Billboards Compare People Who Believe In Global Warming To Serial Killers
The Heartland Institute is putting up billboards featuring Charles Manson, the Unabomber, and Osama Bin Laden around Chicago to advertise their annual conference. This is real.
This is the explanation the Heartland Institute gives for their billboards on their website:
Because what these murderers and madmen have said differs very little from what spokespersons for the United Nations, journalists for the “mainstream” media, and liberal politicians say about global warming. They are so similar, in fact, that a Web site has a quiz that asks if you can tell the difference between what Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, wrote in his “Manifesto” and what Al Gore wrote in his book, Earth in the Balance.
The point is that believing in global warming is not “mainstream,” smart, or sophisticated. In fact, it is just the opposite of those things. Still believing in man-made global warming – after all the scientific discoveries and revelations that point against this theory – is more than a little nutty. In fact, some really crazy people use it to justify immoral and frightening behavior.
Of course, not all global warming alarmists are murderers or tyrants. But the Climategate scandal and the more recent Fakegate scandal revealed that the leaders of the global warming movement are willing to break the law and the rules of ethics to shut down scientific debate and implement their left-wing agendas.
Scientific, political, and public support for the theory of man-made global warming is collapsing. Most scientists and 60 percent of the general public (in the U.S.) do not believe man-made global warming is a problem. (Keep reading for proof of these statements.) The people who still believe in man-made global warming are mostly on the radical fringe of society. This is why the most prominent advocates of global warming aren’t scientists. They are murderers, tyrants, and madmen.

MARSHALL FOX a year agoI heard that Charlie Manson also believed in God and Mathematics. The TRite Wing lives in a babblebubble.

davidw15 a year agoThese billboards combine two of the dumbest logical fallacies: argument from authority (or in this case, against), and syllogism. Here, I can do it, too: (1) Hitler was anti-Communist.
(2) Most Global Warming skeptics are anti-Communist.
(3) Therefore, most Global Warming skeptics are Nazis. -

zombiebait a year agoIs this really the low that super conservatives have sunk to? So if you believe that global warming is real then you’re akin to Manson and bin laden? Even though there is tons of scientific evidence to prove it. And deregulation of industry have been responsible for countless disasters? I mean really… The only people who will agree with this are people who already think this.

WhatTheHolyHeck a year agoThe black-and-white, comic book perspective is hilarious. Dear winger idiots: even crazy, violent sociopaths can be right about some things while being wrong about others. It’s a pretty rare human indeed who is 100% wrong about everything.

deaddrift a year agoFrom the Heartland Institute page: “Nobody should believe politicians who say they want to raise taxes, give subsidies to their buddies, or regulate growing industries in the name of ‘global warming.’ Politicians aren’t scientists, and they aren’t motivated by the search for scientific truth. Mostly, they want to raise taxes, redistribute wealth, and regulate industry because doing so increases their power and chances for reelection.” [My emphasis.] A clearer demonstration that this group is not good at recognizing reality could hardly be imagined. ‘Nuff said.

boopbop a year ago97% of scientists say that climate change is caused by human activities.
2% aren’t sure and want to study the subject more before making a conclusion.
1% deny any human influence on the climate. The only people who don’t “believe” in man-made climate change are also the people who don’t “believe” in evolution. These uneducated folks are the same people that republicans manipulate into voting for them by pandering to their ignorance while simultaneously passing laws that keep the poor and ignorant from advancing. -
