Junk Science: Without evidence to back up their claims, climate zealots have taken to intimidation. They're blacklisting academics who have the nerve to question the "settled science" of climate change.

The latest victim of climate McCarthyism is Caleb Rossiter, who, until his op-ed challenging the "consensus" on climate change was published in the Wall Street Journal, was a Democratic academic who briefly forayed into politics but was content to crusade against U.S. support for dictators and against the use of anti-personnel land mines.

In that op-ed, Rossiter called himself an "Africanist." He not only questioned the science behind climate change warnings but the impact of abandoning fossil fuels on human progress on a continent that's lowest in production of carbon emissions and the neediest in terms of economic development.

See, they eat their own. And he'll probably still remain an idiot despite that. Demookkkrat and academic didn't used to go together. Long time ago and far, far away.

The climate change cult will persecute anyone who challenging their religion, much as militant Islamists do. They haven’ beheaded anyone....

And yet, Jeb Bush can push commie core and still be a GOP front runner.

It’s not McCarthyism. McCarthy was right about the communists. These global warming hoaxers are not right, and oppressing those who disagree is fascism, pure and simple.

I know. I get a little fired up when the McCarthy label is used incorrectly.
