Democrat AGs Begin Inquisition Against ‘Climate Change Disbelievers’

[Wyatt earp]

Nitwits, we're talking about Exxon's scientists telling Exxon global warming was true, and Exxon's own documents saying Exxon agreed, but would choose to lie about it.

Again, for the purpose of the law in this case, it doesn't matter if global warming theory is correct or not. The legal point is that Exxon believed global warming theory was correct, and that, for the sake of money, Exxon chose to lie to the public and say the opposite. That's a crime, racketeering and fraud.

Lmao....

Hey how is that crime case going against Bush Jr ?


Again would people have stopped using cars ?

Do you actually think that's a meaningful response? Just as the deceptions of the tobacco industries were laid bare for all to see, the deceptions of Exxon Mobil and the rest of the fossil fuel industry would have become public knowledge.You and yours would have been revealed for the ignorant dupes you are people would have stopped believing that any controversy exists regarding human caused warming. Because it does not.

A newly released international study debunks climate models on global warming that forecast extreme rainfall and drought tied to temperature swings, casting doubt on disaster scenarios promoted by the climate-change movement.

The study in the journal Nature published Thursday examining Northern Hemisphere rainfall data going back 1,200 years found that today’s climate models were frequently wrong on predicting extreme rain and drought. Climate-change models wrong on predicting rain, drought extremes: study

Groan. Another WUWT lacky fails to realize there's already been two denier propaganda thread about that paper.

Maybe when ya guys get something right ya might have something to say......oooops missed another tipping point next

Now that you know, have you reduced your fossil fuel consumption to zero?

The Denier Cult is just that, a cult.

It is a very small group of people that are both terrified of reality and are willing to carry the water of the energy industry who lie like it's a bodily function.

Ignore these people. Here at least. Their opinion should be treated exactly the same as that of someone in the Flat Earth Society. They'll argue until they're blue in face, but again reality is not something they are willing to entertain.

Some people you just have to let go.

Yes, we must all stop using fossil fuels.
All my neighbors in Chicago can survive winter using only wind and solar, to stick it to big oil.

75/77 scientists agree with a vague question about warming, the science is settled!!!

I need to get off the computer now, my kid is getting tired of peddling. Screw Big Oil!!111....@3jfuskp

Given how CEI has so proudly specialized in harassing scientists with bogus FOIA assaults, this is especially fitting.

The subpoena:

https://cei.org/sites/default/files/CEI Subpoena from USVI AG Claude Walker April 7 2016.pdf
---
ExxonMobil is suspected to have engaged in, or be engaging in, conduct constituting a civil violation of the Criminally Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 14 V.I.C. § 605, by having engaged or engaging in conduct misrepresenting its knowledge of the likelihood that its products and activities have contributed and are continuing to contribute to Climate Change in order to defraud the Government of the United States Virgin Islands ("the Government") and consumers in the Virgin Islands, in violation of 14 V.I.C.§ 834 (prohibiting obtaining money by false pretenses) and 14 V.I.C. § 551 (prohibiting conspiracy to obtain money by false pretenses).

In relation to the Government's investigation of the above matter, YOU ARE HEREBY DIRECTED, by the authority granted to the Attorney General of the United States Virgin Islands ("USVI"), pursuant to the provisions of 14 V.I.C. § 612, to produce and deliver the documents responsive to the inquiries set forth herein, on or before April 30, 2016, directed to the attention of Attorney General Claude Earl Walker, Esq.
---

Documents required:
---
1. All Documents and Communications sent to or received from ExxonMobil, or third parties acting on behalf of ExxonMobil, concerning Climate Change, including strategies to address Climate Change or impact public views on Climate Change.
---

And the list goes on, detailing how anything that has anything to do with ExxonMobil has to be turned over.

Consistency not being their strong points, deniers will howl about how unust this is, even though CEI spent years doing the same thing.

And once the emails are turned over, deniers will ignore most of them, and only post a few cherrypicked bits that prove CEI's innocence. And they'll all claim to have read all the emails, even though they'll actually only have read what their conspiracy blogs fed them. You know, same as the ClimateGate denier fraud.

Bogus FOIAS......when scientists hide their data gleaned using taxpayer dollars we have every right to FOIA them btw even Bloomberg calls this new McArthyism..........ooooops

Didn't take long

Attack on Free Speech: CEI Subpoenaed over Global Warming Skepticism

 

[Manonthestreet]

State attorneys general including Walker held a press conference last week to talk about the investigation of ExxonMobil and explain their theory of the case. And yet, there sort of wasn’t a theory of the case. They spent a lot of time talking about global warming, and how bad it was, and how much they disliked fossil fuel companies. They threw the word “fraud” around a lot. But the more they talked about it, the more it became clear that what they meant by “fraud” was “advocating for policies that the attorneys general disagreed with.”

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman gave the game away when he explained that they would be pursuing completely different theories in different jurisdictions -- some under pension laws, some consumer protection, some securities fraud. It is traditional, when a crime has actually been committed, to first establish that a crime has occurred, and then identify a perpetrator. When prosecutors start running that process backwards, it’s a pretty good sign that you’re looking at prosecutorial power run amok. Subpoenaed Into Silence on Global Warming

Why do all the critics of this action ignore the RICO act charges? Exxon Mobil hasn't been accused of disagreeing with mainstream science. They've been accused of intentionally and knowingly lying to the public to make money. Were Big Tobacco's First Amendment rights violated by the RICO charges brought against them for virtually the exact same actions?

 

[Crick]

Why don't Republican AGs bring RICO charges against Gore and company? How many times have we heard that Gore and all the world's climate scientists are just making all this stuff up to get rich from research grants? Get the law behind you and bring that to court.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Funny they had money on both sides of the issue.......and none of your dire warnings have come true either yet the govt continues to hand you tax dollars to lie

Temperatures have continued to climb

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet has irreversibly destabilized.

Worldwide, glaciers are retreating

Temperature and precipitation extremes are occurring with increasing frequency

Arctic ice mass, ice extents and ice age have continued to shrink

Large scale changes are taking place in biological systems: plankton, fish, insects, birds, mammals, plants

Sea level rise has continued and accelerated

[Billy_Bob]

Subpoena to be thrown out and its attorneys sanctioned...

LOL.. The superior federal court is putting the brakes on the fishing expedition.. Its funny as hell that Gore went judge shopping to get his subpoena signed in the virgin islands territories and now its about to bite them in the ass.... Look for the injunction early this week..

Love the hyper bull shit.. without proof.

Its going to be an interesting cross examination of your so called scientists when they are forced to produce their evidence and causal links proving harm and causation, ruling out all other potential causes..
