Billboard Campaign Compares Belief in Man-Made Global Warming to ‘Murderers, Tyrants and Madmen’

Heartland Institute Launches Controversial Billboard Campaign Linking Belief in Man Made Global Warming to Terrorists and Murderers

(Image: The Heartland Institute)

The free-market think tank the Heartland Institute has long been considered a “dissenter” or “denier” of man-made global climate change by many in scientific circles. The Institute doesn’t deny that itself. In fact, it recently launched a controversial billboard campaign likening belief in global warming to the extremism of mass murderers and terrorists.

(Related: Does think tank‘s ’Fakegate’ reveal agenda to spread global warming skepticism in schools?)

Why? According to the Institute’s online statement, “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.”

The timing of this campaign, which features the billboards in Chicago, is no coincidence. Later this month, the Heartland Institute is hosting its Seventh International Conference on Climate Change. The conference starts May 21, the final day of the NATO Summit, which is bringing hundreds of world leaders and dignitaries to the Windy City.

The billboards feature Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, mass murderer Charles Manson, Fidel Castro, Osama bin Laden and James J. Lee, who Heartland reminds us took hostages inside the headquarters of the Discovery Channel in 2010. Heartland states it chose these extreme examples to show that global warming is not “’mainstream,’ smart, or sophisticated.”

Here’s more:

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.

It would be expected that these comparisons be met with criticism. The Guardian’s environmental blog has come out to say “What on earth were they thinking?“ It calls the billboards ”quite possibly one of the most ill-judged poster campaigns in the history of ill-judged poster campaigns.” It goes on to wonder if such an extreme campaign would result in some supporters or those with speaking engagements with the Institute to backout or disassociate themselves:

You also have to wonder if any of the scheduled conference speakersare now having doubts about whether they want to be associated with Heartland. One person who is on the list to speak is Roger Helmer, a British politician who has attended previous conferences. Having recently left the Conservative party as an MEP, the prominent climate sceptic is now the UK Independence Party‘s spokesperson on industry and energy.

Earlier, I sent him an email with a link to Heartland’s poster campaign press release and asked him: “Will you now be reconsidering attending in light of this new poster campaign for the conference? Do you approve of or condemn the poster campaign?”

He confirmed he was still attending, adding:

I am delighted that the Heartland campaign for the Chicago climate conference has succeeded in its purpose and attracted the attention of the Guardian. I urge Guardian readers to attend the conference if they can, but failing that, to follow it on the web.

James Samenow of the Washington Post Capital Weather Gang writes he found the campaign“offensive and in in­cred­ibly poor taste.” The Hill presents more criticism of the campaign:

The PR effort drew quick condemnation. “How low will #Heartland go? This shows pure desperation,” said Daphne Wysham, co-director of the Sustainable Energy and Economy Network, over Twitter.

A spokesman for the Sierra Club also criticized the group’s “inflammatory tactics” and said they will “backfire.”

“It must be embarrassing for Heartland’s donors like Exxon to have their money used in a way that compares the majority of their customers who believe in climate change to mass murderers. But they should have thought harder before contributing to the organization that seamlessly transitioned from being apologists for Big Tobacco to being apologists for Big Oil,” said Sierra Club spokesman Trey Pollard.

Heartland goes on to explain why it thinks you shouldn’t believe in man-made global warming — man-made being the key term:

[...] the best available science says about two-thirds of the warming in the 1990s was due to natural causes, not human activities; the warming trend of the second half of the twentieth century century already has stopped and forecasts of future warming are unreliable; and the benefits of a moderate warming are likely to outweigh the costs.

[...]

Most people who still believe in global warming do so because they trust the United Nations, the so-called mainstream media, and leading political figures to be telling them the truth about a complicated scientific issue. That trust has been betrayed.

Heartland believes the UN created the International Panel for Climate Change to explicitly find a link between human activities and global warming. It believes this group has “ignored natural causes of climate variation”. Also accusing the mainstream media, the Institute claims they are “‘in the tank’ with environmental activists and big-government advocates.”

All in all the Institute writes it doesn’t believe those who hold fast to the scientific validity of man-made global warming are mass murderers or terrorists, but that they are merely calling up the “suspect” ethics of global warming advocates.

    Hey, look, an example of someone who believes something that some reasonable people also believe, ALSO has INSANE beliefs–”Joseph uses rape and child soldiers to advance the cause of Christianity–all Christians must approve of rape and child soldiers in the name of killing or converting non-believers.”

    The two arguments (straw man) are of the same (equally invalid) logical structure.

      An asteroid hitting Earth was the cause,,,,,the climate was altered drastically by the resultant ash cloud that enveloped the planet cutting off sunlight to the plants, the surface cooled rapidly because of reduced sunlight (heat). The earth then descended into an ice age called the snowball effect which simply means the entire surface was covered in ice and snow for a few thousand years. What killed the dinosaurs was a loss of food in addition to falling temps and poisioned air (huge amounts of toxic materials blown into the atmoshere and millions of tons of deadly ashe) due to the asteroid impact. That event is still just thoery but around world are deposits of a thin layer of soil/volcanic materials of uniform elements that match the rough date of the dinosaur exstinction.

