Chris Trotter on Nazi (Climate)Traitors [UPDATE]

In today's From the Left opinion piece published in the Dominion Post, Chris Trotter compares those who believe that climate change is a scam designed to impoverish the world economy with Nazi sympathisers during WW2.

His opinion piece is titled, In the war for nature, the deniers are traitors. This is no mere hyperbole.
There will be of course people who whisper that the enemy really isn't our enemy. That all our individual and collective sacrifices are quite unnessary. And that, if only we would stop listening to the alarmists and extremists, then this needless and terribly costly campaign could be brought to a happy conclusion.

In 1940, England was full of such whisperers. The British ruling class in particular, was riddled with defeatists. Nazi sympathisers and traitors. Back then people called them "Quislings" and "traitors".
The upper classes were riddled with defeatists, making an oblique swipe at Lord Christopher Monckton, who is out there fighting the climate change scam.
If therefore, the battle against climate change has become the moral equivalent of a war, with all the sacrifice that war entails, then climate change denial must become the moral equivalent of treason.
Nice.

Climate change is the new trojan horse for the Left, and the whole thing falling apart due to "Emperor's new clothes" syndrome, is just too much for them.

UPDATE:
I now have the link. Have a look at the comments. Thanks, Murray!
