understand that by pushing for the climate insanity, they are crippling the 3d world’s industry and agriculture and helping to starve the excess population off before the brown deluge drowns us? Could they actually be reasonable?

    1. I doubt it. Progressives have been for extermination of “lesser peoples” as long as they’ve been around. That’s a big part of why they need to destroy or warp Christianity to achieve their goals.

  16. I have been hearing that the North Pole will be ice free in 12 years since 1989. Does that mean a whole generation of climate “scientists” need to be imprisoned?

    Just asking for a friend.

    1. There was no one around to notice it because we all died when the population bomb went off in the mid 80’s (and we all starved to death).

  17. When all the blocks have been knocked out from under their corrupted ideology all they have left is to intimidate and threaten dire personal consequences to anyone who even threatens to say bull..s…… .

  18. How is this “misinformation;” to demonstrate how those now demanding censorship were shown to be misinforming?
    KGB police state tactics at work again. How amazing the tolerant progressive are the first to cancel, destroy and censor.
    Reminds me of a political cartoon, the “Joseph McCarthy Political Correctness Ranch,” where “you’re free to say what we think.”
    It’s also reminder these repressive cancer culture malignancies don’t reside with any particular ideology; a warning for leftists.
    What did Lenin call them? Useful idiots and the first to go to the wall or gulag once totalitarian power was consolidated.
