(CNSNews.com) Attorney General Loretta Lynch acknowledged Wednesday that there have been discussions within the Department of Justice about possibly pursuing legal action against so-called climate change deniers.
This matter has been discussed. We have received information about it and have referred it to the FBI to consider whether or not it meets the criteria for which we could take action on, Lynch said at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Justice Department operations.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) raised the issue, drawing a comparison between possible civil action against climate change deniers and civil action that the Clinton administration pursued against the tobacco industry for claiming that the science behind the dangers of tobacco was unsettled.
The similarities between the mischief of the tobacco industry pretending that the science of tobaccos dangers was unsettled and the fossil fuel industry pretending that the science of carbon emissions dangers is unsettled has been remarked on widely, particularly by those who study the climate denial apparatus that the fossil fuel industry has erected, Whitehouse said.

More likely to see charges against those evil deniers then the honorable and upstanding clinton.
Good thing no emails from the dot clint server contained any denials of climate change!
I’m a climate change denier.
Come get me...I could use $500M
Probable cause, freedom of speech, equal protection...
Fascists.
What is needed is to pursue legal actions against radical leftwing extremists in the DOJ who scheme to pursue legal action against climate change deniers.
INSANITY.
Unapproved opinions will not be tolerated in the Obama Caliphate !!!

And you thought the “Green Police” ad from the 2010 Superbowl was funny.
Tyranny.

You’re Johnny-on-the-spot today :-)
Warren Buffett says it's 'highly likely' climate change poses a major problem for the planet
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here
These people are same as Communists. The Commies sent dissenters to “Re-Education” camps.
Total control freaks.
Seems to me the AGW/Global Warming aggressors don’t see the forest for the trees here. Simply put the Tobacco Industry hadn’t a leg to stand on in their denials, science was there, and against them, but the Climate Change advocates/aggressors are the ones without the science in this case.
There’s plenty of evidence against so called AGW/Global Warming, but only lip service in favor of it.
“INSANITY.”??
YES, ComDem Insanity!
This is what happens when you give your nation over to street thugs.
