“A renowned environmental activist has a stern warning for politicians and global leaders if they fail to act on climate change. ‘There are going to be pipelines blowing up if our leaders don’t pay attention to what’s going on,’ David Suzuki told CHEK News on Saturday without elaborating further.”
A scary fellow is in the news. “David Suzuki is retiring from The Nature of Things to focus on activism and calling out ‘BS’”, the headline states. “86-year-old TV host fears environmental movement has failed, but he won’t give up.”
That is about the nicest way to describe this Canadian Paul Ehrlich. “After 44 years of hosting CBC’s The Nature of Things,” Jaela Bernstien of CBC News reports:
David Suzuki’s tenure will be coming to an end. While the upcoming season will be his last, that doesn’t necessarily mean the public will see or hear less from the iconic — and sometimes controversial — Canadian environmentalist.”
Controversial? And a lot more. Said one Canadian politician:
As a Senator of the University of Alberta, I am embarrassed for this great institution that David Suzuki was given an honorary degree. I request all current U of A Senators to do the right thing and revoke his degree immediately. He promotes climate change but flies around the world in private jets and has several multiple million ESG emitting homes in Vancouver…clearly a big hypocrite that continues to make millions with his charade on supporting/promoting climate change while privately living a life of excess and privilege!
Ecoterrorist at Heart?
Zoologist David Suzuki, profiled here, is a deep ecologist. He is angry and less than rational, stating, for example: “”What I would challenge you to do is to put a lot of effort into trying to see whether there’s a legal way of throwing our so-called leaders into jail because what they’re doing is a criminal act.”
This one article tells you much: “David Suzuki says pipelines will be ‘blown up’ if leaders don’t act on climate change.” Reported Nicholas Pescod:
A renowned environmental activist has a stern warning for politicians and global leaders if they fail to act on climate change.
“There are going to be pipelines blowing up if our leaders don’t pay attention to what’s going on,” David Suzuki told CHEK News on Saturday without elaborating further.
The prominent environmentalist made the comments during an Extinction Rebellion Vancouver Island protest — called a Funeral for the Future — in downtown Victoria on Saturday afternoon. Suzuki was also at the group’s first event in the United Kingdom in 2018.
Pescod continued:
“I saw the power of civil disobedience,” he said, later adding. “People in Extinction Rebellion are saying we’re headed in a direction of extinction and we’re rebelling against it. That’s why I’m here.”
The event in Victoria saw hundreds march from Centennial Square to the B.C. Legislature, pleading with governments to do something about the ongoing climate emergency.
“It is now the age of consequences. We need action. We need a declaration of a climate emergency by this NDP government and we need them to begin to act with the reality of that emergency. We need changes in policy, no more investment in fossil fuel infrastructure,” said Dr. Don Goodeve, an organizer with Extinction Rebellion Vancouver Island.
Perhaps David Suzuki should take cold showers and sleep heatless this winter to know that it is like to not have affordable, plentiful energy. But he has the money ($25 million eco-warrior?) and resources to live just the way he wants in a high-energy world. Fresh vegetables? Maybe he can do without that too. Reported Pescod:
“We cannot go on having a food chain that is 6,000 or 7,000 miles long,” [Suzuki] said. “We’re a northern country, why the hell are we able to buy fresh tomatoes and lettuce and fresh fruit 12 months a year? We’ve got to start living in a way that reflects the place that we live.”
There is much more about this person and his controversial foundation. That is for another day.
Appendix: Andreas Malm
Suzuki has company on the blow-up-the-pipeline threat. Consider Andreas Malm, author of How to Blow Up a Pipeline: Learning to Fight in a World on Fire (2021):
Damage and destroy new CO2 emitting devices. Put them out of commission, pick them apart, demolish them, burn them, blow them up…. Sabotage, after all, is not incompatible with social distancing.
A book summary states:
The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now. Yet despite decades of appeals, mass street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry…
In this lyrical manifesto, noted climate scholar (and saboteur of SUV tires and coal mines) Andreas Malm makes an impassioned call for the climate movement to escalate its tactics in the face of ecological collapse. We need, he argues, to force fossil fuel extraction to stop–with our actions, with our bodies, and by defusing and destroying its tools. We need, in short, to start blowing up some oil pipelines.
