Hans Schellnhuber threatened with noose by LaRouchite at Melbourne Climate Conference

Another day, another death threat

Another scientist got a death threat a couple of days ago. This time it was Hans Schellnhuber. The Australian reports:

Anger against scientists involved in the climate debate is reaching dangerous levels and it's only a matter of time before one is murdered, says leading German physicist Hans Schellnhuber. ...

While he was opening a recent climate conference in Melbourne, a man in the front row waved a noose at him. "I was confronted with a death threat when I gave my public lecture," Professor Schellnhuber said.

"Somebody got to his feet and showed me a rope with a noose.

"He showed me this hangman's rope and he said: 'Mr Schellnhuber, welcome to Australia.' "

Of course, the folks who deny AGW will deny that this happened, but for the rest of you, here it is on video:

The Citizens Electoral Council is Australia's own LaRouchite group.
