Unable to convince Americans of the alleged dangers of man-made global warming using evidence or the scientific method or even billions worth of tax-funded propaganda and manipulation a group of self-styled climate scientists want a new weapon to make you believe their controversial theory: government coercion and even prosecution of climate heretics. In a letter to Obama and his attorney general, a team of 20 professors, echoing the recent factually challenged ramblings of Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), urged the administration to start prosecuting climate realists under the anti-mafia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). In other words the debate is not really over after all, if the threat of prosecution must be employed in an attempt to end the allegedly non-existent debate.
Ironically, the RICO statute would be far more appropriate if used to investigate and prosecute the tax-funded global-warming industry for its organized efforts to defraud humanity of its wealth and liberties. As exposed in the ClimateGate e-mail scandals, for example, which involved at least one of the recent letter's signatories, the tactics of the $1 billion-per-day global-warming industry include brazenly violating freedom of information laws, concealing data that contradicts their theory, bullying scientific journals and scientists into silence, threatening those who actually follow the evidence, and much more. Separately, even a cursory examination of the predictions of climate fear-mongers from the global-cooling alarmists of yesteryear to the warming theorists of today reveals an embarrassing track record in which virtually every falsifiable prediction has been proven wrong. Just the laws of probability suggest an occasional climate prophecy would come true, yet the facts speak for themselves.

Then the FBI should watch him until he's very old. This kind of a power grab sounds like a combination of the ambition of a young Hitler and the insanity of Charles Manson.
This is scary. You are now starting to threaten scientific independence with political power. This weapon can be brought out anytime those in power want to stifle the opposition. Nothing is sacred in this country any more.
Don’t forget Michael Mann author of the fraudulent “hockey stick” projection.
The very nature of scientific investigation is to explore, hypothesize, test and evaluate based on indications. But, no serious "scientist" would ever tell someone that the science is settled. The whole point of scientific curiosity is to constanttly test and evaluate a hypothesis.
If anything most of the media darlings are either advocates or activists in support of the cause. The are researching to support their conclusion instead of a conclusion.
I think they have wanted that for a VERY long time. Look at the weather men. Globull warming is just another issue among many. These evil suck bags want all of us to take a dirt nap. I would never say that I wish the same on them. 😡 No, I would never say that. 😆
