I’ve never heard of Richard Glover before today, not that I recall anyway. But I really don’t like the guy. His article in The Sydney Morning Herald calls for climate change deniers to be tattooed so they can be scolded by their grandchildren someday. He realized that such a plan is just a bit too reminiscent of the Nazis, so he came up with a plan B for those of us not subscribing to the religion of global warming – force us to buy island property, and then drown!
On second thoughts, maybe the tattooing along the arm is a bit Nazi-creepy. So how about they are forced to buy property on low-lying islands, the sort of property that will become worthless with a few more centimetres of ocean rise, so they are bankrupted by their own bloody-mindedness? Or what about their signed agreement to stand, in the year 2040, lashed to a pole at a certain point in the shallows off Manly? If they are right and the world is cooling – ”climate change stopped in the year 1998” is one of their more boneheaded beliefs – their mouths will be above water. If not …
He goes on, and on, about how the left is right but has been wrong about things in the past. So the right must be wrong and it’s about time we own up to reality. As I write this, in the month of June, I’m thinking about turning on the heat because it’s so chilly.
As far as worrying about my children and grandchildren – I’m a bit more worried about the communist occupying the White House and the massive debt he’s piling onto the shoulders of my children than I am about some unproven theory and computer models manipulated by folks who have much to gain by hyping climate change. Glover can take his climate tax and, well, you know.
Update: Little Miss Attila linked – thanks!
Update 2: If only we had all gone to Harvard…
Thanks so much for your thoughts on this brainwashed kook. Chilling drivel from this scumbag. Amazing how a zero nobody does the devils work and Satan rewards him with some attention. The left is hate and darkness. Another Obama lover from down under.

Hahaha, that’s really funny! The way you didn’t recongise irony and satire and instead gave the impression that you actually thought this guy was being serious about tattoos and drowning GW deniers. Bahahahaha! You crack me up Jerry!
But the icing on the cake was that you used Satan in the context of reality and then gave him credit for Richard Glover getting media attention. Whoever posted his article (well, article extract) on this site is the one that gave him the attention. How could you, or anyone in your country, have possibly been aware of this article if morons like the Lonely Conservative didn’t repost them elsewhere?
Maybe, if you want to actually have some credibility, you should stop criticising off-shore satire pieces and actually start tackling climate change research or something.
Idiots.

If you read the article you will see those statements were made tongue in cheek. You will also see that he heaps as much scorn on the left as on the right, but of course party idealogues (on both sides) are so blinded may not be able to see that.

I put this article and several replies to it on my site but will post it here as well. Because contrary to the climate change koolaid drinkers theories, we’re not calling it a liberal hoax because we hate bankers. We’re calling it what it is, because human-caused climate change propaganda is misanthropic and I’m sure it’s contributing to some serious emotional problems in the world. Jim Jones got his followers to kill themselves too.
Next Crazy Climate Kook Con Ocean Acidification Lake Minnetonka Liberty

Oceans of bulltosh.
First it was “acid rain” – woops, that amounted to nothing.
Then “global warming” – woops, the temps fell.
Then they called it “climate change” in an attempt to try avoiding having to admit to being wrong however the temperatures went, while managing to blame everything in the universe on human beings. But – woops, emails were revealed showing the bigwigs at the top of the pseudo-scientific cult of misanthropy and money-grabbing, were found out to have faked data and hoaxed the world!
These misanthropic hoaxes escalate and behave exactly like chain letters.
Chain letter 1: Pass this on and you’ll get good luck, money from Bill Gates and Disney, and your crush will call you at midnight. Don’t pass it along, and you’ll be cursed with bad luck.
Acid Rain: Oh NOOOOES! We’re causing acid rain and it’s turning everything green! You can stop it by putting your life on hold and giving us your money so we can stop the rain because only we know how to stop it!
Reality: Wait, I thought going green was the whole idea in the first place. Anyway, nada. No big die-offs from so-called acid rain, that was the initial good luck/bad luck scare.
Chain letter 2. Poor little Jessica Mydek and Amy Bruce are dying of brain cancer caused by beatings, have a heart and pass this chain letter on and save them or else you’re a terrible selfish child-hater!
Global warming: Oh NOOOOOES! We’re making greenhouse gases and dog breath and cow beltches are suffocating the world! Stop dairy farming and eating beef, keeping dogs, stop doing anything at all that involves owning animals and making your life anything but barely surviving! We’re all killing the planet by being here! We must stop this at once! We must stop everybody else from thriving Anybody who doesn’t listen to us is a planet killer and they deserve all the bad luck they get!
Reality: Oops, it’s gotten down to -30 every winter and lately our summers have been relatively cool.
Chain letter 3. Woops, her name isn’t Jessica Mydek, it’s Tamara Martin, and you must absolutely pass it on and save her! Otherwise you’re a godless, heartless jerk and you deserve whatever happens to you!
Climate change: Woops, so the world isn’t a pressure cooker and didn’t end in 2000. It’s still freezing out here in winter and we can still breathe, well then it isn’t global warming, we’ll call it climate change, and you disgusting other humans better do what we tell you and stop everything we told you to stop when we were yelling about global warming because you’re still the blight of the earth and the universe!
Reality: Right…
Chain letter 4: Urgent! Pass this on for wonderful luck! Bless your friends with this chain! Or don’t pass it on and bring hard luck on all of your friends and yourself for life!
Ocean acidification: This is serious! The oceans are acidifying and it’s all humanity’s fault and guess what? You’re part of it! You can stop it by believing what we say, doing what we tell you to do, and giving us the money and control we desire to make that happen so the planet may be saved!
Conclusion: Acid rain, acid oceans, one hoax borrowing from another, just as the ones in chain letter form do. All of the above urge you strongly to relinquish your own power and control over your own life, and they all claim it’s for your own good or for good luck.
To that, I call bulltosh!

