CONSEQUENCES UNPLEASANT
Leftist Alexander Cockburn gains an understanding:
Since I started writing essays challenging the global warming consensus and seeking to put forward critical alternative arguments, I have felt like the object of a witch-hunt. One individual who was once on the board of the Sierra Club has suggested I should be criminally prosecuted ...
This experience has given me an understanding of what it must have been like in darker periods to be accused of being a blasphemer, of the summary and unpleasant consequences that can bring. There is an element of witch-hunting in climate catastrophism.
You don’t say! Looks like Alexander’s joined the many who can’t get no respect. Speaking of whom, eco-sceptical Ian McEwan was recently censored by the Age - which has a history of deleting unwelcome information.
