(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.

Republicans should talk about this at the next debate. Think they will? Or will they talk about Trump steak, wine, and university instead?
Lynch....confirmed by the GOP.
Thank them.
And people are threatening to vote for Hillary.. Smh
We're angry...no, we're all PISSED with this tyrannical regime.
This Cruz guy will vote for Trump, but I think the fix is in, it'll be Hillary sworn in, because of massive voter fraud.
Talk about comparing someone to Hitler!!
“...but it seems the Tree of Liberty has been languishing in a drought for some time now.”

How true! And the dems along with the GOPe want to use the Tree of Liberty for firewood.
I know a place where Trump can cut billions ....
Get ready for massive voter fraud and President Hillary.
the discovery of that trial would be interesting.
That is why Obama wants terrorists out of GITMO so he can lock up anybody that disagrees with his plans to heap massive taxation on people that use fossil fuels....

Mongolia: Deadly Cold, Heavy Snow blamed on Global Warming
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3406468/posts
Personal remark ...
Greenhouse gas causes ‘deadly cold snow’?
Makes more sense than the ‘greenhouse’ theory.
Volcanic ash is rich with carbon. A cloud of volcanic ash causes global cooling.
Water is rich with oxygen because hydrogen is puny in comparison. Water vapor makes clouds. Clouds reflect sunlight, why it feels cool under a cloud.
So how does carbon + oxygen [CO2] lead to the opposite result? A greenhouse is solid. But a ‘greenhouse gas’ ...? It’s a gas.
I’m no scientist, but it appears self-evident.
Besides, CO2 is great for plants. They thrive off the carbon and release carbon-free oxygen. Methane is even better for plants ... C2O.]
[Methane is even better for plants ... C2O.]
NOPE... carbon monoxide. Gee, and I was on a roll. But plants do like methane, and so does my brain apparently.
I’m one of their so-called climate deniers but with almost a zero net worth...don’t think anybody will ever “come after” me.
