Democratic lawmakers are doubling down on their investigations into those who don't tow the line on global warming by demanding records from oil companies they allege are part of a conspiracy "spreading disinformation about climate science."

The Daily Caller News Foundation obtained an email from staffers of Democratic Reps. Ted Lieu of California and Rep. Peter Welch of Vermont. In the email, Lieu and Welch ask other lawmakers to sign the letter demanding records from oil companies they say are "hiding and spreading disinformation to both the public and lawmakers alike concerning the science of climate change."

"The American people deserve answers from the fossil fuel corporations about their actions to massively deceive the public in regards to climate science," wrote in their pitch to Democrats.

So far, only 18 out of the 188 Democrats in the House have signed onto the letter, including Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona and six others who went after scientists skeptical of man-made global warming earlier this year. Now they are going after oil companies that don't tow the line on global warming.

The dems may not like how this could unfold. It could result in a real scientific debate and expose a lot of the politics surrounding the topic.

...sometimes they don’t know when to stop, I say “go for it”.

Lieu and Welch are engaging in criminal behavior.
There is no global warming.
We have been in a non-global warming cycle for ~19 years.
Never forget, the East Anglia Hockey Stick hoaxsters busted themselves as making up stuff to seem to support global warming in order to score government grant money.
Anthropogenic global warming is a transparent fraud orchestrated to grow bigger government, and all the people (both in and out of government) who have used tax-payer money to buy, pay for, and push this scam need to be prosecuted, and that certainly includes the afore mentioned duplicitous duo, Lieu and Welch.
