Scientists Ask Obama To Prosecute Global Warming Skeptics

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.”

RICO was a law designed to take down organized crime syndicates, but scientists now want it to be used against 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.

it's so called because it is a consensus. climate change is happening and is caused by humans.

So now that we have the source of all truthiness, should those who defy it be prosecuted?

Should they be labeled heretics and be burned at the stake unless they recant?

if one can prove these scientists knowingly falsified results, knowingly misinterpreted data, all to mislead the public, yes, of course they should be prosecuted.

"Should they be labeled heretics and be burned at the stake unless they recant?"
yes, yes, you are comparing climate change deniers with scientists during the inquisition. we have noticed.
...[text shortened]... etimes you are the laughing stock of the scientific community because you are a moron or a liar.

Should the same justice be distributed to politicians like Obama who promised that our health insurance rates would not increase and that we could keep the same coverage etc?

All this talk is interesting because a British court found that Al Gores movie on global warming had 9 "untruths" and was declared propaganda.

I'm guessing they don't want him held accountable.

warmer. you can google the exact amount.

lower.

Back in the day, the tobacco company executives, under oath in congress, denied that tobacco was either addictive or carcinogenic. They were committing perjury of course but they were never prosecuted. The energy industry profiteers today, in protecting their incredible revenue streams, deny that the globe is trapping heat in the environment. They are not likely to be prosecuted either.
Its insufficient to prosecute these people. Some of them, at least, are corrupt to the extent that they would risk that planet before they'd educate themselves. It's very difficult to fathom an appropriate response, but jail time is far too gentle.
At any rate, they are too ignorant to be in high political office
