The UN's Jackbooted Thugs

We have written previously about Stanford professor Stephen Schneider and how he flip-flopped from being a ice-age doomsayer to a global warming alarmist.

Now we learn that Dr. Schneider called in security rather than answer questions about Climategate from Phelim McAleer:

A Stanford professor with ties to Nobel Laureate Al Gore and the growing ClimateGate scandal used United Nations security officials at the climate conference in Copenhagen to halt questions about e-mail messages obtained from Britain's Climatic Research Unit.
Dr. Stephen Schneider was speaking at the Bella Centre Thursday when Irish journalist Phelim McAleer began asking about ClimateGate.
McAleer is known for his documentary "Not Evil, Just Wrong," which challenged the content of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth," as well as for confronting the former Vice President during a lecture in October only to have his microphone turned off.
According to a video just posted at Big Government, UN security officials stepped in when McAleer tried to ask the Professor inconvenient questions.

Professor Stephen Schneider's assistant requested armed UN security officers who held film maker Phelim McAleer, ordered him to stop filming and prevented further questioning after the press conference where the Stanford academic was launching a book.

This is what the entire global warming hoax has come to. Next thing you will see people prosecuted and thrown in jail for questioning the Branch Carbonians.
