An assistant philosophy professor at Rochester Institute of Technology wants to send people who disagree with him about global warming to jail.
The professor is Lawrence Torcello. Last week, he published a 900-word-plus essay at an academic website called The Conversation.
Torcello, who has a Ph.D. from the University at Buffalo, explains that there are times when criminal negligence and “science misinformation” must be linked. The threat of climate change, he says, is one of those times.
Throughout the piece, he refers to the bizarre political aftermath of an earthquake in L’Aquila, Italy, which saw six scientists imprisoned for six years each because they failed to “clearly communicate risks to the public” about living in an earthquake zone.
Torcello says that people are already dying because of global warming. “Nonetheless, climate denial remains a serious deterrent against meaningful political action in the very countries most responsible for the crisis.”
As such, Torcello wants governments to make “the funding of climate denial” a crime.

probably hopes to get into some homo's bum.
he was a priest who believed in heliocentrism but did not have scientific training.

Lawrence Torcello received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University at Buffalo in 2006. His research interests include ethical theory and applied ethics, social and political philosophy, moral pluralism, and skepticism.
“applied ethics, ... moral pluralism, and skepticism”???
“Kill everyone who disagrees with me”
Does anyone else see a bit of a logical disconnect here?
Perhaps logic is not his strong suit.
Perhaps he is just an ordinary liar & hypocrite.
Pretty typically liberal - their fondest wish is to use the government to punish/murder those that disagree with them.
Let’s just put this guy in a burlap bag and beat it until it’s all bloody and he stops moving. Then, if he still wants to put us in jail, let him go for it.
“... it is the scammers who should be jailed and fined.”
Algore first, followed by this Ph Torcello jerk. A month to think about their misdeeds, then the firing squad or la guillotine...but first someboddy gotta pull their heads out of their @$$e$...
Right, kind of weird to see a voodoo guy lumped in with Capernicus and Galileo
Might be hard to find volunteers for that last bit
"You're right here, Jocko. On page 945...."
Ah yes if only we could all be as tolerant as the left...
FU LT! Just try throwing me in your statist/marxist/socialist/communist gulag and I’ll go Batman on your a$$ THEN introduce you personally to the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
I remember, so why can’t we just go back to aerosols to solve global warming? I guess that solution would not make Al Gore so much money.
Typical of libtards to deny the humanity and dignity of sovereign individuals when they urge the government totally to disregard the choices, the judgment and indeed, the very existence of the mind and person of the individual.
Ah, thank you for that. So a feller whose interests include moral pluralism and skepticism wants to burn heretics at the stake? I love this stuff.
Yea, if we’re going to do the time...
I am suddenly seeing a parallel between Aryan racial supremacy and Climate change. Denying either could land you behind barbed wire.
