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.”

The libs are going to go full throttle for the next two years. They have to get as much done while Obama and Roberts are in control.
The only one who should be prosecuted under RICO is Al Gore who has become enormously wealthy off this scam.
Isn’t Obamaland great?
Now why don’t you shut your bigoted face and go pay your taxes. Your hard working government is broke. :)
Physicist Howard Hayden's one-letter disproof of global warming claims [pre-Climategate]Dear Administrator Jackson:
I write in regard to the Proposed Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act, Proposed Rule, 74 Fed. Reg. 18,886 (Apr. 24, 2009), the so-called "Endangerment Finding."
It has been often said that the "science is settled" on the issue of CO2 and climate. Let me put this claim to rest with a simple one-letter proof that it is false.
The letter is s, the one that changes model into models. If the science were settled, there would be precisely one model, and it would be in agreement with measurements.
Alternatively, one may ask which one of the twenty-some models settled the science so that all the rest could be discarded along with the research funds that have kept those models alive.
We can take this further. Not a single climate model predicted the current cooling phase. If the science were settled, the model (singular) would have predicted it.
(excerpted from Professor Hayden's letter to Lisa P. Jackson, Administrator Environmental Protection Agency. More at link.)
Well, he has SCOTUS on his side.
well, so much for freedom of speech.
So free speech is now illegal? Can’t count on SCOTUS to defend it.
That boy needs a good smackdown.
Depends on what the person holding Roberts’ “bag” think should be happening, right?
You can’t yell “NO FIRE!” when the Erf is Burning....
Bump
Congress needs a RICO charge against them!!!
They really are asking for it, aren’t they?
The Earth’s temperature cannot be measured.
The temperature of a thermodynamic system is only defined if the system is at equilibrium. The Earth is never at equilibrium; there are too many ways for enthalpy to be stored in the various interconnected thermal sources and sinks that make up the environment of the Earth’s surface.
To speak of “the temperature of the atmosphere” reveals that the speaker is scientifically illiterate.
Your assertion seems to be correct. We will be bombarded by crazed “ideas” many put into practice. The left smells a kill.
Wouldn't that be a hoot. Prosecute the scientists skeptical on global warming, and ignore Hillary's Clinton Foundation influence peddling and multitude of other crimes. Wow, we are in terrible shape as a country. These are truly lawless times!!!
Discovery is a bitch. Of course, those e-mail are probably backed up on Hillary’s server or by the IRS data obscurement service.
This DIM senator is yet another in a large crowd of people who don’t understand science and scientific method. What a dimwit. Maybe the DOJ should sue him for being such a misinformed idiot.
