For a professor, I'm surprised he is confusing the ups and downs of Climate Change, which has happened throughout the history of the world, with Anthropogenic Global Warming, which has become a faith like the Moonies, Scientology and the Flying Spaghetti Monster. -
denier? Isn't that something to do with ladies' stockings? Is it going to be too hot for tights?Leave a comment:

Well, that nice isn't it
Just in time for Christmas - a death threat
Richard Parncutt, Professor of Systematic Musicology, University of Graz, Austria, reckons Global Warming Deniers should be executed.
He’s gone full barking mad, and though he says these are his personal opinions they are listed on his university web site.
Prof Richard Parncutt says:
'I have always been opposed to the death penalty in all cases…
Even mass murderers [like Breivik] should not be executed, in my opinion.
GW deniers fall into a completely different category from Behring Breivik. They are already causing the deaths of hundreds of millions of future people. We could be speaking of billions, but I am making a conservative estimate.'
Consequences
If a jury of suitably qualified scientists estimated that a given GW denier had already, with high probability (say 95%), caused the deaths of over one million future people, then s/he would be sentenced to death. The sentence would then be commuted to life imprisonment if the accused admitted their mistake, demonstrated genuine regret, AND participated significantly and positively over a long period in programs to reduce the effects of GW (from jail) – using much the same means that were previously used to spread the message of denial. At the end of that process, some GW deniers would never admit their mistake and as a result they would be executed. Perhaps that would be the only way to stop the rest of them. The death penalty would have been justified in terms of the enormous numbers of saved future lives
