Three scientists investigating melting Arctic ice may have been assassinated, professor claims


A Cambridge Professor has made the astonishing claim that three scientists investigating the melting of Arctic ice may have been assassinated within the space of a few months.

Professor Peter Wadhams said he feared being labelled a “looney” over his suspicion that the deaths of the scientists were more than just an ‘extraordinary’ coincidence.

But he insisted the trio could have been murdered and hinted that the oil industry or else sinister government forces might be implicated.

The three scientists he identified - Seymour Laxon and Katherine Giles, both climate change scientists at University College London, and Tim Boyd of the Scottish Association for marine Science - all died within the space of a few months in early 2013.

1. It's kind of difficult to arrange a lightning strike.
Prof. Boyd was struck by lightning while walking his dog in a lightning storm.

Sneaky Bastards!

If the BFEE can steer a hurricane toward a major city, certainly they can kill a single man with a lightning bolt.

2. Not if you can control the weather.
 
Or if you have Zeus on the payroll.

This is a sort of ongoing CT that comes up every once in a while on Coast2Coast AM, missing or dying scientists.

Seeing how most gov'ts seem to be all-in for the global warming scam the only way they would be involved is if the scientists were finding evidence of how much of a hoax global warming is.

Umm . . . Oreo just returned, and ran away.  She's waaaay behind the couch--meowing something about "sneezing while using lightning." :o :whistling:

I think I found the culprit. :argh: :tongue:

Lightning got one and the polar bears got the other two.

That was lightning abuse.
The 1.2 jiggawats generated by the bolt should have been harnessed into the flux capacitor.

From https://climatechangeplanet.wordpress.com/tag/seymour-laxon/ (https://climatechangeplanet.wordpress.com/tag/seymour-laxon/):

Quote
Professor laxon fell down a flight of stairs at a New year’s Eve party at a house in Essex while Dr Giles died when she was in collision with a lorry when cycling to work in London. Dr Boyd is thought to have been struck by lightning while walking in Scotland.
...
His suspicions drew outrage on Saturday from Prof Laxon’s partner, who was also a close friend of Dr Giles. When told what Prof Wadhams had said, Fiona Strawbridge, head of e-Learning at UCL, replied: “Good god. All of this is completely outrageous and very distressing.”

The couple had been staying in a friends’ converted mill in the Essex countryside when her partner fell down the stairs in the early hours of New Year’s Day. He died the next day from head injuries.

“It was very steep stairs and I heard Seymour fall,” said Ms Strawbridge, “It is just completely bonkers [to suggest murder].

Re the lorry (= truck) and the bicycle, bicyclists being killed by cars and trucks happens pretty much every year here in Silicon Valley, on city streets and in the nearby hills. I don't even want to think what it's like in SF!

Methinks Prof. Wadhams needs to lay off his various recreational chemicals, THC especially.
