The 20 climate scientists and academics who sent a letter to President Barack Obama asking him to prosecute global warming skeptics may be in big trouble.
A congressional committee is now looking into the government-backed nonprofit that circulated the letter, demanding they turn over all e-mail, electronic documents, and data created since January 1, 2009. The group has one week to respond in writing to the committees request.
The Institute of Global Environment and Society (IGES) appears to be almost fully funded by taxpayer money while simultaneously participating in partisan political activity by requesting a RICO investigation of companies and organizations that disagree with the Obama administration on climate change, Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith, chairman of the House science committee, wrote in a letter to IGES.

No kidding. Discovery opens up all sorts of possibilities...
Excellent. It is long past time to go after actions like this being done to us on our dime.
Holy crap. Not only are they stupid, they're liars. Some days it gets so thick, I wish I had my chest waders on.
Bkmrk.
Yeah, it turns out that they were all government funded.

I feared that climate deniers would be prosecuted and that totalitarian China would be our reality.
Prosecute them for what crime?
Thanks for that link. That looks like a pretty sweet money laundering operation run by the Global Warming Alchemist
What’s the odds any of them are actual scientist? That would be like calling Obama a President, it’s pure BS.

Proud to live in his district!
How many times have the 20 climate scientists and academics visited the White House in the past 6 + years ?
