The absurd attempt by several
progressive attorney’s general to criminalize speech skeptical of climate
change is one of the most under-reported assaults on the first amendment in our
history.
Climate change Mullah, N.Y. Attorney
General Eric Schniederman, takes his climate religion so seriously that he
thinks he can sue Exxon-Mobile for donating money to groups skeptical of
climate change and confiscate communications between skeptical groups.
As the NY
Post reports, reality is starting to rain on the
progressive climate change parade: The climate-change “consensus” isn’t as
widespread as greenies claim.
Indeed, the claim itself is just
another attempt to silence debate. The science is settled, they say. Anyone who
disagrees must be a kook, a “denier.”
Schneiderman’s move and the March
presser may have won plaudits from the radicals, who hope to end use of all
fossil fuel. But it also drew outrage from First Amendment champions and those
who saw the probes as an abuse of office.
Lawmakers like House Science
Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) questioned the actions of the AGs.
Exxon counter-sued.
And this month, attorneys general
from 13 other states bashed their counterparts’ gambit as a “grave mistake.”
They made clear the hypocrisy and political motives of attacking Exxon:
Schneiderman & Co. claim the firm may have fraudulently minimized
climate-change risks. But what about, say, renewable-energy companies that
might be exaggerating them?
If temperatures rise more slowly
than expected (or not at all), they write, “many ‘clean energy’ companies may
become less valuable and some may be altogether worthless.” Why aren’t
Schneiderman & Co., who claim to be looking out for the public and
investors, subpoenaing them?
This is third world banana republic
stuff. If clowns like Eric Schniederman are this flamboyant about their lack of
respect for the law, imagine what goes on behind closed doors. Instead of
investigating actual crimes on Wall Street N.Y.
Attorney General Schniederman wastes
his resources perusing a nonsensical political agenda. Fortunately, lawmakers
like Lamar Smith and attorney’s general from other states are fighting back.
