If this is the Left's new tactic to muzzle those who disagree with the hypothesis of anthropogenic global warming, maybe they'll be right when they say the debate is over.
I know that, if I'm threatened with DEATH because I dare to disagree with their 'religion', I'm very likely to stop arguing with these hysterical, irrational moonbats.

From the UK Telegraph:
Scientists threatened for 'climate denial'
The piece reads, in part:
Three scientists from eminent institutions of higher learning that are agnostics when it comes to the 'religion' of global warming.
But the 'priests' of the 'religion' of global warming claim there is no longer any debate....
That claim has just as much- or little actually- veracity as many of their other claims....
It seems that 'Pope Algore I' isn't quite so infallible as he might want you to believe.

Scientists threatened for 'climate denial'
The piece reads, in part:
Timothy Ball, a former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg in Canada, has received five deaths threats by email since raising concerns about the degree to which man was affecting climate change.

One of the emails warned that, if he continued to speak out, he would not live to see further global warming.
"Western governments have pumped billions of dollars into careers and institutes and they feel threatened," said the professor.
"I can tolerate being called a sceptic because all scientists should be sceptics, but then they started calling us deniers, with all the connotations of the Holocaust. That is an obscenity. It has got really nasty and personal."
Last week, Professor Ball appeared in The Great Global Warming Swindle, a Channel 4 documentary in which several scientists claimed the theory of man-made global warming had become a "religion", forcing alternative explanations to be ignored.
Richard Lindzen, the professor of Atmospheric Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology - who also appeared on the documentary - recently claimed: "Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves labelled as industry stooges.
"Consequently, lies about climate change gain credence even when they fly in the face of the science."
Dr Myles Allen, from Oxford University, agreed. He said: "The Green movement has hijacked the issue of climate change. It is ludicrous to suggest the only way to deal with the problem is to start micro managing everyone, which is what environmentalists seem to want to do."
Nigel Calder, a former editor of New Scientist, said: "Governments are trying to achieve unanimity by stifling any scientist who disagrees. Einstein could not have got funding under the present system."
