A Liberal senator has likened an academic news and analysis website's decision to ban climate change deniers to some of history's most infamous tyrants

Liberal Senator Eric Abetz has linked a website banning comments from climate change deniers to Hitler, Stalin and Mao.has announced a zero-tolerance approach to climate change deniers and sceptics, vowing to remove comments and lock accounts.But the decision has outraged the conservative Tasmanian senator.

"Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong couldn't have put it better themselves. They'd be so proud," he told parliament."To so superciliously and arrogantly deny a voice to an alternative point of view is reminiscent of totalitarian regimes." In a blog post, The Conversation's editor Misha Ketchell said people peddling pseudoscience were perpetuating ideas that would ultimately destroy the planet.As a publisher, we won't perpetuate ideas that will destroy the planet.

Abetz is just projecting, because he himself is a nazi!!!

Say what I want to hear, or you're a Nazi.

Absolutely. AGW lions can’t come with any scientific evidence to show CO2 drives climate, so shutdown dissenting views otherwise you might be exposed to some facts. Can’t have that.

Gotta love Erica

Luckily for Eric Abetz, deniers are being blocked... not exterminated...

Oh FFS

Yet he doesnt see the propaganda and legislative agenda of the ScottMorrisonMP govt to Hitlers views? Mindboggling.

Been doing some reading about Uncle Otto, Eric?

Let's ban Liberal senators as well, it's pretty much the same thing.

The Conversation 'no longer likes scepticism' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says The Conversation “no longer likes scepticism” as the media outlet announced it will ban the publication of views it disagrees with.\n\nThe Conversation’s Editor Misha Ketchell said “Climate change deniers and those shamelessly peddling pseudoscience and misinformation, are perpetuating ideas that will ultimately destroy the planet”.\n\n“Is questioning alarmism denial? Is being realistic about our ability to shape climate forces denial? This is the triumph of emotional alarmism over fact and reason,” Mr Kenny said.\n Today the dogfucker is confused about balance and bullshitters. He conflates the desire of a site to move the climatechange debate on to banning and censorship. In the same way that you might ignore flat-earth bullshitters from an astronomical discussion. That’s official BBC policy as “ the science is settled” I.e. they know the biggest green scam ever has been rumbled. Imagine if a government banned conflicting views. Let’s burn books again.

'You’re not trying hard enough. Sorry,' Greta Thunberg tells US CongressSwedish teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg on Tuesday called for action, not praise, from US lawmakers as she joined other youth leaders in kicking off two days of meetings and speeches on Washington’s Capitol Hill. Silly little manipulated hypocrit, if she’s serious she’d toddle off to China and India and peddle her tripe. This is peak leftist absurdism. The media presenting this creepy kid as some kind of moral arbiter and font of wisdom. When, in reality, she's just an empty sock-puppet being used by cynical adults who should know better. AdamBandt I am dying to see if trump gets stuck into her. I hope that he does. A 16 year old mentally challenged lecturing to US Congress. Am I reading this correctly. 🤯
