I do see that she's implying that Harper is appeasing others who will cause major catastrophical events (such as the murdering of millions of people) to occur.
Very different.. but at the same time still completely extreme.

Yes, thats why I think the comparison is valid. Some people may not like it, because any reference at all to Nazism/Hitler is taboo to them. I think she was trying to find an event of global import and that everyone knew about and could relate to. I see it as her saying 'if Harper appeases Global Warming (as an issue), it may be a mistake on the scale of Chamberlain appeasing Hitler'.
Maybe she thinks its an 'extreme' issue that requires some 'extreme' responses? I know moderations is
always best in
all things... maybe she doesn't agree though, a lot of those enviro-types tend to regard this whole thing as a pretty important issue.
