Death Threats to 'Denier'

Hat Tip From LGF here:
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."


Yes, I think those who disagree at the human causes to Global Warming are sceptics and not deniers.

Here is the link from LGF of the BBC 4 documentary this 'Denier' was on (oh I'm sorry...Sceptic).
