According to California Liberals, resistance is futile; agree with them on climate or be prosecuted. Sounds rather Nazi-esque, doesn’t it? Radical climate activists are perhaps the Fourth Reich trying to force us to bow to their ideas and march in lockstep? What’s next, “camps” to redirect our thought patterns and opinions to the “correct” Leftist way of thinking…the Progressive way? Oh right, let’s not forget those already exist, we call them “the media.” Thankfully the measure failed this time around, but look for those Progressive Cali nuts to continue to hammer away at it until they get their way and those who don’t buy the climate crisis are in jail. Unless someone stands up and fights them.

From Legal Insurrection:

California Senate just sidelined a bill to prosecute climate change skeptics.

Senate Bill 1161, or the California Climate Science Truth and Accountability Act of 2016, would have authorized prosecutors to sue fossil fuel companies, think tanks and others that have “deceived or misled the public on the risks of climate change.”

The measure, which cleared two Senate committees, provided a four-year window in the statute of limitations on violations of the state’s Unfair Competition Law, allowing legal action to be brought until Jan. 1 on charges of climate change “fraud” extending back indefinitely.

“This bill explicitly authorizes district attorneys and the Attorney General to pursue UCL claims alleging that a business or organization has directly or indirectly engaged in unfair competition with respect to scientific evidence regarding the existence,the state Senate Rules Committee’s floor analysis of the bill.

If there is a “Hall of Infamy” for proposed laws, this bill should take pride-of-place in the science wing. A snippet reveals that the justification for this measure is based on the false “consensus” assertion and is also derived from the questionable science policies implemented by Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency:

(1) There is broad scientific consensus that anthropogenic global warming is occurring and changing the world’s climate patterns, and that the primary cause is the emission of greenhouse gases from the production and combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas.

(2) The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) states that the buildup of atmospheric greenhouse gases results in impacts that include the following:

(A) Changing temperature and precipitation patterns.
(B) Increases in ocean temperatures, sea level, and acidity.
(C) Melting of glaciers and sea ice.
(D) Changes in the frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme weather events.
(E) Shifts in ecosystem characteristics, such as the length of the growing season, timing of flower blooms, and migration of birds.
(F) Increased threats to human health.

California Democrats should be prosecuted for stomping on our First Amendment rights. In their fool’s paradise of a world, disagreement is not permitted. But in the world of common sense and freedom, these freedom killers should be removed from any position of power. They bully the people under the guise of “legislation” and “helping the earth’. But bullies are bullies no matter where they are found. And these bullies need a hard lesson in freedom.
