The ghost of Stalinist “science” is back with Lysenkoism 2.0. When top climate experts such as MIT's Richard Lindzen and former NASA climatologist Roy Spencerridiculed the alarmist movement as the “climate cult” and “global warming Nazis,” they were a lot closer to the mark than even they probably realized. Instead of explaining whythe satellite and weather balloon temperature record shows that there has been no warming in over 18 years, in defiance of every United Nations “climate model,” the warmists have decided to simply prosecute and terrorize their critics with threats of fines, jail time, and even executions. Seriously. Now the threats are becoming reality, with Democrat alarmists and Rockefeller-funded activists leading the way.
This has frightening parallels to the campaign of firing, imprisonment, sentencing to gulags, and even execution waged against Soviet scientists who questioned the pseudo-scientific views of Soviet biologist Trofim Lysenko, who was supported by Joseph Stalin.
With the man-made global-warming theory increasingly becoming the subject of ridicule, Democrat attorneys general in over 15 states are taking it to the next level. They call themselves “AGs United for Clean Power.” Among other schemes, the “law-enforcement officers” are plotting a massive legal attack on climate skeptics, science, free speech, constitutional government, imaginary boogeymen, and of course, common sense. But the plan is almost certain to backfire, big time — even in the remote chance that the prosecutors succeed in duping or strongarming a jury into fining or jailing climate heretics who have helped expose the absurdity of climate alarmism.
Ironically, the infamous “Gore effect” was right on time. In New York, where the attorneys general and discredited activist Al Gore made the announcement about the plan last week, record cold is wreaking havoc. Northern New York even saw sub-zero temperatures this week, shattering daily and April records. That hardly put a chill in the alarmists' jihad on climate infidels, however.
The bizarre effort to intimidate scientists and criminalize skepticism of the government-backed anthropogenic (man-made) global-warming theory, known as AGW, has already drawn numerous comparisons with the Inquisition. Indeed, the conductor of the alarmist train, former United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change boss Rajendra K. Pachauri, admitted in his resignation letter that his crusade was actually his “religion.” He resigned due to sexual harrasment charges, and is now facing serious charges in his native India.
As mentioned above, the ongoing witch hunt involves state attorneys general in some 16 states, plus discredited climate guru Al“no more Arctic ice cap” Gore and other AGW fanatics with a vested interest in the failed theory. Their radical plan: Intimidate and prosecute those who point out the flaws in their own pet theory — crucial to the globalist agenda — by claiming the skeptics are committing “fraud.” The opposite, is, in fact, closer to the truth, as mountains of evidence and testimony continue to show.
A 2014 Pew survey revealed that just 40 percent of Americans even believed the AGW theory, so it is clear that billions in propaganda and the frequent lectures from President Obama are not helping. Perhaps the new alliance of attorneys general hopes those numbers can be brought up a bit by prosecuting some dissenters and using what prosecutors call the “deterrent” effect. For now, though, despite the fact that virtually all of Big Business and Big Oil are in the tank for AGW alarmism, the climate inquisitors claim to be focused on companies that allegedly promote or allegedly have promoted skepticism of the AGW theory. Eventually, individuals may face the inquisitors, too.
With virtually every major oil company reliably touting and even funding the climate hysteria, the first to be targeted is oil giant ExxonMobil. Prosecutors in New York and California have already started “investigations” into the firm, while attorneys general from Massachusetts and the Virgin Islands announced last week that they would join in. In a statement, the company blasted the claims by the coalition of officials as “preposterous.”
The #ExxonKnew campaign, started by radical activists and self-styled “journalists” funded by the oil and banking Rockefeller dynasty, argues that the company “knew” about “man-made global warming” — alleged warming that according to satellite data has been mysteriously missing for 18 years, potentially even longer, discrediting every single UN climate model.