And a quotation from How to Blow Up a Pipeline:
Do we conclude that the only thing left is learning to die – a position already propounded by some – and slide down the side of the crater into three, four, eight degrees of warming? Or is there another phase, beyond peaceful protest?
Crazy is as crazy says and does…. But make it for Halloween only.
Advocating a felony? Only if the Trudeau government agrees with you?
If a pipeline blows up in Canada, David Suzuki should be the first one arrested….. Or even in the USA, – his message gets around!
I think a prison somewhere in Nunavut would be appropriate. Let them bitch about global warming in the high Arctic
Give him MAiD.
Perhaps he/we could start with the NG drops to his many homes.
Can’t use electric heating blankets…The plug wiring is insulated with plastic derived from petrochemicals requiring FF extraction.
Can’t use synthetic cold weather gear, synthetic materials are derived from petrochemicals requiring FF extraction.
David Suzuki People are Maggots 1972
He is a flaming hypocrite with a large family with BIG house and gas guzzling vehicles ran a long Diesel guzzling Bus tour.
Yes a complete charlatan, akin to those tele-evangelist types.
From the Toronto Sun:
Suzuki, owns four homes, including one property he co-owns with a fossil fuels company.
His primary abode is a sprawling mansion in the Kitsilano neighbourhood of Vancouver, worth approximately $8.2 million.
He owns another slightly more modest property in the Kitsilano neighbourhood. Its value is listed as $1.01 million.
Suzuki owns a waterfront property on the Quadra Island area off the B.C. coast, that appears from photos to be something of a cottage getaway, complete with boat dock. The property is valued at $1.1 million.
Perhaps most interesting is a property on Nelson Island of which Suzuki is one of several co-owners listed on a B.C. land title registry, another of which includes Kootenay Oil Distributors.
These people have no shame, none.
He reportedly has FIVE houses – 4 in Canada and one in Australia.
I recently found my Mao hat and placed it up on a self in the kitchen to remind me of what happened to certain segments of society (10th level maggots?) during the cultural revolution.
I have a feeling that comrade Suzuki would of spent some time out in the countryside back in the day.
Well, the good people leave us due to age, but the crazy ones will do also.
The young are perhaps more important. They have been force-fed the climate propaganda for many years now.
Yes, by the time they are 50 they may realise climate isn’t actually changing much, but they may have done much socio-political and economic damage before then. Better mathematics education may allow younger, curious minds to call out obvious BS before it damages us all.
One of the ‘nice’ things about the climate alarm failing is that the most prominent alarmists—Mann, Gore, Suzuki, Attenborough, Wadhams—increasingly look like shrill idiots.
Amongst their prominent failures:
The climate models these soothsayers ‘relied’ upon for their scary but wrong prognostications have now been falsified at least three basic simple ways: (a) their projected tropical troposphere hotspot does not exist, (b) their cloud feedback has the wrong sign, (c) their predicted ocean rainfall is half of what ARGO observes. All three are related to the fundamental water vapor feedback.
It’s not prominent, but:
‘Your car heats up in the sunlight because of the carbon in the glass….’ should be one of the biggest credibility busters wrt Suzuki.
It wasn’t just a misstatement … It was thought about, and written, and submitted to the newspaper.
I’ve never heard of him saying that. I would like it to be true that he did. Unfortunately I’ve been unable to locate a quote. Have you a link?
I have this saved in my climate folder way back when and can’t remember where it came from. I saved it because I was amused at the appalling scientific ignorance of David Suzuki PhD.
Suzuki was a fruit fly geneticist. Climate knowledge is third hand, couldn’t tell you the albedo of a boreal forest. As a result of hosting a science TV show, he realized you could have lots of money, houses, fame, and a socialite lifestyle by doing the environmentalist schtick along with the legal tax dodge of a “charitable foundation”….
I know a LOT of people who call him Doctor FRUIT FLY.
And his PhD is a prime example of PhD really meaning Piled Higher and Deeper
Thanks for hanging onto that Robert.
(The fact that he has scrubbed the reference to the story also shows that he is aware of his lies, greed, and incompetence).
