Kansas City's Ch. 4 weatherman Mike Thompson, who's very unhappy with those in favor of global warming:
"It is easier to silence scientific dissent by utilizing the politics of personal destruction, than to actually debate them on the merits of their arguments. That should tell you something about the global warming debate...there is none right now...it's either you believe, or you are to be discredited. Isn't that how Hitler took control of Germany?"

Yep, that's exactly it. Hitler and the Nazis took over Germany because they silenced opposing scientists by taking away their grant money. It's been said (before and much better) that the last refuge of any scoundrel is equating their opponents to Hitler. Why do they do this? Because Hitler is the personfication of the "Big Lie". If my opponent is Hitler, then he must be telling a Big Lie!
Look, I've not spent any time thinking about Global Warming. I won't pay cash money so Al Gore can lecture me. I've no idea about the science behind the debate. I do know that equating this debate to Nazi doctrine on Aryans and Jews and anyone who's skin isn't pearly white is amazingly stupid.
Save the Hitler comparisons for when it really applies.
