David Suzuki Wants You In Jail For Thinking The Wrong Global Warming Thoughts

SPOTLIGHT: If you value free thought and open debate, David Suzuki is no role model.

BIG PICTURE: Amnesty International calls them ‘prisoners of conscience:’ people jailed not for violence, but for expressing the wrong opinions. This term was coined by Amnesty founder Peter Benenson back in 1961, who cited the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

Everyone has the right to freedom of thought…Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion…

Canadian broadcaster David Suzuki, 82, doesn’t believe in freedom of thought. He thinks people should go to jail if they think the wrong way about climate change.

Ten years ago, he urged a Montreal audience to find “a legal way of throwing our so-called leaders into jail because what they’re doing is a criminal act.”

In Suzuki’s universe, climate change is a compelling problem (although not compelling enough for him to reduce his own air travel). Politicians who fail to take certain measures should, therefore, lose their liberty.

The difficulty, of course, is that there are diverse perspectives regarding the source, magnitude, and significance of recent climate change.

The climate on this planet is always changing, and many smart people consider its recent fluctuations to be trivial.

Those who hold such views – whether they be scientists or democratically elected leaders – have a right to behave according to their conscience.

When the media pointed out Suzuki’s totalitarian thinking a decade ago, a newspaper article told us:

Though a spokesman said yesterday the call for imprisonment was not meant to be taken literally, Dr. Suzuki reportedly made similar remarks in an address at the University of Toronto last month.

When Suzuki was interviewed by the Australian edition of Rolling Stone magazine two years ago, he was once again asked about giving “jail sentences to former Prime Ministers.” His response:

I really believe that people like the former Prime Minister of Canada should be thrown in jail for wilful blindness. If you’re the CEO of a company and you deliberately avoid or ignore information relevant to the functioning of that company, you can be thrown in jail…to have a Prime Minister who for nine years wouldn’t even let the term ‘climate change’ pass his lips! If that isn’t wilful blindness, then I don’t know what is. (my italics)

Listen to this man’s own words. He really does think people should be sent to prison if their analysis of a complicated topic doesn’t align with his own.

Suzuki has enjoyed an illustrious, multi-decades-long career with the publicly-funded CBC. He has not toiled in obscurity and penury, struggling to communicate his message to an indifferent world.

Rather, he is famous, affluent, and influential. He has been fêted and honored on many occasions and from many directions.

Twelve years ago, he received the Order of Canada. Twenty-seven universities from three countries have already given him honorary degrees.

TOP TAKEAWAY: On June 7th, the University of Alberta will lionize a man who thinks prison is an appropriate response to contrary opinions.

    Interesting how leftists eschew religion as childish while embracing their own “gods” like Suzuki, Sagan, Tyson, and even Nye, taking orders from their Grand Pope Al Gore. It’s all about creating pseudo-religious dogma under the misappropriated banner of (corrupted) science. One needs a shovel no bigger than a garden trowel to unearth this current socialist attempt to usurp faith and place it in control of their “new world order”.

    This again shows how at least some liberals are very hypocritical. Can you imagine their reaction, which would be just, if told they could not speak in favor of the climate change movement? Yet Suzuki wants to put people on the other side of the issue in jail.

    In many ways, it is the liberals who prose the greatest threat morphing into a totalitarian society.

    Rich and famous Dr. Fruitfly needs a dose of humility and malathion.
    I hear that he has a power boat on the west coast. Wouldn’t a renewable-fuel sailboat earn him a get out of jail free card?

      P.S…The former Prime Minister did once publicly mention climate change, AKA, global warming, before he ran for election as an MP in Alberta. He said it was “a money-sucking socialist scheme” . Probably helped get him elected.
      Maybe Suzuki missed that one. At least Stephen Harper knew straight talk and used it.

    By his own metric Shill-Zuki should be jailed for his wrong thinking when confronted by the data facts. He is utterly clueless about the actual science and data. http://www.abc.net.au/tv/qanda/txt/s3841115.htm

    The utterly stunned look on his face when his dogma is refuted with facts is priceless… 1:27

    Then there is his raging Hypocrisy, much like Al Galore, his carbon foot print is 20 times the average.