I’ve had pretty much this argument with an online idiot, claiming that greenhouses work by allowing the sun’s rays to enter, but not allowing IR to exit. All my mentions of greenhouses restricting convection were just ignored.
You can’t fix stupid!
Err, there is on carbon in glass.
True, but there is carbon in the PVB (PolyVinylButyral) interlayer used to laminate windshields. Interestingly, the PVB blocks UV which actually reduces heating the cars interior as well as protecting interior materials from fading and UV degradation. And it has no effect on LWR since the glass layer is essentially opaque to IR.
Suzuki:
“The interior becomes hot because the carbon in the glass keeps the heat in.”
I realize you likely don’t give any credence to Suzuki, but given the above, anyone that does respect Suzuki should also be thought of as being one of the (worse than) useless idiots.
Suzuki is a waste of oxygen, the world (and likely all those around him) would be better off if he magically disappeared. Quietly in the night … poof … gone.
David Suzuki retiring from ‘The Nature of Things’ to call out ‘BS’
‘Congratulations on making noise while leaving a giant carbon footprint,’ one critic chided TV host
“I never tire of (the) elite telling struggling people how to live.”
https://theprovince.com/entertainment/television/david-suzuki-retiring-from-the-nature-of-things-to-call-out-bs/
Someone recently commented that it’s a good thing for Suzuki that a leftist network like the CBC exists because no other would give him any airtime. The guy has long established himself as being as phony as a 3-dollar bill with his demands that everyone should adopt simpler lifestyles, while he maintains 4 residences and is on a plane at least every month attending conferences where he warns about carbon emissions. It’s reached a point where every time he opens his mouth he generates a larger amount of derision from those who waste their time listening.
Funny bit
Cuba currency has a $3 bill and he advocates all of us living like a subsistence farmer in Cuba.
Suzuki is a pos, anyone who respects him is mentally delayed.
It is called FFSS in medical circles: Fossil Fuel Starvation Syndrome.
Unlike similar syndromes it leads to excessive indulgence; requiring others to do the starving. It can be very infectious in unvaccinated media outlets.
Is there any truth to the claim that he funded Michael Mann’s lawsuits?
Has he got his shots? Maybe there will be justice shortly for all the anxiety he has caused for the woefully over-educated numbskulls who listen to the “climate” claptrap. Like so many of the cultists in the ideological kook belief, he just doesn’t seem to keep on the facts that their is no there, there. Its all a scam, David. As if you didn’t know.
Funny that this hits on a day when we’re being lectured about “inflammatory rhetoric” and all. But of course, like all Progressives he will get a pass.
4 or 5 years ago, Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky was attacked outside his home by a left wing protester who told police that he did it because he did not like Paul’s politics. Paul was severely injured, broken ribs, collapsed lung.
At the time Nancy Pelosi’s daughter tweeted, in support of the attacker.
Karma’s a bitch, ain’t she.
not enuf of a bitch … no broken ribs/lung injuries for daddy … just a guy in his underwear wrestling with daddy.
One thing I have learned to expect from leftists, is an impenetrable sense of self righteousness. Plus an unshakable belief that since they are the good guys, they don’t have to live by the rules they force on everyone else.
Fits right in with my long held observation that the more stupid a person is, the more unshakeable are their opinions. It’s a corollary to the Dunning-Kreuger effect.
The “Funeral for the Future” in Victoria is true for the west if the people don’t wake up to the climate scam.
Here’s a well-known activist threatening environmental terrorism if he doesn’t get his way. I told you we should be looking at possible non-governmental actors for Nord Stream pipeline sabotage.
I thought a similar thing at first but I keep coming back to the sheer amount of commercial explosives needed vs the more compact military grade ones. It would be extremely difficult to get 2 devices each of hundreds of kg of commercial explosives in place without detection – far far easier for a military unit to do it.
It’s filled with a lightweight gas like methane or propane. All it needs is to mix in sufficient amount of oxygen (air) and then compress to the point of ignition.
Blow up the pipes and wires that provide gas and electricity to his 4 homes.
See how he likes the idea. !
It really is about time some of these goofball climate activists were targeted with their own medicine !!
I am totally fed up with these clowns that talk the talk, but never walk the walk.Do as I say, not as I do.
