Beginning in 1478, the Spanish Inquisition systematically silenced any citizen who held views that did not align with the king’s. Using the powerful arm of the government, the grand inquisitor, Tomas de Torquemada, and his henchmen sought out all those who held religious, scientific, or moral views that conflicted with the monarch’s, punishing the “heretics” with jail sentences, property confiscation, fines, and in severe cases, torture, and execution.
One of the lasting results of the Spanish Inquisition was a stifling of speech, thought, and scientific debate throughout Spain. By treating one set of scientific views as absolute, infallible, and above critique, Spain silenced many brilliant individuals and stopped the development of new ideas and technological innovations. Spain became a scientific backwater.
As an old adage says, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. So we now have a new inquisition underway in America in the 21st century—something that would have seemed unimaginable not too long ago.
Treating climate change as an absolute, unassailable fact, instead of what it is— an unproven, controversial scientific theory, a group of state attorneys general have announced that they will be targeting any companies that challenge the catastrophic climate change religion.
Speaking at a press conference on March 29, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said “The bottom line is simple: Climate change is real.” He went on to say that if companies are committing fraud by “lying” about the dangers of climate change, they will “pursue them to the fullest extent of the law.”

Pennsylvania, here I come!
We saw this happen in China in the 1960s.
Some actual evangelism could help change that story.
People get the idea that there is a competent God at the helm of things, and they won’t fall as easily for the panic du jour.

Hitler would be so proud of them.

Yes because only politicians can lie legally-
[[“The bottom line is simple: Climate change is real.”]]
Was this determined BEFORE or AFTER you all fudged the satellite data to fit your agenda? (NASA or whoever was monitoring satellite data changed the satellite data from several satellites using hte excuse that ‘they had drifted off course slightly and weren’t giving accurate readings’
That’s what I like about Trump - he calls a spade a spade.
From the article:
The coalition of 17 inquisitors are calling themselves “AGs United for Clean Power.” The coalition consists of 15 state attorneys general (California, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Virginia, Vermont, and Washington State), as well as the attorneys general of the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. Sixteen of the seventeen members are Democrats, while the attorney general for the Virgin Islands, Claude Walker, is an independent.
Of course “Climate change is real” and “Humans have had squat to do with it compared with natural factors” do not equate to the same thing.
BRING the debate out. I think the average redneck will not be fooled. Same as that the average redneck knows that what has been brought forth as theories of evolution couldn’t work without some massive help on the side, making the attempt to distinguish it from a work of God rather moot.
. If I remember correctly the last time a judge looked at this issue via "an Inconvenient Truth" he found a lot of flaws in the arguments made. As you say Discovery should be interesting.
If Michael Faraday was still with us he'd want one of his own cages to shelter from this nonesense.

We are literally weeks away from a Go.

All i know is that it’s April 4 and it’s 20 degrees out right now, snowing- but I’m thankful for global warming because without it i might be 0.010 degree colder than i am right now and I might not survive it

It must be some kind of nasty genetic streak with Northeasterners. No wonder 17th, 18th and 19th century Europe dumped them.
The simple answer is, fewer Democratic liberal AG’s.
