Here’s how the Telegraph’s star blogger James Delingpole, also featured in the Spectator as a writer on climate science, starts his latest blog:

Should Michael Mann be given the electric chair for having concocted arguably the most risibly inept, misleading, cherry-picking, worthless and mendacious graph – the Hockey Stick – in the history of junk science? Should George Monbiot be hanged by the neck for his decade or so’s hysterical promulgation of the great climate change scam and other idiocies too numerous to mention? Should Tim Flannery be fed to the crocodiles for the role he has played in the fleecing of the Australian taxpayer and the diversion of scarce resources into pointless projects like all the eyewateringly expensive desalination plants built as a result of his doomy prognostications about water shortages caused by catastrophic anthropogenic global warming? It ought to go without saying that my answer to all these questions is – *regretful sigh* – no.

This sort of tripe is becoming increasingly typical for Delingpole.

Recently, he compared wind-farms to paedophilia. In 2010 he posted the name and address of a constituent who wrote an email to his MP, which led to the constituent getting threats.

It’s also hilariously ironic that Delingpole is attacking others on science, when he himself admits he doesn’t know science or has scientific expertise.

But that’s besides the point.

The point here is that when Delingpole disagrees with people, he fantasises about their horrible deaths.

But hanging? Hell no. Hanging is far too good for such ineffable toerags.

…

Indeed, it would be nice to think one day that there would be a Climate Nuremberg. But please note, all you slower trolls beneath the bridge, that when I say Climate Nuremberg I use the phrase metaphorically.

Ahh a metaphorical Nuremberg for scientists. Well that’s ok then.

Keep in mind that some of the people he mentions have already been getting death threats from climate change deniers.

Will The @telegraph continue to allow offensive hate-monger & smearer #JamesDelingpole to keep job after calling for my murder on his blog? — Michael E. Mann (@MichaelEMann) April 7, 2013

This guy is sickening and hateful, and it beggars belief he is given a prominent platform in the national media (including the BBC).
