Greenpeace Threatens ASF Sceptics

[Garpal Gumnut]

May I warn all ASF posters in the Climate threads to update their firewalls particularly if you link to Twitter accounts.

A leading Greenpeace head has threatened those who value free speech. The argument is becoming a quasi Fascist/Green versus Enlightenment/Rational debate.

This quote is from the UK Guardian, a guy called Gene Hashmi, a leading Greenpeace activist posted this on the Green website.

The proper channels have failed. It's time for mass civil disobedience to cut off the financial oxygen from denial and scepticism. If you're one of those who believe that this is not just necessary but also possible, speak to us. Let's talk about what that mass civil disobedience is going to look like. If you're one of those who have spent their lives undermining progressive climate legislation, bankrolling junk science, fuelling spurious debates around false solutions and cattle-prodding democratically-elected governments into submission, then hear this: We know who you are. We know where you live. We know where you work. And we be many, but you be few.

This further confirms my opinion of these people as Fascists in Green clothing.

What a chilling statement.

then hear this: We know who you are. We know where you live. We know where you work. And we be many, but you be few.

Actually Gene, it is we (i.e. realists) who be many and you (i.e. deluded zealots) who be few... and getting fewer as time goes by.

These clowns should be veeeerrry careful not to piss off lovers of liberty too much.

Lets hope he is found before he gets too silly.

In my opinion this is threat enough to get prosecuted.

Pity most of the time our legal system can act after threat is carried through.
