Scientists demand obama use RICO act to prosecute global warming deniers.

If this can be done then lets also prosecute the news media for lying about 911.

Scientists Ask Obama To Prosecute Global Warming Skeptics

sep 17 2015 The science on global warming is settled, so settled that 20 climate scientists are asking President Barack Obama to prosecute people who disagree with them on the science behind man-made global warming.

Scientists from several universities and research centers even asked Obama to use the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) to prosecute groups that “have knowingly deceived the American people about the risks of climate change, as a means to forestall America’s response to climate change.”

RICO was a law designed to take down organized crime syndicates, but scientists now want it to be used against scientists, activists and organizations that voice their disagreement with the so-called “consensus” on global warming. The scientists repeated claims made by environmentalists that groups, especially those with ties to fossil fuels, have engaged in a misinformation campaign to confuse the public on global warming.

Most americans realized global warming is a scam when the movement changed its name to "climate change". Hell - climate change covers everything!!

The moment they started screeching carbon taxes you knew what it was all about. A money making scheme

that and having control over our lives. they started with ObamaCare so they figured they could trample us some more with this Globull bs warming. which wasn't happening so they went and changed the name to: Climate change
if people don't see that as a Scam on them. good grief

ALARMIST'S DESPERATION REACHES GOBBLES LEVEL...

It seems when your broken models have no predictive power and your spewage is seen as deceptive and a lie, you will go to great lengths to silence those who disagree. The list of signatures on the letter demanding that Obama use RICO to silence those showing their fraud is a who's who of climate modeling failure.

The letter;

Dear President Obama, Attorney General Lynch, and OSTP Director Holdren,

As you know, an overwhelming majority of climate scientists are convinced about the potentially serious adverse effects of human-induced climate change on human health, agriculture, and biodiversity. We applaud your efforts to regulate emissions and the other steps you are taking. Nonetheless, as climate scientists we are exceedingly concerned that America’s response to climate change – indeed, the world’s response to climate change – is insufficient. The risks posed by climate change, including increasing extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and increasing ocean acidity – and potential strategies for addressing them – are detailed in the Third National Climate Assessment (2014), Climate Change Impacts in the United States. The stability of the Earth’s climate over the past ten thousand years contributed to the growth of agriculture and therefore, a thriving human civilization. We are now at high risk of seriously destabilizing the Earth’s climate and irreparably harming people around the world, especially the world’s poorest people.

We appreciate that you are making aggressive and imaginative use of the limited tools available to you in the face of a recalcitrant Congress. One additional tool – recently proposed by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse – is a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) investigation of corporations and other organizations that have knowingly deceived the American people about the risks of climate change, as a means to forestall America’s response to climate change. The actions of these organizations have been extensively documented in peer reviewed academic research (Brulle, 2013) and in recent books including: Doubt is their Product (Michaels, 2008), Climate Cover-Up (Hoggan & Littlemore, 2009), Merchants of Doubt (Oreskes & Conway, 2010), The Climate War (Pooley, 2010), and in The Climate Deception Dossiers (Union of Concerned Scientists, 2015). We strongly endorse Senator Whitehouse’s call for a RICO investigation.

The methods of these organizations are quite similar to those used earlier by the tobacco industry. A RICO investigation (1999 to 2006) played an important role in stopping the tobacco industry from continuing to deceive the American people about the dangers of smoking. If corporations in the fossil fuel industry and their supporters are guilty of the misdeeds that have been documented in books and journal articles, it is imperative that these misdeeds be stopped as soon as possible so that America and the world can get on with the critically important business of finding effective ways to restabilize the Earth’s climate, before even more lasting damage is done.

The letters logical fallacy and conspiracy theroy show these people to be very desperate to keep funding alive for their cause. It also shows that these people have no concept of what real science is about or the scientific method.

The letter is being shredded on JoNova's site as well as WUWT;

Climate Alarmists demand Obama use the RICO act to Silence Critics

The left wit alarmists are pulling out all the stops no matter how stupid they look. I knew it was going to get uglier the closer we got to the Paris money grab but this is ridicules.

 

[Billy_Bob]

The signatories of this letter have outed themselves as shills for the left wing agenda power grab and should no longer to be considered scientists who hold any credible scientific weight. Its sad to see climate alarmism destroy science so badly.

 

[Wyatt earp]

Damn they want to use the RICO act?

Well I guess we won't be seeing anymore billboards or Indy and NASCAR teams promoting the logo



"Hey idiot the climate has been changing for 4.5 billion years"

Damn they are desperate.

Its amazing to what lengths these people want to go to silence real scientists like Dr. Roy Spencer..

The simple fact they WANT IT TO BE DONE should send chills down your spine! IT outs them as socialist control lunatics and fear mongers, not scientists.

The lawless Obama administration would be brazen enough to try it, that is the scariest part of it all. I wouldn't put anything past this Administration.

This is unbelievable they want to use the RICO act on unproven junk science...of course the weirdest thing is if all the money big oil spends...on propaganda. (according to the left)

Where is it seen? By the average American?

On billboards? No

On Indy car teams? No

On football helmets? No

At the gas pump? No

Maybe it is in school books?

Great thread.........beat me to it!!! These people and the people who support them are fascists..........and not real scientists by the way!! Einstein would roll over in his grave if he got a load of these phonies.

Now this makes more sense to me;

They are really calling for the process of prosecution. This is the next leap up from frivolous civil lawsuits that punish through harassment and expense. Having seen the mistake Michael Mann made by filing a civil suit they now figure to let the Federal Government do their dirty work. Frivolous government investigations under the guise of potential prosecution would have a devastating effect on the innocents so targeted. That is the entire point of it. And think of the screaming headlines of the main stream media!

“It Can’t Happen Here”? Liberalism is the new face of Fascism. If you have been following the news you know what the liberal state prosecutors of Wisconsin did to supporters of Scott Walker.

I think this hits the nail on the head. They have done it to Conservative groups and continue doing so using the IRS. This is simply the next step in pushing their agenda. The Obama admin has already shown they are willing to go here.

Every one of those listed are heavily funded by government grants and are connected to far left institutions. Just a cursory look, but it appears these folks are recipients of about 500 million dollars over the last 10 years.. interesting... and they were worried about messily 1.9 million realists spent..

 

[boedicca]

It's a truth universally acknowledged that if one side of a scientific debate insists that The Government silence and punish the opposition, that the opposition is in the right.

Just sayin'.

Maybe we file a civil law suit and employ the RICO for triple damages from these people ourselves? The propaganda is well documented as is the theft from every American for this lie as you so eloquently pointed out!

 

[Billy_Bob]

Dr Tim Ball doesn't pull any punches on these letter writing pukes..

There is one thing likely about most of these people, 97 percent of them know little or nothing about climate change.

The Climate Conference of the Parties (COP21) scheduled for Paris is clearly facing failure, which is pushing IPCC defenders, such as the twenty making the RICO request, to extremes. Their comparison of scientists trying to perform proper science to organized crime leaders is beyond outrageous. It is especially egregious because the people making the charges are guilty of scientific malfeasance. While not necessarily criminal, it is worse in the damage it has and will do to everyone. The monster they created using incorrect science became the justification for imposing destructive, expensive, and completely unnecessary policies on the world. These policies will do far more damage to the poor and the environment they claim to protect.
