DOJ Is Considering Whether To "Lynch" Climate Change Deniers"

Attorney General Loretta Lynch told the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday there have been discussions within the DOJ about pursuing civil action against so-called climate change deniers.
She added (in my words) that such First Amendment free speech has been referred to the FBI to decide whether they should oppress it or not.
Senate Judiciary Committee member Senator Shelton Whitehouse (D-R.I.) compared the past health danger denials of the tobacco industry to statements made by climate change deniers.
Old Dino has a big fat personal problem with being called a "climate change denier." My view is that the climate has always been changing from way, way before the species of my moniker even walked the earth.
Bet the early humans appreciated global warming during all those ice ages. Wonder if any whack job witch doctors were encouraging the Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals to keep those fires a-blazing in order to warm the planet up.

    Good for your neighborhood. My house was the only one on the street who disobeyed the edict. Of course that made me an absolute pariah, but that's fine with me.

    I think the EPA and the FBI may have been distracted.
    In my Alabama neighborhood no one dimmed anything that I could see.
    No one here cared about what we were "supposed" to do.

    As Orwell stated in "1984", Truth is lies and lies are truth". New world philosophy where disagreeing with the government is a crime... thought police should be outlawed....Vote as though your life depended on it because it soon will.

    I know. I agree. Not surprised one bit.

    I took, and keep, a strong stance in regards to another hotly-contested topic. I decided recently to no longer voice my opinion of it online. I've see people ruined - even seeing some wind up dead.

    Well said, allosaur. I think that I will be one of the first to be "lynched" because a couple of years ago on Earth Day when all of us in the country were to turn our lights out as a way to signal that we were all in unison to save the planet, I turned ON every light that I had in the house including the outside lights. I hoped that my house could be seen from outer space. I'm sure that the EPA and the FBI took notice.

    We don't deny the "Climate" is changing it is how or what direction it's changing and the mechanisms involved with those changes.

    WAIT...I can answer that: It's the SUN SILLY! and I wouldn't throw our your winter woolies if I were you.
