A bit of Yuletide humour for the policers of Godwin's Law. You know who you are!

Beyond bizarre: University of Graz music professor calls for skeptic death sentences
Austrian Prof: global warming deniers should be sentenced to death
Richard Parncutt, an Australian Professor of Systematic Musicology at the University of Graz, Austria, reckons people like Watts, Tallbloke, Singer, Michaels, Monckton, McIntyre and me (Jo Nova) 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.
He says
Recant you foolish deniers or we’ll kill you! Yeah. Welcome to modern scientific debate.

Who should die? Anyone named on Desmogblog? So the "denier" database becomes the “death list”? Some, not a million miles from this board, will be pleased!

He’s gone full barking mad, and though he says these are his “personal opinions” they are listed on his university web site.
He 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 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.”
"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."
Recant you foolish deniers or we’ll kill you! Yeah. Welcome to modern scientific debate.