Typical elitist/Marxist/environmentalist who blabbers about what everyone else should be doing to solve the manufactured AGW “crisis” while it’s business as usual for themselves.
Civil disobedience != violent terrorist acts. Mr. Suzuki seems to think they do.
I wonder if Amnesty International would object to prosecuting “protesters” who blew up pipelines?
Being a career “academic, science broadcaster, and environmental activist” can certainly be very rewarding, apparently.
According to Wiki: “in June 1942, the [Canadian] government sold the Suzuki family’s dry-cleaning business, then interned Suzuki, his mother, and two sisters in a camp at Slocan in the British Columbia Interior. His father had been sent to a labour camp in Solsqua two months earlier. His sister Dawn was born in the internment camp”.
Perhaps Suzuki’s lifelong war on Western freedom and prosperity is a form of revenge.
During World War II, the U.S. locked up Japanese, German and Italian citizens, including American citizens of those categories, fearing they might be used against the United States.
I’m wondering if Canada also locked up German and Italian citizens the way the U.S. did?
Sometimes radical leftists want to claim that the United States is racist and they claim one proof of this is that the United States locked up Japanese during the war and did so because of racial reasons. The radicals conveniently leave out the part about the United States also locking up German and Italian citizens because then the radical leftists couldn’t claim it was done out of racism. So they lie by not telling the whole truth.
Hmmm, didn’t know he was still around. Ignore them long enough, they should fade away….
Or you could hasten their departure by forcing them to live the way the want us to.
“…hundreds(¿) march from Centennial Square to the B.C. Legislature, pleading with governments to do something about the ongoing climate emergency.”
Well U of Vic, did fire Susan Crockford for finding too many polar bears and prof Weaver, who created the hottest model in the spaghetti graph and sued Tim Ball, lost, and then became a lefty politician. That’s something.
The violence has been going on for awhile now in Canada. The indigenous-owned Coastal Gas Link project and its workers have been subjected to violence and threats since day one. And it keeps on escalating. Someone will almost certainly get killed.
The vast majority of legacy media choose to ignore the stories. A handful will do one story and drop it.
Here’s the most recent incident:
https://calgarysun.com/news/local-news/rcmp-vehicles-torched-smithers/wcm/f6fa2f0e-349f-457c-88de-ac3b475700d8
In July, they firebombed two vehicles of a senior RBC official, which is the bank financing the project. They did this while the cars were parked at the guy’s home in Montreal.
Yeah, our government is only concerned with truckers and their bouncy castle protests, all violence-free.
Notice the firebombings and violence by leftists NEVER result in arrests. I personally doubt police even investigate.
Climate alarmist fraud. How droll. Oh, and someone mentioned a hot model in a spaghetti graph? Not spaghetti straps? Huh.
Suzuki proves that Canadians are as stupid and hypocritical as any people on the planet.
He should be jailed, but of course we have a convicted ecoterrorist for an environment minister and a moron for a prime minister proving you don’t have to be 78 to have diminished mental capabilities.
A dangerous moron for a prime minister.
“Do we conclude that the only thing left is learning to die”
yes, please lead by example.

There you go, mystery solved Mr Putin. It was the XR activists that blew up your Nord Stream 1&2 pipe line.
Halloween from Climate Central-

DS’s utter ignorance of the most basic facts makes him a laughing stock: “The very first question put to David Suzuki on Q&A last night revealed this warming alarmist’s complete ignorance of the most basic facts of global warming. Fancy Suzuki not even knowing what the world’s main temperature data sets say about global temperatures. Fancy him not even knowing what those data sets are, even when he is given their names. The only rational response to Suzuki’s astonishing admission of utter ignorance would have been to say to him: “Sir, you are a phony and imposter. Get off the stage and don’t waste our time for a second longer.” Read the exchange for yourself:

That transcript doesn’t do it justice (wrt to the Huntsville Alabama comment). He started to say something derogatory about a stupid redneck in Alabama, then stopped himself).
I hadn’t heard of Climate Central but they’re a dooming propaganda outfit feeding MSM-
https://www.climatecentral.org/
Yes, just think of all the money being spent and the effort being made to sell human-caused climate change, and yet, outside the political class, human-caused climate change registers at the bottom of polls showing what people consider most important.
