Climate Change Deniers continue to Intimidate Climate Change Advocacy

Climate scientists have been facing life threats due to an "ongoing campaign of cyber-bullying directed at climate scientists themselves. Any climate scientist in the news now receives a torrent of aggressive and abusive emails."

This has been ongoing since last year for several scientists and threats were not limited to verbal threats alone. "Climatologist Ben Santer even found a shredded animal on his doorstep late one night after someone rang his doorbell."

This intimidation campaign for climate change advocacy has shown to be indomitably pursued by conservatives." Targeting individuals at their residences is a strong indication that the intimidation campaign is determined and well-orchestrated."

The efforts of these  so-called 'climate denialists" who mostly are conservatives and conservative activists are undoubtedly unproductive. Man nowadays through technology has a profound effect of changing the earth much more rapidly than we were able to, hundreds and decades of years ago. Thus it is of no no doubt that MAN has truly caused what we are all experiencing right now, from the earthquakes of Haiti to the flooding in Manila, which caused thousands of death and millions worth of damages.

Thus if we just keep on arguing about the authenticity of climate change, then we are just wasting our time. Each second that passes by counts. We'd rather help fellow human beings prepare for the impacts and try to stop climate change at its roots.
