Calls to punish global warming skepticism as a criminal offense have surged in the aftermath of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, but it hasn’t discouraged climate scientists like Judith Curry.
A retired Georgia Tech professor, she argued on her Climate Etc. website that Irma, which hit Florida as a Category 4 hurricane on Saturday, was fueled in large part by “very weak” wind shear and that the hurricane intensified despite Atlantic Ocean temperatures that weren’t unusually warm.
That is the kind of talk that could get policymakers who heed her research hauled before the justice system, if some of those in the climate change movement have their way.
“Climate change denial should be a crime,” declared the Sept. 1 headline in the Outline. Mark Hertsgaard argued in a Sept. 7 article in the Nation, titled “Climate Denialism Is Literally Killing Us,” that “murder is murder” and “we should punish it as such.”
The suggestion that those who run afoul of the climate change consensus, in particular government officials, should face charges comes with temperatures flaring over the link between hurricanes and greenhouse gas emissions.
“In the wake of Harvey, it’s time to treat science denial as gross negligence — and hold those who do the denying accountable,” said the subhead in the Outline article, written by Brian Merchant.
Brad Johnson, executive director of Climate Hawks Vote, posted last week on Twitter a set of “climate disaster response rules,” the third of which was to “put officials who reject science in jail.”

I was just thinking what good a tall tree and a length of waxed rope would do for these global whining types.
“Meanwhile, Pope Francis said the two Category 4 storms offer proof of catastrophic climate change” ...
This Pope is doing the future of his Church no favors with ignorant statements like that.
Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.
That civil war people keep worrying about can’t happen soon enough.
Lunatics.
The next Papal Declaration - ‘’Deniers Are Infidels. Burn Them At The Stake’’
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” M

Just like abortion.
>>“Climate change denial should be a crime,” declared the Sept. 1 headline in the Outline.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Orwell warned against Stalinists in the West and they are who they are.
Stalinists lie. Always
Will there be first degree and second degree denial?
Like if you deny the first degree of warming, that’s five to ten, but if you deny the second degree, that’s two to five. If you deny the third degree, that’s community service and if you deny the fourth degree, you’re let off with a warning to watch your step.
I just need to know because I am okay with half a degree. I think that’s what most climate scientists have, by the way.
It’s a trillion dollar criminal conspiracy.
Ginned up charts and “hockeystick” graphs.
Threats and coercion.
Internal emails that expose their hoax.
Redistribution to shady “exchanges” that will turn industrial dollars into clean and pure dollars when they buy mandated carbon credits from turd world dictators.
Won’t be thought police issuing the punishments.
It will be the real police.
In fact, they already are.
Pope Francis doesn’t care to speak on truth of God’s existence or the redemption of Man.
This Pope has long since made it clear he’s not even Catholic.
Yup, that ship sailed a long time ago.
They want a modern day Inquisition with pope francis starring as Torquemada. He will be the one who decides if you get the hot oil enema (women get the hot oil douche) or if your legs are placed into wooden troughs and struck repeatedly with a heavy hammer until you repent from your evil opinions.
In the U.S.? Really does not matter where, mind control is evil wherever.
