Roy Spencer – a climate - scientist - seed - mood - denier who does not trust in anthropogenetic climate alteration – says that people who label climate deniers “ climate deniers ” will “ stamp out far more people than the Nazis ever did , ” and should be labeled , consequently , “ spherical thawing Nazis . ” Because that all voice fairly reasonable , veracious ?
“ They indirectly equate ( 1 ) the skeptic ’ view that global warming is not of necessity all manmade nor a serious problem , with ( 2 ) the denial that the Nazi ’s extermination of millions of Jews ever happened,”wrote Spencer on his blog . “ Too many of us for too long have push aside the obscene , radical nature of the comparison , ” he stay on . “ It ’s clock time to drive back . ”
Push back how ? By calling anyone who would call him a “ global warming denier ” a “ global heating Nazi . ” His abstract thought , he says , is bare and justified : Climate militant are , in his words , anti - capitalist fascists “ unforced to sacrifice trillion of sprightliness of piteous people at the Lord’s table of basal environmentalism . ” He continue :
This one-man rule be given to pass off with an over - train elect class … I have interpret that Nazi Germany had more PhDs per capita than any other state . I ’m not against educational activity , but it seems like some of the stupidest masses are also the most prepare .
… Considering the fact that these hoi polloi are support policies that will drink down far more people than the Nazis ever did — all in the name of what they consider to be a righteous effort — I reckon it is very appropriate .
Appropriateness / wrongness aside , and ignoring for the instant the notion that the term “ climate denier ” is in any path intend to be redolent of “ Holocaust denier ” ( for more discussion on that front , hold in outthis post at Media Matters ) , look at that the verbal description has actually been embraced by a number of masses who publicly doubt the consensus on mood variety . ViaDeSmogBlog :
Take , for example , denier Dr Richard Lindzen , who when asked by a BBC diarist about which descriptive term he preferred , said : “ I actually like ‘ denier . ’ That ’s close than skeptic ” . ( Six months before this interview , Lindzen hadclaimed the opposite , saying he was offended by the term.)It seems authoritative in this circumstance to point out that Dr Lindzen is Judaic .
Or there ’s also denierSteve Milloy , who tell Popular Science that : “ I ’m felicitous to be a denier . ”
Lawrence Solomon , a outstanding Canadian columnist , has written a clime book with the title “ The Deniers ” based on a serial of columns he compose , also call “ The Deniers “ .
It ’s middling evident , then , that Spencer ’s ire does not originate from a commonality of interest , or a unified position shared among climate doubter , but rather a personal and vengeful place . If the rancorous tone that colour his web log mail does n’t convince you of this , the monovular opening and windup sentence that bookend his blah surely will : “ Yeah , ” he bristles , “ somebody drive my button . ”
Who is this somebody , exactly ? They are the “ leaders ” of the “ global thaw Nazis , ” whose “ pseudo - scientific ramblings … have falsely warned of mass starving , ecological collapse , farming collapse , overpopulation … all so that the masse shot would hold their extremist policies . ” So … scientists , yes ? Your colleagues ? It bears mention here that Spencer does n’t incisively spend his days fray shoulder with fringe madman ; he ’s a Principle Research Scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville andthe U.S. Science Team leaderfor the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer ( AMSR - E ) on NASA ’s dry land - observing Aqua satellite . On one handwriting , this lends him credibility – and he ’s a favorite in conservative medium lot for exactly this cause . But then what does he really think of think of his colleagues , the overpowering majority of whomstaunchly and vocally agree that evidence points unequivocally to the reality of anthropogenetic global warming ? Are the empirically inform opinions of his research partners and academic collaborators “ pseudo - scientific ramblings ? ”

I could go on . I could tell you about how Spencer maintains that the Biblical story of creation is actual , and that creationism has a“much better scientific basis”than development , or about how he , whose work look directly on Union funding , “ view[s ] [ his ] job a piffling like a legislator … to minimize the role of government,”but I will refrain . Spencer ’s acrimonious ranting speak for itself .
