The climate ‘crisis’ has nothing to do with the Holocaust

What is it with environmentalists and the Holocaust? Barely a month goes by without some prominent green or another outrageously invoking the greatest crime in human history when promoting their plans for eco-austerity.

Step up Dale Vince, green entrepreneur and donor to both the Labour party and pongy activist troupe Just Stop Oil. In an interview with the Mail, he has compared climate sceptics to Holocaust deniers. ‘Anyone who says the climate crisis is not happening or it’s not man-made, honestly, I think they’re a dangerous fool, because it’s like denying the Holocaust happened’, he said.

Were that not grotesque enough – comparing those who question green orthodoxies to racists who try to diminish the murder and suffering of European Jewry in the mid-20th century – he went that little step further, and compared the Holocaust itself to the heat death we are all supposedly about to experience.
