Climate deniers 'are like Fritzl'

QuotePeople who fail to tackle climate change are acting like an Austrian man who locked his daughter in a cellar for 24 years, an Anglican bishop has said.

The Bishop of Stafford, Gordon Mursell, wrote in a parish letter that not confronting global warming meant people were "as guilty as" Josef Fritzl.

It meant future generations would be left in a futureless world, he said.

Mr Mursell added he was not accusing people of being child abusers but shocking analogies were needed.

In a letter featured in parish magazines in the Diocese of Lichfield, the bishop wrote: "Josef Fritzl represents merely the most extreme form of a very common philosophy of life: I will do what makes me happy, and if that causes others to suffer, hard luck.

"In fact you could argue that, by our refusal to face the truth about climate change, we are as guilty as he is - we are in effect locking our children and grandchildren into a world with no future and throwing away the key."

He said people were "right to be disgusted at these crimes" but that "mere disgust is too convenient".

"There are lessons for all of us to learn," he added.

'Monstrous crime'

But on Monday, Mr Mursell told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he did not wish to shock people unnecessarily and was not "trying to imply that people who ignore climate change are child abusers".

"I am simply trying to use an analogy to get people to wake up to the consequences of what we are failing to do, because if we don't there won't be a future for our children either."

He said it was hard to imagine a more "monstrous crime" than Fritzl's and that was why he chose to use it as an analogy.

He added: "Could you not argue that if there is no future for our children and grandchildren, we will have been guilty of committing the most appalling crimes as well?"

Interesting that almost overnight the corporate military-pharma-medical-agro-industrial-Israhell-loving-satan-worshipping complex has substituted the term "climate change" for "global warming."

I'm so damn sick of this blatant conditioning of the goyim I want to scream. The most unnerving thing is that it actually works. Today at work, where the sanitation crew now wears singlets that say "environmental protection brigade" and the hall lights are never turned on, I tried an experiment. Around closing time I grabbed my stuff, closed up my office, and went down the hall to pee before leaving. The men's and women's bathrooms are on opposite sides of the same hall as a kitchenette facility that is usually always dark, and the hall lights have never been turned on since I've been working there. So on my way to the bathroom I switched on the hall lights and proceeded to the men's room. Before I could even get my equipment out of my pants and commence micturition I heard a woman's voice out in the hall exclaim, "Who turned on the lights?!" Like it's some kind of crime against Gaia that we actually use the technology available to us.

In other news, "they" want to make it illegal for taxis to stop for people that flag them down, because all that cruising around for fares increases "carbon emissions." Well that's nice. Now they reinforce the carbon emissions brainwashing, inconvenience would-be taxi passengers, and put independent taxi operators in the poorhouse while ensuring that only big taxi companies with dispatchers stay in business.

I've had it. I'll report on my local activism when there's something to share.

I thought it said Fetzer...and I'm sure he knows climate change is a fake.
A hole press continues the lies of cackling agents.
