It was a year ago when a long list of scientists wrote to the Obama administration urging the federal government to use RICO, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, against global-warming skeptics.
They said in a letter addressed to President Obama, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Office of Science and Technology Policy Director John Holdren they “appreciate that you are making aggressive and imaginative use of the limited tools available to you in the face of a recalcitrant Congress.”
“One additional tool – recently proposed by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse – is a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) investigation of corporations and other organizations that have knowingly deceived the American people about the risks of climate change, as a means to forestall America’s response to climate change,” they wrote, according to Politico.
Now the tables are turned.
A mathematician and software engineer has filed a lawsuit in Texas naming dozens of environmental groups and others seeking to influence public action and expenditures regarding global warming programs in an action alleging violations of RICO.
Plaintiff Leonid Goldstein explains at the outset of his complaint, “This is a civil suit against Climate Action Network and other corporations, who engaged in a long-term criminal scheme, involving a false claim that anthropogenic release (or emissions) of carbon dioxide caused a dangerous ‘global warming’ or a dangerous ‘climate change,’ and persecution of the dissidents or demanding government actions, based on this false claim, including money transfer.
“In fact, the anthropogenic release of carbon dioxide significantly increases agricultural production worldwide. The surface warming, theoretically caused by increased concentration of carbon dioxide, is insignificant and almost undetectable, and is expected to be globally beneficial.”

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.
6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.
7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.
I'm sure you'll get right back to us with that.
Leonid Goldstein is the name of the enemy.

And here I thought Leonid was a bunch of meteorites. LOL! Yeah, any “DENIER” is the enemy and will be attacked like wj clintoon accusers. Forced to wear a Scarlet “D” around their neck. I take an XXL.
“Leonid Goldstein is the name of the enemy.”
?? He’s suing the climate crazies.
Big Brother does not allow descent.
Read the article folks. It’s saying the opposite of what some here are assuming it says. The lawsuit brought by Goldstein is AGAINST the climate-change industry. Saying its a hoax. (maybe underneath it all is some twisted strategy, but facially, it suggests Goldstein is asserting RICO claims against the climate-change salesmen).
Yep! Reading is fundamental!
You’re right. Thank you.
When the dinosaurs were running around and up until 40 million years ago, there was NO ice at the poles and carbon dioxide levels were up to five times as high as today.
Then the Himalayas formed to speed up weathering and South America separated from Antarctica, allowing water currents to flow around that land mass and trap cold air there - and the ice sheets started to form.
World temperatures fell 10-15° and remained lower, and what were likely normal fluctuations from tropical to temperate became warm periods (now) to ice ages.
Based on that, we have to warm up quite a bit to reach “historical” averages and higher CO2, too.
Climate change is the Lysenkoism of our time, the scientific theory that justifies the political views.
Actually, climate change is even worse because it justifies worldwide political actions and totalitarianism down to food rationing, birth control, energy usage and mandated poverty - for the planet, which will never argue unlike children who grow up to disagree with what is done in their name.
