Democratic AGs, climate change groups colluded on prosecuting dissenters, emails show
The Washington Times ^ | April 17,2016 | By Valerie Richardson

In the hours before they took the stage for their March 29 press conference, Democratic attorneys general received a secret briefing from two top environmentalists on pursuing climate change dissenters.

Peter Frumhoff of the Union of Concerned Scientists and the Climate Accountability Institute’s Matt Pawa spent 45 minutes each providing talking points behind the scenes on “the imperative of taking action now” and “climate change litigation,” according to a cache of emails released over the weekend by the free market Energy & Environmental Legal Institute. David Schnare, legal counsel for E&E, called on the coalition, operating under the name AGs United for Clean Power, to reveal its relationship with the climate change movement.

“We call on these AGs to immediately halt their investigation and lay out for the public the full extent of this collusion, producing all records or information provided them in briefings or other work with the outside activists, including those they are trying to keep secret through a Common Interest Agreement,” Mr. Schnare said in a Friday statement.

He highlighted a March 30 email from Mr. Pawa telling two members of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s staff about a call from a Wall Street Journal reporter about his attendance at the press conference.

Mr. Pawa asked, “What should I say if she asks if I attended? No comment?”

Lemuel Srolovic, environmental protection bureau chief for the New York attorney general, advised Mr. Pawa to say nothing about his participation.

Global Warming is supposedly science.

It is not.

It is pure politics. It is the politics of intimidation, lying and persecution of anyone who speaks the truth.

From an article of obesity and how these same types (settled science narrative pushers) had ruined the career of a nutritionist when he claimed it was sugar and not fat causing obesity, and, the following comment serves perfectly for this argument as well:

Scientific inquiry is prone to the eternal rules of human social life: deference to the charismatic, herding toward majority opinion, punishment for deviance, and intense discomfort with admitting to error.

However, they also need to add the money factor, lots and lots of money involved in this scam called climate change.

Global warming is no longer the issue. Climate change is the issue

There can be no denial of climate change. Since there is no static climate condition, change is not only constant but absolute.

The issue that has been obfuscated is that climate change is man made. Since there is no way to prove the proposition one way or another, the wackos allow it to be promoted to obtain political advantage.

The denial of human causation is the issue. There is no human causation

“Global warming is no longer the issue. Climate change is the issue”

Global Warming and climate change are both political terms created by the same people to promote the exact same political fraud. They first called it global cooling, or the next ice age.

Their “solutions” all involve taking money, personal freedom and sovereignty from countries such as the United States.

Sounds like RICO charges should be sworn out against all of them...

I miss freedom, the Bill of Rights, and the rule of law. It was nice while it lasted though.

REAL numbers don't point to Man causing the climate to change. The atmosphere is .04% CO2 (720 billion tons). Everything man does including breathing puts 6 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. That's .83% OF .04% of the atmosphere. That's barely a pin prick on an elephant.

They picked on Exxon. Hopefully Exxon has the pocketbook that can fend these fascists off.
