In this crazy, chaotic world, it’s comforting to know that we can at least count on Gawker to keep us grounded in logic.
We kid, of course:
This is embarrassing, Gawker. http://t.co/VcwEpJTg1r pic.twitter.com/NOlGgGSn59

A little harsh (not to mention disturbing)? Yeah, maybe. But, well, it also happens to be kind of accurate:

But let him be clear: He’s not talking about your run-of-the-mill deniers. He’s talking about the reeeeally evil kind:
I’m talking about Rush and his multi-million-dollar ilk in the disinformation business. I’m talking about Americans for Prosperity and the businesses and billionaires who back its obfuscatory propaganda. I’m talking about public persons and organizations and corporations for whom denying a fundamental scientific fact is profitable, who encourage the acceleration of an anti-environment course of unregulated consumption and production that, frankly, will screw my son and your children and whatever progeny they manage to have.
Those malcontents must be punished and stopped.
…
Willful, profiteering public deniers of climate change can compare themselves to Galileo all they want, pretending that they’re voices of sanity in a cruel wilderness. But Galileo had science on his side. He had a telescope aimed at the cosmos. Climate deniers have their heads jammed in the sand… or in a barrel of money.
Got that? The science is settled! Punish the climate infidels!
Unfortunately, I read your latest on Gawker. Good God, man. Could you be any more stupid? @AdamWeinstein

Oh, we’re guessing the answer is yes. But why sit and speculate when Officer Weinstein and the World Climate Police have plenty of stupid right now?
@FilmLadd A Gawker writer being a colossal moron isn't exactly breaking news.

OK, fair enough. But even if Weinstein somehow possesses enough self-awareness to know he’s full of crap, there are still plenty of other people who think he might be onto something:
No but this notion they're loving on is gaining traction. RT @varadmehta A Gawker writer being a colossal moron isn't exactly breaking news.

The compassionate left wants to make rejection of its climate change hoax a thought crime. Tolerance! http://t.co/Nm5pCFsdv9

After all the climate change deniers are rounded up, then what? Is there a final solution? @AdamWeinstein

The Scientific Method:
1. Question
2. ZOMG
3. OUTRAGEOUS
4. Arrest
5. Imprison
6. Executehttp://t.co/wsOSNHFutk— Sonny Bunch (@SonnyBunch) March 28, 2014
The stupid thing about arresting climate "deniers" is that's not actually a solution to global warming.
— Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) March 28, 2014
Say you arrested all climate change deniers. How do you do you "fix" global warming at that point? Roll back modernity?

As a matter of fact …

Wouldn't it be simpler to just cut the out the tongues of 'deniers'? @AdamWeinstein
— Beef Supreme (@TorchOWyatt) March 28, 2014
.@BenHowe @AdamWeinstein @Gawker LOL. As a scientist, I laugh at your consensus "evidence", Gawker. Maybe you should be arrested for it.
— Dr. Kankokage (@kankokage) March 28, 2014
Maybe. After all, we’re dealing with criminal stupidity, here.
The left has finally gotten to the point in their evolution where they realized just how pesky that 1st amendment is.
— Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) March 28, 2014
Ban Bossy, ban “homosexual”, arrest climate deniers.
I’ve never seen a bigger bunch of babies than the prog left.

Yep.
