I can’t imagine the hysteria that the left would be going through if this were reversed. I think I’ll start refusing to give customers my services based on their view of global warming. If they believe it is manmade and the cap and trade scam is the way to save the planet, then I will refuse to do any work for them. Sounds good to me.
Climate of hatred: Prominent scientist refused service due to skepticism
By Steve Milloy Wednesday
Prominent MIT physicist and global warming skeptic, Richard Lindzen, was recently refused the services of a Boston-area art appraiser because of global warming.
As Lindzen described in an e-mail:
In our recent house fire, an 18th century oriental rug was burnt, and we needed an appraisal of its value for our insurance. We were referred to a dealer, [name withheld], who agreed to do the appraisal. However, when my wife, Nadine, brought him the burnt rug, he rudely turned her away saying that he had sent me an email explaining his position…
Here’s the text of the art appraiser’s e-mail to Lindzen:
I am sorry to inform you that after some consideration, I’ve decided not to perform the appraisal service that you’ve requested. Your writing on the subject of global warming is offensive to me personally, and I feel that I would have difficulty being an impartial appraiser of value given my view on the subject.
