If climate alarmists get their way, citizens who are skeptical about claims of “global warming” could soon be living alongside murderers, drug dealers and bank robbers.
Bill Nye, frequently at President Obama’s side when he’s finger wagging about “climate change,” didn’t criticize assertions that skeptics should face hard time for their opinions.
“Robert F. Kennedy … said that ‘climate deniers’ and energy CEOs belong at the Hague with three square meals and a cot with the other war criminals,” Marc Morano, publisher of CFact’s Climate Depot, said to Nye. “What is your thought on jailing skeptics as war criminals?”
“We’ll see what happens,” Nye responded.
“Was it appropriate to jail the guys from Enron?” he wondered with a shrug of the shoulders.
Enron executives were imprisoned, of course, over accounting fraud, not for violating the opinions of climate alarmists.
“So, we’ll see what happens. Was it appropriate to jail people from the cigarette industry, who insisted this addictive product was not addictive?
“And you think about in these cases, to me, as a taxpayer and voter, this doubting — the introduction of this extreme doubt about climate change is affecting my quality of life as a public citizen.
“So I can see where people are very concerned about this and are pursuing criminal investigations, as well as engaging in discussions like this.”
Attorney General Loretta Lynch recently testified before Congress that the Department of Justice and the FBI have “discussed” the prospect of taking civil action against skeptics.
The Daily Signal reported:
In news that should shock and anger Americans, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that not only has she discussed internally the possibility of pursuing civil actions against so-called “climate change deniers,” but she has “referred it to the FBI to consider whether or not it meets the criteria for which we could take action.”
Lynch was responding to a question from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who urged Lynch to prosecute those who “pretend that the science of carbon emissions’ dangers is unsettled,” particularly those in the “fossil fuel industry” who supposedly have constructed a “climate denial apparatus.”
