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.”

“Literally dying” - I don’t think so.
Thought police complete with punishment.
As long as we can jail anyone that thinks there are more than two genders or that transgender is isn’t a mental illness.
There is no better proof that ClimateChange/GlobalWarming is #FakeScience than calls to punish its critics.
Better yet: jail the “scientists” who fail to see the link between Atlantic underwater volcanism and ocean temperatures.
Using it as an excuse to enforce Thought Control is just more evidence that the Left is in its final throes of insanity. Their entire movement is coming to its explosive climax... and in the end, they will either have control, or the nation will be a smoldering ruin, or we will have dodged a massive bullet that has claimed dozens of nations in the last century.
Calling Mr Orwell.
They are just begging for some crazy right-wing Nazi to round THEM up and punish THEM.
Or, take ‘em out back for hangin’.
“should be a crime”, but no laws have been approved to make that so. I will defend myself with deadly force from attempted punishment.
Come and get me.
U.N. Official Admits Global Warming Agenda Is Really About Destroying Capitalism
Idiots.
I wonder if there is any good solid way to speed that up?
Some kind of Meme or hashtag?
I don't twit so how about a T-shirt as well?
It's gotta be new and very catchy.

How about we punish the liars promoting the hoax?
If AGW were real, it could prevail with facts and proof.
Since it is NOT real, they propose protecting the lie agains the onslaught of facts and proof.
And then they get to take the heretic's stuff. :)
Can somebody tell the democrat party/left that Orwell’s 1984 is NOT a handbook for governing?
The Climatist Inquisition is only missing one thing: The Comfy Chair!
