Dem. Senator Hopes The DOJ Sues Global Warming ‘Deniers’
dailycaller.com ^ | june 25, 2015 | Michael Bastasch

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is not a fan of anyone who disagrees with him about man-made global warming. And at an event hosted by environmentalists, he made it clear just how much he doesn’t like skeptics.

“But, this vast denial apparatus that propagates the false doubt, that props up the phony science, that gets these yahoos who can’t survive … peer-reviewed scrutiny onto Fox News, onto the cable shows, saying that their scientists, they create an artificial conflict about this and that’s why I think there’s doubt,” the Rhode Island Democrat told attendees at a League of Conservation Voters event in last month, according to a recently published Youtube video.

“A lot of people haven’t seen through the scam that’s being perpetrated,” Whitehouse said. “So that’s one of the reasons I hope that we get another lawsuit out of the Department of Justice, like the one they brought against the tobacco industry that showed that the whole fraudulent scam was a racketeering enterprise, held them accountable for it.”

This is not the only time Whitehouse suggested the federal government prosecute global warming skeptics under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) for being a “racketeering enterprise.”

"So free speech is now illegal?"

Yep, little by little, bit by bit.

You can be arrested in some parts of the country for Hate speech because those offended felt in danger. Then you will get a disturbing the peace charge etc.

Bottom line you got arrested and charged for saying words.

You can get arrested for saying bomb in an airport and charged with inciting panic etc. and get put on a no fly list.

You can get arrested for saying so and so politician or cop should be hung. Charged with threatening a government official etc. and can be fined and or incarcerated for it though it is rare.

BTW any of these can get you on the government no fly list and you have little recourse.

““A lot of people haven’t seen through the scam that’s being perpetrated,” Whitehouse said.”

Many of us saw through the global warming scam a long time ago, big money at stake for those like algore and power over the people for the socialist.

What’s next? Will Sheldon Whitehouse ask the DOJ to arrest people who don’t agree with his political feelings?

We the people must expose that our federal government is a fraudulent scam and racketeering enterprise.

I’m not even convinced you’d need RICO to take him down.

It was out and out fraud from the get go.

Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide - Global Warming: The Cold, Hard Facts? By Timothy Ball

No Smoking Hot Spot (The Australian)

The missing hotspot (JoNova)

Those two articles take Greenhouse Theory at face value and by the criterion set up in the theory itself finds no evidence of warming on the basis of greenhouse effect.

Sky-high hole blown in AGW theory?

"Forbes reports on a peer-reviewed study that uses NASA data to show that the effects of carbon-based warming have been significantly exaggerated. In fact, much of the heat goes out into space rather than stay trapped in the atmosphere, an outcome that started long before AGW alarmists predicted:"

That article explains why no Hot Spot has been found.

The Hidden Flaw in Greenhouse Theory

Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics

Harvard astrophysicist dismisses AGW theory, challenges peers to 'take back climate science'

It Is Impossible For A 100 ppm Increase In Atmospheric CO2 Concentration To Cause Global Warming

Simple Chemistry and the Real Greenhouse Effect.

Those five articles each show that Greenhouse Theory has no basis in reality due to a direct conflict with the known laws of physics. No wonder the smoking gun "hotspot" can't be found.

Claim That Sea Level Is Rising Is a Total Fraud

That article kills any thought of planetary warming from any cause. Think about it. If there is absolutely no sign of an acceleration of sea level rise how could the planet be warming? The rise in sea level in the last 100 years is far less than the average over the last 18,000 years caused by the inter-glacial period we are in.

Dems can’t argue their point but must always shut down opposing opinion. They have found that the legal system under the corrupt Holder was an excellent tool for that. Free Speech means speech is free only if the libs agree with it.

Here is a three sentence answer.

CO2 is not a greenhouse gas, it causes cooling. CO2 and Water Vapor (H20) have the same heat index (.015 vs .016), they both reflect and absorb more heat than they allow through to the Earth’s surface. Does it get hotter or cooler when a cloud passes overhead?

Whitehouse is a liberal fascist. Compared to him, Lincoln Chafee is almost good.
