NY Times publishes cartoon about killing global warming 'deniers'


When apocalyptic cults turn murderous, they become a danger to the public. The warmist cult, frustrated by the failure of nature to back-up their prophecies of doom, apparently is turning to homicidal fantasies, and venting them in the pages of the New York Times. - Thomas Lifson/American Thinker

A truly shocking cartoon was published in the pages of that formerly august newspaper, brought to our attention by wattsupwiththat.com and climatedepot.com. In it, the frustrations of warmists over the unusually cold winter (which US Government climatologists completely failed to predict) are channeled into the suggestion that they use "the 2014 icicle surplus" as "Self destructing sabers for climate change change deniers"

NYT suggests ‘deniers’ should be stabbed through the heart – like vampires - wattsupwiththat

Admittedly, this is a lame attempt at humor/satire, something we are all well familiar with applying here at WUWT. But, imagine if the tables were turned, and the cartoon depicted global warming alarmists such as Mike Mann or James Hansen in the same role? Our friends would have a collective cow. Yet, somehow, somebody at the New York Times thinks it is acceptable to suggest “dispatching” a whole class of people that hold a different viewpoint from them.

NYT's Andrew Revkin condemns his own paper's cartoon as 'the antithesis of humor': 'This cartoon is right up there with the 'pretty edgy' 2010 climate-campaign video showing a teacher blowing up students who didn’t sign on to cut their carbon footprints.' 'Self destructing sabers for climate change change deniers' - Climate Depot

This is not the first time someone has suggested doing away with global warming skeptics.

Wanting to Kill Skeptics is old hat for warmists: Flashback: Morano on warmists wanting to kill skeptics: ‘This expresses a deep sentiment in [climate fear] movement of wanting to suppress and silence global warming skeptics’ — Let’s hope eco-snuff films aren’t the future’
