>apocalypse is nigh, you prepare for it

No that's only the wingnut rapture ready crowd (i.e. the Religious Right).

>People who believe, truly believe that an environmental apocalypse – be it through increased temperatures, a rise in sea levels, or super-hurricanes — is imminent,

Nobody says it's imminent as in next month, however in 50-100 years time, the Earth is not going to be a nice place to live. Now however, we've had super hurricanes, massive flooding, out-of-control wildfires, massive heat waves, etc., etc.. The denialists are denying any link of these to AGW and that's pathological pattern of denial coming from that sect. These are signs of an "apocalypse" to use the denialist terminology (only the denialists are using the word "apocalypse"). To bolster their "case", the denialists are going around exaggerating claims by the AGW science community, that's clear. That's bald-face lying to a "T".

Filthy. Parasites. Disgusting, overbreeding candidates for sterilization and extermination. Possessed of false morals and a “breeding culture.”

Hitler talking about the Jews? Nope. This is Discovery Channel hostage-taker James Lee talking about ... human beings. Compared to Lee, Hitler was a piker, philosophically: Der Fuehrer only wanted to kill those he considered “subhuman.” Lee considered all humans to be subhuman.

Lee was a nut, an eco-freak who said he was inspired by Al Gore’s environmental scare-documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth.” His badly written “manifesto” underscores his craziness. He hated “filthy human babies.”

But, of course, Lee’s not alone. Looking at the environmental literature, we find terms like those used above -- the currently stylish description is “eliminationist rhetoric” -- used widely, and plans for mass sterilization are ...