Same here, I always secretly rebelled against this brainwashing through school, and am very quick to hit the remote whenever that stuff is spouted on TV. I’ve had a huge problem with nature shows always villifying the human race in relation to animals. Talk about mega “Oh, shut up!” time! But it’s little wonder so many people are killing themselves and suffering from depression, because if they believe this crap, it’s basically telling them they are bad.
And all this CO2 bullcrap, please! As if the wild animals aren’t putting out a heck of a lot more of it than we and our animals do. The eco-nuts simply don’t want people thinking about that. Everything they say is for the purpose of putting down the human race.

Here are some facts. Quotes from the misanthropic loonies themselves.
The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. Population control is the only answer — Paul Ehrlich – The Population Bomb (1968)
I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000 — Paul Ehrlich in (1969)
In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish. — Paul Ehrlich, Earth Day (1970)
Before 1985, mankind will enter a genuine age of scarcity . . . in which the accessible supplies of many key minerals will be facing depletion — Paul Ehrlich in (1976)
This cooling trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century — Peter Gwynne, Newsweek 1976
If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year 2000…This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age. — Kenneth E.F. Watt on air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day (1970)
“What we’ve got to do in energy conservation is try to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have approached global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so we will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.” — Timothy Wirth, former U.S. Senator (D-Colorado)

H’m! This Paul Ehrlich is a major wierdy. Especially that bit on England. What the heck!? Willing to take bets on countries collapsing? What kind of sick thing is that! And the first one really gets at me-what do you mean “population control”? The opening line “The battle to feed humanity is over.” Aaaaaaaagh! Maybe if you’re a misanthrope!
Reply by Capri
Exactly, that’s what the whole climate change, global warming, eco/animal activist nutters are, they hate the human race. Some troll got on here and posted a message which I deleted and put up these activist quotes. The troll is still chugging the misanthropic koolaid and he said we should look at the “sience” and proceeded to call us idiots for not believing in the villification of our species for a non-existent climate crisis. What a dipstick! It’s more politics than science, and what sadly passed for science in the eyes of way too many people was the human-caused climate claptrap. Now, it’s coming out that it was all a hoax and data was deliberately messed with, and the whole idea of these nuts is to scream about overpopulation and get the rest of us to jump off the nearest bridge, leaving them in charge of the world, probably to try knocking each other off.
Some people still cling to that climate change BS the same way forward addicts cling to chain letters “It can’t hurt to forward despite what they say, I could be helping someone or brightening their day!” Uh, no… “Oh, I know it’s a chain letter, but the message was still worth while!” Not with the “forward or else” strings attached, and not if I’ve already seen it 7 times within as many days from different people. “But it just might be true, so I’ll pass it on anyway! Otherwise, someone could be getting hurt and I’d be to blame because I didn’t pass this petition on!” No, stupid!
And despite exposing the eco movement as a huge human-hating political hoax, some people refuse to see that, and insist on clinging to their sick world view.
For some people, it’s clear that you just can’t fix stupid.

Hahaha! Yeah, that sums it up!
Sheesh, especially the can’t fix stupid part. Ugh…don’t I know it!

Sadly, these folks are already imposing death with their take down of true scientific progress and research. In Germany they ban nuclear energy one day, and the next get a terrible, mutated killer strain of e coli from “organic” farming. The inspirer of the ecological stormtroopers, the WWF’s Prince Phillip has avowed his desire to be reincarnated as a deadly virus in order to eliminate “excess population.” Remember the ecofascists’ faux pas when they produced this video?
