A Dictatorship which mandates censorship.

I’ve said before and I continue to be proven correct: each new day brings an actual or proposed abrogation of the rights and freedoms of true citizens of the United States of America.

Now, from DailyCaller.com:

Scientists Ask Obama To Prosecute Global Warming Skeptics

by Michael Bastasch

The science on global warming is settled, so settled that 20 climate scientists are asking President Barack Obama to prosecute people who disagree with them on the science behind man-made global warming.

Scientists from several universities and research centers even asked Obama to use the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) to prosecute groups that “have knowingly deceived the American people about the risks of climate change, as a means to forestall America’s response to climate change.”

This is not a new concept.  One of the most oppressed of European nations in terms of freedom of speech, the UK, embraced a BBC policy which disallows any refutation of Global Warming whatsoever in 2014.  The report is here for all to see.

RICO was a law designed to take down organized crime syndicates, but some scientists now want it to be used against those “other” scientists, activists and organizations that voice their disagreement with the so-called “consensus” on global warming. The scientists repeated claims made by environmentalists that groups, especially those with ties to fossil fuels, have engaged in a misinformation campaign to confuse the public on global warming.

RICO stands for “Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization.”

People who are either skeptical of climate change, Global Warming or even dare to investigate or question the science of any of this fall into the potential categories of heretics — to be burned alive at the digital written or spoken stake.

By American Leftists.  American “Scientific” Leftists.

Because, bottom line, a lot of big political grant dollars are at stake, sourced from the DC pig trough.

I call Global Warming proponents the Religious Left, meaning: despite statistics or facts or a sufficient amount of leverage, they believe because they simply want to believe.  Leftists completely eschew religion except when it involves Global Warming or “climate change.”  Hence: the Religious Left.

Newsflash.  “Climate change” occurs every year.  It’s hot as hell in the summer and cold in the winter.  Certain portions of the US get dumped-on for rain and snow, certain portions get their asses kicked with drought.  It is cyclical.  Humans haven’t occupied the planet for a sufficient amount of time to accurately predict or even place these cycles.  We have a few hundred years of statistics.

The planet has been around for 4.543 billion years.

I bet we’ve had a few more repetitive cycles that could be — ahem — predictable.

“The actions of these organizations have been extensively documented in peer-reviewed academic research and in recent books,” the scientists wrote.

Of course.  Etched in stone.

It only gets better, by way of Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse.

“We strongly endorse Senator Whitehouse’s call for a RICO investigation,” the scientists wrote to Obama. “The methods of these organizations are quite similar to those used earlier by the tobacco industry. A RICO investigation (1999 to 2006) played an important role in stopping the tobacco industry from continuing to deceive the American people about the dangers of smoking.”

“If corporations in the fossil fuel industry and their supporters are guilty of the misdeeds that have been documented in books and journal articles, it is imperative that these misdeeds be stopped as soon as possible so that America and the world can get on with the critically important business of finding effective ways to restabilize the Earth’s climate, before even more lasting damage is done,” the scientists added.

Guilty of “misdeeds.”  As interpreted or judged just by whom?

Oh right.  Leftists.

Because Leftists aren’t judgmental at all:

Arizona Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva went after universities employing these researchers, which resulted in one expert being forced to get out of the field of climate research altogether.

Of course.  Because Leftists are so understanding and assuaging and incredibly inclusive and embracing of diversity.

How beautiful.

To exclude divisive voices, opinions and writings.

How beautiful.

How cool is that?
