Prof. Hoffman: ‘Just as few people saw a moral problem with slavery in 18th century, few people in 21st century see a moral problem with burning of fossil fuels’ [email protected]
Reaction to Hoffman's slavery analogy: 'Skeptics have been called 'deniers' a deliberate comparison to Holocaust denial...We've been labeled traitors to the planet...I don't know what's more offensive, the idea that skepticism of global warming is a moral injustice on par with slavery, or the fact that those people pushing global warming think of themselves in such incredibly self-righteous terms where they're the ones saving humanity from itself.'
