Gore's RICO-style Prosecution of Global Warming Skeptics
americanthinker.com ^ | 4/15/2016 | Russell Cook

Al Gore is back in the news, prominently seen in a March 29 press conference led by New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, where Schneiderman and his fellow AGs announced the latest effort to use racketeering laws to prosecute ‘climate change deniers.’ Minutes after first thanking Gore for attending and noting how his 2006 movie galvanized the world’s attention about the urgency to act on climate change, Schneiderman spoke of how the group was working to find creative ways to “enforce laws being flouted by the fossil fuel industry and their allies in their short-sighted efforts to put profits above the interests of the American people.”

“We know what’s happening to the planet,” Schneiderman continued. “There is no dispute, but there is confusion, sowed by those with an interest in profiting from the confusion and creating misperceptions in the eyes of the American public.”

How delightfully refreshing would it be to see all these warmmunist assclowns brought down under the same RICO statutes for the biggest scam perpetrated on the human race ever. As far as the population concern about faux glow-bull discombobulation issue, it barely ranks in the top 20. IT'S WEATHER!

Gore is such a loathsome, despicable, hypocritical bastard.

Misuse of RICO might be anti-RICOed.

Perhaps here; perhaps in the Waco overreaction to the feud of a handful of biker.

Just like the epa, RICO has been hijacked to suit just about anything the govt wants to do to prove a conspiracy by a certain group and declare it a crime. Somebody needs to dial it back to about 3 instead of 10.

Gore and these global warming fanatics are NO different from the Nazis and should be dealt with in a similar fashion, starting with carving a “GW” into their foreheads.

The love of money is a root of all manner of evils (modern bible translation).

Gore has shamefully taken advantage of an unreasoning public panic. There hasn’t been, and probably for a long time yet can’t be, enough honest science applying to the situation that we can even tell whether a cooling or a warming is the next big thing to come up, and how long, and how bad.

What did President Bush ever do to deserve this?

Just ignoring them and laughing at them would be all the return to sanity needed. Pointing a finger at them is dangerous because that points four back at us for how gullible we were.

Manipulating data, use of propaganda, refusing to release raw data and prosecuting those who disagree with you — that’s science! You’re not anti-science are you?

Al is a hard core leftist who believes in free speech, inclusion and diversity.

Except for people who say things he disagrees with, those holding views that differ from his, or anyone having thoughts he finds threatening, uncomfortable, or just plain unpleasant.

How about using methods that any mathematician would tell you are phony.

Tennessee — the bible belt, for good or ill. The bible itself is fine. The problem is that this theme attracts its hucksters. Gore has an apocalypse that people are allegedly mapping out right now as we speak. Doesn’t matter that it’s all garbage methodology.

Ooh, is God going to have some scorching words for Al if he won’t repent.

Like I said yesterday concerning certain individuals who refuse service for compensation because they devalue someones view point. If it’s a cake, sue them. If it’s a concert, cancel it with no ill effects. I don’t see the difference in refusal of service/product. And I’m pretty sure the concert contracts had some sort of “escape” wording in them. Believe me NC, losing a springsteeeeen concert is probably a blessing.

Please don’t tell me you are in the “decorate the cake or else” squad.

LOL! Uh, no. If someone doesn’t want to make you a cake, got down the block and find another baker or bake your own. I’m just sayin’ that cancelling concerts because you disagree with someones opinion/views is the same as refusing to bake a cake. Well except that the concert performers are fighting for social just-us. Or something. The old one way street named PC Blvd. And we’re drivin’ the wrong way apparently. Glad I got the enhanced diamond plate front bumper on the truck with skid plate attached. :>)

If Gore continues with this BS, then everytime he flips on a light, starts the engine of a car, flies in a jet somewhere, he should be arrested and thrown in jail for committing the crime he so pushes...What a hypocritical bastard...

Al Gore, New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, and his fellow AGs for threatening to prosecute ‘climate change deniers,’ need to be checked in to “Boot Hill.”

You just cannot make this “sh!t” up!

The average American doesn’t understand (”confusion”) so-called “climate change” and yet they are subject to TAXATION to make them un-confused? Yet, we all pay taxes, right?

The global warming cultists should all be rounded up and charged with racketeering and industrial espionage.

This has nothing to do with “global warming”.

This is a straight up shakedown racket by leftists and financial interests to buy up the US energy market for pennies on the dollar.

Want proof? These thieving leftist bastards and their globalist free traitor synchophants won't say a peep about all of the CO2 that china, mexico, and the rest of the turd world dumps into the air every day. But that's not the real point. These bastards perpetuate the myth that only US emissions are bad, the rest of the world (who will pay for that coal we export) is okay to pollute.

The whole “CO2 is bad” meme is BS anyhow.