The problem for the Climate Change Propgandists is there is no evidence that human CO2 is doing anything to the Earth’s weather, and people don’t see any big changes in the weather they have known all their lives.
Now reality is starting to bite. It is becoming obvious that windmills and solar are not going to be able to power society, which means CO2 is going higher, and this means that people are just going to have to live with higher CO2 in the atmosphere. Fortunately, there is no evidence that more CO2 will be in any way detrimental to life on Earth.
It’s all good. And the Climate Change Propagandists are barely making a dent in that. Outside the political class. You know, the ones that waste all our money on stupid, destructive things like building windmills.
CoveringClimateNow.org is a other one…collecting money with the “donate” button and soliciting donations from wealthy benefactors…..the webmasters collecting big bucks off the top as directors of their “charity organization”. The market is saturated…it’s too late to get rich starting one of these scamsites these days…..
From the article: “The event in Victoria saw hundreds march from Centennial Square to the B.C. Legislature, pleading with governments to do something about the ongoing climate emergency.”
There is no climate emergency. This is a figment of the imaginations of these deluded, duped people.
Show me the climate emergency. Bad weather? We’ve always had bad weather. Show me a connection between CO2 and bad weather. No connection has ever been shown. It’s a figment of the imagination. A dangerous, destructive figment of the imagination, promoted by charlatans and fools.
as Goebbels, the minister of Public Enlightenment knew….propaganda works if you keep repeating it….
“We cannot go on having a food chain that is 6,000 or 7,000 miles long,” [Suzuki] said. “We’re a northern country, why the hell are we able to buy fresh tomatoes and lettuce and fresh fruit 12 months a year? We’ve got to start living in a way that reflects the place that we live.”
this statement is proof that the worms have eaten his brain. apply this statement to all geographical regions on the globe and see what happens to world populations. maybe trudeau will ban the imports of fruits and vegetables from september to may. the words…oh canada we stand on guard for thee, should be removed from their national anthem.
Answer: Through the miracle of fossil fuel powered transportation….
As a non-stop CO2 emitter, Mr. Suzuki should first eliminate himself to set a good example.
The more there agenda fails, the nastier they get.
Jim Jones apparently had lots of relatives and followers who are still spreading the word and the Kool Aide. These eco loons will not like the reaction when their own actions actually cause pain to the majority of citizens who want heat, light, food and comfort. The eco-extremists will quickly feel the wrath of those they harm.
The only climate emergency is the widespread belief that there is a climate emergency. False belief is one of the most destructive forces linked to human stupidity.
Suzuki is the hypocrite’s hypocrite and a waste of oxygen. He does however emit beneficial CO2,and lots of it, so maybe not totally a waste.
This fellow Suzuci is an idiot with a big mouth. There is no climate emergency .
This is the biggest fraud and scam that the world has ever seen.
Climate change .The climate always changes and man has no control over the climate .
Global warming .Has not the world been far warmer than present even since the last major Ice age retreated 12 thousand years ago ?
The planet has much more important things to urgently fix and attend to that politicians around the world are doing little or nothing about .
Food emergency is what needs to be addressed urgently which will become very scarce in many countries in the next two years .
Politicians are already blaming hunger on climate change instead of looking and to what is really happening around the world .
The world Bank is well aware of the situation and is starting to distribute funds to vulnerable countries to try and grow more food.
The war in the Ukraine has disrupted shipments and with that Bastard Putin playing hard ball it looks that further shipments will not happen .
The latest figures are that 225 million people around the world are threatened with lack of food .
I am laying the blame for this squareley on the shoulders of Dumb politicians who have swallowed the “climate change nonsense” restricting fracking and developing of natural gas supplies for the manufacture of nitrogen fertilizer.,
These people in charge have to be told that nitrogenous fertilizer grows the food that feeds half of the worlds population , billion people world wide .
I missed the number
4 billion people are fed with the food grown with artificial nitrogen .
David Suzukis was one of the climate hoax prophets of doom who told Australians that climate change impact would be disastrous by 2000.
That’s our Craaaaazy like a fox Dave. Honoured elder of the perpetual fear campaign, rude arse and climate hypocrite. Lying about the end of the world has been bery, bery good to Dave and his zombie acolytes at CBC.
