Have you heard about those who have called for the execution, strangling and a sort of Nuremberg war crimes trial for climate change deniers?
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) wants legislation to punish climate change deniers.(likesuccess.com)
It began with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse’s (D-RI) calling for the criminal investigation of people and organizations seen as global warming deniers, using perhaps the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
In an op-ed by Walter Williams, the esteemed John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University (GMU), he wrote of a letter signed by 20 signatories calling for the president to use RICO to punish those who dispute the “consensus” of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Six of those who signed the letter are GMU faculty members.
Regular readers of this blog will recall that I have written about those individuals supporting the continued government funding of climate change research, who are the recipients of federal study grants. Frankly, they don’t want to see their money dry-up.
Jagadish and Anne Skulka are considered “climate change profiteers” by GMU colleague Walter Williams. (iges.org)
An example of this was cited in Williams’’ op-ed. GMU meteorologist Jagadish Skukla was the lead signatory of the letter sent to the president and attorney general asking for RICO laws to prosecute “corporations and other organizations that have knowingly deceived the American people about the risks of climate change.”
Williams referred to him as a “climate profiteer,” saying Skulka and his wife, Anne, were paid $1.5 million from government climate grants for part-time work.
Again, I remind you that while I believe there has been climate change, I will also remind you that it took place before there were fossil fuels, even before mankind. And mankind today cannot reasonably reverse warming through daily choices.
