1/ Michael Shellenberger, former hardcore environmentalist who regularly insisted climate change was an existential threat to human civilization has since changed his position. http://nationalpost.com/opinion/john-robson-forbes-falls-to-cancel-culture-as-it-erases-environmentalists-mea-culpa

2/ Media provided him a platform when he was preaching the dangers of climate change. Since his change of heart, outlets like @Forbes are deleting his columns. Why? See a few quotes below demonstrating the draconian measures used by radical leftists to silence dissent by insiders

3/ “I mostly avoided speaking out against the climate scare. Partly because I was embarrassed. After all, I am as guilty of alarmism as any other environmentalist. For years, I referred to climate change as an ‘existential threat... But mostly I was scared.”

4/ “I was afraid of losing friends and funding. The few times I summoned the courage to defend climate science from those who misrepresent it I suffered harsh consequences. And so I mostly stood by and did next to nothing as my fellow environmentalists terrified the public.”

5/ I am no climatologist so I am unqualified to comment on his change of heart; however, the now common place tactic of silencing opposing points of view represents a clear and present danger to our democracy and freedom.

6/ We must fight cancel culture in all its forms. If we don’t, someday soon we may find we have completely lost the freedom to speak our minds. #iwontbecancelled