Again it’s easier to deny something as uncomfortable and frightening as climate change than try to do something about it. Like the tobacco industry in the 60s and 70s – you can get a long way telling people not to worry. Tell them what they want to hear.

      Forested or not Forested has been shown to make a 10% difference in rainfall. I for one am from the stock that started arbor day before the the left started hijacking the conservation movement. For another I like to fish, hike & hunt. SO I like wild or semi wild places. I am just pointing out what the 3rd world sees as hypocrisy of the developed world telling them to not develop a piece of land only because we developed ours a mere 100 or 200 years ahead of them.

      I have found out people are pretty much people all over. When they have money they want to go on holiday. And when they go on holiday they want some green places to visit as well as historical/cultural places or the beach. The best way to preserve green space is for the up coming nations to become rich. The only way to do that is capitalism & not redistributionism.

      If they plow the Amazon fence row to fence row they will fail, just as we did. If you try to get them to put areas under protection the size if state form development, you will fail. I look for Some parts of Brazil to be more into tree farming than agriculture. I also look for Brazil to have undeveloped land due to the flooding that you cannot really prevent nor should.

      No, polution doesn’t produce anything. Polution IS the product. Carbon is considered polution by some very foolish people, but it’s just an element. Your body is carbon-based.

      You probably meant carbon dioxide, which is a product of you breathing, as well as what’s produced when you burn organic material. Plants then consume the carbon dioxide and the product of that consumption is oxygen. Maybe oxygen is the polutant, eh?

      All forests are rain forests. What you’re most likely referencing is a jungle. I don‘t know of anyone ’destroying’ jungles.

      I have no doubt that some jungles have been cut back and the underlying land developed. If it’s developed into farm land or into a park, it’s quite likely it converts as much or more carbon dioxide than it did as jungle. If not, then you prove to me there isn‘t another acre somewhere else on Earth that wasn’t planted that could replace the acre of jungle that concerns you so much.

      There are two primary emotions that have more-or-less controlled mankind since fire: fear and greed. Logic, being a higher use of human intellect, is not a gut reaction to anything. and only the wise (not the “educated”) stop to think, rather than merely react. So, if we who believe in freedom and individual responsibility are ever to win over those who have, so far, simply pulled the lever in favor of those who would set themselves up as our masters, we must, just as the erstwhile Furhers’ of the world, appeal to deep-seated emotions. We may, after rousing them from their murky, tax-fed sleep, teach them to think. But most people, intuitively understanding that thinking is hard work, never get around to doing any of it.

One of the biggest problems we have in society, with both conservatives and liberals, is the fact that we don’t stop to think about anything. Everything is emotion driven so when a billboard shows up that agrees with you, no matter your affiliation, you vehemently agree with it, even when that billboard is using the most flawed logic to get its point across.

      Ridiculous, isn’t it? Just like these climate change billboards.

      Oh you bet I would. However, in the realm of public influence, people are not going to listen to facts like there has been insignificant warming over period X, or that the IPCC violated 72 scientific principles to come to its “conclusions”. What the voting public listen to are ads about cuddly polar bears, penguins who might starve at the North Pole (even though there are none there). The voting public is one of the few barriers that stand between the centralization of control in the name of the religious moronic dogma of man made global warming and freedom. Boring scientific honesty turns them off.

      While I certainly see where you’re coming from, I can’t with any conscience agree that the ends justify the means; especially when faulty arguments such as these give ammunition to those who are looking for any opportunity they can find to discredit climate change skeptics.

    I can only imagine the outraged blaze reading rightwingers if an atheist organization put up a billboard with, oh, say HITLER saying “I believe in Christ. Do you?”

    LOL

    This has to be the most fallacious, misguided attempt at reason I’ve ever seen. By all means, rightwingers, keep it up. It gives everyone who still lives on planet earth a good laugh.

      I consider myself conservative overall and I agree with you 100%. This campaign is nothing more than ad hominem nonsense. And your Hitler/“Belief in God” analogy is spot on.

      In Nazi Germany… Hitler was promoted as a Faithful Christian! Maybe a little history reading is in order!

      LUKERW, Hitler used various religions to manipulate Germany’s populace. He was born into a Catholic family, but was never known to have anything to do with any church in his adulthood.

      Remember 10:10 and all those people involved in it’s production who thought it was funny to blow opponents heads off.

      Not quite in the same league as attempting to influence opinion by association (would you like to be called a holocaust denier for years on end?). This is not the same as saying it’s OK to become mass murderers.

      Google “10:10 video.” to see how it was percieved as “OK” to eliminate those who disagreed with the warmist point of view

      Or remember when Greenpease threatened violence against these “Holocaust Deniers” on their website with a “we know where you are” threat on their website.

    I believe it compares the warming to being a crazy loon more then to murder. And you have to be as loony as Ted to believe it is settled CONscience. That is the con job by the alarmist to believe consensus can parade as true science.
