A comment on Joe Romm's
Climate Progress blog threatens physical harm to those skeptical of man-made climate fears. The June 5, 2009
comment, posted at 3:01 PM, under the name "Creative Greenius" warns any dissenters from man-made global warming fears that "
an entire generation that will soon be ready to strangle you and your kind while you sleep in your beds." A man named Joe Galliani appears to be the man behind the comments and the
Creative Greenius website.
Romm, a former Clinton Administration official, touts
New York Times columnist Tom Friedman praising
Climate Progress as an "indispensable blog." Romm was also
named by U.S. News and World Report as one of the "top 8 Washington players on energy and the environment" and dubbed an "Influential Liberal Climate Change Expert" by the magazine. Romm also debated
Climate Depot's Executive Editor Marc Morano on
Roll Call TV about global warming and energy policy. ( See:

This latest threat made against skeptics comes just days after the influential website
Talking Points Memo prominently featured a public call "
to jail or execute global warming deniers."

Climate Progress comment is reproduced below.
