Prosecuting Climate Dissent

Wall Street Journal ^ | 8 Nov 2015 | WSJ Opinion by email

Sheldon Whitehouse got his man. The Rhode Island Senator has been lobbying for prosecutions of oil and gas companies over climate change, and New York Attorney General and progressive activist Eric Schneiderman has now obliged by opening a subpoena assault on Exxon Mobil. This marks a dangerous new escalation of the left’s attempt to stamp out all disagreement on global-warming science and policy.

Progressives have been losing the political debate over climate change, failing to pass cap and trade even when Democrats had a supermajority in Congress. So they have turned to the force of the state through President Obama’s executive diktats and now with the threat of prosecution. This assault won’t stop with Exxon. Climate change is the new religion on the left, and progressives are going to treat heretics like Cromwell did Catholics.

Time to wake up America and Europe. It is either them or us. Throw the Tea overboard.

The totalitarian left will be loading us all into cattle cars.

And Republican leaders will continue to say nothing.

Exxon would not be “leaving” the state; they would just cease doing business there. You can’t fine someone for not doing business.

As for the Feds, it’s likely the same thing. If you do business, you are subject to Federal regulation. The response by Exxon is “we’re not doing business.” And if all of the fossil fuel based energy companies (oil, coal, natural gas) took the same approach and boycotted New York State, we’ll see how much they really want to sacrifice to save the planet. Being liberals, and therefore hypocrites, my guess is they won’t really want to personally sacrifice anything.
